HĆ“tel Ć  taille humaine avec un personnel accueillant et souriant. La chambre est fidĆØle au descriptif et offre un confort sans pareil. La clientĆØle est dans lā€™ensemble respectueuse. La piscine et les abords sont calmes, idĆ©al pour se reposer. Certains se plaindront de lā€™absence dā€™animation dā€™autres sā€™en rĆ©jouiront. Le buffet est de trĆØs bonne qualitĆ© et trĆØs variĆ©. Petit bĆ©mol nĆ©anmoins pour la formule all inclusive qui nā€™offre que trĆØs peu de choix sur le "snacking " en journĆ©e. La situation gĆ©ographique de lā€™hĆ“tel situĆ© Ć  seulement 20 minutes de lā€™aĆ©roport, nā€™est malheureusement pas idĆ©ale car trĆØs enclavĆ©e.

Wir hatten ein tolles Zimmer mit Privatpool, waren aber auch an dem wunderschƶnen groƟen 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 FuƟgƤngerzone/Strandpromenade laufen. Lediglich die Damen und Herren an der Rezeption waren etwas reserviert. Wir haben beim Betreten des Hotels oder auch wƤhrend des Tages immer gegrĆ¼ĆŸt und es hat nie jemand zurĆ¼ckgegrĆ¼ĆŸt. Das gehƶrt zu einem 5 Sterne Hotel dazu. AuƟerdem bieten andere Hotels dieser Kategorie jeden Tag mind. eine Flasche Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Wir hatten fĆ¼r 3 Personen eine und das auch nur am ersten Tag. Der bereitgestellte Raki am ersten Abend wurde direkt am nƤchsten Tag wieder abgerƤumt, obwohl wir noch nicht mal davon probiert hatten. Das haben wir nicht verstanden. Aber ansonsten wĆ¼rden wir jederzeit wieder dieses Hotel buchen.
