Our family had a wonderful time at the hotel! The entertainment options were fantastic, keeping our kids happy while we relaxed. The food variety was impressive, with both local specialties and kids' menus available. However, there was a bit of a rush for loungers around the pool, which could be managed better. Overall, a fantastic spot for a family getaway.

The hotel is beautifully decorated with spacious, modern rooms and a fantastic variety of food at the buffet.

The hotel provides a stunning environment with beautiful grounds and a water park that's great fun, although finding a sun lounger can be quite a challenge. The food selection is impressive, and the staff embodies a welcoming spirit. However, entertainment options might not cater well for all guests, especially non-German speakers, and noise from kids can be disruptive during meals.
