Very nice housekeeping and bartenders

The housekeeping and the people working in the bar/restaurant are so kind and lovely. I have rarely met staff so sweet when I have been travelling. The janitor that came to fix my door was also very nice. The food and the drinks in the restaurant was also very good! The front desk’s communication at the beginning was not very good, because they didn’t tell me at the beginning that the sunbeds cost 3 euros per day. The AC also stopped working in the middle of the night and there were no people here. Nobody told me at the check in either that there was an emergency number I could call. After some time I got to change to a room that was much better. Front Desk staff was helpful and solution-oriented when they eventually realized that I was not satisfied with the situation. The apartment itself was really nice, good location and close to the beach. I would recommend this resort to other people.

Henkilökunta mukavia, auttavaisia. Palvelu pelasi hyvin. Hyvää ruokaa ravintolassa. Uima allas hyvä mutta isompikin sais olla. Kissamoksen kadulle pieni kävelymatka jossa paljon liikkeitä, ravintoloita. Ainut miinus oli portaat. Kaiteet saisi olla molemmilla puolilla. Aivan rannalla.

Veldig hyggelige ansatte. Følte oss veldig velkomne. Bar og restaurant hadde åpnet fra morgen til kveld, så innsjekk gikk fint selv om resepsjonen var stengt. Internettet kunne med fordel vært raskere.

Fremragende beliggenhed - lige ved stranden.

Helt igennem perfekt ophold. Vi havde 2 vær. lejlighed i 2 etager - med fuld panorama udsigt. Adgang til solsenge på egen strand (som man dog skal betale for at benytte). Lille restaurant der serverer mad og drikkevarer. Virkelig god service. Eneste ting man skal være opmærksom på er at det kan være en udfordring for gangbesværede. Der er rigtig mange trapper.

Okej för läget och priset

Väldigt få solstolar vid poolen och poolen var ganska liten. De tog betalt för stolarna på stranden. Städningen var inte toppenbra, det var mest bäddning och golven sopades. Poolbaren sköttes separat och där var bra service och goda drinkar!
