Mirella, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great property, but it is helpful to have a car. Taxis are very expensive. Bus to Bari is a doable option. David was helpful at the pool and reception bar. Breakfast is well managed —and tasty. Cleaning staff was helpful and kind. Antonio in animation was EXTREMELY helpful with kids!

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel, welcoming staff, linked to a private beach where there is a bar/restaurant. Very nice swimming pool and outside areas.
Claire, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The beach is not nice. Huge rocks, not easy to swim. Hard to get into pool. Only 1 small opening to get in. Inconvenient. Restaurant is mediocre. I had lobster pasta with tomato sauce and had to dig lobster out. The tail was non-existent, so pratically missing, and little meat. Got sauce all over my hands. Very messy. Room is small and my bathroom shower mat was wet before i even used it. For the price of $250 Canadian, this was a rip off.

Good hotel with top class breakfast

The hotel is located in a nice place close to Bari. The room was clean, well equipped and warm. They upgraded us to a better room. Everything was very good and as expected for a 4 star hotel. One item that stands out is the top class breakfast. Best breakfast of our travel where we stayed in 7 hotels. Maybe even our best breakfast in Italy.

This hotel is beautiful and staff was super friendly. Everything was clean and property kept up. Breakfast had a good variety nothing fancy but a little bit of everything. Only downfall is location is away from city center so catching a cab a little pricey.... I would definitely stay here again

This hotel was a great stop-over for one night, my only wish is that I had more time to spend there. The grounds a beautiful, it’s got a nice big pool and it’s right on the beach. Dinner and breakfast were great.

Very welcoming staff

Receptionists were friendly and welcoming, they arranged a shuttle to the airport without costs and assisted with leaving our luggage at the hotel after the check out until our flight time.
Gustavo, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Pricy and old hotel close to airport

Just one night after late arrival to Bari airport. The air condition in the room did not work. The room felt like a sauna. Not value for money. Breakfast and check out was good.
