Auch Lüften brachte nichts. Die Preise für Speisen und Getränke im Restaurant haben wir als unangemessen / sportlich empfunden. Ein kleines Tässchen Cappuccino kostet beim eigentlich inkludierten Frühstück 5 US Dollar. ##### Marei Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 6 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Die Anlage war sehr groß und weitläufig. Wir hatten unser Zimmer, obwohl nicht ausgebucht, am äußersten Ende der Anlage. Deswegen brauchten wir überall hin einen Shuttle mit dem Golfcar. Dieser konnte schnell und unkompliziert per WhatsApp gebucht werden. Als wir im Zimmer ankamen, war die AC auf 16 Grad eingestellt. Es brauchte Stunden, bis die Fenster nicht mehr angelaufen waren. Es roch deswegen die ganze Zeit extrem nach Schimmel. Das Zimmer an sich war sehr groß und mit einem wunderschönen Blick. Das Abendessen war auch in Ordnung. Das Personal war jederzeit super freundlich und hilfsbereit. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Claude 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jean Claude Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AELLEEN DEL 15 Feb 2025 ##### AELLEEN DEL Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Beauvais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beauvais-Hotels.d6442.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Rose Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemer-Hotels-DG-Hotels-Rose-Resort.h50700262.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosphorus Sorgun Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Bosphorus-Sorgun-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h15744607.Hotel-Information) > > [Calista Luxury Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Calista-Luxury-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1861637.Hotel-Information) > > [Enjoy Lichnos Bay Village, Camping, Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parga-Hotels-Enjoy-Lichnos-Bay-Village.h9524566.Hotel-Information) > > [Calyptus Kirman Premium - Ultra All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Kirman-Calyptus-Resort-SPA.h60642691.Hotel-Information) > > [FERGUS Bermudas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-FERGUS-Bermudas.h3234994.Hotel-Information) > > [Globales Playa Santa Ponsa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Hotel-Globales-Playa-Santa-Ponsa.h909809.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels near Golf del Sur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golf-Del-Sur-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6356329-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tortola](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tortola.d1116.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Henley-on-Thames](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Henley-On-Thames-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Henley-On-Thames.h7728222.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Calais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calais-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d6664-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Arnavutköy (IST) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ist/lhr/istanbul-to-london) > > [Flights from Tampa (TPA) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tpa/bna/tampa-to-nashville) > > [easyJet Gatwick (LGW) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-gatwick-to-ibiza/u2/lgw/ibz) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/arn/newcastle-to-stockholm) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Nelson (NSN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/nsn/london-to-nelson) ### Packages > [New York Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York.d178293.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Çanakkale Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canakkale.d6134118.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Sun Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-Valley.dx601721) > > [Visit Salta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salta.dx3199) > > [Visit Argyll and Bute](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Argyll-And-Bute.dx6051144) ---
