The furniture in the room were partly damaged and very old, the air conditioning more than adventurous. All together however okay if you consider, that one actually only for sleeping there. Since we did the next problem. If you in the building 7 be accommodated, means the 15 meters of air line for hotel's own disco in the 23:00 until 02:00 o'clock very loud mostly spanish music. Thanks to ear plugs with falling asleep but nevertheless folded ☺ the hotel complex itself is very spacious and very clean. Constantly somewhere swept, wiped or tidy. All of the staff are very … read more

Ageing. Rooms worn it was in need of renovation. Restaurant and food sometimes Unacceptable. Morning coffee if cups available, cups yes! Coffee? Service afloat also With tips not always to mutivieren. Drinks at the bars in minigläsern, if i then finally get von_ einer_ service. Beach okay. Chairs are available, but to 90% broken. The yellow flag was blowing every day, the rettungsturm Was in 2 weeks only half a day manned! Hotel for people who only in to pass eating and drinking! A hotel to cure. We not again! The 3. time in the dom. Repair a frost! … read more

In comparison to 2010 clear deterioration in the food, ambience, friendliness. No renovation done in the rooms. Everything somewhat plain and dingy. Exception: top-room cleaning thanks Johanna. Beach always still grea. Animation strongly deterioated. Cleanliness in the main restaurant and beach with clear drawbacks. To us the hotel has at least one star lost to 2010. That was for us the last time Bi live grand marien … read more

The hotel is outdated the facilities, furniture, television bathroom was a bit old. Cleanliness in the room but okay. To eat you need no word since it almost Tasteless and every 3. day repeated itself. Cleanliness at the bars pool and snack bar bad (tables). The beach is as far as clean, only many couches defectively and at 7:00 o'clock occupied also by the pool. Friendliness is not always capitalized. The hotel i would not recommend. … read more

Of al we evening in the hotel arrived and our room visited, we were not particularly impressed. This was less at the facilities or drawbacks, however rather because, that before the house block a loud ventilation had. Thus we could the night hardly sleep. The next day we went to the front desk and described our request. The chef understands very good german and the other staff can sometimes german. They offered us 2 different rooms to, which we on the next day visit could. The next day we moved in another room and from now on we also had … read more
