Gute Lage mit Ausblick auf den Ozean und als Startpunkt für Ausflüge.
Der Frühstücks-Fruchtjoghurt war stets frisch und schmeckte super, das Ei wurde einem persönlich nach Wunsch aus den vorhandenen Zutaten zubereitet und mit morgendlichen Grüßen serviert.
Der Zimmerservice machte unauffällig und akkurat seinen Job.
Das Bett war komfortabel und WiFi und Smart TV funktionierten ordentlich.
Regelmäßig schwammen Delphine an dem Bereich entlang.
Gesamteindruck ordentliche 6,5 von 10 Punkten.
Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte eine Renovierung bzw. mehr Pflege vertragen. Hier etwas undicht, da etwas scharfkantig. Auch die Grundausstattung der Küche ist karg, keine Geschirrtücher, Spülmittel und auch sonst eine eher geringe Grundausstattung und keine Stromadapter.
Wenig Aufhänger bzw. Haken und auch sonst nicht alles praktisch durchdacht, kein Spiegel und keine Steckdose im Waschbereich.
Das ein oder andere an Auswahl beim Frühstück wäre fein.

Friendly Staff
Awesome Location on the dunes
Great breakfast
A bit shabby
Proximity to ocean causes its toll. Many things a bit rusty. i.e. blinds in the bathroom cannot be closed completely although public area on the other side. Needs a renovation.

Vom Empfang, zum Zimmer, zum Frühstück mit Ausblick aufs Meer.
Parkplätze gibt es vor der Tür.
Die Betten sind so bequem, dass ich den besten Schlaf hatte für einen Urlaub.
Abends konnte man auf der Terasse den Sonnenuntergang beobachten und einfach die Seele baumeln lassen.
Es gab genug Handtücher, Seife, Shampoo und Duschgel. Sehr Geräumig, ein Kühlschrank sowie Kaffee und Tee war vorhanden.
Da gibt es tatsächlich nichts.

The breakfast was amazing. Beautifully presented, delicious and generous.
There was no one on site for check-in and we had to wait for someone to come and open up. Room was stuffy. No dinner on request as advertised.

1. Location is good right with wilderness beach 250 metres away..
1. On checking in I got a call from hotel staff that their kettle is ruined because of smell of milk as my wife had used it to boil milk to prepare milk coffee and they now need to purchase a new one because it cannot be used anymore which seems ridiculous since we have been using kettles in our homes for the same purpose ..
2.They asked us to make payment for a new one through credit card which they would be purchasing..
Brand new in exchange of a new one !!
If my review can reach any of you..pls don't go to this place secondly even if you go don't use their stuff or you might up end getting charged for things you don't even know..
I don't know but me and my wife felt very bad by this behavior of the staff especially for the tourists like us who travel thousand of kms to be at your place..

8.0 / 10.0
The scenery, location, hosts and breakfast. The safety - possible to walk alone on the beach as well as in the area. Never worried about the parked car, or about personal belongings in the room.
The one photo on the Internet is a bit misleading - the room seems spacious. The room that we were in was less spacious.

Benji and his father were fantastic hosts.
Breakfasts were a feast and booking a dinner prepared by Benji is a must!
