Pros:

Jó elhelyezkedés, közel a tengerpart. A személyzet kedves volt.
Az ételek finomak voltak. A reggeli és a vacsora svédasztalos, bőséges, mindenki megtalálta a neki megfelelőt.

Muita boa animação Nocturna para enquadrar famílias.
Sala de bagagens e sala de banho em anexo para o após check-out... excelente ideia.

This was already our second stay at the hotel - and we were even more happy than before. We plan to return again :)
Pros:

Excelent staff, perfect value for money, awesome pool world, superb breakfast. 5 minutes walk from the beach, shops and restaurants nearby too.

Cons:

Noone manages people who are “reserving” sunbeds with one towel or a toy and then are not at the pool at all…

Pros:

Die lage war super, in 2 min am Meer und im Städtchen,und trotzdem abgelegen von der Party meile.
Die Rutschen im underen Pool.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind total in die Jahre gekommen, habe auch noch nie soo umbequeme Matratzen gehabt.
Das Badezimmer wurde in der ganzen Woche nicht 1 mal richtig geputzt,nur oberflächlich, Aschenbecher auf dem Balkon wurde nur nach nachfrage geleert,Tassen die im Zimmer zu verfügung standen wurden auch nicht durch saubere ersetzt,auch nach dem gesagt wurde es wärde ersetzt ist nix passiert.
Frühstück war super, Mittag und Abend essen immer ein wenig das gleiche und zu 90% war das essen kalt und fade.
Mann durfte nicht draussen essen, trotz 30° es sei erst ab Juni geöffnet....
Es war viiel zu laut im Speisesaal, und auch im Zimmer, mann hört jedes Wort vom Fluur.
All inkl drinks sind nur die aus der Maschine die ungeniessbar sind.
Am Pool mit denn Rutschen wurde neben uns Cannabis geraucht, evt auch CBD, wir haben die Lifeguards darauf aufmerksam gemacht, aber wieder ist nix passiert, das geht gahr nicht im Kinderbereich!
Ein mal und nie wieder.
