Bardzo elegancki hotel, zapewniający pełen spokój i relaks. Absolutnie nie polecam turystom szukającym rozrywek. Miła i pomocna obsługa, której ilość przewyższała w naszym odczuciu liczbę gości hotelowych. Nie obyło się jednak bez małych wpadek: - mimo, że ostatniego dnia pokoje były przedłużone do godziny 18.00, elektroniczne klucze przestały działać o 12.00; udało się je skutecznie włączyć po trzeciej interwencji; - mimo, iż zapewniani byliśmy przez rezydentkę, że w ostatnim dniu zamiast kolacji mamy w cenie obiad, okazało się że obsługa nic o tym nie wie; - w związku z późnym powrotem z wycieczki (po 23.00) rezydentka zamawiała dla nas kolację, która miała na nas czekać w pokoju; kolacji nie było, po interwencji i godzinnym oczekiwaniu kolacja dotarła. Nie zmienia to jednak pozytywnego obrazu hotelu.

Brak zainteresowania rezydentów, podczas przyloty i odloty. ( jedna osoba uzdrawiającą wszystkich w kolejce w celu odchaczenia listy) to chyba nie o to chodzi w pracy rezydenta. Uważam że nie uzgodniono z hotelem oferty All inclusiv. ( na każdym kroku sprawdzano z kartka w ręku czy należy sie kawa, czy herbata) ludzie poza tym sympatyczni, czysto urozmaicone posiłki. Hotel położony w bardzo ładnej sceneri, dookoła nic sie nie dzieje, ale to nasz wybór. Jesteśmy ogólnie bardzo zadowoleni( bardzo nieprofesjonalne podejście do pracy, pomocy rezydentów) . Pozdrawiam
