      The campus is a small paradise, rooms are clean but not fancy. I didn't see air conditioning running and there is no hair dryer or mini bar. TV had only a few programs (2 German, total 10). The food was terrible, looked bad and tasted bad. They reheat the soups from previous day and even put the same bowl of fish egg salad just wiped on the sides and leveled a little. The coffee machine was working just between 7:30 and 10:00. Not to mention there was no teaspoon whatsoever. All juices had a weird taste either chemical or mold. I don’t know about alcoholics (never tasted) but the local white wine had a strange phosphorescent color. Sports are just on the list, I saw only on the tennis court some people. We tried to rent bikes or go kayaking but the bikes were broken and about kayaks nobody knew a thing. They just sent us to ask another and another person. The personnel were so grumpy that you feel like an intruder and want to stay away from them. Anyway they cannot help you in any way because they don’t know and even if they know, they hardly can put together a phrase in English. Too bad because the location is marvelous, well maintained and a bit savage, away from any noisy resort or city.

      service personnel poorly prepared, nobody except the receptionist does not know a foreign language, appear to be peasants in the area without any training of any kind... For ex.: after breakfast we found 2 maid room who were not bothered at all by this in our room, they not having a job with cleaning the room, had to deal with LCD screen TV that was in the room...In the food were some peasants who stay there, but not bothered to discard immediately after meals is released, expect to fill all of the scrap or be asked to clean.... probably changed the manager and regenerate the resort, giving up qualified personnel in favor of the peasants in the area, cheap labor is probably.... great pity that the location is superb...I do not think back soon, maybe years, to see if the staff has changed...

      Deceiving experience- we will never come again to this resort:the standard rooms are poorly equipped (3 stars and no fridge!!, the windows and the door are old and barely close), the food is disgusting and we noticed they re-cook the food that the tourists didn't eat in the previous days, the staff is arrogant and only at the main bar the drinks are included- so, if you are thirsty in the night(and remember, before 23:00) you have to walk aprox 300m to the bar to get a glass of water. The shops in there had thrice the prices normally seen in other resorts. It's a pity they didn't invest in this great area, cause the landscapes are great.
