    Check in and checkout time were not fairly. You should serve people, they should not serve you! Putting penalty for late check in is not normal, you should have some one 24 hours there.

    Import your breakfast quality and quantity, put a good coffee machine, add more items

    It is more like a family complex, so there were very few things to do for a young couple. The pool was usually full. We could hear the families in the other rooms, especially the noise of little kids (crying, fighting, etc.)

    The pool area was very nice. The staff very polite and everything was clean. The cleaning service was excellent. The room was a bit dark and the bed not the most comfortable, but overall is a good price for money.

    - Folding bed needed service in our room

    + Nice hotel with clean and fully equipped rooms + Pool was a big bonus and we enjoyed it everyday - clean, reasonably crowded, enough sunbeds + Public and private beaches were in walking distance + Parking in convenient distance from the hotel (across the street) + Very friendly and helpful staff, one receptionist even speaks Czech + Daily animation program for kids (our 8 years old daughter liked that even if she doesn't speak Italian or English) + Close to restaurants and bars

    Wifi works, but was sometimes laggy. The pool can be slightly crowded, but that all depends on when you visit. Otherwise, no real complaints :-)

    Beautiful apartment hotel with a cozy pool area with a small snack bar. Close to the beach, and in a small city where you can find groceries and restaurants along with a market each night (while we were here during the high season). Free parking included, and the possibility to charge electrical vehicles for free - which we also appreciated a lot. Nice and spacious apartments with the most important kitchen equipment, and a large bathroom. Daily cleaning by friendly staff and new towels every day - which was really great service! Central location for visiting Lucca, Pisa, Livorno, Volterra, Siena, etc. - or for going south towards Piombione and Grossetto (be ready for really bad roads in that direction, though!)

    The beach that was recommended by the hotel was quiet a bad experience. First the distance: the similar beach is much closer from the hotel. Second: the price for one umbrella, subbed and a chair was 25 euros a day, moreover, they are charging extra for the shower and toilets. I really couldn’t understand such a high price and no facilities included in it. Additionally the attitude of the stuff to the clients wasn’t nice at all. Do not recommend La Conchiglia beach

    Nice complex, safe parking, restaurants, shops and entertainment parks for children are within minutes walk.

The pool area was great for the family and always very clean. Staff all very helpful. Breakfast was good but too expensive for a family to have regularly.

    The hotel is really nice. The staff, the rooms and their equipment, every day cleaning, abundance of clean towels, very cleaning swimming pool with little jacuzzi, free and secure parking lot. There are not many shops nor restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel and there aren't many activities at sea, but otherwise is really great. Better with car than without.

    A nice place with good potential where management is lacking of attention to details
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Studio
    • Stayed 14 nights

    The walls are all but soundproof, there are no mosquito nets on the windows and french doors making it impossible to keep them out and they are a big deal in a place that 50 years ago was a marsh and it still has plenty of canals running around with stagnant water. The doors of all the rooms are so hard to close that people tend to smash them every time they go in and out their room making the walls vibrate and producing a lot of noise. Definitely something very easy to fix with some oil but management clearly doesn't want to be bothered with looking after details in this place.

    Nice pool - not too big for the amount of rooms in the structure, but still a good one. Structure is close to the sea near a large public beach. The village where the hotel is situated is not Vada but Mazzanta and is a bit of a dead town, but a nice quiet place for families.

    Air conditioner was not cooling very well as expected even having twoequipment in the appartment. Needed to leave on full operation mode all the time to have a confortable temperature inside.

    I took the appartment for 4 people with 1 bedroom. The sofa bed was not amazing in comfort but sufficient for kids. Overall the appartment was in good condition and confortable.

    The receptionists we met were not very helpful or service-minded, the food is children-friendly but not very exciting. The elevator to our floor did not work.

    The pool area and play ground was a big hit for our family, and the walk to the beach was pleasant. The staff at the restaurant was sweet and the breakfast was also good.

    I didn't quite understand the concept of apartment vs hotel service in a hotel. It's kinda new to me it has to be a region specific thing, since I've travelled the world and this is the first time I have seen it being worked out like this. Basically if you pay for the hotel service, you will get daily cleanup, and if you pay for apartment, you will get a one mid-stay cleanup. And this is just fine, because really I don't need daily cleanup of the hotel room. But what I didn't expect is that the sheets changing was not included in the mid-stay cleanup. Apartment was cleaned, but the beda were made with existing sheets. This is my only negative, but since maybe I misunderstood the rules, I will give a high grade not taking this into the account.

    Room (superior apartment with one bedroom) was quite nice. Clean. Comfortable pull-up sofa and double bed. It seems like it was recently renovated. Hotel staff, no complaints, allways there to help and answer questions. Nearby parking in the shadow. Pool, although not very large wasn't overcrowded. There was allways enough sunbeds for everybody near the pool. I would like to praise the restaurant/caffe staff for allways being nice. I never used it for meals just drinks/snacks, so I can't comment on the food.

    Good hotel in a quiet location, all amenities in the room, kitchen and crockery, air conditioning in every room. A large pool for adults and a shallow pool for children, a separate room with a pool of warm water. Near the beach, 10 minutes walk, fine sand and not deep sea. The village has everything you need, in the evening there are restaurants with delicious pizza, an alcohol store, attractions for children and adults. Close to supermarkets, by car 10-15 minutes. Comfortable rest for a family with children or the elderly.

    The kitchen unit would need to be replaced, the drawers and doors would not close properly. The walls are not soundproofed and every word can be heard from the neighboring rooms.

    The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, minor problem with room equipment was immediately resolved. The hotel is well located few steps from the main street where are restaurants and shops. The public beach is about 500 m from the hotel (pleasant walk through the costal forest). The hotel pool is well maintained and there are plenty of sun loungers around the pool.
