This hotel is beautiful and staff was super friendly. Everything was clean and property kept up. Breakfast had a good variety nothing fancy but a little bit of everything. Only downfall is location is away from city center so catching a cab a little pricey.... I would definitely stay here again

The ocean access is great but the facilities are old and worn out. It’s a resort so they will try to squeeze out every cent out of you. Only one receptionist was polite (a bald man with tattoos) and professional. The rest were rude and dismissive, they wouldn’t even look up or make eye contact. I asked for some food at the bar and the barista got offended that she got it wrong and blamed me for it, then spoke to me like I was stupid as if I couldn’t properly communicate in English. Mistakes happen, but one has to know to be gracious to accept them.

The room was modernized and very clean. The daily breakfast was well organized with a good selection. The hotel felt overly subdued in that there were no live entertainment. We did not see any staff or people out by the pool or at the beach. While we understand that it’s off season, it would be nice to have coffee and bar service in the middle part of the day. The hotel needs new carpet and landscaping. A lot of dead vegetation and shrubs.

This is a Beach Club with accomodation. The property facilities are just below ok. A very fast renovation (carpets and some walls) would make this a fantastic property for all. But what's nice and breathtaking is the beach. Not a Caribbean beach but a clear and clean water with a perfect temperature. Bare in mind that the day you are checking out they won't allow you to go to the beach. And you can only use it after checking in. So you will lose a day of beach club access. And beach club staff clearly differentiate residents (there are some houses around) from hotel visitors. Although they send you at the end of the beach it is not necessarily a bad location (a bit far from the bar but 3 minutes walking slow). Breakfast is perfect. Great Italian and international dishes with lots of great Italian coffee. In conclusion, we liked it. You will enjoy it as it is a great experience for the price.

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.
