Reviews
The kids were terrified and cried after the incident.
I just feel sorry that someone with this level of intelligence is allowed to operate a commercial boat. With his mental capabilities, he’d be better off mowing lawns or washing dishes, far from people.
Go into middle of Lake Faak
The rooms are very nice and clean with great views and while being quite an old building it has been renovated to have all the modern amenities but keeping its charm and not losing its character. The grounds are very well manicured and many activities are available such as having a tennis court, BBall half court and paddle boards by the beach areas and even a row boat. The views on the mountain are really nice while sitting by the water under your umbrella and it's never overcrowded in any areas of the island.
The breakfast buffet was excellent and lunch is also very good although we mainly did day trips into Villach for eg. Slovenia is also quite literally down the road. The dinners were set menus with a few offerings catering to vegetarians for example and the quality of the food was Excellent with something different each night.
Combine all these ingredients of amazing staff who really love their job, clean rooms with great views, a kitchen which cooks high quality food and management who care about the finer details then it feels more than 5 star!
There is something special about this place and I can't wait to come back.
