Es un hotel muy bonito pero que para el precio que pagas es caro. Las instalaciones son bonitas pero están ajadas. Si lo cuestan a más sería increíble. La terraza preciosa al atardecer.

Meidet diese Unterkunft

Meidet das Hotel! Waren im Bungalow von denen es 4 gibt aber unmittelbar am Haus. Es roch schimmlig wohl weil die Fugen am Boden zum großen Fenster und vor der Wanne noch nie verfugt wurden. Wisch und Duschwasser muss eindringen und modert drunter. An Wanne weder duschvorhang noch Glasklappelement, also hinhocken und trotzdem duscht man den Fußboden mit, aber das Wasser läuft ja langsam in die Spalte ..... keine klibürste, wc Rollen Halter abgerissen fehlt eben. Nicht mal ein Stuhl oder Sessel wo man könnte Sachen ablegen, nur eine Kleiderstange die so angebracht ist, dass die meiner Frau zwei mal auf den Kopf gefallen ist. Dort eine Nespresso Maschine - der wirkliche Lichtblick aber die muss man durchs Zimmer auf die kleine anrichte tragen, Stecker von Lampe ziehen um Strom zu bekommen- geht aber!!! Never Never für 160€ diese Nacht

Belle terrasse, belle chambre mais...

Très bel endroit, belle vue sur la plage depuis la terrasse. Bons cocktails sur cette belle terrasse. Mais... Accueil un peu froid avec la mauvaise surprise de devoir payer un supplément pour le lit de nos enfants. Nous avions réservé pour 4! Le lit était en plus trop petit pour nos 2 grands ados. Le plus petit a dormi avec nous, notre lit était grand et très confortable. Douche agréable, bon petits produits. Le resto n’est pas génial, ils avaient la moitié de la carte, c’était cher et toute petite ration.

El hotel es una maravilla y la situación idílica, pero el trato del personal no es nada agradable, lo que no ayuda a que te quedes con un buen sabor de boca, sino más bien lo contrario. Con respecto a la habitación, no estaba correctamente terminada de arreglar ya que no estaba ni siquiera el papel higiénico, el cual lo tuvimos que solicitar. Por otro lado habíamos solicitado cama de matrimonio y la habitación tenía dos camas individuales unidas y cuando le indicamos si podía ser cama de matrimonio nos indicaron que sería una habitación superior por lo que debiamos pagar un suplemento.

Lugar inmejorable. Dirección fácilmente mejorable

El entorno es inmejorable, y el sitio también. Muy bien situado, decoración exquisita. El personal es agradable y atento. Sin embargo, la señora que dirige el hotel me resultó excesivamente e innecesariamente desagradable en el trato (con clientes, trabajadores, sercivio de catering) e hizo que la estancia no fuese todo lo magnífica que podría haber sido.

Estancia desastrosa!!!!!!

Hotel bonito pero personal poco profesional, maleducado y soberbio, incapaces de solucionar los problemas y con respuestas poco apropiadas a un cliente. Falta de atención en la recepción y desorganización con las reservas y la forma de pago. Servicio de restauracion lento y con precios elevados para la calidad de los productos. Trato malo al resto de los clientes cuando por el establecimiento aparecía algun famosillo.
