charmed by the bayside

hotel location room view helpful staff

the hotel located right on the bay were fabulous. view from the room was very nice i think. i used free hotel sun loungers and swam in clear water. the reception organised bikes for us one day, costing 20 euro. staff helped book restaurants, that was kind.

breakfast was disappointing. i found mold on some peaches one morning, that's not good. replenishment were slow. the breakfast room in the newer building was indoors.
