Halbinsel Yucatán: Urlaub mit Kindern

We had a nice stay at the GR Solaris hotel. The room with view to the ocean was amazing but we had always water problems in the bathroom. Unfortunately we had 2 problems at the restaurant. First, my younger daughter found a spine in the sausage. The restaurant responsible apologised and tried to make it better with one manager. The same day our second daughter was injured by something sharpen on her chair. A rescuer worker came to see the injury. Unfortunately nobody was checking at her after that day even trying to offer us something special for her. We were supposed to have VIP access but excepted the upgraded room, I did not really experience the vip access. Thanks to the entertainment team, especially coach Yzrael, Abraham, Christ and Leo. The girls at the kids club were always nice to our kids (Monti and Crissel). Special thanks to Pedro at the reception and Adnan and Joel at the lobby entrance. The breakfast was very good and the rest of the food was ok.

Negativ: Die Anlage ist Renovierungsbedürftig hier die highlights. Schraube im Balkonürdurchgang stand aus dem Boden hervor abgebrochene, scharfkantige Wasserdüsen im Wasser eine Gewindestange mit Mutter , war auf dem Grund des Kinderbeckens hervorgestanden. Vermutlich war dort mal ein Spielzeug montiert gewesen. Unsere Tochter hat sich daran, zum Glück, nur leicht verletzt. Badewanne Emallierung teilweise weg und nur überstrichen. W-Lan eine Katastrophe und immer überlastet. Funktioniert eigentlich nur im Zimmer einigermaßen. Zimmerreiningung eher oberflächlich. an den Poolpaars geht ohne Trinkgeld nur wenig. Was hauptsächlich Schuld der Amerikaner ist, die an der Theke mit den Dollars wedeln, als wären sie in einem Stripclub... wer mal in die Stadt möchte muss eine gewissen Fahrzeit in kauf nehmen. Die Anlage ist recht allein gelegen. Positiv: die Mexikaner sind ein sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Volk. Die meisten sprechen sehr gut Englisch (im Hotel sowieso) und falls nicht, wird es so lange mit Händen und Füßen versucht bis die verständigung klappt. von früh bis spät wird hier gearbeitet um es den Gästen recht zu machen. die Buffets sind sehr vielfältig und abwechslungsreich. Die a la Cart Restaurants sind sehr zu empfehlen. die Poolanlagen sind riesig, allein für Kinder gibt es 4 Pools mit Rutschen etc.für alle Altersgruppen. Strand ist sehr schön angelegt unser Zimmer war geräumig und die Betten bequem. wer am Pool oder Strand entspannen will ist hier richtig.

Alles war ganz prima. Wir haben die Zeit genossen und uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Overall a nice place. Food and drinks were OK. Good pool area and a nice beach. The staff was very kind and attentive. Only hicup was the slow room service. Definitely recommended and we would come back anytime.

I would deduct 1 Star for the food, but the overall experience was great so I won't. The Room was perfect, the service outstanding. The Hotel in really good condition. The beach fantastic. We were worried at first, because most positive reviews came from americans, but this hotel can absolutely live up to european standards. The food is difficult. The decision from the hotel not to have a buffet is terrible. The Dinner Restaurants all served really not tasty food. The food experience from all dinner restaurants was bad, so we tried to use the afternoon kitchens which were great and the Room Service, which delivered fantastic food. The Tex Mex Buffet on Thursdays and the breakfast was really good as well. So as I said, usually this could make a bad experience, if you are not flexible, but the hotel was fantastic. The hotel wasn't fully booked oput, so we never had a problem getting a sunbed at the beach, but I can understand, that people are mad, that two thirds of all potential beach space is taken by cabanas that the hotel sells for $85 a day on top. This is a crazy rip off. Agin, we were not affected by this, so no star deduction. In high season this would probably something that we were furious about as well.
