Excellent beach resort and location. Staff was very attentive both within the hotel and beach side. Easy to get downtown with 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride.

8/10 Good

Really nice property. If considering to be a 5 star property, feel that the staff need to be more warm and friendly.
Allen, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Not a 5 star hotel at all. A motel for a ridiculous price.

The property is stunning. Somewhat far from poligiamo a mare, must drive to it, it was a busy weekend and we couldn't find parking in town. Our room was beautiful, the a/c didn't with, they have is another run, the outlets didn't work. I am thankful for their efforts.
Shelly, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Resort was clean, access to the private beach with chair and towel availability. Upon check in we were informed that the hotel was not the same as advertised with a cliff side dining experience however it was at the sister hotel and reservations and rail seating was priority to us as hotel guests. The town of Polignano A Mare was easily accessible from the resort and transportation was arraigned by the front desk.

10/10 Excellent

Don’t miss this gem !

From the personalized greeting as we entered the property, to being welcomed as we parked. Every step of the reception process was exceptional and professional. Check-in was quick Rooms were outstanding The view is priceless The complementary shuttle between the hotel and downtown, whether you’re visiting the restaurant, or just spending time exploring.. the shuttle service was an unexpected bonus Every time we returned to our rooms, they had been reset cleaned and organized, as if we were arriving for the very first time Super professional staff, I am looking forward to the next visit already!

The beach at this property is not private. They share this beach with the adjoining beach club and it was incredibly busy.
Ora, 4-night trip

Miserable hotel. Far to be considered a high class hotel.
Armen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved …Nice clean small hotel . Very Clean rooms ! But very small showers … very small. Great access to a sandy beach!
Celene, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pros: spacious room, modern bathroom, great terrace with hot tub, nice sandy beach, quiet, can reserve at the Grotta restaurant, helpful English speaking staff you can contact via WhatsApp. Cons: poor air conditioning strength - room never got below 26C, warm mini fridge, no beers in fridge, no coffee in room, small breakfast buffet, best order directly from kitchen. No shuttle to other hotel in town but those guests can get a shuttle to the beach and you can’t even sit in the empty leg back to town. Expensive taxis - €50 for a car to Monopoli, tuktuk slightly cheaper but still expensive, uncomfortable and unsafe. No hotel pool but there was a pool in the old hotel before they took over. No gym. The beach is nice but not private and exclusive to the hotel, shared with another hotel and beach club. Avoid Italian school holidays as very crowded with noisy children. Hotel room was high tech but in all the wrong areas - I don’t need an iPad to control lights, I want good air con, a cold fridge and a coffee maker. I like a nice spacious shower but no need for a huge rain shower with 5 settings - put a double sink in the bathroom and hooks for towels. Cleaning seem to miss small toiletries like I used cotton pads every day but they were never replenished every day after they had seen I had used them even after I asked for more the first day. It’s like they had ambitions for design but ran out of money. We might stay again for the right price, at the right time and hire a car.
Jenny, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely incredible property. Exceeds all expectations. Immaculate rooms, staff bent over backwards for us. A true Gem
John, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Beach was fantastic!!! BUT beware they charge you an additional 200€ per room and per day to use the beach facility despite you paying the hotel room. You need car or taxi to get to old town.
Maclovia, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

I would only give 5 stars because of the cleaning staff! Those ladies are wonderful and work around the clock. As for everything else, very average.
Gustavo, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel is excellent for resting. There is no bar, no area with music nor entertaining program. The bathrooms are very small, uncomfortable and inconvenient for the price. However, the hotel and the surroundings are beautiful, very clean, quiet, and has the best staff.
Eduardo, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The service was slow and not good. The hotel shares the private beach with a club that plays music all day. Nothing private here.
Silke, 4-night trip
