We have returned from the hotel today and well we miss it already. The main positive is the staff and service. Everyone is so friendly, attentive and fantastic with our 6 month old baby. Nothing was ever too much from the added extras of toiletries in the bathroom for the baby, breakfast and purées of organic vegetables prepared on request... More

Most of the reviews on this hotel are true - the hotel is really great especially if you have kids. Generally very friendly staff, particuarly at the reception and concierge. The swimming pools are great (with one small indoor pool great again for kids if it's cold outside or first thing in the morning), and the staff at the kids... More

On this occasion we visited the beach restaurant for lunch for my mother in laws birthday and were all left very disappointed. My wife and her mother had spent the morning in the Spa (spending a considerable... More

Our first experience with a Kempinski in Sicily was so delightful that we booked this with the idea of relaxing and being pamepered for a day on our six week tour of Spain. The property is beautiful. Breakfast is fantastic. But we were extremely disappointed in our two dinners. The dining room looks like a converted meeting room with absolutely... More

We stayed here as a family at the beginning of may. We have a 4 year old son so were particularly interested in things for him to do!

This is a beautiful spacious hotel. The pool area is huge but with lots of different areas so you don't feel like you are all in a line. And beautiful beach area.

When booking a room, and at check in, insist on seaside, as just a few meters behind the hotel the highway A7 will spoil your holiday. The garden and pool area though are nice and suitable for families. - You should take a rent a car!

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review on your recent stay at our resort.

Extremely poor value for money. €400/night for a junior suite which overlooked the road so was noisy, it only got morning sun and you had to crane to see the sea. Unhelpful staff, all apologies and no action nor remedy. Last time for me in a Kempinski Hotel

Dear Guest, In reference to your comment, I regret that you did not enjoy your stay at your Deluxe Junior Suite. The Sea was just streight ahead of you, when looking over the large terrace towards the Sea, but it always depends on the angle you want to see things! All these types of Junior Suites, like you have booked,... More
