阿卡羅阿確實是個很適合度假的小鎮,酒店沒有電梯。房間非常非常大,床也非常大。 有餐具,和微波爐,但沒有爐具。這麼有風味的陽台,沒能吃頓牛排有點小可惜

motel的位置非常好,就在海邊,推開陽台門就能直面海景,另外附近很多好吃的小店,天氣好的話散步非常舒服~不過房間設施有點年代了,隔音也不是很好,但是瑕不掩瑜還是值得推薦~

This stay was just as good as the last! Big rooms, great bed, lovely fluffy towels and walking distance to several restaurants etc. Nothing bad to say about this place :)

We had a terrific stay at the Criterion - Felicity was very welcoming on arrival and her sidekick [apologies, I didn't get her name] was very helpful throughout our stay. The room was very clean, bed was very comfortable - I like a reasonably firm bed, and the choice of pillows was good. Nice fluffy towels, good water pressure in the shower and a spacious room. Would have liked instructions re the heatpump, as I'm not familiar with operating heatpumps, and the shower 'leaks' in one corner, but apart from those small issues, our stay was excellent.
