Simply our favorite place. We are an extended family made up of two grandparents, three families, and kids ranging from 10 to 17 years old, and for the past ten years, we’ve chosen Alborea Eco Lodge as our summer holiday destination. Every time it confirms our love for it—and every time, it’s hard to leave. Once again this year, the nautical activities were a big hit, especially with the kids, who enthusiastically took part in windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing. The food this year was perhaps the best we’ve had in the past ten years. A sincere thank-you and congratulations to the entire kitchen staff. A special mention goes to the Zurawski Band, whose live music created truly beautiful moments, adding a touch of quality and atmosphere to the already engaging entertainment offered by Bluserena’s amazing Dream Team. The resort staff is impeccable—kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs, from the reception team to the dining room staff, the bar crew, and the shuttle drivers. A lovely new addition this year was Gianmarco, the photographer, who, with great professionalism and discretion, managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our vacation. We highly recommend taking the time for a personalized photo session with him—a truly special memory to take home. For us, Alborea is much more than just a destination: it’s a tradition, a family ritual, a place where every year we find warm hospitality, nature, comfort, and genuine beauty.

The main hotel reception, restaurant, bar and pool were lovely. The rooms very nice and clean however the decking on the lodges was appalling and very dangerous. Nails sticking out, cracked and rotten boards. You felt like you were going to fall through. Also in the restaurant they don’t chill or cover the deli meets and cheese so they have flies all over them and and dangerous to eat sitting in the heat for hours. If they fix those few things the place could be wonderful. But urgently they need to fix all of the decking before someone has a serious accident

Les +: le site, le lodge très spacieux, la plage magnifique. Les -: - l'organisation de l'hôtel beaucoup trop compliquée, le système de paiement par carte même si c'est inclus, les systèmes de réservation variables selon les restaurants selon les services, le vin gratuit au bar mais pas à table, la serviette de bain de la piscine qui ne peut pas être emmenée à la plage,... Le personnel est très bien mais on leur demande de gérer cette usine à gaz et les clients ne comprennent pas le fonctionnement de l'hôtel - mauvais enregistrement de mon nom dans leur systeme m'interdisant toute reservation - les équipements du lodge, le coffre ne marchait pas à notre arrivée, il manque une lampe de chevet, le WC coule, la clim qui s'arrête au bout de 12h, la clim qui est réglée à 18 par les femmes de ménage, une sonnerie breve qui nous réveille toutes les nuits à 2h du matin jusqu'à ce qu'on déconnecte tous les équipements - le restaurant de plage non inclus dans le tout inclus - le panier repas Sea Box, pourrait être bien s'il n'était pas tous les jours le même .

Soggiorno passato nel totale relax, Ottimo Cibo dalla colazione alla cena, molto variegato e di Qualità, per finire con i dolci Squisiti. Personale di servizio della Reception Cortese, accogliente e disponibile. Un plauso al Direttore del Ristorante e tutti gli chef, compresi i camerieri educati e disponibili. Un caro saluto a Grazia e Domi le signore delle pulizie di una bontà unica. Un caro saluto anche a Tony del resort, Mariagrazia e Caterina Autista del trenino! Cosa non mi è piaciuto? Gli ospiti... Alcuni di loro non tutti logicamente, non rispettando gli altri nella sala ristorante, non facendo la fila, che poi fila di 20 secondi a persona per scegliere la pietanza da prendere, passando avanti con no chalance. Per Finire la mia recensione Un caro Saluto a tutti voi dalla stanza 116 che ha soggiornato da voi dal 18 al 24 Agosto 2024 e spero di tornare presto a trovarvi per le prossime vacanze estive. Gianluca e famiglia.

Ruhige Anlage zum Entspannen

Die Anlage liegt am Randes eines Pinienwaldes und die Bungalow (Suites) sind grossflächig verteilt, so dass es genügend Privatsphäre gibt. Generell ist di Anlage eher rugig. Das "Nachtleben findet in benachbarten Alagen statt die mitbenutzt werden können. Das Essen findet in einem klimatsierten Raum statt. Das Buffet ist sehr abwechlungsreich. Der Pool ist mit Salzwasser gefüllt. Der Strand leider nur mit einem Shuttle-Bus erreichbar. Die Fahrt dauert 20 Minuten.

Vacanza fantastica per chi cerca relax è un villaggio completamente immerso nel verde, con camere super spaziose, cucina ottima e piscina comoda per i bambini. La spiaggia è lontana, bisogna prendere un trenino, ma devo dire di non aver mai avuto problemi! Tutto ovunque è molto spazioso e curato, anche se le camere e qualche punto della struttura non sembrano essere nuovi, meriterebbero una “rinfrescata”. I servizi offerti come ristoranti/sport/attrezzature per il mare sono ottimi.

Vacanza a cinque stelle in uno scenario da favola

Inizialmente la nostra vacanza avrebbe dovuto svolgersi presso alborea...poco prima di partire siamo stati contattati dal kalidria che ci ha proposto uno spostamento presso la loro struttura omaggiandoci di un percorso spa ed assicurandoci di ottenere gli stessi servizi e vantaggi prenotati precedentemente. La nostra esperienza è stata super positiva. Struttura di lusso, spazi ben curati, camera spaziosa, ben arredata, ricca di ogni comfort. Sono stati sei giorni all’insegna del relax e del benessere. Fantastico il percorso spa. Ho trovato molto vantaggioso il servizio di accompagnamento alla spiaggia e di gran gusto il cibo è il servizio presso i ristoranti. La spiaggia pulita e ben attrezzata, mare stupendo. Piacevole scoperta è stato l’incontro col grande Vasco Rossi...non è una cosa da tutti i giorni. Meravigliose le piscine e le vasche idromassaggio da poter utilizzare in qualsiasi momento della giornata. Vacanza a cinque stelle in uno scenario da favola. Consigliatissimo per le coppie e per le famiglie grazie anche alla possibilità di poter assistere agli spettacoli presso i villaggi attigui facenti parte della riserva naturale nella quale la struttura è immersa. Prezzi vantaggiosi grazie all’ottimo servizio di Hotels.com
