beach location wave sound breakfast variety pool closure billiards cost powdered coffee
The location directly on the beach was very nice. i loved hearing the waves from my room. It was very relaxing. the breakfast spread was amazing. The variety was wide and well prepared.
The pool was closed without any prior notice. This was very disappointing. i was also surprised that billiards cost 6€ per hour. the powdered coffee in the room was not great.
