People were always very friendly and ready to help. The food was perfect. Very much vegetables, Fruits and fresh roasted meat...
Rooms (had a superior room ) was very big, also the bathroom was large and modern.
At the beach it was only small Schwimmbuchten. The rest of the sea by boats busy.

Constantly loud until very loud disco music both at the beach, as well as by the pool from 10 o'clock, the bungalow to the beach way too far. Unfortunately no beach bar available. Beach chairs are close to each other (Rimini). By the pool the beach chairs are screwed, which means a move in the shade is unfortunately not possible. If you wanted a place in the shade, its chair already in the morning reserve Read more

... IFA -a mass production, by the weekly Hordes of tourists are passed through a lock. The whole complex is a hose of 200 times 700 meters, with only the narrow side at the beach is. When we were there, was also still a betonpromenade through the middle of the beautiful beach built, for it actually even after cathedral. Provisions(40 meters the beach) no planning consent may be. Excursions cost the bank $100 (probably Ortsstandard), and everything is touristic cannibalized and organized: Wristband here, now partying since, Animani there. ... Read more

... and a wide selection of drinks. You could also in different theme restaurants Eat, but before always with registration, as limited number of places.
the rooms were in bungalow simple but OK. The cleaning the room was OK. In the reviewer annoyed has, was the reservation of the pool chairs with towels by the pool and beach. In the morning at 8:00 A. M. were already all the beach chairs were taken reserved, so early get up, if you want to get a chair. The 3 pool areas were okay, too, as well as the beach. All together it was okay in IFA villas. Read more
