I have recently returned from a trip to Lake Garda and stayed in this Hotel. I have stayed in better hotels before but I have definantly stayed in far far worse! I was on a Music tour of Lake Garda and there were 86 of us.
We arrived at the hotel later than expected and when we got to our room they were all clean and tidy. As we had been on a coach for 31 hours after being stuck in traffic all the way from Dorchester in England we were pleased to get into the refresching pool which was at the best temperature for the climate we were in. THE POOL WAS CLEAN AND WE DID SEE IT GETTING CLEANED BY THE LIFEGUARD SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY!!!
As we were on a music trip we had a lot of equipment for a full orhcestra, concert band, big band and several smaller ensembles. The hotel had a secure lock-up room for us to store all of this equipment in and if we had wished we could also use this room to rehearse as it was fully air conditioned and was away from other guests rooms in the hotel so we could make as much noise as we wanted.
As we were on a trip we had food included in the price of our hotel. We had a average breakfast. It was great if you were happy with continental breakfast. I am actually a vegetarian and all meals had a supply for meat eaters and vegies. In our party there were several people with other food allergies and the hotel were happy to cater for them as well. If you stay at this hotel and have a packed lunch/tea for a trip out, the bread rolls are like pieces of concrete.
There were enough sun beds around the pool for the amount of people staying in the hotel. The only problem I did have at the hotel was trying to get and extra pillow from the reception desk.
I would say that this hotel is very popular with school trips (as I was on one). It seems to be the case that the school party's are kept in a separate wing on the hotel. It is maybe not the best hotel for young children as during our stay some school groups were up until 2am. As we were out on concerts till late we were not returning to the hotel until the early hours of the morning.
