Beautiful and clean place to stay. We were tired after a very busy day and just needed to have a warm shower and a good rest. Unfortunately the noise level went up just as we were getting ready for bed, around 10pm. It sounded like guest that just arrived with children, but they were very loud, right by our room. Tried to have a warm shower in the morning, but waited about ten minutes before i gave up on the hot water. I had to settle for a cold shower.

Hotel angeblich renoviert… hier wurde in den Zimmern nur das nötigste gemacht zumindest bei unserem Familienzimmer! Klimaaggregat (des Nachbar Zimmers) direkt am Fenster dermaßen laut das das Kind nicht schlafen konnte. Räumliche Trennung Kinder/Erwachsene nicht wie angegeben mit Extra Zimmer sondern Schiebetür mitten im Raum oben komplett offen zur Decke. An der Badezimmerdecke kam der Schimmel durch. Pool war „milchig“ … Minigolfanlage halb verrottet… Kinderspielplatz ein Witz! (Sandfläche mit 2 Schaukeln aus alten Autoreifen) Restaurant sehr schön und Essen wirklich gut sowohl Frühstück als auch Abends sehr gut! Personal sehr freundlich die Lage Super! Strand 5 Min, Supermarkt 3 Min, Tolle Restaurants 1 Min.
