Eine klare Buchungsempfehlung!!

10.0

Ein tolles Hotel, tolle Zimmer mit Blick auf das Wasser. Frisch renovierte Zimmer. Das Frühstück a la Carte.

Lediglich der hohe Preis am Canada Day ist zu kritisieren. Aber ja, verständlich!

Das Hotel war in Ordnung, bis auf den L

5.0

Das Schwimmbad war schön und der Bademeister war sehr höflich und gab sein Bestes, die Kinder im Zaum zu halten.

Tatsächlich war das Hotel sehr hellhörig. Es waren sehr viele Kinder im Hotel, die sich lautstark auf den Fluren und im Schwimmbad verhalten haben. Bis tief in die Nächte hinein wurden die Türen geschmissen. Eine Dame vom Frühstückspersonal war sehr unfreundlich und fertigte einen eher ab, als dass man sich bedient fühlte. Kundenservice ist anders.
