All together we had a beautiful family vacation. The hotel made a modern impression and the staff were very child-friendly. Complaints and wishes were implemented immediately. The only thing which didn't like, was the complete food in the hotel. Here got several hotel guests included we after short time health complaints (Nausea and diarrhea). Luckily there were nearby also just a pharmacy. There were the circumstances probably well-known. The teeth we had at any time with tap water cleaned. The beach was very nice and clean. It drove several times a day directly buses free of charge from the hotel to the beach and back. ( Duration about … read more

This hotel we would definitely book it again. Our room and also the hotel itself were always clean and there was no construction defects. Also the service was always helpful and friendly. The hotel food was now definitely not our case, since a lot quite bland tasted. The breakfast was perfect, as it is the largest selection and most of the food tasted. Only lunch and the dinner took some getting used to. The way from the hotel to the beach over a needy of renovation stairs, but that wasn't a problem. The way were it around 600 meters. The beach was … read more

Staff are friendly, the foreign language skills are quite poor and the cleaning of the rooms is ok. Whilst dealing with our complaints we totally unsatisfied! On the day of our arrival we an apartment on the 4th floor and we had the head move in, around the bathroom to use. The door height was at about 175 centimeter and this is simply ridiculous. We were after our complaint two ausweichhotels offered and should for this however again deep in the wallet. Our early booker- Discount would then lapses defendendo. We have rejected this and saw two days later a floor higher drag. … read more

The staff were friendly, a few could speak German, but with English one comes also far. The bed linen was twice in one week changed. It is very young staff. I was once the plates were taken, although I not finished yet was-that was fast!The selection was for a three-star hotel good. The food wasn't 'hot', but that was due to the retention, since there was no lid to the closure of the containers were. There were always 5 put on different salads - but the repeated already times. There was always pasta, mashed potatoes or polenta. I eat gladly … read more
