The staff at breakfast was the highlight of my stay. They are a truly lovely group. Really made the difference waking up to such friendly smiles.

Z plaży na imprezę.
Pros:

Lokalizacja hotelu jest fenomenalna - miejsce super skomunikowane.
Promenada ciągnąca się kilometrami. Wszędzie dojedziesz lub dojdziesz na piechotę.

Czystość, jakość obsługi, śniadanko na tarasie, łatwy dojazd z lotniska, ilość restauracji, sklepów, plaża.

Cons:

Hałas - wszechobecny i przez całą dobę (w ciągu dnia z budowy, a w nocy z okolicznych dyskotek).
Brak lodówki.

Pros:

Colazione buona, a parte i salumi che non definirei neanche tali. Bel ristorante sulla terrazza, posizione molto comoda per la sera, struttura ben tenuta

Cons:

Reception all'ultimo piano. Camere non ben insonorizzate, dal lato dell'entrata sono sopra a vari locali, tra cui un bar che si trova in mezzo alla strada e la musica si sente in camera fino a tarda notte, dato che possono suonare fino alle 4

Long weekend with friends
Pros:

good enough breakfast, choice of indoor and outdoor; twin room plus sofa was very good for two tall people and luggage; laundry service impeccable; frequent room service even if not necessary

Cons:

wifi could be a little stronger; the pool at the intercontinental was ok but the indoor pool surrounding area was not very clean on the tiles but good value especially the outdoor pool area was good.
