While the check-in staff at this hotel was very friendly—a glimmer of hope at first—it was all downhill from there. The dining experience was a disaster from start to finish: we ate three meals at the hotel, and each one was worse than the last. They never honored our reservation times, and on one occasion, we waited a full hour before anyone even took our order for lunch. The restaurant staff were completely disorganized and inattentive, and the food & beverage director clearly doesn’t understand the basics of customer service. If that weren’t enough, I had booked and paid for a “Prestige Garden View” room, only to be given a room with a small, waist-high window—hardly the experience promised or expected. This hotel is poorly managed and fails to deliver on even the most basic expectations of a luxury property. Save your money and look elsewhere—there are far better options nearby that actually know how to treat their guests.

Great Hotel

We had a very good stay in the room with a view enjoying the good restaurants, the nice SPA and the swimmingpool. We got very good service also for planing our excursions and visits to local restaurant in Rapallo. The shuttle was a very good service. From a sustainability-wise, we could have used towels and sheets a bit more/longer. The late night music on the veranda was a bit disturbing.
