Bel hôtel mais manque d'intimité sur les terrasses
Sensation mitigée. J'avais réservée une chambre avec Jacuzzi sur la terrasse hors à aucun moment il n'était mentionné l'absence totale d'intimité car cette terrasse est situé à 1 m et au même niveau qu'une allée de l'hôtel . Il n'y a même pas de barrière pour séparer. Néanmoins j'ai été changée de chambre suite à cette réclamation, et surclassee.mais la nouvelle chambre n'était pas prête et sentait le renfermé. Dommage. Personnel sympathique cependant et très belle piscine.

Hôtel à taille humaine avec un personnel accueillant et souriant. La chambre est fidèle au descriptif et offre un confort sans pareil. La clientèle est dans l’ensemble respectueuse. La piscine et les abords sont calmes, idéal pour se reposer. Certains se plaindront de l’absence d’animation d’autres s’en réjouiront. Le buffet est de très bonne qualité et très varié. Petit bémol néanmoins pour la formule all inclusive qui n’offre que très peu de choix sur le "snacking " en journée. La situation géographique de l’hôtel situé à seulement 20 minutes de l’aéroport, n’est malheureusement pas idéale car très enclavée. Il faut prévoir la location d’une voiture pour idéalement visiter les environs. L’hôtel propose ce service à des prix intéressants. Je recommande vivement cet établissement.

Wir hatten ein tolles Zimmer mit Privatpool, waren aber auch an dem wunderschönen großen Pool mit den kostenfreien Cabanas. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, man hat immer was gefunden. Abends kann man an der Poolbar chillen oder durch die quirlige Fußgängerzone/Strandpromenade laufen. Lediglich die Damen und Herren an der Rezeption waren etwas reserviert. Wir haben beim Betreten des Hotels oder auch während des Tages immer gegrüßt und es hat nie jemand zurückgegrüßt. Das gehört zu einem 5 Sterne Hotel dazu. Außerdem bieten andere Hotels dieser Kategorie jeden Tag mind. eine Flasche Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Wir hatten für 3 Personen eine und das auch nur am ersten Tag. Der bereitgestellte Raki am ersten Abend wurde direkt am nächsten Tag wieder abgeräumt, obwohl wir noch nicht mal davon probiert hatten. Das haben wir nicht verstanden. Aber ansonsten würden wir jederzeit wieder dieses Hotel buchen.
