Great place to stay by yourself or with others

Popilia was an incredible place to stay. Eveything about the resort is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and was always very helpful. The rooms are comfortable and immaculately kept. The grounds are also meticulously maintianed. The pools is huge and makes you feel like you are in the Caribbean. The restaurant is also very good. If i had to give one criticism it would be to have a wider selection of food options for lunch or dinner. Otherwise 10 out of 10!!

Das Apartment war groß, sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet – besonders positiv war, dass Geschirrtuch und Spülmittel bereitgestellt wurden. Weniger praktisch war allerdings, dass grundlegende Dinge wie Salz und Öl in der Küche fehlten. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und überzeugt mit einem schönen, großen Schwimmbad. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, aber nichts Besonderes. Etwas irritierend war der Checkout: Für im Pool benutzte Handtücher wurde unangekündigt eine Gebühr von 3 € pro Stück (für Nutzung und Reinigung) berechnet – fraglich, ob das zu einem 4-Sterne-Resort passt.

Il Popilia è una garanzia! ♥️ Ho soggiornato da sola con mia figlia di 5 anni e appena arrivate ci siamo subito sentite accolte e a nostro agio. In passato ho soggiornato nella camera in hotel, questa volta invece, con mia figlia, ho scelto il cottage con angolo cottura, molto confortevole e curato nei dettagli (stoviglie, pulizia ottima, etc). Durante il soggiorno, ho scelto di fare un massaggio con Giulia ed essendo nel settore ho subito notato la sua bravura nella manualità e nelle spiegazioni dettagliate. In quell’ora ho lasciato mia figlia con Melissa, la responsabile del MiniClub: super professionale e bravissima, ci sa proprio fare con i bambini. Dafne si è divertita tantissimo con lei disegnando, pitturando e giocando al parco giochi. Il ristorante offre piatti ottimi, colazione ricca e personale gentilissimo. Anche il bar della piscina è molto piacevole, con personale cortese e disponibile. Una sera di notte abbiamo avuto un piccolo problema con un grillo in stanza e Noemi della reception ci ha aiutato subito, dimostrandosi super disponibile (io purtroppo non sono stata capace di farlo uscire 😅) L’unica piccola nota: nel miniclub dovrebbe esserci anche un po’ di baby dance, qualcosa di diverso.. ed inoltre, dovrebbe essere più pubblicizzato (magari in reception) perché molti genitori neanche lo sapevano.. Nel complesso, il soggiorno è stato eccellente e lo consigliamo senza dubbio! Il Popilia, come dicevo ad inizio recensione, è sempre una garanzia ♥️

Nella collina ma ad un passo dal mare.

Esperienza indubbiamente positiva. Ottima la posizione, struttura elegante e confortevole, personale educato e cortese. Secondo me da migliorare è l'offerta a colazione, troppo bassa per la categoria e manca un bollitore con the e caffè istantaneo in camera.
