La Padda - La Colba

The resort is beautiful. The beach is amazing. One of the best on the island. The only down side is the price of food and drinks. Breakfast is included which in great. Drinks at the bar are outrageously expensive. 25$ euros for 1/2 a cup of wine. 30$ euros for a medium sized cheese pizza. We are from San Diego and are used to high prices but this was ridiculous. Especially since none of the neighboring restaurants or bars charge such high rates. For example We had a very nice dinner in neighboring San Teodoro for 4 people with 3 apps, 4 main courses, 2 desserts, and 2 bottles of wine for 220$ euros. At the hotel the bar and restaurant (aside from breakfast ) are always very empty and I think the high prices must be why. So yes stay here, but drink and eat lunch and dinner elsewhere.

Nice hotel, good sized rooms. Unfortunately some of its facilities were not operational such as the beach club, second (beachfront) restaurant). Air conditioning in the room did not work. Staff seemed functional but not particularly welcoming. Perhaps they felt it was the end of the season. Maybe they should fully function and then close rather than stay half open.
