Very disappointing experience!

My family and I stayed for three nights and had a disappointing experience. The most important issue was that the A/C was not working properly. We visited in July so the temperature outside exceeded 30 degrees Celcius. Therefore, it was very concerning for us to find out that the temperature in our room was 28 degrees Celcius when we went to sleep. Moreover, I woke up in the middle of the night because the A/C was so noisy that I thought there was a thunderstorm outside. Next morning I contacted the reception and they said that they would reduce the temperature and that the room would be cooler when we returned from the pool in the afternoon. That was, however, not the case. I was in the contact with the reception on several occasions that afternoon/evening and in the end, at 23:15, they offered us to switch rooms. At that time our kids were sleeping so we agreed to switch the following day (our final night). We were told that we got the coolest suite in the hotel but at night the temperature in the sleeping room was 26 degrees Celcius and very humid - so we had another hot night. When I stay at a so-called high-end 4-star resort then the A/C MUST work flawlessly and the 10% price reduction we received cannot make up for the disappointment. In addition to the A/C issues we had all sorts of other bad experiences such as a dirty pool and the fact that we were refused access to the aqua park facilities even though that was emphasized as free in the hotel description.

Camere con un po di polvere e problemi con la doccia che perdeva acqua (c'è la siamo trovata fino al letto), per il resto tutto ok. Forse avrei fatto un impianto per riscaldare l'acqua della piscina dei bambini che era ghiacciata , così da sfruttarla anche a settembre

Oberflächig sauberes Zimmer, Betten musste man mit Laken jedes Mal selbst beziehen. Weitestgehend saubere Anlage, viele Toiletten sind in Teilen beschädigt, etwas fehlt oder man kann sie nicht von Innen absperren. Pools und Freizeitaktivitäten für Kinder sehr gut. Ab 08:00 Uhr in der Früh nirgends mehr eine Liege frei, wird von allen Gästen vor dem Frühstück reserviert, teils um 06:00 Uhr schon, Hotel lässt das zu, mehr Gäste im Hotel als Liegen zur Verfügung stehen. Im August ein furchtbares Gewusel im Restaurant, Entapannung ist da nicht mehr gegeben, empfand es als Stress pur. Klima ok, aber konnte nicht eingestellt werden, z.B. kühler. Angeforderter Techniker kam nicht ider hatte es nicht behoben. Personal freundlich, schöne Pools, viele Aktivitätsmöglichkeiten für Kinder.

Wir hatten ein Basic‑Zimmer mit Gartenblick: für zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder völlig ausreichend, groß genug und täglich sauber gereinigt. Lediglich an den letzten zwei Tagen wurden Handtücher nicht mehr gewechselt und Duschgel nicht aufgefüllt – hier wäre mehr Konstanz wünschenswert. Das Restaurant bietet eine vielfältige Auswahl für Erwachsene und Kinder; praktisch, dass Kinder die Getränke selbst holen konnten. Kostenlose Abendgetränke sind ein Plus. Ein kleiner Minuspunkt: Beim Buffet hatten wir manchmal das Gefühl, dass Speisen nicht schnell genug nachgefüllt wurden. Die Poolliegen sind sauber, die Anlage bietet für alle Altersgruppen etwas. Das Resort ist sehr weitläufig – der Weg zum Kids Club kann anstrengend sein. Dafür ist das Animationsprogramm sehr gut und abwechslungsreich. Der Zugang zum Meer ist jederzeit möglich. Vor dem Hotel liegt ein Sandstrand; links und rechts davon Kiesbereiche, die sich super zum Schnorcheln eignen – wir haben viele Fische gesehen. Insgesamt ein familienfreundliches Resort mit guter Infrastruktur und schöner Lage. Für den Preis eine klare Empfehlung

Anbefales på ingen måte

Hotellet er markedsført som firestjerners hotell med utendørs og innendørs svømmebasseng, treningsrom og air condition. Realiteten er dessverre noe annet og hotellet hadde hatt godt av en oppussing. For det første så er air condition-anlegget sentralstyrt, så du må ta til takke med den temperaturen hotellet bestemmer for alle rommene. I vært tilfelle var det 25 grader på rommet de første nettene også kom det seg ned til 24 grader de siste nettene. Hotellet ville ikke gjøre noe med dette. Treningsrommet var altfor varmt og mye av utstyret virket ikke slik det skulle. Vektbelastning kunne for eksempel ikke justeres siden det var boltet fast. Innenførsbassenget hadde de valgt å stenge siden få brukte det. Kjøleskapet på rommet virket ikke, og de mente vi ikke trengte det siden vi også hadde booket et annet rom til barna der det fungerte. Rommet var generelt veldig slitent. Maten på hotellet var bra for barna, men det var ikke noe vi voksne så frem til. Du kunne heller ikke ta med deg noe (vann/frukt etc.) til rommet. Vannet i utebassenget var så kaldt at man knapt kunne bade der, selv om det var over 30 grader ute. I havet like ved var det mye varmere, så hvordan de fikk til dette vet jeg ikke. Hotellet anbefales på ingen måte og jeg forventer en mye høyere standard når en betaler nesten 6000 kroner per natt (for to små rom).
