My stay was fantastic but I was shocked by the breakfast waiters, they wiped my cup rim clean with a finger in front of me, some rubbed their faces and noses, some hocked back phlegm in a rude way, what a pity they seemed to be completely untrained in basic waiter hygiene, otherwise all great

Eine Oase

Einziger minus Punkt wahr, dass uns im Vorfeld nicht mitgeteilt wurde, dass zu dieser Zeit eine "Kinderwoche" war. D.h. es hatte etwas viele Kinder welche sogar beim Lunch direkt daneben lautstark im Pool spielten....
