Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms had no tea or coffee services, terrible sound insulation, and appeared outdated initially, but I discovered some positive aspects throughout my stay. The service was incredibly nice with attentive staff, and the dining experience was enjoyable with varied options. The location was exceptional, overlooking a stunning beach, though it had some drawbacks that didn't meet my expectations.
The hotel offers lovely views, but the rooms are a bit outdated and the breakfast spot is a climb away. The service is warm, especially towards the end of the season, but there are some language barriers. The location is stunning, perfect for nature lovers, but a bit isolated. The dining options are good, with a variety of specialties, but nothing exceptional. The facilities are decent, but not luxurious.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and very welcoming staff, though some upgrades like better views come at a high price. The location is stunning within the Gargano National Park, but dining options may be limited in the area.
I stayed in one of the upgraded 'Zagare' Suites at this resort, which initially lacked a view and a balcony until I upgraded to a garden view for an additional cost. The location on a stunning bay with a private beach was a highlight, but the inconvenience of dining options and obstructed sea views from most rooms were drawbacks.
