It was a real disappointment. I booked a ocean view room. We couldn’t see the ocean, but just the white fog. I asked if the weather was normal at the end of july: fog and 12 Celsius degrees. They answer it is always like this, and just a few days of the year you can actually have no fog… the pool is closed but you wouldn’t use it anyway.. it’s too...
