Toll! Wir kommen wieder!
Pros:

Man kommt rein und wird nur von freundlichen Menschen begrüßt. Der Service ist unglaublich gut, alle sind unglaublich zuvorkommend. Das Hotel ist reizend, ein altes aber sehr gut erhaltenes Hotel mit allen Annehmlichkeiten die man sich bei 5 Sternen wünscht. Wir haben zwei tolle Zimmer mit Meerblick erhalten.
Zusätzlich dazu ist es ein hundefreundliches Hotel. Hier wurde unser Hund mit offenen Armen empfangen und wurde so liebevoll umsorgt. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Cons:

L’accesso alla spa è consentito anche a esterni, dunque sovraffollata. Dovrebbe essere uno spazio all’insegna della tranquillità e del relax, invece gli ospiti sono troppo rumorosi e le voci rimbombano nell’ambiente.
Lo staff che ci occupa della zona spa non troppo attento, l’acqua sui pavimenti intorno alla piscina dovrebbe sssere raccolta prontamente, invece risiede fino a diventare sporca col passaggio degli ospiti.
Non ci sono ceste dove raccogliere i teli usati/bagnati e dunque si accumulano sulle poche sdraio presenti facendole apparire occupate!

Pros:

Uno degli hotel migliori

Cons:

Se fosse possibile per i clienti affezionati riservare almeno delle tariffe un po' più accessibile prenotando prima anche non proprio in bassissima stagione
