Slitent, lite hotell. Veldig hyggelig og behjelpelig betjening. Ligger litt utenfor allfarvei, men rett på en nydelig strand. Man bor praktisk talt med lokalbefolkningen rundt.

Séjour en famille. Maman solo qui voyage avec deux enfants. L’hôtel est bien situé en bord de mer avec une piscine. Le wifi ne fonctionne pas toujours… comme les coupures d’électricité fréquentes. Vous êtes proche de tout. Le personnel est très agréable et pro.
