Od nas imate sve dalje preporuke za odmor kod Vas
Pros:

Doručak je bio odličan, nemam apsolutno ni jednu zamerku, bilo je teško izabrati, s obzirom da je velika količina hrane u pitanju

Cons:

Soba bi mogla da bude čistija, s obzirom da dolazi dosta ljudi sa malom decom, kao što smo i mi bili.

War OK
Pros:

Ich bin das dritte Mal im selben Hotel.
Mir gefällt das Kinderprogramm sowie der Sandstrand und dass Essen. Angebot sowie Preisleistung haben gestimmt.

Cons:

Dieses Mal war das Bett kaputt sowie der Boden war bei der Ankunft bis zur Abreise schmutzig, weiters hatten wir kein Warmwasser beim Waschbecken nur Kaltwasser. Dieses Mal hat die Preisleistung nicht gepasst.
