Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Fehmarn Getaway Awaits at Riechey!
Escape to Paradise: Riechey Review - My Fehmarn Fantasy (Maybe?)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (or maybe the Glühwein, considering Fehmarn is in Germany!) on Riechey, the "Escape to Paradise" that supposedly awaits. I'm talking sunshine, sea air, and all that jazz. But does Riechey actually live up to the hype? Let's dive in, shall we? And trust me, I'm gonna be brutally honest.
First things first: Accessibility - Did They Really Think This Through? (Rant Incoming…)
Alright, look. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I did seriously scrutinize the accessibility because, frankly, it's 2024. "Facilities for disabled guests" is listed, which sounds promising. But I'm talking details. Does that “elevator” actually work consistently? Are the public areas wide enough for a wheelchair to navigate? This vagueness makes me nervous because it means maybe, just maybe, they haven't fully committed to making this place truly inclusive. That’s a huge bummer if you ask me, because a getaway should be for everyone. More specific details are needed, Riechey!
Internet…Thank God for Wi-Fi! (And other stuff…)
Wi-Fi is everywhere! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, plus the public areas are covered. That's a win. Internet [LAN] in the rooms is listed too, nice if you're a throwback and still wire things up. I'm a Wi-Fi girl myself though. Still, good to see the options!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: A Spa Escape, Please! (I Knead a Massage)
Ohhh, the relaxing. This is where Riechey should shine, right? Let's break it down:
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Check. Promise me a proper steam room, the kind that just melts away your worries.
- Pool with View: YES PLEASE. I demand a pool with a view, preferably facing the Baltic Sea. Picture it: me, a cocktail, and the endless blue…
- Fitness Center: Alright, alright, maybe I'll hit up the gym after the spa.
- Massage: Vital. Massages are essential to a good vacation. Knead me, Riechey! Knead me good!
- Body Scrub/Wrap: Tempting. Maybe I'll come out looking like a smoothed-over beach goddess.
A Rambling Digression: The Pool…My Moment of Bliss?
Okay, so I'm picturing myself at the pool, right? Sun on my face, the gentle murmur of conversations, the smell of chlorine… And the view! Imagine just staring out at the ocean, just… staring. Forget the world. Forget my phone. Just me and the water. That’s the escape I'm looking for. I need that. But if that pool is over crowded, or the sunbeds are jammed together like sardines in a can, then… well, that’s going to be a serious buzzkill. Fingers crossed it's not!
Cleanliness & Safety: Hopefully, Not a Germ Factory
This is crucial after all the nonsense we've been through recently. Riechey's promising stuff: Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, hand sanitizer everywhere. Sounds good! They've got “safe dining setups”and all the rest. But here’s the thing: it's easy to say you're doing these things. I want to see it in action. Are the staff masked? Are rooms really sanitized between stays? This goes beyond a checklist; this is about feeling safe and comfortable and actually trusting that the hotel is taking hygiene seriously.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Will I Eat Like a King/Queen, or Just a Tourist? (Important Questions)
- Restaurants: Multiple? Awesome, the variety is key to a good vacation!
- Asian Cuisine: Interesting! Would try it.
- Bars: Oh, yes. A pool-side bar is a must. Happy hour is non-negotiable.
- Breakfast: A buffet and a breakfast takeaway? Okay, that’s genius, depending on how good the buffet is!
- Room Service: 24-hour? Score! The potential for late-night snacks is always a plus.
A Tangent About Breakfast…Because It Matters
Look, I’m a sucker for a good breakfast. Freshly squeezed orange juice, perfectly cooked eggs, pastries that actually taste good… The quality of the breakfast can make or break a vacation for me. This is a huge test for Riechey. A bad breakfast sets the tone for the whole day.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (and the Big Ones)
- Concierge: Crucial. A good concierge can make your life infinitely easier.
- Elevator: Essential!
- Daily Housekeeping: Gotta have it. I'm on vacation; I'm not doing chores.
- Laundry Service/Dry Cleaning: Useful!
- Cash Withdrawal/Currency Exchange: Handy.
- Gift Shop: A nice touch for getting souvenirs.
For the Kids: Is Riechey Family-Friendly, or Just Tolerant? (The Truth Hurts)
They mention babysitting and kids' facilities. That's good, but not enough. What kind of facilities? Is this a place kids will enjoy, or just a holding pen for them while the parents relax? Details, Riechey, details!
The Rooms: My Personal Oasis? (Or a Tiny Prison Cell?)
The list of room features is long, which is promising.
- Air Conditioning: YES. I'm a sweaty person, sue me.
- Blackout Curtains: Crucial for sleeping in.
- Coffee/Tea Maker: Necessary for the mornings.
- Free Bottled Water: A welcome touch.
- Bathrobes/Slippers: Luxury!
- Wi-Fi [free]: Double-checking. Still good.
- Mirror: Gotta check the hair.
- Room decorations: Tell me more. Are these rooms stylish, or something out of a time-warp?
- Soundproofing: PLEASE!
- Separate shower/bathtub: I appreciate having both.
Getting Around: No Time for Transportation Troubles
- Airport Transfer: Fantastic. Easy travel is key.
- Free Car Park: Excellent! Driving is a must.
The Verdict (So Far): Not a Perfect Paradise, But…
Okay, so Riechey sounds good on paper. But I'm still missing something. I need to feel like this is a true escape. The accessibility concerns are a red flag. I really want to hear more about the spa, the pool, and that breakfast. I'm hoping this is more than just a hotel. I want an experience.
Here's My Honest Opinion: They Need to Convince Me
Look, I’m intrigued. I want to love Riechey. But it's not a slam dunk yet. I'm reserving final judgment. But I’m still cautiously optimistic, here's what would persuade me to book:

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into my Fehmarn adventure at Riechey Comfortable - or at least, supposedly comfortable - holiday residence. Prepare for chaos, questionable decisions, and a healthy dose of existential dread. This isn't your glossy, Instagram-filtered travel guide. This is me, unleashed.
Day 1: Arrival and Desperate Attempts at Serenity (and Finding the freaking Keys!)
14:00: Ferry to Fehmarn. Oh, the joy of ferries. The salty air is nice, I guess, but the screaming children and the lingering smell of stale coffee… let's just say it's not a spa treatment for my sanity. I swear, a tiny part of my soul dies every time I'm stuck in that queue.
16:00: Arrive in Fehmarn, slightly seasick, entirely grumpy. Google Maps promises a "short walk" to Riechey Comfortable. Short for who? The Hulk? My legs feel like rubber noodles by the time I finally locate the place. (And "comfortable"? Let's see about that…)
16:30 - 17:00: The Key Quest. Okay, so the instructions said "key is in the key box, code is…" I'm staring at the key box, drenched in the rain I didn't account for, and my brain is apparently switched off. Ugh, there's no key! I think I'll just die. I feel a moment that could only be described as pure panic. I start re-reading the email, checking the house's address on the map again and again, starting to go insane.
17:00 -18:00: After a lot of confusion and fumbling around, I manage to reach the owner. He is incredibly patient, and after confirming I was using the right code, and I realize I've been trying the key to my car the whole time. What is wrong with me? I find the keys, and finally, I'm in!
18:00 Onwards: Okay, the place is kinda cute. But the sofa pillows are those weird, stiff ones, and the TV remote seems to have been designed by someone who hates humanity. I spend a good hour just trying to figure out how to switch the damn thing on and off. Wine. Definitely needed for my mental well being. And maybe some cheese. This is going to be a loooong week.
Day 2: Beach, Bliss, and a Brush with the Seagull Mafia
09:00 - 10:00: Wake up. Sun's out! Finally. So, I haul myself out of bed, fueled by instant coffee and a desperate need for Vitamin D. This is the only reason why I made this trip.
10:00 - 13:00: At the beach. Glorious, wide open beach. I plop down on the sand, reveling in the silence. For about five minutes. Then the screaming children start. Then the wind whips up, and I almost lose my hat. But the sea is beautiful, I get to feel the sand between my toes, so I relax, finally. The water is freezing, of course, but the sun is warm.
13:00: Lunch. A pathetic sandwich. This is where I realize I have forgotten to buy any proper food. I can see the local bakery from the beach, and I go to buy a bread.
14:00 - 16:00: Beach. Again? Yes, again. I get sucked into a really good book. I lose myself in the story. Then I am interrupted by a seagull. The seagull is enormous, and it wants my sandwich. I refuse to feed the beast. It's a stand-off. The seagulls start gathering. They're circling. They're intimidating. Am I the only one who thinks seagulls have an air of organized crime about them? Eventually, I win. But the experience really shakes me to my core, this is not a beach that I would ever visit again.
16:00 - 18:00: Back to Riechey Comfortable. A nap. I'm exhausted.
18:00 Onwards: The quest for a decent meal continues. I attempt to cook. I end up burning the toast. Maybe I'm not cut out for this solo travel thing. Wine is the answer, definitely the answer.
Day 3: A Rollercoaster of Emotions (Or Just Rollercoaster-ing)
- 10:00 - 13:00: Went to the amusement park. It was fun, but made me feel like I was not in my 20s anymore. Still, the rides were pretty cool, and the cotton candy was good.
- 13:00 - 16:00: Back to the beach for a much needed rest. Spent the rest of the day relaxing and looking at the ocean.
- 16:00 - 18:00: Back to Riechey Comfortable. A nap.
- 18:00 Onwards: Dinner. Pizza.
Day 4: The Lighthouse and the Loneliness
- 10:00: Decided to visit the lighthouse. The stairs were a killer, but the view from the top was truly spectacular. The sea stretched out forever, the sky a perfect blue.
- 11:00: I was at the cafe and bought a delicious cake. I sat outside, and I just stared at the sea. There was so much to see and to think about.
- 12:00: I felt the loneliness creeping in, the quiet, peacefulness of the place made me realize how alone I was.
- 14:00: I went to the house, and I turned on the TV. I had to escape from my own thoughts.
- 18:00 Onwards: The next day was the same as the previous one.
Day 5: The Windmill, the Wind, and My Inner Windbag
- 10:00: Windmill. They're beautiful. They're historic. They're… windy. Like, ridiculously windy. My hair looked like Medusa's worst nightmare.
- 11:00 - 13:00: I met two friends in the windmill. We talked for hours, laughing and smiling and trying to hide from the harsh wind. It was so amazing!
- 13:00: Back to Riechey Comfortable. A nap.
- 18:00 Onwards: I cried. The wind has made me feel really anxious.
Day 6: Staring at the Sea
- 10:00: I just looked at the sea. I have no idea how to describe it. I was just happy looking at it.
- 14:00: I looked at the sea.
- 18:00 Onwards: I looked at the sea.
Day 7: Departure and Reflections (Mostly Negative)
- 09:00: Packing. Ugh. I hate packing. Especially when I know I'm going to have to unpack again soon.
- 10:00: Final walk on the beach. The seagull Mafia are definitely watching me.
- 11:00: One last look at Riechey Comfortable. It's… okay, I guess. At least I survived.
- 12:00: Ferry. Screaming children. Stale coffee smell. The usual.
- 13:00: I have never been more certain of being so alone in my entire life. I've been so happy. I also hated every single moment, I am so scared of this feeling.
Final Thoughts:
Fehmarn: Beautiful, yes. "Comfortable"? Debatable. Would I go back? Maybe. Probably. But I'll be bringing industrial-strength earplugs, a hazmat suit for the seagulls, and a therapist on speed dial. And I'm definitely investing in some decent sofa pillows.
