Pros:

El complejo es muy bonito, con acceso a la playa y cómodo.
Tuvimos un problema con una habitación y nos la cambiaron.
Tamaño de las camas

Cons:

Los cuartos de baño no tienen enchufes.
Las habitaciones que nos dieron no son las que salen en las fotos. Sería bueno que ( a quien corresponda) sea mucho más realista. Las habitaciones estaban a pie de calle separadas por un pequeño jardín.
No me gustó que la propina " la sugieren" pero aparece en el total de las facturas.
Las almohadas son muy blandas

Bueno pero con una mala ecuación calidad / precio
Pros:

La limpieza, la organización, la amplitud y la ubicación .

Cons:

La llegada a la playa es muy extensa y trabajosa, deberían de buscar para la gente mayor y discapacitados alguna forma mecánica (o combinada) sobre todo para ascender. También algún poco personal no es muy empatico a la hora de responder inquietudes. Y lo más destacado, los precios de bares y restaurantes son excesivamente altos con respecto a los mejores lugares de fuera del complejo….. es casi un chantaje.

Schönes Hotel
Pros:

Tolle Zimmer, sehr sauber, schöne Anlage. Ausreichende Parkmöglichkeiten

Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und man bekommt eine riesige Auswahl

Personal am Front Desk ist sehr schnell und überaus freundlich

Cons:

Der Service an der Bar lässt zu wünschen übrig. Das Personal ist nicht sehr freundlich und man wird oft ignoriert.

Die Pfauen in der Anlage sind schön anzusehen aber machen unvorstellbaren Lärm - auch in der Nacht.
