Friendly Staff, Wonderful Sea Views from the Dining room, Well laid out ground floor. My Room was small and compact, yet comfortable and all I required available.
A helpful List in one's room of facilities, especially the code for the free wi-fi offered but not used due to it not being on display.

Super Lage, schwache Bar
Die Lage ist umwerfend mit direktem Strandzugang.
Das Frühstück war noch so gerade in Ordnung, aber die Bar war für ein Hotel dieser Größe trostlos. Zum Glück gab es am Strand ein Strandkaffee, das eine Alternative bot. Für Meer- und Strandurlauber ist die Lage ausschlaggebend, allerdings fanden wir das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für die Zimmer nur durch die Lage gerechtfertigt.

A very comfortable, relaxed and calm hotel with stunning views
There was a good choice of continental breakfast - we didn’t have anything cooked
We thought the breakfast charge could have been included in the price of the room
