Amazing hotel and overall a great experience we'll remember. The hotel is cozy and has a very nice vibe, with it's mediteranean design and great placement. It is just near the beach and you can even see the sea from the balcony, depending on where the room is located. We loved that they had louvers on the outside so the sun would't blind you in the morning. The beds are confy and the bathroom nicely decorated. They even had a hair dryer, a normal one not the one that you have to keep the finger on the on button to work (ladies will know what i'm talking about). The staff is amazing, friendly and ready to help you with whatever you need. The owners are always there making small talk and cracking jokes. The offer a great packaged deal with an all inclusive program, sunbeds and umbrellas, parking and meals along with soft drinks and coffee. They are family friendly and have animated evenings with dancing for children. One evening they had a dj that played music and made sure even the adults were entertained. The beach is great, the sand is clean and nice and the rest areas on the beach are also great for when you want to just stay out of the sun a little bit. There's always someone that will help you with anything you need. They have a bar on the beach and you can also eat there. The food is amazing and they kept surprising us with varied choices at lunch and dinner and also with amazing pastries. All in all you feel just like at home, but better :))

Of course there's room for improvement. The rooms are a bit small, when traveling with children it tends to be crowded in such a room. They dont have dressers but open spaces ones and if you have many clothes it's kind of a chore to find space for all of them. The breakfast is a bit bland, we knew that italians have this sweet breakfast and we were grateful for the continental one since we dont eat sweets in the morning, but still, there could've been some sunny side up eggs, or boild eggs, a few more kinds of cheese (since Italy has plenty of that to go around). For the 6 days we were there, the sea was heavely populated with jellyfishes, we would have loved to know that from the lifeguards that were stationed there or even from the reception. We are aware it's not their fault, but we feel they could have warned us since those marine creatures have the nasty habbit of stinging and there were many famillies with small children there. Also a few more playgrounds on the beach could make a difference :) since they position themselves as a family hotel.
