Perfect
Pros:

Everything was excellent - view from room was stunning and pools were lovely. we used the older pool to the side of the hotel and had the pool and terrace to ourselves.

Cons:

A car would have been a bonus but we were given the number of the local taxi driver who went above and beyond to make sure he was always there to take us wherever we wanted to go. He even recommended restaurants for us.

Piękny weekend nad jeziorem
Pros:

Piękne położenie nas samym jeziorem, dwa baseny - jeden tylko dla dorosłych a drugi dla rodzin z dziećmi. Jacuzzi, wypożyczalnia rowerów. Restauracja serwująca wykwintne dania i pyszne śniadania. Bardzo miła i uczynna obsługa. Komfortowe pokoje urządzone ze smakiem.

Cons:

Ceny dość wysokie, ale standard je usprawiedliwiał. Jakość musi kosztować 😉

Great hotel with two pools and good ambience, but it is still possible to do better.
Pros:

Great location by the lake. Great pool for adults. Be aware it is only for people over 16. There is a kids pool to the side of the hotel. Nice bar and lounge area with music. Beautiful restaurant with a good selection of wines. They also have a couple of EV-chargers to rent.

Cons:

We ate only a dessert at the restaurant: The chocolate mousse was not good. The Tiramisu was terrible. Even though these were premade, they should do way better.
Parking of the car is not included in the price, and it should be.

A lovely stay in a hotel with a fabulous view.
Pros:

View to the lake, bar and breakfast room was fantastic

Cons:

We had problems with the TV in the room, and had some lost property. Sadly neither of the issues were given any attention by the staff, This was in contrast to the attention and good communication from Luana prior to our arrival.

Flott hotell, idyllisk beliggenhet med dedikerte medarbeidere!
Pros:

Flott opphold på alle vis! Basseng og uteplass var velstelt og fint. Middag ute med bord ved sjøen var en opplevelse, god mat og hyggelig personale i restauranten. Frokostsalen var lys og trivelig, god plass og utmerket utvalg av mat. Personalet var 'på', god service!

Cons:

Ikke noe å sette fingeren på.
