20 mins drive north of Brindisi airport, this is a huge all inclusive resort - its about a mile from the sea but has a Tourist Train that runs to and from the beach all day. We visited at the end of the season (they were getting ready to close for winter) and I cant imagine how crazy this resort would be in August - the canteen (it really cant be described as a restaurant) is immense - 3 massive rooms, which would be insane if full. Also there are huge swimming pools with hundreds of sun loungers and umbrellas around them. Again, it was OK off season as it was quiet, but would be crazy if full during the school holidays.

First of all, if you’re going there to relax, forget about it. It’s very noisy and chaotic. It’s crowded, too. The staff at the hotel was really rude. No one—absolutely no one—speaks English; just a few people at the front desk could string together a sentence or two, and that’s it. It’s impossible to find anything to snack on between lunch and dinner—there’s only pizza service at 4:00 p.m., and for that, you have to get in line and wait 20–25 minutes, sometimes even longer. Plus, they only give out a limited number of slices and bring out the pizzas one by one. So if you have a baby or children like we do, you might need an alternative. We found some nearby grocery stores, but keep in mind that they have very odd opening hours. Overall, the food was good, there’s a decent gluten-free selection, and it’s a very clean hotel. I can say that my family and I won't be going back there again.

Our stay at Riva Marina was an absolute delight! With a family of four, including our kids, we enjoyed a week of pure joy. The exceptional cleanliness, captivating playground, lively night events, inviting pool, and delectable dining made our stay truly memorable. The staff's hospitality added that extra touch, making us feel valued. Without a doubt, we're already eager to return for another wonderful experience!

Chambre vétuste porte SDB bloquée signalé a deux reprises mais rien n'a été fait. Mauvaise odeur d'humidité dans la chambre malgré aération. Cantine gigantesque et bruyante. C'est une usine loin d'un hôtel 4 étoiles. Dessus de lit taché et petits insectes noirs visibles. Signalé avec un petit mot et pour toute réponse un autre dessus de lit nous a été fourni avec tache de sang cette fois. Petit dej peu varié. Le pain n'est pas frais. Fruits en conserve..... On est plus proche d' un camping que d'un hôtel 4 étoiles. La formule tout compris n'inclus pas les encas ( fruit glace) disponible à toute heure. Quelques pizza étaient servies en fin d'après-midi. Le dessert du midi n'est autre que deux sortes de fruits et parfois une boule de glace (voire photo) comme à l'école Le point positif c'est la navette a la plage et transat toujours disponible piscine comme mer.

Mellanklass hotell med bedrövligt dålig mat.

Det sämsta CDS hotellet vi bott på i Puglia. Toalett som rinner, toalettsits som sitter löst och dåligt med varmvatten. Maten är under all kritik, både utbudet och kvaliteten. Vin får t.ex. drickas i små plastmuggar. CDS Relais Masseria Le Cesine utanför Lecce och CDS Pietrablu Resort & SPA norr om Polignano a Mare har ett helt annat utbud och kvalitet på måltiderna. Jätte stor skillnad!

Cucina non male, animazione diurna inesistente. Non giravano mai per informarti su eventuali giochi o attività. Ho trovato la porta d'ingresso danneggiata ,cassaforte non era attaccata a nulla. Chiunque accedendo poteva portarla via. Il servizio di sorveglianza nonostante tutto è terminato ad agosto. A settembre non c'era. Dov'è il rispetto per i clienti?

Struttura grande, immersa nel verde e ben tenuta e curata. Camera nuova e ogni giorno ben pulita. Molto buoni il servizio del trenino, la spiaggia (consigliata "le dune" per la vicinanza al bar e la possibilità di trovare un mare cristallino senza scogli spostandosi di qualche metro. Cibo buono, consigliato l'all inclusive, ottima la possibilità di pranzare in spiaggia e gli aperitivi serali. Buona l'animazione e gli spettacoli serali.

Villaggio Top!

Il villaggio è ben organizzato, tutte le strutture sono vicine. Inoltre la gentilezza, la disponibilità e la professionalità del personale rende il soggiorno piacevole. Gli alloggi, come il resto del villaggio, è pulito. Spiaggia, pulita, ordinata e ben vigilata, i bagnini, e tutto lo staff..attrezzisti...ecc sempre presenti e sempre disponibili, gestita da MASSIMO, una grande Famiglia!!!Un plauso anche al piccolo Francesco nella gestione canoe sempre attento e scrupoloso.. Anche il ristorante è ottimamente gestito. Altra nota positiva va all animazione, tutti bravi che affrontano le giornate con grande professionalità. Sanno essere coinvolgenti, ma non invadenti. GRAZIE di CUORE !!!

Hôtel 3 étoiles au mieux

Bel hôtel propre excentré et bien entretenu avec une grande et belle piscine. Des chambres réparties dans des maisonettes à 2 étages. Grand parking couvert gratuit très appréciable. Accès à une plage privée par petit train : la plage privée ne permet pas de s'y baigner en raison des trop nombreux rochers. Il faut se décaler et se rendre sur la plage publique. Un bar est à disposition. Le gros point négatif concerne la restauration et l'all inclusive :peu de choses comprises, peu d'offres de snacks (une pizza et un seul goût de glace de 16h à 18h). Très peu de choix en boissons, pas de cocktails compris ni bouteille d'eau. Mini bar vide dans la chambre. Service uniquement au bar avec un personnel pas agréable ni souriant. Éviter d'aller au bar de la piscine en maillot de bain mouillé! Les repas sont de très basse qualité pour un hôtel 4 étoiles.

Kein Hotel für mich. Die Anlage vom Hotel ist sehr groß und hat leider wenig italienischen Charme, jedoch ist das Geschmackssache. Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer, insbesondere im Bad ließ zu wünschen übrig. Wir waren einmal im Hotel Mittagessen - so schlecht habe ich in Italien noch nie gegessen.

Not as advertised by Expedia

This is not an hotel but an Italian holiday camp where Italians return to year after year. Few staff speak good English - German is the preferred second language as TUI (Thomsons) Germany send guests here. There is no restaurant but a self service buffet in a canteen - the food was okay but not great for vegetarians. The free wine with meals you are offered really is undrinkable - it comes pumped out a metal barrel! It is very isolated and if you don't have your own transport there is nowhere to go. You could order a very expensive taxi but there is no guarantee you'll get one to take you back. We arrived by train at Carovigno station - the most remote station I've ever seen and the holiday resort is over 7km away, We only made it after a kind local gave us a lift. Attempts to ring the hotel ahead of our arrival were met with no response.
