Staying in your hotel was wonderful. We had everything we wanted, including the jacuzzi! My husband and I enjoyed the organised sightseeing tour, and we would like to thank the receptionist, Irina, for her warm welcome when we arrived on Friday. I loved the food, too! (Melody, England)
I usually travel with my parents, but this year I decided on a city break with my friends, which I booked through tour company. Well done, everyone! The guide was a pleasant surprise: they usually talk a lot, but this one kept it short and sweet, and he made it really interesting. Unfortunately, the price for a one-day trip was too high, so I can only give you a four-star review. (Antonio, Croatia)
I’m an experienced traveller, and I have to say I’m very disappointed. First and foremost, the accommodation was horrible. Please clean your rooms after your guests leave! Second, although the restaurant staff did a good job, the menu was the same every day. Third and last, you should do something about your dress code – in my opinion, all staff should wear uniforms. (Olivia, Portugal)
