Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Generally reported as clean (multiple comments 'really clean', 'sauberkeit' praise) but isolated issues cited: bathroom cleaning/replenishment problems and a questionable spa/pool water report, lowering the score slightly.
Service
9.8
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly, polite and helpful across many reviews (mentions of attentive/front desk staff and excellent service), supporting a high score.
Location
9.9
Consistently praised as an excellent location — beachfront, minutes to the marina and old town, very easy beach access — making location a standout strength.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms range from very good (junior suite, comfortable beds, spacious, good wardrobe space) to some issues (tired rooms, limited hanging space, missing hairdryer, pillow complaints), overall slightly above average.
Amenities
8.8
Pool, gym and parking receive positive mentions; however missing free pool towels and a reported spa pool water concern reduce the score modestly.
Value for Money
7.6
Multiple complaints about high room rates (examples: >350€/night, price jump ~20%), limited in-room drinks, and buffet availability reduce perceived value significantly.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast is frequently praised as abundant and good, but some reports note reduced freshness and limited evening buffet nights which temper the rating.
Overall Experience
9.2
Many guests describe stays as 'excellent', 'fabulous', 'amazing' and 'perfect to relax', with occasional service/amenity caveats; overall experience remains very positive.
