Djeca (5 i 10 godina) su se odlično zabavila! To mi je i bio cilj.
Pros:

Odlična lokacija! Bazeni za djecu predivni.

Cons:

Nismo dobili ručnik za bazen jer ga nije bilo. Soba nas je sa vratima (sobna obična vrata)iza kreveta dijelila od druge sobe a u toj sobi je bilo dijete koje se jako rano(5 sati ujutro)diže i plače..čulo se kao da stoji ispred mene.

Ovo nije mjesto gdje bih se poželjeli vratiti.
Pros:

Hotel nudi dosta sadržaja .

Cons:

Na bazen se nije moglo pristupiti cijeli dan, ležaljke prazne ,prekrivene rucnicima cijeli dan stoje prazne, smatram da ovo nije u redu. Vrijednost za novac daleko od očekivanog.

Preis Leistung passt in diesem Hotel gut. Kommen gerne wieder.
Pros:

beim Essen gibt es eine große Auswahl. Für jeden etwas dabei. Das Zimmer war sehr groß, genauso das Bad.

Cons:

Im Speisesaal ist es sehr laut, durch die vielen Gäste die Platz haben. Aber mit dem muss man in einem Familienhotel rechnen.

Pros:

Мы остались очень довольны отдыхом! Программа была насыщенной и интересной для детей — скучать точно не приходилось. На территории всё чисто, ухоженно, уютно, чувствуется забота о гостях. Особенно понравилось, что атмосфера в отеле очень доброжелательная и комфортная.

Cons:

Единственный небольшой минус — это старый фен в номере. Волосы сушились очень долго. Но в целом все отлично
