Sauberkeit perfekt Restaurant überteuert

Die Location an sich ist sehr schön gepflegt und sauber. Beim Restaurant haben Preis und Leistung absolut nicht gepasst. Das sämtliche Personalbestand aus Philippinen. Sie waren sehr nett allerdings wussten sie nicht einmal, was ein Slibowitz ist. Aber das liegt ja an der Geschäftsleitung. Die armen Leute können nix dafür. Insgesamt angenehme Aufenthalt

Struttura nuova molto bella e curata, bella piscina area SPA vista meravigliosa sul mare. Colazione abbondante e varia sia per il dolce che salato. Punti negativi la mezza pensione che io ho prenotato non prevedeva nessuna bevanda compresa e constatava in un piatto di pesce o di carne e di un dessert comunque ottimi e di grande qualità e raffinatezza. Prezzi assurdi per le bevande riassumo le mie 4 cene in coppia consumato 4 bottiglie di acqua e 12 calici di vino Importo 98 euro............ Personale che parlava solo ed esclusivamente inglese o croato o tedesco compreso il personale della reception. Un solo cameriere parlava italiano (incontrato il terzo giorno) ma naturalmente non era sempre presente.... Camera molto bella ma per il costo e la classe dell'Hotel deficitaria di quasi tutto , no bollitore con prodotti per caffe o the in camera no bottiglia d'acqua di cortesia prodotti per il bagno singoli limitati al solo sapone quaderno di benvenuto solo in Croato inglese e tedesco (NB il 30% degli ospiti erano italiani). per ultimo no Bus navetta o mezzo gratuito dell'hotel che ti portasse alla spiaggia che dista a 1 km di strada formata da una discesa molto ripida che rifarla in salita era massacrante
