The property was nice, the beach area very quaint. The animatori were playing music and dancing. Hotel staff directed us to Giovinazzo for dinner which had a bunch of great options. The rooms were dated, mattress too firm but all around spacious.

In its prime, this would have been a wonderful hotel. Close to the beach and amenities. It needs a bit of love and a good coat of paint. The room was not cleaned to a high standard, dust on the window sills. The blanket and sheets had yellow stains on it from body fluids. Staff was lovely enough but hotel needs some TLC
