It's an ok hotel. A bit run down. It's cheap and clean with a good breakfast so that's a positive. But if you do not have a car you have to rely of the rare city bus to take you to a restaurant - closest of which is about 4km away. There is a restaurant on premises but it's very limited.

In its prime, this would have been a wonderful hotel. Close to the beach and amenities. It needs a bit of love and a good coat of paint. The room was not cleaned to a high standard, dust on the window sills. The blanket and sheets had yellow stains on it from body fluids. Staff was lovely enough but hotel needs some TLC

Très déçu par rapport aux photos présentées cet hôtel est probablement parfait car prévu pour l'été. Nous sommes allés fin septembre pas de page pas de repas dehors car il faisait très froid et le restaurant ressemblait à une cantine de petites entreprises et encore je suis gentil. Rien ne ressemblait à ce que j'attendais par rapport aux photos. Je venais fêter l'anniversaire de mon épouse et ne connaissant encore rien de ce qui m'attendait j'ai demandé à la réception pour le lendemain une table intime au restaurant pour fêter l'anniversaire lorsque j'ai vu la femme la veille j'ai compris que c'était pas l'endroit idéal. Une salle impersonnel éclairé ampoules économie d'énergie, table sans nappe, mur blanc comme un préau bref en 60 voyages dans le monde jamais nous avons eu une pareille salle de restaurant. Par contre nous avons trouvé dans le village voisin de Giovinazzo un restaurant extraordinaire. D'une cuisine gastronomique égale au meilleur restaurant je le conseille vivement aux résidents qui comme nous arriverait hors saison dans un hôtel sans âme. Il s'agit du restaurant romanozz'is sur le petit port. Une soirée anniversaire inoubliable. Merci à son chef grâce auquel nous avons évité pour une pareille soirée la cantine de l'hôtel. Il faudrait que les photos soient réaliste car hors saison à éviter à tout prix

This was the most disappointing stay I’ve ever had. It’s a very tired hotel and much of the facilities were shutting down. Day time food was either non existent or poor. Hotel couldn’t organise a hire car. Taxis were impossible and although the hotel shuttle was available it cost every time . I spent over €130 on shuttles. Would not recommend to anyone

The hotel was lovely but too far from Bari city centre. Buses do not run on a Sunday to and from hotel to Bari and taxis are around €50 each way. Shuttle to and from airport convenient for €25. Breakfast very good for a buffet with twinning tea which is a bonus. Rooms are lovely but unfortunately if you like a cup of tea or coffee when you wake up there is no facilities in the room. I bought a small kettle as i had my own tea bags. They did have a hairdryer for us ladies though.

Lage mit Strand super, aber Anbindung ohne Auto an Bari nicht optimal. Kostenloser Hotel-Shuttle zum Flughafen kann nicht vor 07:30 Uhr genutzt werden. Taxifahrt zum Flughafen in Höhe von 35€ daher ggf. notwendig. Personal überwiegend sehr freundlich, aber im Restaurant überfordert. Teilweise sind die Zimmer noch nicht renoviert. In Summe ein schöner Aufenthalt und empfehlenswert.

The property was nice, the beach area very quaint. The animatori were playing music and dancing. Hotel staff directed us to Giovinazzo for dinner which had a bunch of great options. The rooms were dated, mattress too firm but all around spacious.

The beach is not nice. Huge rocks, not easy to swim. Hard to get into pool. Only 1 small opening to get in. Inconvenient. Restaurant is mediocre. I had lobster pasta with tomato sauce and had to dig lobster out. The tail was non-existent, so pratically missing, and little meat. Got sauce all over my hands. Very messy. Room is small and my bathroom shower mat was wet before i even used it. For the price of $250 Canadian, this was a rip off.

On est très loin d'un 4 étoiles. Une plage en béton alors que sur les photos on le voit pas, une chambre normale sans plus, une douche minuscule alors qu'il y a la place de faire plus grand, drôle de choix. Une piscine magnifique mais là encore déceptive, il faut un bonnet de bain, personne ne nous le dit avant d'arriver donc il faut payer et plus cher que dans le commerce, idem pour une serviette de bain, du jamais vu dans un 4 étoiles ! Le service est moyen, à un endroit on nous dit qu'on a droit au parasol et transat, on arrive sur la plage c'est non et finalement l'accueil dit oui !! Au restaurant ils se trompent sur un plat on a attendu un temps interminable pour avoir le vrai plat et pour avoir un dessert, temps d'attente de 1h30 de plus. C'est bon mais ce n'est pas non plus transcendant... Le matin petit déjeuner international mais il faut réclamer du lait !! Le café n'est pas en libre service et il faut faire la queue dès le matin bof pour un 4 étoiles !! Le dernier soir on nous fait garer dans un terrain qui ressemble plus à un terrain vague qu'à un parking avec la voiture de location. Et comme vous montrez votre mécontentement le lendemain même pas le droit à au revoir...et des petits détails douche petite et joint sale, une chaîne antivol pour fermer une grille qui enclot la piscine. La prestation ne vaut pas le tarif. La plupart des photos ne refletent pas l'état de l'hôtel. Je ne conseille vraiment pas.
