Happy Visitors
I absolutely loved this place. The staff made us feel at home as soon as we got there, the room was clean and comfy, there's free breakfast for everyone and it is located right next to the beach. We were meant to stay there a night or two, we ended up staying for the week (plus, you get the seventh night for free!). We'll be back 🙂
From the first minute on I felt like home, that was the reason why I ended up from checking in for two days extending to one week. It has a nice garden area where we used to chill out after the surf sessions and next door is amo's coffe shop, where I got my coffee every morning.
I will definitely go back there!
I stayed almost 10 days, I had a great time. Nice and friendly people, good location - especially during the evening it was awesome just to sit outside, have some beers and watch the ocean. I ll be Back!
