Wochenaufenthalt Ferien und Arbeit
Pros:

Tolle Lage, durch den Park und Tor, dann noch 25 m. Das Zimmer Meerseitig, tolle Aussicht auf den Park, Pool und das Meer. Grosses Frühstückbuffet, Bar mit genügend Sitzgelegenheiten.
Innenpool, Sauna und Dampfbad zur freien Benutzung. Grösse soweit gut. Den Knopf drücken bevor man rein gehen will, dann laufen die Anlagen hoch.
Parkplätze gut, im Sommer dürfte es evtl. eher knapp werden.

Cons:

Die meisten Besucher kennen und lesen die Sauna- Regeln nicht. Ungeduscht in den Pool, dann direkt in die Sauna oder Dampfbad. Sauna ohne Tuch.
