“Great hotel - newly renovated and spotless! The staff is so accomodating and helpful. Great location!”
“We stayed at this hotel for almost two weeks and it was amazing!! The rooms were newly renovated, modern and very clean. Our room had a beautiful ocean view. The staff were all so friendly and nice and always ready to help. The food was delicious and the location is right on the beach. Umbrellas and lounge chairs on the beach were great. We really enjoyed our stay. Great for families too”
“This hotel is well cared for and renovated over the years it is of a high standard inside and outside . The rooms are large and clean with good air conditioning. Car parking is on the road for free. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach and promenade across the road. The hotel also has its own lido and one of the best and well maintained lido that I have seen. The beach is clean and clear water. We ate in the restaurant one night a little bit pricey but the food is excellent and all fresh, pleasantly surprised. The one flaw of the restaurant is that it did not have much ambiance, too much lighting, no music but a TV was on In all from the Lido to front reception the restaurant & housekeepers the staff are all professional, kind and respectful.”
“This was my first time to Italy, loved it all, very clean hotel, great service. I want to thank all of the staff for making my stay so memorable. I will book it again next year .a special mention to the manager of the hotel, and to the gentleman running the seaside umbrella, and services”
