We had a relaxing vacation thanks to the peaceful location and the good weather. We enjoyed the nearby riff in the bay. General was the complex very nice. However in our experience the food not at all pleased. The choice of food in the main restaurant was very limited, not too warm and very poor in variety! By the pool there was no snack bar as advertised. The beach bar also offered no choice. Every day here there were dry pizza and a meat dish, unfortuna …  read more

The staff is overall very friendly and accommodating. Some speak really good german, not you'll get further with english. Housekeeping was okay, additional services we didn't use.There was a main restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, in which it is very noisy and also nothing special is nice. There is unfortunately only one mini terrace to eat outside for about 20 people. At the beach there is a small restaurant with snacks and drinks. The food is not the blast, but you always find something. There is one time per week egyptian buffet, otherwise only european food. The hygiene is … read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Many speak german. Rooms are serviced daily.The restaurant reminded rather of a a mensa and the quality the food leaves much to be desired. Salt and pepper is a strange word, as well as fresh herbs missing. If you like soup is, should definitely be maggi carry forward. The kitchen style i would typically for tourists to classify. Thank goodness there was a pasta station and so was definitely the stomach satisfied.The rooms are as well with bad weather good.

Additional services we didn't use.Now to the gastronomy. This is often again by some people. There was at every meal fresh fruits. For lunch and dinner, a salad buffet. In our opinion the choice was huge. Further with a antipastitheke. Also here there was a great deal of good looking tasty dishes. Then there were always 2 soups to choose from, diet food.
