I've just come back from a fantastic week at Voi Daniela Essentia and already thinking of booking for next year. The resort was busy but quiet. It never looked crowded which made the holiday a lot more relaxing. The rooms are spacious and the beds are extremely comfortable and really big in size, possibly a uk queen size if not bigger. The pillows are slightly too thick for my likings but that did not spoil my sleeps! The resort is spotless! There is a great selection of food. We opted for half board. Although, one evening we went out for dinner and the hotel switched the dinner for the lunch, super accommodating. On the last day, we checked out at 3am and were given a very generous breakfast to go! Croissant, jams, french toasts, biscuits, an apple and some water! The staff is really friendly. There are plenty of sport activities during the day (yoga, aquagym, muscle awekening, padel, football, volleyball) and a different show every evening. My boys enjoyed the mini club too. There is also a photographer. The gym could do with a revamp but you find all the basics (dumbells, running nachine etc..). There is a train managed by the hotel which takes you from the hotel to the beach and we could also use the 2 local electric cars/trains. The alternative is to walk which is also very pleasant. 1-2km walk, absolutely fine to do. The hotel provides 1 set of beach towels per person for free, they can be returned and exchanged for 2€. We had an amazing time!

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questa struttura molto accogliente, con belle camere spaziose, una bella piscina e una spiaggia attrezzata facilmente raggiungibile con una camminata in mezzo alla macchia mediterranea di circa 1 km, oppure con un trenino messo a disposizione dalla struttura. Avevamo una camera vista piscina con una loggia esterna con tavolo, due poltroncine e stendi biancheria, molto utile per i costumi. Abbiamo scelto la formula mezza pensione, la colazione e la cena erano servite in una bellissima sala molto ampia con spazi interni, una terrazza esterna e tavolini esterni protetti da ombrelloni. Il servizio è Self service ma servito dal personale dell’hotel, cosa che abbiamo molto apprezzato per una questione di igiene. la struttura forniva anche una animazione soft, cosa che ho molto apprezzato, e ogni giorno c’era la possibilità di fare attività alternative alla spiaggia quali passeggiate e gite nei luoghi di interesse più vicini. Personale molto attento, gentile e sempre disponibile a soddisfare le nostre esigenze. Consiglio vivamente la struttura, è un luogo dove tornerei.

Muito bom

Chegamos de madrugada as 2da manha por um atraso da cia aerea( Bari). Trata-se de um resort que fica ha 2:30 de carro de Bari. Sugiro ser ponto de apoio de 2 cidades: Gallipoli(57 min carro) , Otranto(20 min carro) e Lecce. Para outras cidades como Polignano a mare, Alberobello sugiro ponto de apoio mais próximo! O resort eh muito bom, extremamente gostoso, piscina gigante, quadras, recreacao para crianças, estacionamento gratuito, praia particular com um carrinho de golfe que te leva( pode ir a pe tb). Tem bar na piscina , tem que pagar la mesmo! Nao pode colocar na conta do quarto. La é um hotel que acredito ser de multipropriedade, pois tem algumas meses reservadas para estas pessoas! Poucas pessoas ali falam ingles. Mas adoramos!

Una struttura elegante, dotata di ogni servizio, immerso nella macchia mediterranea che dà su spiaggia privata, pensione mezza e completa. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Un luogo tranquillo adatto a coppie e famiglie, con serate organizzate e animazione molto soft, un' attenzione al cibo inaspettata. Personale internazionale e sempre disponibile. Di contro si gradirebbe una più attenta pulizia quotidiana. Consigliatissimo.

Gostei muito do hotel, tem uma estrutura muito boa, funcionários muito solícitos e educados. O quarto é amplo e confortável, as refeições tem bastante opções, tem transfer para praia saindo do hotel, música ao vivo a noite na piscina, atividades ao longo do dia, fora que o hotel fica pertinho de Torre Sant'Andrea, que pra mim foi a praia mais bonita da região! Única consideração que eu tenho é que a água do chuveiro era muito fraca, então demorava bastante para conseguir lavar o cabelo.

La struttura resta sempre una delle mie preferite. E' la terza volta che vi soggiorno a distanza di anni e con tre operatori diversi. Tutto perfetto, dallo staff al personale per non parlare della ristorazione. Uniche pecche a mio avviso la spiaggia, che negli anni si è ridotta in maniera spaventosa perdendo circa 30 mt di profondità, ma soprattutto la mancanza di una seppur minima presenza di animazione all'interno della struttura che anche in maniera soft avrebbe reso più gradevole il soggiorno e permesso in qualche modo una maggior socializzazione degli ospiti. Tutto ciò già riferito alla direttrice della struttura, la Sig.ra Luana, che cortesemente ha ascoltato con attenzione i miei suggerimenti dicendo che ne avrebbe tenuto conto per il futuro.
