The resort is stunning, nice architecture and convenient. The beach by the hotel is Incredible. The breakfast regulations were great as no one came near the buffet but they had staff to plate the food you like. The breakfast quality was great and the selection changed every day. The pool had a nice temperature and the gym had everything you need for a good, balanced workout. The Sushi was superb! I bet during summer time it is a great place to stay! The staff at the welcome desk even organized a tennis court for us which we really appreciated.
SwitzerlandNice spacious rooms designed in a modern style. Perfectly cared garden and great location - just by the beach. The food in the restaurant very good - even on breakfasts there was always something special to choose.
PolandThe room was clean, very comfortable, and the staff were amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting. 😁

IrelandThis hotel has a unique location having almost private access to a beautiful beach. Even for November when weather was a bit coldish in this beach protected from the wind we managed to spent most of the time. They are also great hikes around the hotel. It had a indoor swiming pool which was perfect for this time of the year. Very nice restaurants close by.
