Good hotel with flaws *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

I would like to summarise briefly the whole vacation, since some people might also be interested.
Booked with Neckermann/Bucher journeys with shuttle.
Flight from Hannover was good the, the staff friendly.
The flight took two H ten minutes
The transfer from the airport to the hotel by bus, cab worked submissions Andrei with nice staff.

Arrived at the hotel we competent and without any problems.
Then the first disillusionment-the rooms were more bad than good-large enough, but there was sand and Erdb rock-these were in the whole week at places like heating, behind the door etc. never cleared.
The room with a balcony and a functional tv with international channels and RTL, very small bathroom.
In the bathroom a sink is in front of the toilet, at regular intervals from the water was a bit high.
Slight mold in the shower head.
The furnishings okay-the mattress again!
Internet in the lobby for 1 €for 15 minutes-and this has been occupied by a rude blond young lady.

The staff at the pool bar sluggish and slow-the cocktails but very tasty.
The staff in the restaurant, however, was very nice, courteous and in a good mood.
The quality of local and Italian-good, but not outstanding.
At least there was always plenty of choice.
Drinks at dinner.
The restaurant itself clean and adequate.

The cleaning ladies as already mentioned, very hard but sloppy-any unused places, not changing glasses-hand towels exchange despite request at the front desk only to fixed dates (once a week).
The ladies do the dishes with a garden hose also the stairs-which unfortunately a small flooding in the room was.
Furthermore, the toilet was cleaned-but this was soaking wet.

A major drawback of the hotel were unfortunately the other guests, both here, as well as at the beach there were very many Italians, who consistently very loud and slamming doors-very relaxing warmly or sleep not possible!
Extremely inconsiderate.

The way to the beach led by a steep stone stairs-for someone to come on it, like me, but also for my slim partner, each time a true torture back up.
The stairs got the nickname stairway heart attack.

Things went through shabby and smelly backyards of restaurants (most there was egg smelly garbage drained when we arrived).

Then it is on the Promenade to the beach.
On the Promenade there are several nice small stores with fair prices (except in the case of milk) and a lot of choice.
The restaurants are nevertheless good.
Furthermore, several overpriced excursions, and diving shop.

The beach itself was relatively clean, except for one or two cigarettes (despite ashtrays) and so on.
There was a nice lady for a food and drink, also cheap.
As well as very many African and Indian traders, the partially really cheeky the whole time the beach and fake bags, watches and current movies offered!
Also very loud everyone should 'Lukmaa' and the 'Dognut' husband ☺ .
If there was, you know what I mean.

The transfer went very smooth-but I have seen such an unfriendly staff as in tessaloniki and came to the airport!

The conclusion of the hotel and the holiday itself-even if it is perhaps listening-conditionally recommendable.
Nevertheless, it is a beautiful spot with nice hotel staff (the owner made us on the day of departure at three o'clock in the morning a breakfast for us!)

Six out of ten stars
