nice seaside retreat

adult pool grotto bar shuttle service

i enjoyed the adult-only pool area. it was mostly quiet, so relaxing! the grotto bar served great drinks, a definite plus. the shuttle service to the town center was very convenient. it made exploring the area much easier, i thought.

i noticed that the breakfast variety was somewhat limited. i expected more options for the price i paid. i hope there will be expanded food selection in the future.

Location

The hotel has fine views from every corner, especially from the rooms, each of which includes a balcony. The coast views are amazing. the transfer service is efficient, despite being slightly removed from the town center. this arrangement works perfectly.

the breakfast offers fresh options every day. i found it delicious! there is a wide variety, so guests can enjoy the beautiful view each morning. the aperol spritz at the beach club was a really nice perk.

The hotel's shuttle service to the town was very convenient. The drivers were skilled. Pino, Maurizio, and Massimo, were very friendly. The breakfast included with my stay had a really kind staff. This was very nice.

The shower was horrible. It allowed water to spread all over the bathroom.
