Nice, except for the breakfast.

Nice place, the breakfast was expensive and too little to choose from. Beach is great if you like fun waves!

Disliked: Staff & service
Just average, it's rows of interconnected small rooms with little personality and a little worn, e.g. rust in the bathroom. We booked a "superior garden view room" but were placed in room 302 which had view of the beach/parking, I only realised the mistake after checkout, didn't help my overall underwhelmed impression of the hotel.

Don’t book this hotel if you don’t want to pay more. After the free cancellation period of your booking ends, they make their own rules. They send you a link for additional payment (I had to pay my son’s stay twice). If you don’t pay, they don’t give you the keys and you can’t cancel your stay with Expedia anymore. Delphine is irreducible and thinks it’s right. The case is currently with Visa to process my refund.

Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à l’hôtel Marina di Lava, la plage qui borde l’hôtel est magnifique! La chambre était propre et agréable, une bouilloire pour se faire un thé/café et une bouteille d’eau à l’arrivée auraient été appréciables.

Hôtellerie satisfaisante, chambre propre et bien équipée en ce qui concerne la restauration le buffet des petits déjeuners propose un large choix malgré sont prix élevé. Le restaurant n'est assurément pas en adéquation avec un sejour prolongé car très peu de choix dans l'ensemble des gammes de produits ainsi que de qualité. C'est bien dommage car le site mérite beaucoup mieux.

Fantastique

Séjour de 2 nuits à mi-mai, site merveilleux au pied de la plage, calme et un peu sauvage, très bien comparé à la foule de Ajaccio, chambre très spacieuse, petit déjeuner varié salé et sucré, restaurant très bien également. Ensemble du personnel agréable et sympathique.
