Beautiful hotel on the water. We had a room with a nice view of the bay from our small balcony. The room was small but we made it work. The staff was attentive. Breakfast was so perfect with so many beautiful options. It get crowded but they do a great job. The bar always had some one that could make you a beverage any time you walked by. We ate dinner there only once it was good. But the variety on the menu did not suit our tastes so we dinned out the other nights.
Location is nice and quiet. Staff was wonderful and the hotel grounds were pretty. super clean and well kept.

Initially we had booked just a classic room however it was old and rundown, so we upgraded to a suite with a private pool and that was next level with amazing finishes.

The view is spectacular. The pool area is beautiful but the pool is not heated. The breakfast is very good. We had a deluxe room with a large terrace and glass railings to admire the beautiful view. Loved the walk to lungomare which had some lovely restaurants and shops.I do feel, however, that the lobby could be improved upon.

Hotel is overpriced!! Small rooms, small pool, pictures are manipulated to be nice! Beach is public with the partiion for hotel use. Beach is for childern 40 cm deep. Normal high of watter is 200 m away!! And payment of 40 € asking for beach chair for what? Staff is not speaking english at all! No safe in the room!!! Handling of towels in small pool terible by lasy guy! Avoid this 4 stars hotel, it is hardly 3 stars, and price for 5 stars!!!

Nice resort on a gorgeous beach (really nice) but my expectations on the amenities of the place are below what I would consider high end stay. The place is refreshed and clean etc but basic things like an in room coffee machine, water bottles, good quality shampoo and soap, spa etc are not available or low quality at best. It needs a manager with a refined price to claim the rates I ended up paying

Can’t say enough about the staff. Very welcoming, kind and accommodating. It was my 60th birthday they surprised me with a wonderful room and champagne from the owner Túlio. The beach area is perfect for kids and adults, beautiful views! Great shower, and toiletries, fluffy towels! Love this place and can’t wait to go back!
