Ottimo soggiorno
Pros:

Soggiorno molto piacevole in questo splendido hotel.
Siamo stati accolti al check in reception da Giacomo che ci ha messo a disposizione la camera alle 9:00 del mattino, con upgrade gratuito, dandoci la possibilità di accedere subito alla spiaggia.
Hotel panoramico con belle piscine e spiaggia privata.
Ottimo il ristorante.
Comoda la posizione.
Considerando l’upgrade della camera prezzi più che giusti.

Can't recommend unless you're happy to pay £1300 a night to listen to live pop songs under your room
Pros:

Beautiful room in a beautiful location. We stayed in one of a classic suites

Cons:

I don't expect to pay £1300 a night to be kept awake by the hotel bar playing live pop music till 11:30pm directly below our balcony.
