Loved the entire property. Nice rooms, pool, parking, and breakfast. There were 2 large groups staying there so they needed to figure out the dining a bit better. A group of 100 and another 35 were there so they set up for dinner for them and forgot about the other 10-12 guests but eventually ( once said we needed a place too) set up some tables outside for us.

It hurts to give middling ratings. The staff and mgmt were friendly and helpful (eg, they gave me a room close to the reception check-in, they provided transport to the train station when no other option was available). The problem is while the crew might be good they need to run a tighter ship, The property is showing its age, it’s up the hill from the town and is oriented to large groups. As a solo, shoulder season guest, we, the few, are lost in the cracks of pre-season prep.

The best part of this resort is the restaurant. Donato our waiter was awesome and friendly. He went above and beyond to please us. He made our meal that much better. The food is outstanding. Everything we ate was delicious. The room was okay but we did experience some mold in the bathroom. When we told the staff, he just shrugged it off like it was nothing. One of the restaurants was closed for good and the resort had limited events. We only stayed one night so it was okay.

Disappointing, but with very accommodating staff.

We booked two nights for a quiet get away in the South of Italy. The region was lovely, but the hotel was not what we were hoping for. It was a resort hotel, and if you are travelling with children this would be a lovely place to stay, with lots for them to do and a very nice pool. We were in a room right next to some very loud entertainment that went on quite late into the night. The management were very accommodating, and moved us to another room. Unfortunately, this new room had a faulty air conditioning unit and the room door did not lock. Again the management were very accommodating, but it was an annoyance. When we arrived, we were instructed to go down to the pool area for a welcome drink. This was a very sweet, fruity drink (only about two mouthfuls) and unnecessary. Overall a disappointment for us.

A good place to stay in Leucas!

Staff is very pleasant and very professional. I had a double bedroom (they have flats too) a bit old fashion but clean, and cleaned daily. The view from the pool is amazing. Only downside the pool is salty, which is not the best experience when coming back from the sea. Breakfast is great, you have pretty much everything.

Nice hotel

Was a very nice hotel in a great location with some spectacular views! The staff are friendly and helpful, although when we arrived we parked in the north car park and carried our luggage all the way to reception. We were then given a room close to the north car park so we had to carry our luggage all the way back up again and the member of staff that showed us to our room didn't offer to help which was very disappointing. Overall was a lovely hotel and is great if you have a family.

Breakfast not great.

We had a nice quiet few days at Messapia. It was very hard to find but once we'd located it we were happy enough. It's not the most luxurious place on earth but it's clean. The breakfast wasn't much to speak of. Would have liked more fruit/cheese/meat options alongside the cakes, pastries and cereals (which I rarely eat). Otherwise it was an enjoyable stay at a very quiet time of year.

Not a true 4 stars

I can only imagine that they got the 4 star rating only because they classifies as a "resort" but be aware that it is very different from what you could expect from a 4 stars resort in the American way. Location and cleaness are great, really cute structure. The rooms though are quite bad. No windows,only a French door entrance that functional door and as the only window. Furniture and decor is quite poor in quality and taste. It is a clean and safe place though, just not luxurious at all and not what you'd expect from a 4 stars rated structure.

Soggiorno nella media, stanze non eccessivamente pulite, prive di kit di cortesia, li abbiamo richiesti alla reception. Colazione modesta e non di qualità, i succhi sembravano allungati con acqua. Le torte non erano sufficienti per tutti gli ospiti.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. L’établissement est sympa et atypique, avec une jolie décoration et une grande piscine très agréable pour se détendre. Cependant, quelques points négatifs sont à noter : notre chambre était située juste à côté des cuisines, et elle était assez mal insonorisée, ce qui a rendu les nuits un peu bruyantes. De plus, la piscine n’était accessible qu’avec un bonnet de bain, ce qui peut être contraignant pour certains. Concernant le petit déjeuner, il est inférieur à ce que nous avons pu connaître dans d’autres hôtels. Dans l’ensemble, c’est un hôtel plaisant, surtout si vous cherchez un cadre agréable et atypique pour profiter de la piscine et de la ville.

Beau : oui - Bon : non

Le cadre est beau certes, mais contrairement à ce qui est indiqué : il n'y a pas de wifi dans les chambres !! Uniquement à l'accueil et à la piscine. Les chambres donnent sur un petit patio à partager avec la chambre voisine et compte tenu du passage devant les chambres il faut tirer les rideaux pour avoir un peu d'intimité ! Le buffet du petit déjeuner semble bon mais la foccacia était rassie, aucun fruit frais. La vue de ma chambre : locaux techniques et électriques et tuyaux en tout genre, loin de l'esprit de qualité, quand à avoir une autre chambre... impossible. Eviter les chambres en 100......., pour moi a éviter tout à fait.
