| Second Visit ,very well kept Hotel ,few hyperactive Dutch Kids ,(a bit like British but less Gobby)first week ,but most kids second week German therefore well behaved.Pleasant staff ,most East European ,few Spanish/Italian,little English spoken ,so learn German before you go,no problem unless you have a problem !!,Entertainment very weak ,but we knew that from Dec 06,only detioration was that sweet selection after 8.45 was very poor ,late eaters had virtually no choice,otherwise a great holiday ,grounds and rooms kept immaculate. As usual the mossies got us !! If you have a ground floor Appt dont leave door open as while sleeeping one couple had bag and contents stolen while asleep !Most guests German a few English ,no morons ,ideal for a relaxing break. |

| everyone wears sandals ,didnt know that rule ,i live in sandals ,yes trousers are reqd in evening but some wear the "long shorts" you know the 3 inch above ankle variety ,i just change straight after meal back into shorts ,grounds are kept first class and maid service excellent ,if shower gel runs out just place empty bottle by bath and its refilled ,enjoy your holiday !!!a lot of east european staff all polite and smile ,barman in lower bar excellent ,worth a tip at end of holiday ,they probably wont tell you but you are entitled to one free visit to sauna etc per wk of stay !! we didnt bother but looks nice ,as always on beach there wasnt enough time for us .Tell us after how you got on !!! |

I have booked this particular Hotel, based on the cracking reviews on Trip Adviser. Anything I do need to look out for Banzai?
Arrive 12th September and counting the seconds as I type this |

Had great time Kenny,it seems since May they are allowing shorts at Dinner,inceasing numbers on our second week ,i checked in reception but they said "not possible" BUT it was !! maybe the news hadnt reached them . Our safe played up ,we had new batteries fitted (exacly same as last year) then called out Technical ,within 5 mins was there oiling safe mech ,very very obliging. No Problems for you to worry about ,the Spar supermarket is 10 mins away (a little one) just across from Tindaya ,just cut through hedge by path along past playpark and you will see it to the right down steps (it may close sunday,the others further away will be open),ideal for sun cream/oil/water only 1.2 Euro for 5 litres,a few tried to refill bottles in restaurant but really not worth trouble if you use a lot ,you get 2 little bottles in fridge upon arrival and you can take a cupfull from bar if you need it.most staff speak little English ,but will understand you and answer in German ,Ray a waiter on outside terrace does speak good english however. Never saw our rep but departure times of bus will be in folder near reception. Room numbers are confusing but just remember top floor is level 1,reception where you enter is 3,entertaiment bar 5,restaurant and bar is 6,garden appts are 7,8 and 9.
One thing it happened to us last year and another client,then to us again twice this May...you return to room 9.30pm..nothing then return later to see evelope on phone flashing,panic sets in as you think there is a problem as reception will have no message but say maybe someone called from UK,if clarified they say maybe error it just means someone called your room,pick up phone wait 30secs and it stops .i dont know if its a con to get you to use their phone or really is an error,but i just texted my son and no prob so if it happens to you i would ignore it.
If your Shower gel runs out in bathroom just detatch bottle and leave on side of bath and the maid refills it ,no problem. Have a great time !! PS Beds Creak but are very comfortable !
We have just over 6mths before returning for Xmas & New Year !! |
