Das Hotel ist Ok.
Pros:

Wir waren nur drei Tage in dem Hotel, aber ich habe alles als sehr unpersönlich und als nicht willkommen wahrgenommen. Vielleicht lag es daran, dass erst Vorsaison war. Es war Ok, mehr nicht.

Good for a weekend beach break
Pros:

The hotel has private beach.

Cons:

Location. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. If you don't have a car, you will depend on a public busses (unpredictable service) or taxi. The taxi service to the nearest town Giovinazzo will cost you a 35-40 euro per 10 min ride one way.
Service. I booked a transfer from the airport and to the airport. The hotel staff confirmed both ways. And there is no transfer was provided. There was a shuttle bus parked near the entrance, but was is not operational. If you are coming from the airport, you will need a taxi.
Rooms. Clean, with a very old furniture, no kettle and cups.
