Wow wow wow 😍😍😍
Pros:

Alles, alles.... Nicht schlecht gestaunt. Beheizter Pool auf dem Dach. Mit Lounge, nach dem Schwimmer, ganz easy in die Dusche auf der gleichen Etage, Das WC hatte somit gleich eine Dusche u. der Weg zum Zimmer könnte ich mir somit sparen. Handtücher vom Hotel für den Pool standen zur Verfügung. Zimmer, ein Traum
Das Licht, Bett, 2 Kissen eins weich , eines hart. Fitnessraum, Laundryroom - sauber, gut riechend.
Frühstück, Auswahl von Rührei, bis Bacon, Bohnen, gedünstete Tomaten, Früchte Joghurt selbst gemachte alles was man sich vorstellen kann, Kaffe mit frischen Bohnen.
Luxus pur. Und der Preis war echt ein Schnäppchen. Hatten einige Unterkünfte und Hotels, die so heruntergekommen waren, viel teurer..da ist DAS hier ein Schlafraffenland 👍🤗🤗🤗

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden.
