I could write a book to describe my beautiful experience, but I summarize it in a few words!
The location enjoys a unique position, attention to detail, with taste and refinement. The sea, the beach and all the staff around it make your day that moment of pampering that we all look for in everyday life.
La stanza sul mare, no scusate, nel mare….ma che ve lo dico a fare! Da provare!
I believe that those who have succeeded in generating all this goodness of God should only receive great applause!
The writer is a hotel manager... away with his wife!
Let's start with the positive points. The staff was impeccable: the friendliness, efficiency and helpfulness of those who work here are from 10/10. I can only praise those who take care of guests, always attentive and ready to meet every request with a smile. The quality of the restaurant and breakfast was also very good, I would say a 9/10. However, the hygiene of the buffet left much to be desired: in addition to noticing that many guests took food directly with their hands, I witnessed people using the juicer independently, inserting dirty hands into the machine to prepare their own juices. This practice is not only inappropriate but also hygienically risky. I immediately reported this to the staff, and steps were taken the following day to limit this behavior. However, this is a situation that should have been prevented and prevented immediately by staff.
As for the structure, the hotel is very nice in the common areas, but unfortunately the room we were assigned was not up to expectations. Although the view was excellent, the room was old, with a 1970s décor in need of renovation. For a 4-star hotel, which charges a certain amount, it is not acceptable to maintain rooms in these conditions. The shower was very small and for two days we had to manage an ant invasion on our own, as we were told that the facility could do nothing, leaving us responsible for using ant poison.
Another big sore point was the behavior of one of the beach attendants, who used the same broom to clean the ground, deck chairs, sunbeds and umbrellas. In addition, I found it inappropriate that umbrellas and sunbeds were planted directly on the shoreline, an area that should remain free, being state property.
Finally, one of the most serious outages we found was related to the pool at the property. Upon our arrival, without any notice, the pool was closed, preventing me from using it. This was a big problem for me, as due to my physical condition I cannot easily reach the beach and the sea, located about 100 meters from our room. The pool would have been a much more comfortable and safe solution for me, but we were only told "sorry" as justification for the sudden closure. I find such a serious disservice unacceptable, especially for a hotel of this category.
In summary, while some aspects of the property seem worthy of a 5-star hotel, others make it look like a Hostel. Here is my final report:
- **Personnel**: 10/10
- **Location**: 10/10
- **Cleaning**: 5/10
- **Services**: 8/10
- **Restaurant**: 8/10
- **Management**: 4/10
- **Camere**: 0/10
**What you liked:**
- The location of the hotel and the beach are very nice. Not everything else.
**What didn't like:**
- The bedroom, which should have been sea view, was small, old, no wifi, no TV, antiquated and unrenovated. Moreover, it was impossible to open the window because the guests of the other rooms passed in front of ours. Opening the window, everyone could look inside. So, the room was seafront just so to speak... It was probably the old locker rooms on the beach that were roughly converted into a room.
- The restaurant is absolutely not up to the asking prices. I was asked 50€ for a plate of fried squid... 157€ for squid, two mini fish slices, water, a glass of wine, a coke and a packaged ice cream... Like a starred restaurant, but this is not.
- Also, absurd and not acceptable: on the day of checkout the beach umbrella was not included and I was asked 150 € for the umbrella. I spent 1250€ to have the beach umbrella for a day and a half. Check-in Friday, check-out Sunday. The day of check-out was a wasted day given the absurd request of 150€ for the umbrella. Ruined vacation and bad mood... I have been to many hotels of this level and such a thing had never happened to me. I will never return to this place and I recommend places where these things do not happen, such as the two adjacent hotels where I have been, and this absurd request of 150 € for the umbrella on the day of checkout has never been made to me. It was always included of course. So, thank you, but you'll never see me again.
The staff were friendly but not organised, we ate quite well at the restaurant, even if the dishes were served first and then the cutlery... the very high prices which absolutely do not justify the lack of service and quality they offer.
The only positive note was the beach, large umbrellas spaced out and it was really good.
1) No porters provided, so we were forced to drag our suitcases up and down ramps and climbs and I assure you that it is very uncomfortable and tiring!!!
2) Dark, damp room with an unpleasant odor (mold)!!!
3) Inadequate courtesy service, no slippers, toothbrushes and more provided, but only the bare minimum!!!
4) Do-it-yourself breakfasts with few staff and poor service (as they rightly complained to each other), desserts and breads offered, almost all frozen, with the exception of a few plum cakes and a few tarts. Poor quality meats and cheeses!!! scrambled eggs without a suitable container, left in the air to oxidize!!!
5) bar, restaurant and bistro prices are high compared to the quality of the products offered and the always poor service!!!
6) wifi only on the beach, no telephone line
7) beach and sea top marks
Obsolete dark rooms, there were ants on the ground and a smell of closed, the TV did not work, the bathroom was really small, without a bidet and with very old toilets.
The staff is very friendly and also the food deserves a positive Rating, both the
Breakfast that the salad served on the beach;
I find it frankly excessive to pay 600 euros for a triple that comes in the aforementioned conditions.
