Die Lage ist top. Unbedingt Prime Zimmer nehmen. Die Aussicht ist grossartig.

− Vom Frühstücksraum gibts einen kleinen Strandabschnitt zu sehen, der voller Müll ist. Der Wächter steht dort, und Personal gibts genug, den Müll täglich zu entsorfen. Schade, wenn man beim Frühstücken auf Müll schauen muss, der leicht entfernt werden könnte.
