Dreieinhalb Sterne lediglich nach 3. Welt Standard

Entgegen den Photos bei hotels.com sieht die Realität anders aus. Protziges Eingangsportal und dann kleine abgenutzte Zimmer, Schimmel in der Dusche, Rost in den Ecken, abgenudelter Badvorleger, man weiß nicht ob der Teppichboden lebt... Am Empfang dauerte es fast eine halbe Stunde bis die Buchung gefunden wurde, das erste Zimmer in das ich ziehen sollte war noch nicht hergerichtet (19 Uhr...). Kein Stuhl oder Tisch auf dem Balkon. Gebucht war "Seeblick", kein See weit und breit, lediglich ein kleiner Fluss mit zugemülltem Ufer. Auch am Pool keine Liege oder dergleichen. Dusche mit verrosteten Armaturen, Betonsteine dreckig. Die letzten beiden Tage gab´s morgens kein warmes Wasser zum Duschen.
