The staff were very helpful and kind. The room was very spacious, and the balcony was an added bonus! Being from the U.S., I was surprised to learn that there is a fee per person per day for the pool and a separate fee for the beach too! But overall, a great stay!

With an ocean view room, this property is amazing

A little close to the railway line but if in a room facing the ocean, no noise issues. Great staff. A little expensive for what you get. Watch the added resort fee of Euro 40 each to use the pool & pricate beach facilities etc

Lovely property in a beauty location overlooking the sea. Kind and helpful staff. Big clean rooms. Comfy bed. My ONLY request/recommendation would be to have some small diabetic non-sugar option available for breakfast - cheese, ham, egg - anything non-sugary. Otherwise, a perfect stay!

Very difficult to find your way there

It was a one night stay on our way to Bologna. Place was very clean and the receptionist was very kind but NO COFFEE again in the room. Or easy access to get a coffee. FULL BREAKFAST was very well done, however. Also, the location is very very difficult to find especially after dark - not enough lights around and we were there end of October. Restaurant was closed and again - there was absolutely nothing around in October without having to get into the car - it would have been so stressful to have to find our way back.

Ottimo hotel. Peccato per la ferrovia che passa subito dietro. Meglio scegliere le camere fronte mare anche se costano qualcosa in più. Gentilissimi sia il signore alla reception, sia la cameriera di sala. Ottimo il ristorante.

un po' disorganizzato ma gradevole

hotel pulito e confortevole, con ascensore e letti comodi. Gentile il personale. Ottima la posizione sul mare e curata la piscina con giardino intorno. Di qualità gli spettacoli serali, abbiamo molto apprezzato che abbiano assunto una compagnia teatrale locale (peraltro davvero bravissimi). Unico neo la scarsa organizzazione riscontrata in diversi momenti : ad esempio per niente chiaro il meccanismo club per usufruire del mare e della piscina (e di cui nessuno ci aveva messo a conoscenza) e durante la colazione occorre chiedere e pazientare per avere i prodotti esauriti.

Al nostro arrivo siamo stati trasferiti nella loro struttura adiacente Le Sale comunicandoci di averci accordato un upgrade sulla camera. E va bene. Ma purtroppo le foto del buffet trovate sul sito non corrispondono alla realtà, e la sig. Angela ci ha confermato che tali foto solo state fatte in occasione di alcune cerimonie. Quindi come buffet troverete solo verdure!!!! Per il resto non manca la pulizia e gentilezza del personale.

Ottimo soggiorno

In generwke la camera mi è sembrata molto funzionale, con tutti i servizi e anche molto pulita; unica pecca la moquette sul pavimento ancora non rimossa. L'hotel ha l'aspetto nuovo, ma la camera con quella moquette perde tutto il suo fascino. In generale un ottimo soggiorno; bellissimo il panorama che si vede dal balcone: da qualsiasi punto è possibile vedere il mare.

Sarebbe più logico poter restare qualche giorno

In viaggio di spostamento da Nord a Sud Italia. Pertanto, giunto in zona, richiesta sistemazione - offerta a Hôtels.com. La sosta di una sola notte non ci ha permesso di godere ed apprezzare tutto quello che abbiamo notato essere i servizi e le sistemazioni di vacanza offerte dalla struttura. Comunque immagine cash positiva.
