4/10 Fair

Stay anywhere but at this hotel!

This hotel claims it is five star, more like 3 Star. Great location and that's it. Staff need more training, when you ask for anything, their go to answer is "Sorry No" It started at check in, we had to carry our own suitcases from our car to the hotel, we were given the wrong WIFI password and thigs just deteriorated from her. Breakfast, is minimal, there is no bar so you cannot even get a pre-dinner cocktail! most of the staff were terse, they look like they are bored and when you ask for anything, it seems to be a chore. My wife and I stayed for five nights and were very disappointed

Don’t miss this gem !

From the personalized greeting as we entered the property, to being welcomed as we parked. Every step of the reception process was exceptional and professional. Check-in was quick Rooms were outstanding The view is priceless The complementary shuttle between the hotel and downtown, whether you’re visiting the restaurant, or just spending time exploring.. the shuttle service was an unexpected bonus Every time we returned to our rooms, they had been reset cleaned and organized, as if we were arriving for the very first time Super professional staff, I am looking forward to the next visit already!

The beach at this property is not private. They share this beach with the adjoining beach club and it was incredibly busy.

Beach was fantastic!!! BUT beware they charge you an additional 200€ per room and per day to use the beach facility despite you paying the hotel room. You need car or taxi to get to old town.

I would only give 5 stars because of the cleaning staff! Those ladies are wonderful and work around the clock. As for everything else, very average.

This hotel is excellent for resting. There is no bar, no area with music nor entertaining program. The bathrooms are very small, uncomfortable and inconvenient for the price. However, the hotel and the surroundings are beautiful, very clean, quiet, and has the best staff.
Eduardo, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The service was slow and not good. The hotel shares the private beach with a club that plays music all day. Nothing private here.
Silke, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were very pleased with this property. However, they charge. 200 euros for beach service, which came as a surprise since it’s a Beach Hotel. Otherwise 5 stars. Not really sure whose fault this is Expedia or the hotel for not being g more clear.
Afsaneh, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were traveling with 2 other families. One family had to cancel last minute because her cancer came back and she ended up in the hospital doing emergency radiation. The hotel was so unaccomodating and refused to refund them. All they offered was “Their policy”. I would never stay there or recommend it. Not to mention there’s no pool and the beach was full of kids. There was some sort of summer camp going on.
Jamie, 2-night trip

Check in was slow and manual and overall service slow. Also, the hotel beach area was covered in seaweed and we could not swim

First night room got completely flooded with rain water. Ac never worked dispute staff came to fix it. The whole room smell like drain water (poop). I told the staff 3 times. They did nothing. Extremely expensive for their service and accommodations. Will not recommend or stay again
alexia, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We came to the hotel and the deluxe room are simply cheapest motel for $50 then we upgrade $1100 a night to the suite. Suites Recondition was not working in every room. There are moving us from one room to another, but still AC is not working. The manager is not in his place instead of helping and resolve the problem. He was clawless. Be careful outside on the steps to the beach because it’s slippery and people falling down.
Gennady, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Customer service was terrible. Didn’t clean our room. Paid for the most expensive suite and AC was broken. Hardly any accommodation was offered other than a fan in the room. The manager promised to call us to rectify the situation and never called, also ignored our call when I tried to reach him. Zero amenities. Claims their beach is private but it is definitely open to the public. Our private jacuzzi had green/yellow algae stains so it definitely was never cleaned or treated. Overall awful experience for how much we spent. Limited staff. Had to ask for service at the beach and remind them to bring us our complimentary waters. Honestly nothing good to say, so disappointed.
Liana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the city the first night and then came to stay at the beach the next 2 nights. I called to arrive early since we had to check out of our city hotel. Alberto answered and said he would try to arrange this although checkin was at 3pm. Alberto called back shortly afterwards and said they could accommodate an early check in. When we arrived, Alberto greeted us, checked us in quickly and then showed us to our wonderful room. We had some concerns because some of the reviews mentioned air conditioning issues. Our room was very clean and the AC unit was fairly new. The air conditioning worked great. Giusepe from the restaurant was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had incredible breakfasts and really excellent dinners. One night we had dinner at the Grotto restaurant at the sister hotel in the city. The shuttle was free since we were staying at the sister property. The restaurant view and food at the Grotto in the city was expensive but well worth the visit. The food, atmosphere and service were impeccable. At the hotel, the service was perfect. Great beach, views and service. Free water was provided which is nice when you are at the beach and hotel in Europe. The sunrise and beach view were amazing. We extended another night. The morning we left, the staff put together a wonderful breakfast for us to eat on the train to Naples. We will remember the service, views, accommodation and atmosphere until the next time we come!
