Man hat alles in der Anlage! Pool, Sauna, Whirlpool und sogar eine Rutsche. Große Grünanlage und die Zimmer sind modern ausgestattet. Das einzigste was uns kicjt hefallen hat, das man für Aqua-Park Bereich keine separaten Handtücher bekommt bzw. Zur Verfügung stehen. Da muss man leider die Handtücher aus dem Zimmer oder seine eigene die man bon zu Hause mitgebracht hat benutzen. Aber ansonsten hat uns der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen! ##### Nico Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kaiserhof Kitzbuehel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kitzbuehel-Hotels-Hotel-Kaiserhof-Kitzbuehel.h1353847.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Plaza West Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doha-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Doha-West-Bay.h9441397.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Lenham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Lenham-Hotels.s40-0-d182571.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Halifax](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d602873-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Sofitel-Agadir-Royal-Bay-Resort.h914615.Hotel-Information) > > [Oakhill ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Oakhill.h3297080.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Fuerteventura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuerteventura-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d1263-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Golden Tulip De' Medici Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruges-Hotels-Golden-Tulip-De-Medici-Hotel.h876692.Hotel-Information) > > [Greenwood Suites Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Greenwood-Suites-Resort.h31158863.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leighton Buzzard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leighton-Buzzard-Hotels.d180821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Glenrothes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glenrothes-Hotels.d180628.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vauxhall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vauxhall-London-Hotels.0-n6188406-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Parking in Chiswick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiswick-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6144886-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Little Haven - a mudeford - house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Little-Haven-A-Mudeford-House-That-Sleeps-8-Guests-In-4-Bedrooms.h24083586.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexandre FrontAir Congress](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Front-Air-Congress-Aeropuerto.h1896561.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Beach-Miami-Hotels.0-n6138745-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Cars > [Car hire in Rust](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Rust.d6035305.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Coral Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Coral-Bay.d6360949.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Ilha Grande](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Ilha-Grande.d6061540.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
