Sea Lion Hotel

Right on the water front, the staff were friendly and helpful. really short walk from the supermarket. nice drinks for the beach bar, Marco who was in charge of the private beach area was lovely. welcoming and helpful.

Marked down due to not being allowed to take food from anywhere else onto the beach, when only small limited options for food throughout the day. Charging €3 for beach towels is a little cheeky. it’s just a towel for the beach.

I used the swimming pool a lot. It was end of season so I often had it to myself, which was great. Occasionally shared with just a few others, which was OK too. My room had a great balcony with sea view. The air conditioning worked. However, if the key card was removed from the slot or the balcony door was open it switched off. Very sensible, but it confused me at first! Breakfast at the hotel was included for me and it was pretty good. I like bacon and eggs and English Breakfast Tea, I was well served with those options! I had one evening meal at the hotel, which was nice enough. Usually I ate out. There was a nice pizza (and arrosticini) place across the road, and a Gelateria too. There was a shopping Mall nearby with steak house, and supermarket. The local number 2/ bus stop was close by, it was a 30 minute ride to and from Pescara. There was a very long promenade, stretching for miles. Lots of people doing their morning exercise before it got too warm.

The room was a bit small. It was OK for me as a single person but a couple on a long stay might find it a bit cramped. Pack accordingly! 🙂 No kettle in the room, I got used to it after a while. Last bus back from Pescara was at 21:30.

great location , right on the beach , clean and tidy all the time , breakfast had lots of choice , staff very friendly and helpful , you get you own sun loungers and parasol . and everyone is well spaced out , so plenty of space , ( unlike some other hotels) Marco the lifeguard sorts everything out , and ensures the beach is spotless. we were very lucky to get a dual aspect balcony with views of the mountains , and the beach, the sea was enjoyably warm (end of july, early august) This is an Italian hotel in an Italian resort , a first for us .

what didn't you like ? , nothing to report .

Large spacious room, with a side view of the beach, big bed for a couple, very good curtain to protect you from the sun in the morning, delicious and unique breakfast. good quality of WiFi

If contact with the Hotel had been better, i.e. they had contacted themselves via Whatsapp instead of booking, at first it seemed suspicious to me and I wasn't sure if it was the Hotel, especially since I have this application on a daily basis, but I don't use this communicator. Plus, when I asked a detailed question, I got a very general answer regarding all guests, not specifically my situation

My daughter and I have been here for the previous 2summers and this is the 3rd year we have visited here.we have tried other hotels in the area but the sea lion is the cleanest and more efficient hotel. We love the beach and how clean the sand is and marco the lifeguard is great.also the pool is lovely,my daughter hates wearing a swim cap but for 20/30 mins she does it.the facilities are all clean and tidy.the toilets at the beach are cleaned constantly which makes a difference. Our room wa screamed daily,comfy bed,air con is a plus amd shower was fab. Breakfast was brilliant!!!staff friendly and welcoming.

Only thing that needs to be better is the kids club.my daughter goes every year and gets easily bored.morning session is just playing in sand and afternoon is colouring in then a swim in pool.if there was more for the kids to do at kids club like football/water fun/play area it would be great.

Located beachfront, with your own designated umbrella and deck chairs on the beach. We stayed in a family room, double bed and bunks for 4 of us. There was adequate space given it was a hotel room, but nil kitchenette. Breakfast in the restaurant was quite good, good variety, lovely setting to sit with a view of the beach.

Beds were a bit hard. Fridge provided but it was actually warmer in the fridge than in the air conditioned room and no ability to turn it down lower.

Hotel was modern,clean and staff very friendly. The beach was great, little hut bar was fab but could have done with alittle more variety of snacks. Staff in breakfast room and lunch were really great,always there to get something for you. Room was cleaned daily which was good!!! Location is fantastic and the parking was good but I’d say in peak summer ie.august it may be difficult to get a space. We had basic double room and it was spacious,lots of wardrobe space but bathroom was alittle small. Ladies who run the kids club were friendly and great with the kids. We will defo return again nxt summer!!!

The variety at lunch wasn’t the best considering the 25euro price for a adult ans 15 euro for a child. Also the food had alot of flies on it as it’s in open section and was alittle off putting. We didnt use the pool as you have to wear a swim hat and my 5yr old doesn’t like wearing then as they give her sore head (put one on her and she was uncomfortable) this was disappointing as the pool looked lovely and she wanted to play in it. Kids club only had activities at 10-11am then 4.30-5.30pm which isn’t very much, could have done with some other activity through the day.

Swimming pool, clean room, view from the balcony, aircondition, quite fast check-in, beach in front of the hotel - managed by beach manager. Staff helpful and supportive. Live music at the dinner, really pleasant and romantic.

Only two towels, the rest towels looked like dish cloth, plastic cups for juice in 4 star hotel? No salad and vegetables on breakfast at all!

- the location is fantastic, you have many places and options to eat or have a drink, at night the main street is closed and you can enjoy many things to see and buy. - Breakfast, very good and complete, everything is fresh and the coffee is excellent. - The staff is very friendly and always willing to help you.

- We had a family room with two rooms, and only received an umbrella, a bed and a chair on the beach, and although we did not use it some days, we had to pay 7 Euros per person per day, including the days we did not use it. The pool is only open until 18:00....

Friendly staff, excellent location on the beach in Montesilvano a short walk from the train station, excellent and varied breakfast options, good shower with strong pressure.

Checkout time is far too early (10am), surfaces still dusty after room clean, beach towel rental should be included (€3 per towel per day).
