Our Guest Words


"Excellent with small child"

We were here for the second time this year the place is in a great location the seafront pool is very useful with a 6 month old. The staff is friendly and attentive to the needs of children the structure is out of the center so the place is very quiet the bike path in front of the hotel on the sea is great for beautiful walks overlooking the sea without having to walk on the sand so great for the stroller.
