Modernes Hotel mit grosszügigem Platzangebot

Ein paar Tage an der kroatischen Adria bleiben nach dem Aufenthalt in diesem Super-Hotel einfach unvergesslich. Das äusserst moderne Hotel besticht durch seine ideale Aufteilung der Pool-, Restaurations- und Pirvatzimmerzonen mit grossem Komfort und guter Funktionalität. 3 Erwachsene Personnen finden bestens Platz in den grosszügigen Appartements-Zimmern. Das Personal ist äusserst freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Für einen Schwatz über Fussball und die Welt ist auch Dejan Lovren zu haben.
