Pros +
- Beautiful property and private beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well.
- The hotel is very nice, especially the rooms and the beach area, which were very comfortable. The pool area was also great. Definitely a place and an area to recommend for a peaceful beach stay.
- We arrived at the hotel early and they were very accommodating. The gentleman at the door quickly took care of our luggage and placed it in the room when the room was ready. The beach service personnel had us on the beach with towels and drinks within minutes. The beach is absolutely gorgeous! Will definitely be back!!
Cons -
- Restaurant staff was not the most amicable. The food wasn’t great, except for breakfast. There were not a lot of options to choose from at the beach.
- Beautiful and comfortable open air jacuzzi was closed on the second day of my 7-day stay.
- Waiter service on beach is a bit hit and miss

Exceptionally clean rooms, beautiful design, very good breakfast, attentive staff, beautiful location at the beach, good tennis court, big swimming pool
Beautiful and comfortable open air jacuzzi was closed on the second day of my 7-day stay.
Absolutely top classGood size airy bedroomFantastic facilitiesLively tennis court and poolExcellent gymThe best sand on any beach I have seen in EuropeDecent breakfast
Waiter service on beach is a bit hit and miss
Beach and access to chairs and umbrella were great for a resort stay. The hotel main spaces were very clean, sparkling in the case of the marble floors. View of the beach and Gallipoli were spectacular!
The hotel wasn't busy but they gave us a room located at the back of the hotel (furthest from the beach), right next to the elevator. If we hadn't been so exhausted when we arrived we would have complained. Staff wasn't the friendliest.
Clean, modern , impressive.
Nothing except maybe the relative high price.
Place has a private beach with sun loungers and umbrella already assign to the room.Room was comfortable along with bed and the pillows.Breakfast was ok and when I’m saying ok I meant it was a buffet but mostly in Italian style so more sweet than usual European ones :)
Add some tomatoes and cucumbers either some salads.Add to the description that for the swimming pool you need to have a swimming cap.
Most UNBELIEVABLE Hotel next to beach & sea with AMAZING SUNSET VIEWS ❤️The staff was AMAZING TOO! ❤️
Nothing as EVERYTHING was PERFECT! ❤️
Beautifully clean, excellent room, lovely view, great staff, good supper, amazing beach. It was wonderful.
Could have had better/proper coffee at breakfast. Otherwise no complaints.
This hotel comes with a private beach which allows us to enjoy the sea view plus the beautiful sunset. The swimming pool is a plus. The breakfast is top with many selections. We got an upgrade of the room (an additional room with single bad) for the four of us.
The location is not in the center so you need a car. The room is not clean, we could see the dirt on the floor when we first went in the room. Isolation is bad so we could hear noises especially from upstairs. No kettle, coffee and tea in the room (not really normal for a 4 star hotel). Shower area is quite small.
Great location, very friendly, professional and helpful staff and very good facilities. Especially gym, pool and beach.
The only shame was having to pay to enter the spa. As an hotel guest, although we had a reduced price, it limited our ability to enjoy it fully as visiting every day would have been quite expensive. Something to consider and maybe offer a different pricing structure for guests that make it more accessible if it can’t be made free for guests.Having said that we really enjoyed our time at this hotel.
Situation, plage privative et SPA
Renovated , clean and welcoming hotel with the beach right there. We had a deluxe room which was very spacious. Breakfast spread was ok but was an exact repeat everyday. With a rental car it was easy drive to a lot of beautiful sights and cities from here.
Although you are a guest of the hotel you still have to pay to use the wellness and spa , and for a very limited time of access. This was quite unusual. The restaurant could do with some better and cozy lighting or decor to make it look warmer and inviting. Gave the cafeteria vibes .
Nice staff. Good food.
Interior design a bit blinky
private Beach - exceptional Room - comfortable with good airconStaff - v friendlyPlenty of parking
Coffee is brought to you at breakfast. It is inefficient and slow. You have to wait too long for coffee. The breakfast staff are stressed trying to cope with the coffee orders, Moreover they are too busy to focus on clearing the tables of used crockery. The hotel needs 2 decent coffee machines so breakfast goers help themselves then breakfast would be as good an experience as every other aspect of this excellent hotel.
Location was good. Beach was perfect. Breakfast was also good.
Location is great. Beautiful sea right at your doorstep. The manager is amazing. He went the extra mile for us. The hotel is definitely service oriented and the food was delicious.
There are limited facilities for families. No kids room or entertainment for kids. The standard rooms are fairly basic and the beds/pillows are not too comfortable.
Excellent facilities in the hotel e.g. pool, parking, gym and beach/pool service. The location was very good. It was lovely to have the beach right outside the hotel. The staff were very accommodating.
A car is essential if you are going to stay here. The food is slightly overpriced for the standard.
Location ,was good, near Gallipoli .
Found some members of staff very unfriendly. Not all as the bar staff were lovely but restaurant staff and reception not friendly.
