Ci stanno girando un film aspetto con ansia per vederlo.

At the end of the day, whether you enjoy your stay at a hotel is completely dependent upon your expectations and if the hotel met them.

There is, of course, no definitive, objective rating.

Based upon the price and my careful reading of reviews, I was expecting a 5-star hotel, albeit perhaps rough around the edges to justify the lower price range. Obviously not high-end luxury – but a more family-run hotel with a few personal touches. The sort of place you’d leave and forget about any of the small negatives because “they” were just so “nice and sweet”.

This place is a complete dump.

Here’s what you can expect for your naiveté in thinking you’ve found a diamond in the rough:

- Teenagers with knuckle tattoos at the beach club watching tiktok videos at full volume.

- You will need to order your drinks up at the bar and wait for the salty staff to throw it into a nasty plastic cup.

- A 5-star beach club where I have to drink my Champagne from a bloody plastic *cup*.

- You will cut your feet to shreds on the rocks each time you walk from your cheap plastic $10 “sun lounge” to the water’s edge.

- There is no beach here: just rocks of all different sizes with a few nice bits of broken glass to spice things up.

Something important to note: Restaurant do not start any service before 19:45/20:00. Take heed if you have small kids…

There are just so many things; I’ll not list them all here except for one last one which is the worst and most unforgivable: You will not sleep. Almost every night there is a terrible “band” playing at such obnoxious volume it is impossible to even attempt sleep. I had to storm into reception to check if they’d gone mad on three separate nights (after which I gave up). The staff are horrible except for the manager at the American bar who was great.

I felt embarrassed to have stayed here.

Sul mare in posizione stupenda con parco meraviglioso. Struttura prestigiosa. Servizio al top, cucina allo stesso livello!!!
