Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were outstanding, spacious, and comfortable with beautiful sea views from the large patio. The private beach was fantastic, and the food served was good. The gym was well-equipped, adding to the positive experience.
After a lovely welcome at the main reception, we were escorted to our spacious and clean cottage by golf cart. The experience at the Michelin-starred Il Pellicano restaurant was delightful, and the service outstanding. However, the dining experience for the room rate paid could have been better.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms were spacious, offering lovely garden and sea views, providing a beautiful and comfortable experience. The service was top-notch, with staff always ready to assist and make me feel like a celebrity. The location was magical, tumbling down to the sea, offering a unique experience. The dining was fantastic, with out-of-this-world food options. Overall, a truly remarkable experience.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, overlooking the Adriatic Sea with a lovely patio. The Mediterranean-style decor was bright and airy, and the bed was very comfy. The service was exceptional, with genuinely friendly staff who made me feel welcome and valued. The location was heavenly, secluded on a rocky hill overlooking the sea, and the dining experience was delightful. Overall, a luxurious stay with a few minor drawbacks.
