Overall Ratings & Reviews CDSHotels Pietrablu Resort & SPA

Very small room, food was sub par. Not my favorite place. I wouldn’t stay here again!

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.

Lovely resort on water clean and comfortable rooms

The hotel had a good location with pool and private beach. Buffet breakfast was also included. After Rome, it was a nice place to relax and take in the sites on the coast.

Good place for short stay.

Good place

Breakfast was not great.

Not accommodating to the guests! After being in many places

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.

Very friendly and helpful staff, some of them standout so much that I needed to learned their names to mention them in review... 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.

There is no way this is a 4 star resort. More like 1-2 stars. This place has no soul, no atmosphere and even its staff come across like they don't want to be there. Where do I start ...so many issues - it's outdated and shabby. See pic of couch with tape used to hold it together. Furniture is at least 50 yrs old and not good. Also a flimsy stupid collapsing shower thing. - I got food poisoning from their dinner buffet (i thi k it was the fish), they didn't care, didn't apologise, didn't ask if I needed anything. Just left me vomiting and with diarrhea all alone in my room. Cold and heartless. And it's in an isolated location so I could not get help or go to a pharmacy without a car. - there staff don't seem to like working there, particularly reception staff who are cold, robotic, inflexible and uncaring about customers. Or maybe they just don't like foreigners from outside Italy... - not value for the nightly price. Definitely not a 4 star hotel even though priced as. - dreadful wifi, it drops out every 2 mins and didn't work for two nights. Again, reception staff didn't care. - the red and white wine they had on tap was like drinking acid. Sacrilege fir southern Italy where there are some beautiful low cost wines. But again this hotel doesn't care about its customers experience and just buys the nasty less than cheap product. Sadly people drink it because there is no other choice as the resort is isolated id dont have car. Dont waste your money here.

This is a good place for people coming there on car. There is a shuttle running every hour to Polignano a Mare, but they have a breake between 12 and 3pm. On Sundays there are no shuttles or even taxis at all.

Kids lovet free running rabbits. Nice gardens and the room was ok with nice see view.

It was perfect for families had a lot of activity for kids . It was cute kids dance with adults until 12 am. Had Dj . People to entertain the kids. 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 .

Beautiful grounds. We trult enjoyed our stay under all-inclusive basis. Delicious food and kind and hospitable staff. Great for families!

Great location & all inclusive aloud us to enjoy the beach more!

We were overcgarged close to 600$US per night for 4 nights. We were this to the attention of expedia and the hotel booking office with no positive outcome.

The area was more than amazing however the resort was a little disappointing. I booked this place mainly to suit my 18month toddler butt there were absolutely nothing for her to do there. The one pool which was open was freezing cold and although the restaurant service was nice and staff were great there was no catering for kids. The food was acceptable but very repeatative.

Totally overpriced for what it is. Not to the usual 4 say standard. Rooms need updating & beds are AWEFUL, rock hard!! Caters hugely to German/French/Italian clients, sometimes some of the staff appeared offended when we spoke to them in English. Very good for young families & the very mature, not a couples resort. Although reception staff & some bar staff spoke English, if you struggle with the Latin language, you may struggle at times with communication. All inclusive is still restricted to set times for meals & snacks. Buffet was hit & miss. Would've expected food to be more authentically Italian but only experienced that on some days. A great asset to the resort is the frequent shuttle into Polignano, fab to get into the main town to do things as nothing around hotel. Their driver Yari is fab, gave us great tips & information. If you want to do sightseeing excursions, unless there is a min. of 4, you can't go, we missed out on the caves & we ended up sorting our own tours. It's beach is not really a beach, to get into the sea you have to obstacle over rocks & sharp stones, did not bother in the end which is a shame as that's the whole reason we chose this hotel. Would advise booking a taxi from the airport to the resort as no other way to get there the nearest station is in the main town - Bari Airport Transfer were really good & reasonable. The resort did grow on us daily, we made the most of our stay & over all did enjoy ourselves but just felt we over payed for it all

All inclusive was fantastic. Plenty of food and drinks!
