The resort has spacious pitches and offers a lovely location next to the beach, with amenities like mini-golf and biking trails for recreation. However, it feels a bit overpriced given the lack of included sauna access, and the breakfast quality could definitely improve.

I had a surprisingly good stay at this small hotel that exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms were newly renovated and very clean, offering a nice view and own balcony. However, the breakfast was a bit disappointing and not the best value for my money. On the plus side, the amenities like the sauna, camping area, and mini golf were enjoyable, making my overall experience quite pleasant.
