Disliked the fact that smoking is allowed everywhere outside
Pros:

Everything was perfect.

Cons:

I really disliked the fact that smoking is allowed everywhere outside. I would strongly suggest having designated smoking areas instead.

For us, the constant cigarette smoke was very unpleasant and made it almost impossible to relax and enjoy the outdoor areas. It felt like we were breathing in cigarette smoke all the time.

Because of this, I would not recommend this place for families with children.

Csodálatos szállás :)
Pros:

Nagyon szuper a szállás, a személyzet kedves volt, a szállás tiszta. Minden nap volt valamilyen program minden korosztálynak. A kinti medence csuda jó volt, ott is minden korosztály tudott pancsolni. Gyerekparadicsom, volt külön csúszdás vizes játszó, babamedence és kis játszótér. A szállodából külön kapun lehetett kimenni a tengerpartra, ott mindenhol volt zuhanyzó és lábmosó is.
A szoba felszereltsége is szuper volt, nem csak sampon és tusfürdő, hanem balzsam is volt a fürdőben, ami plusz extra jó pont nálam.
Mi félpanzióval voltunk, bőséges választék és ízletes nemzetközi konyha volt, ízléses tálalással.

Cons:

Bár minden korosztálynak volt program ezek sokszor estéig eltartottak (11-éjfélig), és bár a szállodai szoba jól szigetelt azért be lehetett hallani, tehát ez inkább csak észrevétel, hogy aki kisebb gyerekkel érkezik, ne feltétlen belső udvarra vagy tengerre néző szobát kérjen.

Pros:

Sehr schön ausgesattetes Hotel. Die Anlage, der Pool, das Zimmer.

Cons:

Viel zu viele Menschen. Das Essen war zwar gut, der Lärm durch die vielen Menschen und Anstehen am Buffet jedoch nicht entspannt. Auch am Pool war viel zu viel los.
