Housekeeping was always friendly and although not everyone spoke English, there was always someone nearby to help translate. It's not a boutique hotel, so you're quite anonymous which in itself can be very relaxing.
We're a 50+ couple, but for children (grandchildren) there is a special pool surrounded by couples with young children, a playground next to the pool on the beach and a clubhouse halfway up the gardenpath (English and German).
We rented a car (automatic) across the road (next to the mini market/hotel also has a lshop in the cellar) from Budget and got a good deal. Three days and CDW plus full insurance for 118 euro's. Particularly...Read more
