It’s was such a treat to be pampered especially since we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Hope to visit again. Grateful for this memorable experience. 😉

    Great hotel in a great location. The grab and go porridge in reception was a nice touch. The hotel also provided cookies and coffee which was great also. The rooms were spacious and modern and very comfortable for our stay. We used the heated pool and hot tub which was great.

    The location is very good, we walked to down town and the beach. Room and property was very clean. Personel was very friendly. We had to pay for parking our car. There is no breakfast, but we could take coffee, tea or water and cakes or fruit for free. That was very good. It was a good room, spacious and nice. Nice swimming pool and hot tub.
