Great property, but it is helpful to have a car. Taxis are very expensive. Bus to Bari is a doable option. David was helpful at the pool and reception bar. Breakfast is well managed —and tasty. Cleaning staff was helpful and kind. Antonio in animation was EXTREMELY helpful with kids!

In its prime, this would have been a wonderful hotel. Close to the beach and amenities. It needs a bit of love and a good coat of paint. The room was not cleaned to a high standard, dust on the window sills. The blanket and sheets had yellow stains on it from body fluids. Staff was lovely enough but hotel needs some TLC

This was the most disappointing stay I’ve ever had. It’s a very tired hotel and much of the facilities were shutting down. Day time food was either non existent or poor. Hotel couldn’t organise a hire car. Taxis were impossible and although the hotel shuttle was available it cost every time . I spent over €130 on shuttles. Would not recommend to anyone

The hotel was lovely but too far from Bari city centre. Buses do not run on a Sunday to and from hotel to Bari and taxis are around €50 each way. Shuttle to and from airport convenient for €25. Breakfast very good for a buffet with twinning tea which is a bonus. Rooms are lovely but unfortunately if you like a cup of tea or coffee when you wake up there is no facilities in the room. I bought a small kettle as i had my own tea bags. They did have a hairdryer for us ladies though.

The property was nice, the beach area very quaint. The animatori were playing music and dancing. Hotel staff directed us to Giovinazzo for dinner which had a bunch of great options. The rooms were dated, mattress too firm but all around spacious.

The beach is not nice. Huge rocks, not easy to swim. Hard to get into pool. Only 1 small opening to get in. Inconvenient. Restaurant is mediocre. I had lobster pasta with tomato sauce and had to dig lobster out. The tail was non-existent, so pratically missing, and little meat. Got sauce all over my hands. Very messy. Room is small and my bathroom shower mat was wet before i even used it. For the price of $250 Canadian, this was a rip off.

The ocean access is great but the facilities are old and worn out. It’s a resort so they will try to squeeze out every cent out of you. Only one receptionist was polite (a bald man with tattoos) and professional. The rest were rude and dismissive, they wouldn’t even look up or make eye contact. I asked for some food at the bar and the barista got offended that she got it wrong and blamed me for it, then spoke to me like I was stupid as if I couldn’t properly communicate in English. Mistakes happen, but one has to know to be gracious to accept them.

The room was modernized and very clean. The daily breakfast was well organized with a good selection. The hotel felt overly subdued in that there were no live entertainment. We did not see any staff or people out by the pool or at the beach. While we understand that it’s off season, it would be nice to have coffee and bar service in the middle part of the day. The hotel needs new carpet and landscaping. A lot of dead vegetation and shrubs.
