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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea Nov 6, 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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Natalia Dec 23, 2025 ##### Natalia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Claude Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jean Claude Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### AELLEEN DEL Feb 15, 2025 ##### AELLEEN DEL Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Matera](https://www.expedia.ca/Matera-Hotels.d602067.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Sydkustens at Pillehill](https://www.expedia.ca/Ystad-Hotels-Sydkustens-At-Pillehill.h31870725.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Jackson](https://www.expedia.ca/Jackson-Hotels.d180006.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [The Grateful Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Grande-Hotels-The-Grateful-Hotel.h58950112.Hotel-Information) > - [Shopping Hotels in Madagascar](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Madagascar-Shopping-Hotel.0-0-d106-tShoppingHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Soho Boutique Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Malaga-Hotels-Soho-Boutique-Las-Vegas.h682.Hotel-Information) > - [Mountain Hotels in Northern Spain](https://www.expedia.ca/Northern-Spain-Hotels-Mountain-Hotels.0-0-d6342394-tMountainHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Free Breakfast in Chatham-Kent](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Breakfast.0-0-d6057866-tHotelswithFreeBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Farmstay Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/Bayview-Agritourism.d553248635975848349-aaAgritourism.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Desbarats](https://www.expedia.ca/Desbarats-Hotels.d553248635975855172.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Shopping Hotels in Middlesex County](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Middlesex-County-Shopping-Hotel.0-0-d553248635083904024-tShoppingHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Cheap Hotels in Riverside](https://www.expedia.ca/Riverside-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6057534-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [The Cortez House – Stay for 8!](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Cortez-House-Stay-For-8.h113476933.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Hotels in Liscomb](https://www.expedia.ca/Liscomb-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d58374-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Tangerang (CGK) to Bang Phli (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cgk/bkk/jakarta-to-bangkok) > - [Flights from West Bend](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6053890/flights-from-west-bend) > - [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Cairns (CNS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/cns/sydney-to-cairns) > - [Flights from Aydarovskoe (VOZ) to Dar es Salaam (DAR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/voz/dar/voronezh-to-dar-es-salaam) > - [Flights from Pasco (PSC) to West Yellowstone (WYS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/psc/wys/pasco-to-west-yellowstone) > - [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Kingston (YGK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/ygk/halifax-to-kingston) ### Cars > - [Car rentals in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Cancun.d179995.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > - [Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Guanacaste.d6071349.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > - [Visit Grand Isle](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Isle.dx3000459641) > - [Visit Toritto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toritto.dx3000026036) > - [Visit Gordon Head](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Gordon-Head.dx553248635976394623)
