Мы снова прекрасно провели отпуск в одном из наших любимых отелей на побережье.
Pros:

Мы отдыхаем в этом отеле уже несколько лет и всегда с удовольствием возвращаемся. Очень нравится расположение прямо на берегу моря и прекрасная атмосфера для отдыха. Отдельное спасибо ресторану за вкусную еду и отличный сервис. Персонал всегда приветливый, внимательный и доброжелательный. Это место, куда действительно хочется возвращаться снова.

Cons:

Единственное, что нас в этот раз действительно разочаровало, — это бар на берегу. Раньше это было одно из наших любимых мест: отличный сервис, прекрасные коктейли и очень приятная сотрудница, которая создавала особую атмосферу.

К сожалению, в этом году всё изменилось. В первые дни сотрудники практически не подходили к столикам и не убирали посуду. Но больше всего расстроило качество коктейлей — оно стало заметно хуже. Напитки, которые раньше были одной из причин возвращаться сюда снова, теперь оказались откровенно неудачными.

Очень надеемся, что руководство обратит на это внимание, потому что раньше бар был настоящей визитной карточкой этого места.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

So I've stayed here before and last time it was fine
This small hotel has a restaurant and a beach bar attached. When I arrived for a peaceful and chilled relaxing stay, I was met with blaring music from the beach bar with a DJ and mega speakers. Music at est splitting volume went on for hours and this is every single day during the summer, apparently.

I tried to have a nap in the room. Impossible with thd music.

Turned on air-conditioning which just seemed to be blowing out hot air

Try to cool off in the shower. It was impossible to get the shower head to stay in its hook resulting in converting the bathroom into a wetroom. Water all over the floor.

Spoke to staff who were helpful but didn't see why having a 6 hour disco outside your room would be a problem.

By 9pm I wad completely frazzled and left to drive home.

Thank God I'd only booked one night What was meant as a little treat turned out to be a complete nightmare.

Don't book this hotel over the summer unless you want to sleep in a disco

Unacceptable Treatment and Unsanitary Rooms
Pros:

Fantastische Lage am Strand, Zimmer einfach aber bequem mit teils Meerblick, Garten zum Chillen, hundefreundlich, sehr schöne Bar, gutes Restaurant mit freundlichem Personal, Parkplatz vor der Tür, fantastischer Strand, Nähe zur Stadt

Cons:

Ein Großteil des Personals für den Check In ist inkompetent und unverschämt! Wir wurden in der Reservierung nicht gefunden, es kamen unterschiedliche Personen, die nicht wußten was sie machen sollen. Dann kam eine Dame ohne uns zu begrüßen und meinte, die Zimmer wären anderweitig vergeben und wir müssten uns ein anderes Hotel suchen. Nachdem wir uns weigerten, standen wir gute 40 Minuten dumm rum, kein Angebot Platz zu nehmen und uns Drinks anzubieten. Die Dame kam wieder und bot für uns alle 1 Zimmer an.
Nachdem wir auf 2 Zimmer - wie gebucht - bestanden, warteten wir weitere 20 Minuten, bis sie uns 2 Schlüssel auf die Theke knallte und ging. Kein Hinweis wo die Zimmer sind oder sonstiges, das man als Gast erwarten dürfte!
Ein Zimmer war in der ersten Reihe mit Meerblick, das zweite im Hinterhof ohne Meerblick, dafür mit Kakerlaken im Bad, auch dafür gab es keine Entschuldigung ... einfach OHNE Worte und nie wieder!
