Everyone was very friendly and the hotel was nice. It worked great for my 3 kids and I. The only trick was that the air conditioner was in one room and not the other so we had to leave the door to the room open to let it even out a bit.

This is a very small hotel that is not well taken care of. Needs a lot of updating. The rooms are very small with twin beds and no comforters. They leave sheets so you have to make the bed yourself and towels are only given every four days. The best thing about the hotel is the restaurant. The chef is very good, but the service is not.

Zimmer sehr klein.Wussten nicht wo wir unsere beiden Koffer unterbringen sollten.Das uns zugeteilten Zimmer wurde bei Ankunft von der Rezeption als Upgrade angepriesen.Dann möchte ich nicht die ursprünglich gebuchte Standartkategorie sehen. Wir würden in einem von zwei Zimmer im Erdgeschoss des Haupthauses untergebracht.Unmittelbar neben der Rezeption,dem Restaurant und der Küche sowie dem Treppenaufgang zu den oberen Stockwerken.Außen vorm sogenannten Balkon war der Parkplatz und der Zugang zum Pool. Bedeutend Abends erst nach 24 Uhr etwas Ruhe,schlimmer früh morgens so um 5 Uhr bereitete die Küche das Frühstück vor,wurden im Restaurant die Stühle und Tische wieder zurechtgerückt. Alles in allem,noch nie so ein schlechtes Hotel gehabt. Ausnahme war das Restaurant eher überdurchschnittlich und das Personal

Bon séjour de 3 nuits dans l’hôtel. Chambre spacieuse mais peu insonorisée. Les portes claquent facilement malheureusement. Petit-déjeuner inclus, plutôt varié mais manque de produits sucrés (viennoiseries ou autre). Accueil et personnel très agréable.

hôtel bien situé, proche de l'aeroport et à quelques pas de la mer.Chambre avec le minimum, salle de bain petite mais propre.Par contre petit déjeuner imposé, tous les jours different mais beaucoup trop de salé à mon goût, pas de céréales et jus fluo, ça pourrait ressembler à de l'orange mais pas vraiment.

Non adatto a famiglie con viaggiono con il cane

Non adatto a famiglie con in viaggio con il proprio cangnolino, anche piccolo. Il personale dell'hotel con modi poco cortesi te lo fa capire. Siccome avevamo già prenotato una sola notte per partenza molto presto per aereo di rientro mi sono adeguato a dormire in auto con la compagnia del mio cane; ovviamente il personale dell'hotel bussava in camera per controllare se c'era il cane.... pensando che facessimo i furbi. Probabilmente è abituato ad una certa clientela ... Da EVITARE (...evitare anche i clienti presenti in piscina ..)

Ohne grosse Ansprüche

Ich habe das Hotelzimmer nur zum schlafen gebraucht, da ich für drei Wochen ein Auto gemeietet hatte um das Land kennen zu lernen. Im Zimmer war allerdings alles vorhanden aber ohne Komfort und das Zimmer war ruhig. Wären es Ferien gewesen, bei denen das Hotelzimmer ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Ferien gewesen wären hätte ich sehrwahrscheinlich von Anfang an ein anderes Hotel gewählt oder mir die Zimmer in den beiden neuen Hotelgebäuden zeigen lassen. Ich war im ältesten Teil des Hotels, kann daher die anderen Zimmer in den beiden neuen Hotelgebäuden nicht beurteilen. Das Restaurant des Hotels ist eher überdurchschnittlich, die Poolanlage ist gemütlich und schön. Das Hotel bietet Gratis Autoparkplatze an. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und immer zuvorkommend der Service war gut.
