I had the suite with the jacuzzi and dinner reservations at the restaurant but arrived on a very windy day. Not only did they warn me ahead of time, they were super accommodating once I got there and gave me options as I would not have been able to use the jacuzzi that day. The restaurant was closed but they went out of their way to give me a private tour so I could take photos and videos. Everyone was super sweet, and I will definitely come back! Do yourself a favor and stay here; you will NOT regret it one bit. One of the best experiences of my life to date, even with the wind. ##### Pratiti ### 6/10 Okay #### Suren 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities The place is beautiful. The staff is the best. The property itself is very well located but other than the views which are amazing, the hotel doesn't have any amenities that justify how much they charge a night. The other thing that didn't make sense to me is that there is no pool or beach access. If you want, you can pay $50 per person and they will take you to their other hotel 3km away. Do they really need to charge for that, just included in the price per night, that would have made more sense to me. Lastly eating in the restaurant, which is expensive as well, it was a magical experience. In summary, I will go back to the restaurant but not the hotel ##### Suren Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marjan 18 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Stunning view/ mediocre service Price of rooms reflect an unmatched view and location. But the quality of breakfast and dinner were disappointing. If you like a stale croissant with the most amazing view for 50 euros- this is the hotel. Importantly, the worst part of the hotel was the staff. No one went beyond greeting to do anything. The parking is an absolute nightmare to figure out and the hotel never emailed or made us aware of the circumstances. So all around, not the best value for the incredibly expensive price- other than the view. Our daughter wanted to come join us for one night, and not only was the hotel completely reluctant to provide a cot, they would not even allow her to come with us in the shuttle to the beach. All five of our family members took a van, while our daughter had to take a TukTuk motorcycle to the beach, where she was also prohibited from entering due to “full capacity”, but there were at least 50% open chairs and umbrellas. The hotel staff was so unwilling to help us find a solution to our daughter having no where to sleep for the night to the point where we felt genuinely uncomfortable with her even entering the hotel with us. We offered to pay extra money for her to enter the beach, or shuttle, or even another cot, but they were unmovable. It was not so much that the policy was so severe, but that the service was so unwilling to assist us in alternative solutions. Our stay was fine until this stain of an experience. ![Empty beach chairs ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CF95C831EC117FBA92C3B55691F47A891FC4F0DF1660832154181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful view from our room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12EA9C0D3F05BBE880E97979295C06D2B204C5F41660832125675.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marjan Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rukia 12 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities For anyone reading this, just know that if you want to book here, you are paying a LOT of money for the setting NOT the food, drink or service. The food was good but not €200 for three courses(!!!) good. Both the starter and main came out lukewarm and bland. The dessert took 1h to come after the main course even with me asking numerous times for it. The drinks were ridiculous with a €6-8 beer charged at €45 and a bottle of water for €10. The service however was the worst element of the whole experience. No greeting as you arrived or left, staff wearing face masks on their chins, they were ultimately slow and inattentive. The whole meal took us three hours with lots of waiting and the disappointment in the service ruined the overall experience. The views were great but they could only compensate so much for purely bad service and in the end, it really wasn’t worth it. I also stayed at the hotel. The room was clean and spacious but overpriced and there were many other hotels nearby that were much better value, with more character and I’d have gotten much more for my money. Again, the staff were poor. Mediocre reception to our arrival, no hotel tour of where to find the amenities - we were bluntly told there is no bar when we asked but no friendly recommendation of something in the vicinity. If I could redo the whole thing, I wouldn’t stay at the hotel because really it’s a restaurant with a hotel - not a hotel with a restaurant (if that makes sense). ##### Rukia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### eduardo a 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Maravilhoso o hotel ##### eduardo a Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PEDRO N 26 Jun 2025 ##### PEDRO N Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miriam 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view from our room.

It is amazing! Yes, expensive, but the property is unique, and worth it! An unforgetable experience. The staff bends over backwards to take care of your every need. The rooms have views looking right down to the grotto and out to the Adriatic Sea. Like being on a cruise ship. Our room was one of the most modern I've ever stayed in with remote controlled lighting, curtains, music and climate control. The amenities are all top-notch. The town of Polignano a Mare is beautiful. About 35 minutes south of Bari. The people are so friendly. We ate at the restaurant in the cave below the hotel and had a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. I was a little concerned based on some online reviews about the restaurant, but don't let those scare you away, definitely check it out. The restaurant staff was 10/10, with multiple people tending to us through the amazing meal. If you are coming to Italy this place should be on your list of stops. ##### George Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin 25 Apr 2025 ##### Karin Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Spa Hotels in Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hilton-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d3000000407-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kivilcim Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Kivilcim-Hotel.h13430377.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Nugget Lake Charles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Charles-Hotels-Golden-Nugget-Lake-Charles.h9524374.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Caravan-Parks.d7583-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Excelsior Bari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bari-Hotels-Hotel-Excelsior-Bari.h2602604.Hotel-Information) > > [Winery Hotels in Douro Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Douro-Valley-Hotels-Winery-Hotels.0-0-d6055559-tWineryHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-United-Kingdom.d190.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Cottage Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brockenhurst-Hotels-Cottage-Lodge-Hotel.h2283725.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Novotel-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h11951003.Hotel-Information) > > [Pollicastro Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lecce-Hotels-Pollicastro-Boutique-Hotel.h55316516.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Northern Ireland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northern-Ireland-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d11221-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hostels Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hostels.d179899-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [JR Hotels Bari Grande Albergo delle Nazioni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bari-Hotels-JR-Hotels-Bari-Grande-Albergo-Delle-Nazioni.h5321116.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Dreams-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa.h2941578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo Papaleo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Otranto-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-Papaleo.h1775829.Hotel-Information) > > [Debambú Larios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Hotels-Debambu-Larios.h14682797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near The National Archives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-National-Archives-Hotels.0-l553248621555971284-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cresta Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Altrincham-Hotels-Best-Western-Manchester-Altrincham-Cresta-Court-Hotel.h18600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Château Tilques](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tilques-Hotels-Najeti-Hotel-Chateau-Tilques.h1060699.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Hotels in Swansea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Marina-Hotel.0-0-d9958-tmarinahotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from New Orleans (MSY) to Austin (AUS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/msy/aus/new-orleans-to-austin) > > [Flights from Charlotte (CLT) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/clt/man/charlotte-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Cluj-Napoca (CLJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/clj/manchester-to-cluj-napoca) > > [Flights from Kirkwall (KOI) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/koi/gla/kirkwall-to-glasgow) ### Cars > [Europcar Car Rentals In Dartford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europcar-Car-Rentals-In-Dartford.d4620-c14.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car hire near Dubrovnik Ferry Port](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Dubrovnik-Ferry-Port.d6292988.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Sukosan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Sukosan.d6084529.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Malvarrosa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malvarrosa-Beach-Poblats-Maritims.d6160800.Attraction)
