Pros:

Personale gentilissimo.
La mia camera con una bellissima vista sul mare non aveva buone tende black out per cui ho.dormito male dall'alba.a causa della.luce.
Un rumore di fondo delle macchine esterne dell'aria condizionata non aiutava.
Spiaggia perfettamente attrezzata, prima colazione fantastica, ottimo cibo

Terrible service, felt very unwelcomed
Pros:

Came here for lunch on a saturday. Place was packed. Service nonexistant. I came in and asked if i could eat they said yes and nobody showed me to a table. I chose a table inside. The table was dirty, nobody came to clean it. After 15 minutes of waiting for a menu, i got up and took one by myself from the menu station. The menu offers over priced average choices, nothing caught my eye, yet i was still keen on trying it out. After another 15 minutes of no staff coming over and taking my order, i got up and left. Terrible, really was not expecting this kind of treatment from a place like this. Service was really nonexistant, no waiter or staff came to even say a single word in over 30 minutes. Won't be back.

Very rude staff
Pros:

Very rude staff at lunch time, were asked to pay before we asked for the bill.
We went to Albergo’s last Sunday(3.8.2025) for lunch and some beach time but unfortunately had to leave early as the waiter made it clear that we weren’t welcome to stay longer.
The incident was quite a surprise to us, as we had come to the hotel for drinks last year and dinner only 3 weeks ago. In both cases, we enjoyed ourselves very much and have nothing bad to say about the experience.
However, Sunday was rather different.
We had made the reservation for lunch. We had also enquired about the sunbeds and were fully aware of the hotel policy.
There was 3 of us, but our daughter was going to leave for the airport. We intended to stay a while longer and then leave for the ferry.
When we arrived, we asked for the taxi to be booked for the airport for one person.
When we went to ask for our table, there wasn’t a table reserved and there wasn’t one available that was in the shade. So, we sat near the bar area. The food was also very different than dinner service in the sense it really wasn’t very good. I had an average at best caesar salad. Then we asked about the sunbeds and were given 2 by the rubbish bin.
We wanted to try out the beach, in case we wanted to stay at the hotel in the future. We had stayed in their sister hotel(Pelagos) last year, but the sea was not ideal in that area.
When it was time for our daughter’s taxi, we went to the reception , to get her suitcase. Our beach bag etc was left on the sunbeds. A waiter told us that we haven’t paid. We told him we weren’t leaving, only our daughter was. I thought honest mistake.
Then we saw her off, and of course we went outside to say bye to her. Again, someone(I think she was the front of house) asked if we were leaving. We again told her we weren’t leaving.
Then we went to our sunbeds. I was about to order another drink and the same waiter(who asked us about leaving without paying) came over. He told us we needed to settle our bill as our bill was large. The bill was 119 euros. I would hardly call it a large bill.
When my husband went inside to talk to the manager, we were also given a rather weak excuse that the waiter had to close the account cause his shift was ending.
In short, the food was average, the service was terrible and we were treated like criminals who were trying to skip without paying. Obviously we won't be returning.
