Never thought I would have had my first holiday as a retired person at the age of 40. So take this review with a pinch of salt and just do consider what you would expect from your holiday before judging straight from my words. I'm fairly confident that when I booked, I read an "All inclusive" formula, but sadly when I arrived at the hotel, I found out this was just a full board. Probably an error of mine, which had a repercussion in the holiday as it was a bit more annoying than expected. The hotel has a direct access to a wide, great white sandy beach, certainly ideal for families, although the sea is rarely calm and having a bath is often a challenge. The hotel itself is in need of some renovation, and - although accordingly to the national regulation they seem to fit in their star categorization, as frequent traveler I would classify Schumann as 3 stars (close to superior), but certainly not four. Exceptional with the cleaning status, things that left me perplexed was the absence of a safe in the room (though service in the reception was available), or the old-fashioned doors that don't lock after yourself or the antiquate and heavy door key, or proper provisioning of toiletries. The everywhere worn carpet, or the light controller on the bedside table, the old cracking phone contributed to my perception. A very positive note for the restaurant because dishes were delicious (two exceptions out of 5 days) and well presented, but portions limited in quantity. I was indeed annoyed by the limited fish selection (not influenced by the fish stop that will start at about mid-September), which in some cases was even frozen. The vegetable buffet was somehow compensating the limited portions, but the variety of cooked vegetables was limited and repeated daily with few variances. Very depressing the breakfast, with no cooked offering and local product selection. Table service was ok, but not amazing. Be prepared to specify your lunch and dinner preferences early in the morning. Nothing troubling, but somewhat limiting, even though I've to be honest I have not in need to change any of my choices so I don't know whether this would have been possible.
