Fantastic Stay Near the Coast!

helpful staffdog menuhearty portionscheerful area
The staff helped me a lot. Young lads sorted out parking, then a young lady fixed the TV. She also arranged dinner and was smiling. The dog menu exists and Peanut enjoyed her dinner. Breakfast starts the day great.
The wardrobe was difficult to fully open due to a bedside table's position.

the room i got it, eh, wasn't exactly spacious. opening the wardrobe fully reminded me of a tactical exercise. also, the promised coffee table in the sitting room must have been on vacation. these omissions, i think.

The room I stayed in felt quite small, a disappointment considering the price. The shower lacked power, and the shower room was tiny. I also noticed the toilet seat did not fit the toilet properly. This.

A Pleasant Stay

friendly stafflocal fishbig breakfastlive musiclate arrivalfloor bounce
The staff were friendly. They were helpful. The food tasted delicious. I enjoyed local fish one evening. The apartment was spacious. It featured a big cooked breakfast. The restaurant and bar had a beer garden.
The live music played downstairs until late. It wasn't mentioned before our arrival. The floor in the apartment bounced. I found it a bit disruptive. I was like I should have checked the schedule first.
