Die Lage des Hotels und der Pool sind definitiv top. Beim Frühstück können wir die vielen überschwänglichen Bewertungen allerdings nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Es war in Ordnung, aber aus unserer Sicht nichts Außergewöhnliches.

Die Lage des Hotels und der Pool sind definitiv top. Beim Frühstück können wir die vielen überschwänglichen Bewertungen allerdings nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Es war in Ordnung, aber aus unserer Sicht nichts Außergewöhnliches.

Wir mussten rund zehn Minuten das Zimmer selbst suchen, bis wir es gefunden hatten. Die Rezeption war insgesamt leider keine große Hilfe. Wir haben dort mehrmals Fragen gestellt, bekamen aber häufig keine brauchbare Antwort oder hatten den Eindruck, dass unsere Fragen eher als störend empfunden wurden. Auch das Zimmer selbst war enttäuschend. Es war relativ laut, da sich direkt davor ein Bereich befand, in dem Wäsche gewaschen bzw. bearbeitet wurde. In der Dusche lagen sogar lose Schrauben herum, was bei einem Hotel dieser Preisklasse wirklich nicht passieren sollte. Zusätzlich hatte das Zimmer einen eigenartigen, unangenehmen Geruch.
