The property is advertised as a 4 star probably based on the amenities however it’s a 3 star at the most based on UK STANDARDS.
The food is limited for vegetarians apart from the array of salads and possibly 4 vegetarian main options. Foods are not not always labelled. However the chef is accommodating if given pre-notice.
Rooms needs a revamp, common areas are not cleaned, sun bed are not cleaned daily.
Licht und Schatten
Als erstes vorweg, es steht zwar Sentido drauf ist aber maximal Sentido ligth drin. Im Vergleich zum Sentido Blue auf Kreta zwei Kategorien darunter. Zum positiven:
Personal wirklich top, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Essen ist für ein AI-Buffet ok und abwechslungsreich aber die Getränke wie Wein, Cocktails, etc. sind billiger Fusel.
Die Poolanlagen sind sehr großzügig
Die Zimmer und Anlage insgesamt sehr sauber
Nun zum eher negativen Eindruck:
Bei den Zimmern kommt es sehr darauf an welche Art von Zimmer und in welchem Komplex man ein Zimmer bekommt. Wir hatten zwei Sharing Pool Zimmer im alten aber renovierten Komplex und diese sind nicht sehr schön und entsprechen absolut nicht den Fotos auf der Website. Der Strand ist ziemlich weit weg ca. 500 m und die angepriesene Beachbar ist ein absoluter Witz. Es sieht total unfertig und absolut ungemütlich aus.
Bel hôtel avec de nombreuses piscines et bars pour se désaltérer. Les repas sont variés. Le personnel est très aimable et aux petits soins avec ses clients.
Belle animation avec les animateurs de chez FRAM. Spécial merci à Quentin, Noa et Emma.
Nous avons passé un super séjour.
