Review of Grand Hotel du lac, Vevey

The Veranda (and also the swimming pool area) are seriously and adversely impacted by the new Buddha Bar Beach which plays loud and, in my view, inappropriate music from mid morning onwards. The nature of the music and the sound level disturbs the Veranda restaurant (and if it ever actually opens Les Saisons) and also the swimming pool area where it makes it impossible to relax and enjoy a tranquil environment - surely this is what most of the guests will want - not loud thumping music. While this bar remains we will not revisit the hotel and would not recommend it to anybody. You need to look at the nature of your guests to work out that this bar concept is totally misconceived.
