Mega schönes Hotel im großen und ganzen, ohne Kinder noch schöner, naja also es ist halt kein komplettes Spahotel. Ach was noch nett gewesen wäre bei der Bestätigungsmail für die Buchung darauf hin gewiesen zu werden das man beim Abendessen eine lange Hose anziehen muss. Im großen und ganzen sehr schön lohnt sich also.

ein schönes Hotel mit einem sagenhaften Spa- Bereich. Wer entspannen und sich kulinarisch verwöhnen lassen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Wir sind mit Hund angereist und haben um ein Zimmer mit Terrassenzugang gebeten....unserem Wunsch wurde entsprochen. Mit vielen netten Kleinigkeiten werden Mensch und Tier bedacht. Es gibt gar nichts, was ich bemängeln müsste. Es war ein rundum schöner Urlaub.

Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr gut (Qualität, Vielfalt, Geschmack). Der Service war überall aufmerksam und freundlich. Sauberkeit und Hygienemassnahmen waren der aktuellen Situation angemessen. Der neue Pool- und Saunabereich ist sehr schön, modern und großzügig. Ausreichend Liegen vorhanden, selbst wenn das Hotel ausgebucht wäre. Der Infifnitypool ist ein Highlight. Aber: der alte und neue Saunabereich sind nicht verbunden und befinden sich auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen. Zum Wechseln des Bereichs benötigt man die Zimmerkarte, da mehrere gesicherte Türen durchquert werden müssen. Die Blockhaussauna war während unseres Aufenthalts immer noch nicht fertig. Größtes Manko und für echte Saunafans ein NoGo: der wunderschöne neue Saunabereich '5-Elemente' (Panoramasauna, Feuersauna und das Dampfbad) sind Textilsaunen!!!! Dies hat zur Folge, dass hier z. T. ein unkundiges Publikum verkehrt, z.B. betreten der Saunakabinen mit Badeschlappen, dauernde störende Unterhaltungen. Der alte Saunabereich 'Asia Spa' mit Finnensauna, Salzsteinzimmer, Dampfbad und Kräutersauna ist textilfrei, jedoch etwas beengt, ohne Fenster und Frischluftmöglichkeit und mit nur einem kleinen Ruheraum. Für Frischluft nach dem Saunagang muss man textil durch den Poolbereich nach draussen. Fazit: Obwohl der Sonnenhof in vieler Hinsicht unsere Erwartungen komplett erfüllt hat, werden wir nicht noch einmal hinfahren, solange der neue Saunabereich '5-Elemente' nur textil nutzbar ist. Sehr, sehr schade! :-(

Wir waren das erste mal dort und es war sicherlich nicht das letzte mal. Mein Mann ist sehr anspruchsvoll, aber selbst ihm hat es gut gefallen. Wir können es mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Alle unsere Wünsche wurden erfüllt, Service, Essen usw. Einfach traumhaft, konnte richtig abschalten.

Sehr schönes Hotel in toller Umgebung. Die Aufteilung auf mehrere Häuser ist etwas unbequem, aber wenigstens gibt es geschlossene Verbindungsgänge. Der Wellness-Bereich ist schön, ist aber bei hoher Auslastung zu klein.

Gepflegtes Hotel in schöner Lage

Wir waren nach 4 Jahren das 2. Mal im Premier Hotel Sonnenhof, und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das Personal nach wie vor sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Essen einfach super lecker und auch die Anlage an sich immer noch in sehr gutem Zustand. Das Hotel eignet sich perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen bspw. zum großen Osser. Am Abend nach einer großen Wanderung kann man sich dann in der sehr schönen Saunalandschaft entspannen.
