Einziges Manko, der Kindersitz hatte keine Riemen, um das Kind fest zu binden.
Ansonsten sehr sauber, tolle Lage und super Service.

Everything was great. The staff are very friendly and housekeeping was great as well. The restaurant food was great as well as the included breakfast. My only complaint is that the pool area was under renovations. I wish that would have been advised at the time of booking. But, it needed to be done and in a few weeks the pool area will be completly remodled for the summr guests.

The staff are very pleasant but not managed well. I stayed in two rooms due to problems with Wifi and A/C. Housekeeping is inconsistent - either lacking a checklist for each room changeover or the team leader is not checking. Reception says they will do something then forgets; remind them bt they don't call back. I then discovered that the team does not keep a logbook - a basic of hotel front desk management. The phone number of hotel sent with reservation is no longer their phone management did not update the listing. The phone on Google no one picked up during nine calls I made form 8 pm to 10 pm. So many maintenance issues I can't list them here. One example -cracked tiles, big ones, around the swimming pool - a hazard to guest's toes but again shows no management leadership. In its day it was a four start but has sunk to a three star product.
