Pros:

L’emplacement,la vue , le parc , la nourriture. Gilberto a l’accueil
Les jeux à disposition des enfants

Cons:

Le personnel du restaurant ( soir et petit déjeuner ) , 2 filles pas aimables contrairement à Gilberto de l’accueil.
Le manque d’eau chaude , nous sommes rentrés à 21h après un night tour , plus d’eau chaude. Le lendemain matin à 7h non plus ( pour un 4 étoiles c’est moyen )

Cons:

Llegamos cansados y empapados y se empeñaron en darnos la charla de bienvenida antes de dejarnos ir a secarnos a la habitación y además no había sitio en el restaurante para cenar pq y estaba todo reservado.Mal organizado el tema del tour nocturno con los horarios de cena en el restaurante. Para el día siguiente tampoco se podía cenar pq no llegabas a tiempo del tour nocturno o debías acortarlo.... No pudimos ver el recorrido del hotel que te proponen y por lo que lo habíamos seleccionado pq cuanto llegamos de la excursión de las tirolinas a las 4,30 cierran el acceso a todo el hotel excepto la recepción o el restaurante... En fin un hotel completamente desaprovechado no lo volvería a escoger.

Muy recomendable
Pros:

La terraza tenia una vistas preciosa. Fantástico el desayuno, con huevos de sus propias gallinas. El personal muy amable. Genial la excursión nocturna guiada por los senderos del hotel que poco antes del anochecer están llenos de animales.

Schöner Ort mit bestem Ausblick
Pros:

Die Lage und der Ausblick waren grandios. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, die Auswahl überschaubar aber ausreichend. Es wurde alles immer wieder aufgefüllt. Unser Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber.

Cons:

Es war sehr hellhörig. Wir waren nahe dem Restaurant, was aber nicht störend war. Aber über uns war es abends recht lange und morgens auch wieder sehr früh schon extrem laut. Man hörte jeden Schritt und jede Tür…
Das wlan ist gar nicht gut.
