Excellent location, lovely pool, great breakfast. Rooms OK with new bathrooms, balcony rather tatty. Evening buffet rather expensive, we'd suggest walking along the beach to the village.

A truly outstanding property, certainly one of the best along the Baltic coast. Nice that it is medium-sized, with very friendly staff that we soon got to know more closely. It is located right by the beach and with high standards throughout, without being too ritzy. AWESOME cakes at their restaurant! And great they have an electric vehicle charger (for a fee). It's Adults only though.
