All inclusive hotel in best beach area. Renovation is not yet in all parts completed. It comes to no noise disturbance up through construction. Small examples are the renovated part, impact but not the guests. The disaster is the management. We were with six other guests because overbooking and in a 'dump' called taprospa in beruwala for 2 nights. During the stay we met other guests know, which it was. Probably also because of the aggressive advertising o …  read more

The hotel staff is very friendly, helpful and discreet. For complaints were immediately taken care of and one asks regularly, whether everything was fine. All of the staff speak good english. The hotel is cleaned regularly, so you feel very well can. Also the cleaning of the rooms is very good, but it is not the german cleanliness ☺.A very nice, clean and quiet hotel in a great location and directly at the beach with brilliant food. The hotel has approximately 100 rooms. It is very quiet in the hotel, so that relaxation is guaranteed! The furnishing and the equipment … read more

Hotel was a week before our arrival 'officially' newly opened. Conclusion: Room/area: Important! Only superior room, otherwise it is not recommendable! (the surcharge was definitely worth it), see also pictures. The hotel is (at the moment) in the very good to good condition. But unfortunately are already the first problems ersichtilich (please see pictures' bathroom') Gym: 2 times treadmills (good condition) and 2 times devices (dated); no free weights Service/complaint: Wake up call: an hour early! Lunch packages totally forget! (although several times before confirmed) Beach chairs were reserved (the pool-boy bestohen )! Each for a small service money see (only inoffiziellin ). … read more

The three weeks in this really great house were very relaxing. The staff has us each desire was met, before we himself suspected. The beach is right in front of the door is wonderful. You can go to the two pools the hotel wonderfully relaxing. The line behind the house you hardly noticed, the pertinent station makes but great autonomous desk for the klaineren purse. For handicapped people the hotel is unfortunately not suitable, as the entrance only over stairs, partially in the outdoor area without railings is. But there is always equal to the useful arm of staff on hand. Great … read more
