Hotel close to the beach

Great facilities but the dining experience was awful. One restaurant, full of queues, little variety and HUGE amounts of noise. If you tried to move to another on site restaurant ( as part of the all inclusive package) you had to book 48 hours in advance and even then it was a limited set menu. If it rains, as it did for us on most days there is very little to do and space is compromised. The noise from the entertainment was overwhelming and went on till around 1130 hrs most nights.

Das Essen ist hervorragend und das Personal freundlich. Das Zummer war für 2 Personen zu klein und hatte Mängel. Der Balkon lieblos und mit billigen Plastikmöbel ausgestattet. Insgesamt passt das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis nicht so recht. Das Hotel ist für Familien mit Kinder auf Grund des Spielangebots gut geeignet. Ebenso für Tennisspieler. Für Reisende mit Hund ist aber abzuraten. Das Hotel verlangt unverschämte 30€ pro Nacht. Die Strände für Hunde sind klein und an der „letzten Ecke“.

Wir wohnten zu fünft ( 2 Erwachsene und drei Kinder) in einer Villa . Davon gibt es mehrere, die aneinander gebaut sind. Die Villa hat zwei Schlafzimmer ( ein Doppelbett und ein französisches Bett) und eine Schlafcouch. Zusätzlich eine kleine Küchenzeile und zwei Bäder (1xDusche und 1x Duschwanne). Das Appartement ist sauber, aber schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Positiv ist die Klimaanlage im Appartement. Wir haben aufgrund der Bewertungen das All inklusive Angebot gebucht. - das können wir auch nur empfehlen! Das Essen ist sehr lecker und vielfältig. Besonders positiv hervorheben ist der Bereich der Kinderbetreuung. Alles neu und für jedes Alter was dabei.

Alles war sehr gut, sauber und ordentlich. Hervorheben will ich, dass man in der Anlage selbst nicht mit dem Auto rein fahren kann, was für zusätzliche Ruhe und Sicherheit sorgt. Die Anlage ist riesig, und parkähnlich angelegt. Wunderschön für Spaziergänge entlang der Küste, top. Auch das Essen ist gut, man findet immer etwas für den eigenen Geschmack, nur ist der Saal manchmal überfüllt und man muss kurz warten. Es gibt übrigens sowohl Sand- als auch Kies und Felsenstrand. Für die große spiellandschaft im Wasser muss man aber extra zahlen, und zwar ordentlich. Liegen auch extra. Für kleine Kinder ist dafür ziemlich viel geboten, auch für die ältere findet man kikker und Billard. Livemusik etc. Wir würden auf jeden Fall gerne noch ein Mal hinfahren, es war wirklich schön.
