Absolut schönes,sauberes und modernes Hotel. Frühstück sehr gut.Sonnenliegen am Pool sind super. Freundliches junges Personal. Einziger Minuspunkt ist die Lage am extrem lauten Strip.Ohrstöpsel liegen im Zimmer bereit,doch an Schlaf ist nicht zu denken,da die Party jeden Abend um 20 Uhr bis morgens um 4 Uhr steigt. Nach der zweiten Nacht mussten wir uns ein anderes Hotel suchen. Schade für ein mega super stylisches Hotel das wirklich für Leute die keine Party machen wollen völlig ungeeignet ist, und das auch nicht offensichtlich im Hotelbeschrieb erwähnt wird.

Personnel accueil très sympa et compétent. Pas de lait pour le café, il faut l'acheter= Lamentable. Pas possible d'avoir un parasol au niveau piscine: avec de telles températures, lamentable! Pas dormi pendant toutes mes nuits chez vous à cause du bruit extérieur!!

Dear Isabelle, We are sorry if your stay at our hotel was not the best. Regarding the fact that there is no milk for the coffee, I think there must be some mistake. Regarding the other comments, thank you, we are taking steps to improve our services. Best regards, Luciano Hagge Hotel Manager
