Pros:

Le parking privé pour la voiture avec navette privative et bateau privé de l’hôtel pour aller sur l’île.
Le personnel aide pour amener les bagages jusqu’à la chambre. L’île est paisible, le cadre est très reposant. Le personnel est disponible et prêt à vous assister.
Le ménage est impeccable.

Cons:

Aucune transparence sur les tarifs du Minibar et sur les services annexes (laundry). Ils ne sont affichés nulle part dans la chambre. Repas au restaurant avec des montants excessifs et sans détails.
On est repartis avec un supplément qui n’était pas prévu.
Un conseil pour l’établissement, afficher les prix de l ensemble des services non compris dans la réservation. Soyez transparent!
Je vous recommanderais!

Pros:

Smooth check-in. Despite being on an island the process was fast and seamless. The island itself was relaxed and the beach is directly in front of the hotel.

Pleasant stay, but below expectations
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Spongiola. Our room was generous in size. The beds were very comfortable. We had a triple room with a small balcony, consisting of 2 separate bedrooms, which was great.
The waiting staff in the restaurant were lovely and made us feel welcome. The food at dinner was very nice and reasonably priced.
The little beach in front of the hotel is very pleasant and the wooded area, which makes up one half of the island, is lovely, with lots of benches to rest and enjoy the view over the sea.
We also had a great time kayaking around the island.

Cons:

We found some of the staff very reserved. Polite and helpful when asked, but not very forthcoming and warm.
The main air conditioning in our room was not working, and nobody bothered to look into fixing it during our stay, despite us reporting the problem straight away.
No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. No freely available drinking water, and the tap water does not taste good.
Breakfast was good, but you have to ask for any specials and for top ups at the buffet when items are missing, or they will not necessarily be offered or replenished. Freshly squeezed orange juice was promised but not available. The coffee from the available machine is not great.
The shuttle service on and off the island was usually prompt and great. It would be helpful to have more detailed explanations of where to go when you first arrive, though. We ended up driving around for clues and getting stuck in the congested lanes near the ferry point upon arrival.
We had an incident for which the hotel sincerely apologised, when we came back one evening and nobody answered the hotel phone to come and pick us up from the mainland. It took 45 minutes to get a response, which seemed to be due to an internet outage, and left us worried about how to get to the hotel for the night. It would be good to make an alternative number available to guests to prevent this from happening.
The van used for transport from the car park to the ferry is not exactly luxurious and stuffy. Although the staff are very nice.
The indoor pool was nowhere near as nice as it looks on the pictures and was not inviting. We had to ask to see it, clearly it was not being used much. We were not shown the advertised fitness studio. Neither facility is signposted at all, and it seemed like you were not expected to make use of them.
