Boring would not recommend it. Not even any music on around the hotel and the bar lounge felt like an airport lounge
Pros:

The property was beautiful

Cons:

Only had the one bar, felt like a conference centre
Nothing outside of the property to walk to, and zero entertainment on in the hotel

Für vier Nächte war es okay, die hohen Extrakosten für den Innenpool sind ein dicker Minuspunkt
Pros:

Die Nähe zum Strand
Tiefgarage
Abstellraum mit Lade- und Reparaturmöglichkeit für die E-Bikes
Große Zimmer
Balkon mit Meer- und Bergblick
Freundliches hilfsbereites Personal

Cons:

Extrakosten für den Innenpool (20€ pro Personen und Stunde, fast schon unverschämt).
Der Kühlschrank war defekt, es gab widersprüchliche Angaben zur Ursache, keine Reparatur erfolgt.
Kleine Ameisen im Waschbecken.
Keine WC-Bürste.
Ausstattung in die Jahre gekommen.
Laute und hallige Akustik im Speisesaal.
Preis/Leistung bzgl Qualität der Speisen stimmt nicht, Abendbüfett zu teuer.

Pros:

Die Lage war direkt am Strand.
Die Zimmer wunderschön und geräumig.

Cons:

Die Anreise war nach 17 Uhr, die Poollandschaft hatte schon geschlossen, da es geregnet hat
Wir konnten nur mehr im Meer baden.
Das a la carte Essen war gut, hat aber sehr lange gedauert bis wir bedient wurden.

An incredible place to enjoy some mum daughter time relaxing
Pros:

An absolutely fabulous hotel with the most amazing, hardworking and accommodating staff that you could possibly wish for in making your stay the best experience.
This did not go unnoticed in how hard all the staff worked to make this happen. I am so appreciative and grateful for this.
Our room was unbelievable, comfy beds, immaculate in cleanliness courtesy of Isa who made it so.
The lovely girl at the pool bar who looked after us throught the day (apologies I didn’t get her name) through to the lovely guys behind the bar (again apologies for not getting their names) in the lobby bar who were more than accommodating with the measures!
We took full advantage of the spa, restaurants, room service etc and nothing disappointed.
What a fabulous place and I will be returning at the earliest opportunity.
