Reviews
The disaster is the aqua park & swimming pool has green water & dirty .
One of the trims doesn’t have minibar.
SÅ ÄCKLIGT OCH OKUNNIGA PERONAL.
Här finns det inget att välja på när det gäller mat. Samma äckliga mat och grönsaker 3 dagar i rad. Smutsiga personal som röker samtidigt som de lagar mat framför dina ögon 🤮 . Vi klarade inte va där i 3 dagar ,var tvungen att byta hotell
The shower did not work, we could not shower after each other, there was no hot water, while we were showering we called the reception to come and fix it and then they said that the heater and it needs time to get warm again.
There was no ice in the bar, we had to drink hot drinks or go buy our own drinks from the kiosk next to the hotel. The food was so disgusting, we even found worms in the vegetables. There was not much to choose from. We chose to eat out.
The staff did not have good hygiene at all, they smoked cigarettes while cooking / grilling completely frozen meat out by the pool. and after 3 days we did not want to be there anymore.
The pool and aquapark so dirty ,no activities for children. We were so shocked by all this and my
