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.

Wonderful but a little remote
This hotel was amazing but is quite isolated. I believe a note should be on their website to advise that own transport is recommended. Nearest shop of any kind is over 5km away. Aside from this beautiful grounds, rooms, amenities, great restaurant and bar , breakfast superb. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I will go back but will hire a car.

Superb escape in the Italian sunshine. Booked for the pool and proximity to Bari but barely used the pool (although lovely when we did) and our taxi to and from Bari was ridiculously expensive and wouldn’t recommend doing. The beach club area was BRILLIANT! Such a wonderful space to relax, eat, drink, play games and listen to music! The room was simple but very clean and had a super comfy bed! Lovely and diverse breakfast spread and staff were delightful.

There are two problems with the hotel. One is that the small empty refrigerator in the room is constantly in the corner. You can't turn it off anywhere. The other is that there is no small safe in the room.

To go in the pool you have to wear a swimming cap, 2 euro charge. They also charge 3 euro for a towel. Restaurant was v gd, view, relaxing sun loungers. Great location. Bus to bari takes 40 mins. I would recommend

First night in Bari
The hotel was nice. The breakfast amazing. The bed was uncomfortable and made my hips hurt. We enjoyed our stay. Coming from the US we were very hungry at dinner time but the restaurant opened at 8pm. We were asleep so we went hungry and missed lunch and dinner our first day.

I stayed for 2 nights and absolutely loved the hotel property, there’s a couple things to be aware of such as the wifi ran out in our room, and if you don’t go between June-August the beach is practically closed which was disappointing.

Most of the special features of this property are either under construction or not accessible, but it was not mentioned before or apologized when I was there and inquired. The beach is not accessible as advertised and the restaurant at the “beach” is being renovated, which was very disappointing. The food at the hotel was very fresh and good, but only available at very limited hours.

The property is beautiful. The restaurant and bar are located right on the beach so you are a guaranteed an amazing view every time you visit them. However, the restaurant does not seem to have set hours. We visited the restaurant 3-4 times during our stay and every night it seemed to open at a different time. In addition, we asked multiple staff members about the restaurant and no one seemed to know when the restaurant opened; it seemed as if the restaurant operated on its own schedule. Additionally, there were a few times when a private event was held in the restaurant. When we asked for a table the staff seemed like they didn't want to seat us and even recommended riding bicycles into town (Giovinazzo) for dinner. A simple sign or some sort of notification of a private event would avoid much confusion.

We booked a classic room and received a free upgrade. The room was amazing, recently renovated. The view was towards the nicely lit swimming pool. Bed and bedding were comfortable. As for the breakfast, it was one of the best I‘ve had in Puglia. The staff is extremely friendly, constantly trying to please you. Their parking is gated and under surveillance - a big plus!

A bit old style, more for ceremonies than for business trip. The staff is a bit noisy. Good position, convenient parking, breakfast nothing memorable.

If you want a relaxing holiday this is the perfect place, the room I stayed in could do with updating, I know some of them have been so it depends what you want to pay. The staff are friendly and helpful, but maybe more information/more help would be useful if wanting to leave the hotel & eat elsewhere especially as I was travelling by myself. You can’t use the swimming pool without a swimming cap, this could be highlighted more on Hotel information but the beach area is lovely.

This was the good resort. There was a secured parking. Rooms could be better. They smelled a bit bad because of humidity. There were two restaurants. I would recommend the pizzeria. The beach was without any sand, only rocks...
