A very enjoyable stay with a great beach, friendly staff, delicious food, and clean facilities
Pros:

I really liked the beach area. It was clean, and there were always enough sunbeds and chairs whenever we went there. Hotel guests always have a reserved sunbed, umbrella, and chair/sunbed. It is also possible to get two sunbeds or even a canopy bed. There are plenty of entrances to the sea. WC and shower very close.

The restaurant food was very delicious, and there were enough tables available if you reserved one during the day, although it was a bit on the expensive side.

The staff everywhere was very friendly and helped us with everything we asked for. The reception was also open 24/7.

Our room was clean and was cleaned every day.

Breakfast was very delicious, although very Italian-style and a little lacking in meat options . However, you can order very tasty scrambled eggs or an omelette.

The pool is big, deep, and has a very comfortable water temperature. Perfect for swimming.

There is also a huge parking lot, so finding a parking space was never a problem.

Cons:

The overall hotel design is perhaps a little outdated, but everything is clean and works perfectly.

The balcony is only suitable for drying clothes (there is a drying rack, which is very convenient), because the air-conditioning unit is located there and blows out hot air and takes up much space.

The pool area could use more sunbeds. There is plenty of space around the pool, but only a limited number of sunbeds are available.

I would also strongly recommend bringing swimming shoes, as the sea by the beach is quite rocky, with some large rocks under the water.

Mást vártunk
Pros:

A tisztaság a szobákban a takarítónknak köszönhetően 5*. A szálloda éttermének a pizzája finom.

Cons:

Az elhelyezkedés ... írták ugyan más vendégek is hogy a szálloda kívül esik mindentől, de hogy tényleg MINDENTŐL?? Még egy kisbolt sincs 500 méteren belül. Aki ide foglal, az kizárólag autóbérléssel induljon neki ennek a szállodának. Foglalás ... családként foglaltunk kettő darab két ágyas szobát. Nem tudom milyen logika mentén sikerült a két szobát a folyosó két végébe tenni ... Tényleg érdekelne! A reggeli egyáltalán nem változatos. Lenne hova fejlődni.

Buenas instalaciones
Pros:

Buena ubicación, instalaciones viejas pero bien conservadas.

Cons:

Por ser instalaciones viejas les recomiendo realizar un mantenimiento más profundo sobre todo porque observamos que hay varias aéreas con filtraciones en los techos y revisar la posición de los compresores de los aires acondicionados que están con mucho ruido

Todo bien hasta hacer el check out
Pros:

En general muy cómodo para pasar unos días. Una buena ubicación junto a la playa, espacios diferentes…

Cons:

Me hicieron pagar una habitación de más, a pesar de mostrar reiteradamente que tenía mis reserva abonada. Después de reclamarlo reconocen el error y se lo abonan a Booking en vez de a mi, y Booking me quita un 8% de esa cantidad…
Increíble!!

Merci pour tout
Pros:

Nous avions réservés 4 nuits avec petit déjeuner très copieux. L'ensemble du personnel est très accueillant, aimable. Merci particulièrement a une des hôtesse d'accueil qui nous a aidé pour notre réservation de voiture. La piscine est spacieuse et calme.
Belle vue de la plage, dommage qu'on ne puisse pas se baigner a cause des rochers, équipements transat, parasol tout est parfait.
L'hôtel un peu en retrait il faut prévoir un moyen de transport bus ou voiture pour se deplacer

Piscine et mer sur un meme hotel
Pros:

Grande piscine très propre
Place réserve avec siège sur la plage
Un grand parking extérieur mais surveille
Grand complexe hôtelier très sympa
la partie restauration sur la plage est très simple mais avec un tarif très abordable

Cons:

Pas de place dans le parking mais pas de soucis on se gare sur le deuxième cote extérieur.
serviette pour plage ou piscine payante dommage
ne prenez pas en compte mes commentaire trop négatif car c'est un bon hôtel même avec ces 50 ans.

Pros:

Camere nuove e molto pulite, personale attento e cortese, colazione di qualità, ristorante di ottimo livello

Cons:

Spazi comuni esterni che risentono un po’ dell’età della struttura e avrebbero bisogno di rinnovamento, accesso al mare un po’ difficoltoso

L aménagement de la plage de rochers est bien pensé.
Belle piscine
Bien situé pour visiter le haut des pouilles

Les chambres sont vétustes, mal isolées et tristes
La Clim est ancienne et bruyante la douche est très petite. une partie de l hôtel semble rénovée mais nous n en avons pas bénéficié.
L accueil est succinct - très peu d info autour des possibilités d activité ou d animation.
Les couloirs des chambres sont très bruyants

Es war einen sehr schöne Urlaubswoche
Pros:

Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer, die schöne Anlage, die sehr bemühten jungen Menschen die sehr hart und gut gearbeitet haben, das sehr nette Reinigungspersonal, die Veranstaltungen der Ferragosta Woche, Möglichkeit E Bikes zu mieten, sehr nette Animation durch den Tag, einfach ein schöner Ort und sehr schöne Anlage!!

Cons:

Die Verunreinigung durch die Gäste( Plastikflaschen überall- Meer und Tennisplatz, die vielen Zigarettenstummel in der Anlage und am Strand), der Müll rundum das Hotel
Dass jeder Mitarbeiter zu bestimmten Themen( Nutzung der Badehaube, Tauchverbot für Kinder oder nicht; wann fahren Busse zur Feragosta), sehr sehr laute Musikboxen,
Event am Samstag 15.9. war sehr schlecht organisiert; mussten 1,5h mit bereits gekauften Essensmarken zur Ausspeisung anstellen, Essen sehr schlecht.

Pros:

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Colazione molto varia e sempre rifornita. Ottima posizione sul mare. Personale gentile.

Cons:

Da migliorare lo scarico a pavimento nel bagno, in quanto vi è una risalita di cattivi odori costante che obbliga a tenere la porta del bagno chiusa. Dovendo tenere la porta chiusa il bagno non viene raggiunto dal climatizzatore risultando sempre caldo.

Hanyagolható
Pros:

Tiszta szobák, a dolgozók kedvesek voltak.

Cons:

Nincs felkészültség, sok programot szerveznek de nem bírják teljesíteni azokat, hatalmas késések és csúszások. Sajnálom a dolgozókat hogy ilyen mértékű munka van rájuk rakva. A szállodai étteremben semmi tipikus olasz étel nincsen ennek ellenére irreálisan túl van árazva. A benti medencében az úszósapka használata teljesen értelmetlen.
