Solid budget stay

Hotel seems to cater for large tour groups on buses so breakfast tended to be very busy. The other guests were largely 60+ age group so not a family focused hotel. Location was a short drive to the town for dinner. Hotel seems well Maintained even if the rooms are a little dated it appears to be well looked after.

This hotel and the staff were very nice! The only reason I am rating it four stars is because I don't think families are their target guest population. It seemed like they had some kind of contract with an elderly bus tour company. There were several large tour buses that came in and out during our stay. My family and I stayed for several days and we were the only family we saw. The average age of everyone we saw was 65+. And we saw dozens of people at the pool/beach/breakfast/around the hotel. My daughter is in grade school and was very excited for the pool. So she was playing and giggling in the pool. We received many less than friendly looks from all the elderly guests trying to sleep/sunbathe. It was like this every single day my daughter swam in the pool, which was uncomfortable. She was not screaming or over the top splashing. And she was usually the only one in the large pool. At breakfast, they have all the indoor tables reserved for the bus tour groups. We ended up sitting outside due to the lack of available tables. Most of them were empty the entire time we ate, but they were still reserved. The third day they had available space for us to eat inside. Our room was very spacious and clean. And the front desk staff were kind enough to prepare a to-go breakfast box for us since we had a 0700 flight and had to leave early. If you are someone who doesn't mind dirty looks for having children who play, 10/10 recommend this hotel.

Staff were pleasant and room was lovely. Not all features advertised were available- there was no swim up bar, no pool service without going into the bar- where you are not supposed to go in swimwear, the restaurant was closed in the evening and the cafe closed at 5.30 so the only fiod option after 5.30 was to wait 2 hours and pay 35 euro per person for a buffet dinner, or go out of the hotel which required a shuttle or taxi. Also i felt that charging 10 euro per person per day for shuttle use was a bit much as most other hotels dont charge for this.

If you would like a Authentic Italian resort experience . The only thing I didn’t like was to make reservations for the two. Restaurants that was always filled but if you manage to get up early that should be ok all together we had a great time .

Katia, ( always gave a kind word for my daughter and made her feel at home by noticing her pattern of food, my daughter doesnt speak italian), Enza ( she was on the top of our food arrangements) 2 men called Vito, very helpful and they made the best coffees. We were extremely please with the room as it had 2 toilets/shower rooms and our room had a balcony with sea view to died for.... I cant wait to go in Summer. Best deal, it is to rent a car, as this place is 11 minutes from the mains places.

A really bad experience

The experience was extremely disappointing, and this hotel barely deserves a 2-star rating, let alone 4 stars. They charge extra for absolutely everything. We had to pay a €10 deposit for each towel, and the minibar prices were outrageous, with a small beer at €7 and a small bottle of water at €3. The hotel does not provide any complimentary water bottles. Leaving the premises is either through their shuttle service, which costs €10 per person per day for a mere 10-minute ride, or by renting bikes, which they also charge for. The bars and restaurants are extremely uninviting, furnished with cheap plastic furniture and lit with harsh, bright lighting reminiscent of an ER. The overall condition of the facilities is terrible and worn down, and any equipment available for borrowing or renting is of poor quality. Even the private beach is disappointing, which is quite an achievement considering the general beauty of the Puglia coast. We did not encounter a single friendly staff member. They acted annoyed if we asked for any assistance or even ordered a coffee in the morning. As a final insult, they refused to help us book transport to the airport, which is about 40 minutes from the hotel. Avoid this place at all costs. I cannot fathom how this hotel has a 4.4 rating on Google; it must be fake reviews.
