Excellent surf stay experience

surfboard rentals friendly staff sufficient breakfast clean room

I found the surfboard rentals very helpful. They included a wetsuit without additional charge. The staff members are really friendly. Breakfast offers enough to energize you for a morning at the sea with toast, porridge, coffee, and fruit. The room was clean and have a sea view from the window.

I noted the shower drain was blocked when i arrived, but they try they best to unblock it.
