Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Among all the staff only 2 people gave us good service, the reception Rosella and Ana Maria, the rest of the staff doesn't speak English and doesn't bother to try communicating as I could speak some Italian but big difference on treatment if you are Italian.

This is a Beach Club with accomodation. The property facilities are just below ok. A very fast renovation (carpets and some walls) would make this a fantastic property for all. But what's nice and breathtaking is the beach. Not a Caribbean beach but a clear and clean water with a perfect temperature. Bare in mind that the day you are checking out they won't allow you to go to the beach. And you can only use it after checking in. So you will lose a day of beach club access. And beach club staff clearly differentiate residents (there are some houses around) from hotel visitors. Although they send you at the end of the beach it is not necessarily a bad location (a bit far from the bar but 3 minutes walking slow). Breakfast is perfect. Great Italian and international dishes with lots of great Italian coffee. In conclusion, we liked it. You will enjoy it as it is a great experience for the price.

This hotel was a great stop-over for one night, my only wish is that I had more time to spend there. The grounds a beautiful, it’s got a nice big pool and it’s right on the beach. Dinner and breakfast were great.

Hotel was clean and staff friendly and helpful. We did think the beach would be more prominent even around Oct 1. Weather would have worked however, seaweed was prominent along with little access to a sandy beach. We may not have realized that much of the Adriatic cost in this area is rocky with a few sandy spots.
