"Das Hotel sah aus, als sei es geschlossen - keine Menschen, ungepflegt, dunkel. Überhaupt nicht einladend! Die Rezeptionistin fand meine Reservation nicht und fing an, herum zu telefonieren. Dann zeigte sie mir das Zimmer, auch der Pool war völlig ungepflegt. Sie sagte, es würden Renovationsarbeiten durchgeführt. Auch war das Restaurant geschlossen und das WiFi funktionierte nicht. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass keine anderen Gäste anwesend seien. Eine Übernachtung hier ist nicht zumutbar!!! ICH...
