Es gab keinen Blick auf den Strand. Auf das Meer gab es einen schönen Ausblick. Katastrophal ist die Aufbewahrung der Töpfe und Pfannen! Unterhalb der Spüle mit Schimmel und Abflussgeruch! Kochen ist unter diesen Bedingungen eine Zumutung. Wir sind Essen gegangen. Es gibt nicht mal ein Schneidebrett.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass die Küchenausstattung und die Aufbewahrung der Töpfe und Pfannen nicht den Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Wir entschuldigen uns für die beschriebenen Zustände unter der Spüle sowie den Geruch — das entspricht nicht unserem Standard. Ihre Hinweise wurden aufgenommen und werden umgehend behoben, inklusive zusätzlicher Küchenausstattung. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben.
