Sehr reichhaltiges Frühstücksbequem

Betten unendlich hart. Sehr unbequem (ich mag sonst harte Betten, aber sie haben sich wie Steine angefühlt)

Baignade savoureuse mais moustiques voraces la nuit.
Pros:

Son jardin et sa piscine bien entretenus

Cons:

La climatisation fatiguée qui fait un bruit terrible. En ouvrant pour aérer et rafraîchir la chambre, nous avons ouvert la place aux moustiques particulièrement voraces. Mal dormi en raison des piqûres d’insectes.
La cuisine du restaurant n’est pas extra. Pas à la hauteur du standing de l’établissement.

Tranquilo e Reconfortante
Pros:

Estivemos 7 noites alojados, e foram 7 noites muito boas. A limpeza sempre impecável, era feita diariamente e muito bem feita. A simpatia de todos os funcionários. A piscina muito bem limpa e com boas condições. O pequeno almoço bastante variado. As refeições do hotel também aconselho, e os snacks que servem para a piscina também são muito bons. A relação preço /qualidade é muito boa. O hotel está muito bem localizado, numa zona tranquila. O hotel tem sempre um segurança 24h o que nos deixou bastante seguros durante toda a estadia.

Cons:

O único ponto menos bom, é que ficamos nos quartos mesmo por cima da cozinha e sentíamos constantemente o cheiro da cozinha o que impedia que pudéssemos ter as janelas sempre abertas para sentir o ar fresco. Talvez fosse recomendável melhorar o sistema de exaustão dos fumos da cozinha. De resto o hotel correspondeu muito às nossas expectativas. É verdade que o Wi-Fi só funciona na receção mas para quem vai de férias até é bom fazer uma desconexão.

Es un complejo enorme con unas instalaciones exteriores muy bonitas. Pero está un poco abandonado. Parecíamos las únicas huéspedes del hotel.

Estaba un poco abandonado. El desayuno estaba todo tapado por la poca gente que había alojada.
