Excelente pequeno-almoço almoço, com muita variedade.

Cons:

Os quartos estão já muito datados e ainda têm alcatifa (que não é bom para higiene e alergias). Check-in inexplicavelmente demorado.

Esperava mais
Pros:

Quartos confortáveis
Pequeno almoço

Cons:

O buffet deixa a desejar: é muito simples, com poucas opções e alguns opções quentes que estavam frias
Na zona envolvente da piscina exterior, o piso era muito escorregadio, tornando-se perigoso, especialmente para as crianças que acompanhavam os pais.
A piscina interior estava sempre muito cheia. Apesar de termos feito marcação para a utilizar, não conseguimos usufruir devido ao elevado fluxo de pessoas.

Pros:

חדרים ואמבטיה מרווחים מאד וארונות נוחים. ארוחת בקר טובה עם בופה מגוון. וספא ובריכה פנימית נחמדים. הנוף הנשקף מהחלון יפה.

Cons:

התאורה בחדרים חלשה מידי, לא היה מייבש שיער בחדר. כדי להכנס לספא צריך להזמין מקום, למרות שהמלון היה בתפוסה נמוכה.

Pros:

Funcionários do check in foram muito simpáticos.
Pequeno almoço com variedade e sempre a ser reposto mas podia melhorar mais um pouco.

Cons:

Fomos um casal com um filho é deram nos quarto em que a cama de casal eram duas camas individuais.

Funcionários do pequeno almoço com falta de simpatia

Papel higiénico do mais fino que podia haver.

Éramos 3 e só disponibilizaram 2 copos.

Cama extra um pouco desconfortável

Aceitável
Pros:

Limpeza impecável, sem qualquer reparo a fazer.
Recepção simpática e eficaz a resolver um problema reportado.
Bom pequeno-almoço
Spa agradável mas sem qualquer controlo das marcações que por acaso até efectuei. Não existem reparos ao facto de crianças fazerem de uma zona que se quer calma e para relaxar um parque aquático.

Cons:

Relação qualidade preço fraca. Preço alto para o
Conforto que os quartos apresentam. Quartos antigos a precisar de remodelação e de um toque de modernidade. Um dos quartos tinha só meia alcatifa….o que se percebe que foi um remendo.
Solicitei quartos em zona calma. Foram atribuídos quartos juntamente com famílias e criança cujo barulho inerente obviamente não permitiu o descanso. A reserva foi feita com um mês e meio de antecedência, não me pareceu na ocupação máxima pelo que a atribuição dos quartos poderia ter sido mais cuidada.
