Absolutely recommendable for (large) families! It was our second time (2 adults and 3 boys) and we enjoyed our stay again! The hotel is perfect for families, the staff is super friendly and always tries to fulfill all wishes and for us the most important thing: you feel welcome as a whole family! Both children and parents get their money's worth here. The holiday for next year is already planned and we are all looking forward to it!
