Lovely place in the forest on the seashore
Pros:

Our stay was two weeks. The hotel have wonderful location in the forest, near the beach. We travel with our dogs and were very happy to walk around every day.
*The ladies in the reception were very nice and helpful* (we are sorry to say, but except one person). The day of our arrival everything was explained to us and we felt welcome.
We appreciated the healthy breakfasts without sweets, with yogurt and fruits. Loose tea Sofia was delicious.
The room was tastefully decorated with quality materials. Everything is well-thought-out and comfortable. We appreciated the lack of a TV set.
Very interesting workshops and lectures are organized on site. We appreciated the beautiful chapel.
We travel a lot and this would have been a definitely 10 out of 10 stay for us if it weren't for an incident on the 9th day of our stay.

Cons:

The only thing we missed in our room was a metal kettle instead of a plastic one (for health reasons).
It would be convenient to be able to charge the electric car in the evenings, as we usually went sightseeing during reception hours.
21st of July afternoon we were sitting with two our guests in the hotel lobby when lady from the reception came and said to us: “You are not allowed to be here". We froze from surprise. "I’am closing. You can go to your room”. I must emphasize that these were the exact sentences used. We have no demands to be treated with special attention, but not as kids in a boarding school. I might add that we are people in our 50s not teens (not that we think that younger guests of the hotel could be addressed like that).
The same lady reproached us for not giving back the ironing board we used and it turned out that she had not checked (!) was it given back to the utility room before. We were treated by this person as intruders who were interfering with the smooth operation of the hotel. If we had met this lady on the first day of our arrival, we are sure we would have stayed only one night and changed hotels. Nothing nice about feeling unwelcome.

Für einen Kurztripp gerade noch ausreichend.
Pros:

Ruhige Lage auf einer Halbinsel im Wald. Freundliches Personal. Großes Zimmer. Kostenlose Parkplätze. Ideal für Gäste, die ihre Ruhe haben wollen.

Cons:

Badezimmer aus den 70ern Jahren. Der Schlafraum war auch sehr schlicht eingerichtet. Alles sehr altbacken. Das Frühstück war sehr einfach. Ähnlich wie in den USA. Keinerlei Infrastruktur in der Nähe, damit muss man klarkommen. Steckdosen über dem Kopfteil vom Bett (!). Sehr weiche Matratzen.

Es war sehr erholsam und wir konnten auf der Halbinsel und auf dem Festland schön spazieren gehen.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut. Das Zimmer hatte einen Balkon und wir hatten einen schönen Blick auf das Wasser mit Inseln und einigen Bäumen davor, sehr romantisch. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig. Am Vormittag/Mittag ist man mit dem Bus, der genau vor dem Hauptgebäude hält, sehr gut angebunden.

Cons:

Der Bus fährt nicht immer, so dass wir sicherheitshalber ein Taxi vom Flughafen genommen haben. Vielleicht könnte man auch von der U-Bahnstation in der Nähe ein Taxi bestellen.
