anonym-freundliche Atmosphäre, reichhaltiges Frühstückangebot für alle Nationalitäten
Pros:

Ich hatte im Angebot eine Junior-Suite für ca. 65€ gebucht, am buchungstag die preisgünstigste Unterkunft im Haus. Ca. 60qm, 2 riesige TV etc. - alles für mich vollkommen unnötig bzw. nicht genutzt. Sehr ruhig. Durchweg angenehmes Personal - allein die Vorab-email-Kommunikation sehr schwerfällig: eine Folge-Nacht in einfachem Zimmer war im Rahmen einer Rundreise pauschal vom Veranstalter gebucht, und ich wollte keinesfalls das Zimmer wechseln, gern aber beide Nächte im einfachem Zimmer verbringen. Irgendwie schien das unmöglich. Als ich jedoch um Mitternacht eintraf, erhielt ich überraschend beide Nächte in der Junior-Suite ohne Aufpreis. Sehr reichhaltiges Frühstücksangebot

Cons:

Im Pool hätte man ganz toll lange Bahnen schwimmen können, die auf dem Boden des Beckens farblich abgesetzt waren - wäre dies nicht durch eine mittig quer verlaufende und schwerst befestigte Barriere unmöglich gemacht worden.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war einerseits super, andererseits EXTREM weiträumig verteilt, so dass ein Überblick schwer fiel. Es gab keine Tabletts, daher musste man für jede Kleinigkeit ordentlich Strecke machen.
Das ist allerdings Meckern auf hohem Niveau
