10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely amazing stay! The rooms were really nice and comfortable. The place is right on the beach (literally, you step onto sand once you enter through the gate). And I can not say enough about how thoughtful, considerate, and kind ALL of the staff are - (for example, they stood by our chairs when we left our towels etc to go into the ocean without us asking or anything!). Definitely will be recommending to all my friends."

8/10 Good
"We recently stayed here and picked the hotel because of a couple of things - quiet beach and the eco friendly credentials - both of which we thoroughly enjoyed and I’d give a 5 star for that. The staff are really great and mostly super helpful - once they get to know you especially if you are not Italian. Couple of things to note: The hotel is 90% catered to Italians so if you don’t like pasta and pizza you are pretty much stuck. One of us was vegetarian so ate pizza and chips the entire time which wasn’t so nice! On the positive side the gelato was first class but you had to ask for it , so if you didn’t know, you would easily miss out on it! And if you want to take nice insta worthy pictures after dressing up in the evenings then better be prepared to pay premium for a drink just to get a nice glass or land up taking picks in papercups because that’s all you get as an All inclusive paying customer! And noop apparently it’s non negotiable to get a decent glass at the bar otherwise! Finally our room - it was probably the farthest from the beach and right behind the amphitheater. The room was smelling mouldy and full of mosquitoes when we entered which to be fair they fixed quickly by cleaning with a strong cleaner and spraying with repellent. But we couldn’t do much about the noise level in the evening. Overall we loved the beach and the quiet location of the hotel."
