The trouble for to this hotel is not reasonable (three hour drive from airport). A completely special charm is the hotel because of the high number of Russian tourists (in the dining room) Service in this five star hotel is a foreign word. It is missing definitely at enough staff and above all, someone, a view and the staff divides there is nothing, so it is worth this region again bereisen. Anna and Michael …  read more

This is a very friendly hotel and the staff are lovely, at our welcome meeting the rep arranged for heads of dept. to welcome us from the Head Chef down to the Golf Manager and Diving Centre, I have never known that before, and the bottom line was if you wanted something then please just ask. Our room was cleaned everyday and could not be faulted.The food was plentiful for all meals most nights there was a themed evening, and if you wished you could book a ala carte restaurant at an extra charge, you could also if you wished had … read more

Nothing was too much trouble. Having been hassled a bit in Sharm, was expecting the same here, but not the case. Always welcomed into the dining room by a friendly smile and a joke. Most staff speak excellent English as well as several other languages (putting us to shame). Room was cleaned to a high standard each day 3 Restaurants - went to all 3. Indoor restaurant was the main one for all inclusive . Huge selection of breakfasts and for lunch always several cooked options as well as really well stocked salad bars. … read more

The staff is very friendly. Surely one is sometimes annoying, if you a drink times 15 minutes to wait, or you get something completely different. Sometimes, the staffing level a bit thin, even if new vacationers and the other not yet left. But probably the management responsible. Surely a tip works, but you should also even concerns, that our service in the restaurant before sunrise with his job begins and at 22:30 o'clock still no work has - during the 2 weeks we have permanently with the same staff to do - the waiter was shortly before check out in … read more

By far the worst gastronomic an alleged 5 star hotels, service staff partly put despite tips lazy and overstrained (management should get at other hotel chains like for instance Iberostar or bahia principe look elsewhere, you would learn something). Theme nights especially 'orientalisch' for a west european unacceptable. What you here than meat means (in particular the so-called filet Wellington) is dead and totally verwürzt. In the snack-bar there was lack of space as at the time of the former gdr. The food is cold, but are the beverages warm. The staff errs unmethodically around, the few tables were not cleared. … read more
