Great hotel, welcoming staff, linked to a private beach where there is a bar/restaurant. Very nice swimming pool and outside areas.

10/10 Exceptional

Great property, but it is helpful to have a car. Taxis are very expensive. Bus to Bari is a doable option. David was helpful at the pool and reception bar. Breakfast is well managed —and tasty. Cleaning staff was helpful and kind. Antonio in animation was EXTREMELY helpful with kids!

10/10 Exceptional

Superb escape in the Italian sunshine. Booked for the pool and proximity to Bari but barely used the pool (although lovely when we did) and our taxi to and from Bari was ridiculously expensive and wouldn’t recommend doing. The beach club area was BRILLIANT! Such a wonderful space to relax, eat, drink, play games and listen to music! The room was simple but very clean and had a super comfy bed! Lovely and diverse breakfast spread and staff were delightful.
Ashleigh, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Wonderful but a little remote

This hotel was amazing but is quite isolated. I believe a note should be on their website to advise that own transport is recommended. Nearest shop of any kind is over 5km away. Aside from this beautiful grounds, rooms, amenities, great restaurant and bar , breakfast superb. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I will go back but will hire a car.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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

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.

Okay but very basic.

Very basic. Pool doesn’t look like photo. Has ropes around the perimeter and your not allowed in the pool without a swimming hat! Towels have to be paid for as well as deposit left. Looked very abandoned and run down.

4/10 Fair

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.

Personnel très aimable, chambres bien propres, restaurant délicieux. Offre de boîte déjeuner car notre vol était tôt le matin. Belles installations extérieures avec beaux arbres et fleurs; mais au 26 mai la piscine n’était pas ouverte et les installations de terrasse côté mer étaient incomplètes. Tout de même je recommande cet endroit!

Una Garanzia

Ormai quando sono a Bari per lavoro soggiorno spesso in questa struttura e mi trovo molto bene.L'odore di pulto che riscontro ogni volta che entro nella stanza è inconfondibile. Forse nelle stanze del secondo piano bisognorebbe cambiare l'infisso perchè essendoci la ferrovia vicino se non si abbassa la tapparella si sente un leggero rumore. Ma è solo un cavillo in quanto il confort è garantito e a volte alla reception offrono up grade della camera allo stesso prezzo. Per me ormai è tappa fissa

Good hotel with top class breakfast

The hotel is located in a nice place close to Bari. The room was clean, well equipped and warm. They upgraded us to a better room. Everything was very good and as expected for a 4 star hotel. One item that stands out is the top class breakfast. Best breakfast of our travel where we stayed in 7 hotels. Maybe even our best breakfast in Italy.
