The hotel complex is nice, clean garden area, the staff are friendly and can also speak German, sometimes also French and English. The morning as well as the dinner buffet was very diverse and well cooked. The hotel itself would be recommendable, were it not for these loud, screaming Lookéa animation( young, partly still pubescent people) behavior this entertainment was just stupid and naive. The entire program was only in French. There were in front of the evening agenda only the French guests welcomes. As it was a family hotel is, would you expect, that also someone the entertainment to the … read more

If you don't speak French, should no animation expect. This team cared only about the French guests. Very well me to check out the offer from TUI like. Very recommendable. VIP during collection or from airport. It will eliminate the long wait to release. Very recommendable at families with children. Adults 36 euros, and children from 2 years ago 24 euros. But again warm thanks to the travel guide from 1. 2 fly. … read more
