The hotel was closed and wasn't communicable. We had to look for another place to stay. Expedia at the other end defends these scammers and refuse to refund our payment when it is very clear that they broke the contract since we got no service. NEVER AGAIN.

Toen ik en mijn partner arriveerden was er een klein probleem met de reservering. Onze reservering was nergens te vinden. Het werd wel op een professionele manier aangepakt en opgelost door de beheerster. Wij kregen een tijdelijke kamer voor onze eerste nacht en de eerstvolgende ochtend mochten we verhuizen naar een studio, zoals wij gereserveerd hebben. Als compensatie kregen aan het eind van onze verblijf een lekkere ontbijt, gemaakt door de beheerster zelf. De accommodatie was verder netjes, schoon, gezellig en we konden in de avond heerlijk buiten zitten en genieten van het lekker weer. Het zwembad was was lekker schoon en wij hebben lekker elke dag gezwommen. Deze accommodatie zal ik zeker aanraden.
