March 2024
solo | 4 - 8 days
Hotel
Pleasant atmosphere, parking directly in front of the hotel, my room was fine. I found it very nice that there was a dryer available for wet clothes.
Service
Once I had to call reception because of the lack of fresh dishes. My lunch meal was also delayed... but there was an excuse due to work overload, which I naturally accepted.
Treatments
I was able to enjoy the detox massage as a treatment. You could use the medi stream at any time in the hotel. One treatment was included in the travel package, and as I really enjoyed the massage, I treated myself to another massage on the day of departure.
Board type
As I was there for the Salu fast, I cannot give a rating.
Wellness area
I really liked the fact that there was an outdoor swimming pool and also an infrared sauna. The opening hours of the wellness area were also very convenient for me.

Treatments
Very friendly staff. Have even spontaneously changed a treatment according to my request.
Board type
Everything was very tasty. My friend had only a very small dish on the first evening and was not quite full.
Wellness area
A very nice and large spa area. The two pools are just a bit cold, so you can't stay in them for long.
