Pros:

Szép helyen van a szálloda, kedves a személyzet, tisztaság volt.

Cons:

Bár bőséges volt a választék reggeli és vacsora alatt, de fő szezonban csak annak ajánlom, aki szereti az "éhezők viadalát". Mivel rengeteg szobával rendelkezik a szállás, így rengetegen mennek egyszerre enni - főleg vacsoraidőben.
Sajnos a tengerre néző szoba, valóban csak arra nézett - ezért nem volt szép dolog felárat kérni. Második emelet... (279)

Toller Urlaub, Schönes Hotel, perfekt für Kinder und Familien
Pros:

Das Hotel war super, alles sauber, sehr clean, gute Auststattung!

Cons:

Die Außenanlage am Pool könnte öfter gerreinigt werden, zumindest an den Stellen wo es immer nass ist oder viel Sand vom Meerstrand liegt.

Der Ansturm beim Essen ist Katastrophal, man könnte es besser aufteilen. Familien mit Kindern 0-5 ab 19:30. Und alle anderen etwas später einteilen.
