Hotel Nikko Alivila
Beautiful beach and pool area in a quiet area. Hotel is pretty far from town and food options, but there is a restaurant there. Pool is cold and closes at 4:00 in the winter. Every amenity and activity at the hotel cost extra, which is odd, be cause you should be able to use their indoor relaxation ...
