Club Esse Cala Bitta

The air-conditioner didn't work properly, I reported it to a manager of the hotel, he sent someone the next day to check, he said everything was fine and working properly. I stayed in other branch of club esse in stintino which the air-condition was very cold. So for me wasn't working at all, it was pumping warm air without cooling. Also I didn't like the club esse card to pay the drinks. I was asked to pay a deposit for €5 which they gave me back in the end of stay. I credited the card €20. At the end of my stay there was €2 left on the card. Even though it was only 2 euros, I asked to be refunded, they told me that couldn't be refunded because I used a debit card, which i wasn't told when I got the card. So if I had €30 or 50 left on my club esse card? I couldn't be refunded?! And waste my money because we can't pay drinks with cash or card? This is really unfair! and how to steal money to people's!

We spent 3 night at the hotel and to be honest it wasn’t so good, the price is kind of expensive for nothing. Even an Aron the hotel didn’t have to lend to me. The hostel has focus in family with kids so make sure you know that before you make your reservation. The breakfast was kind of good.

The place and management service let's the rest of the Club Esse organisation down severely!! We have experienced apartments had no hot water and were forced to have cold showers, the espresso machine in the outdated bar was broken and neither repaired or replaced so we weren't at all shocked at all the italians complaining! The photos on their website are not true to reality as they are taken from the opposite side of their little beach. The sea is not as clean and clear as pictured, in fact there are no photos of the mini port they have which contaminate the water, why is this hidden? We were welcomed by dog poo in various ares which isn't cleaned up, hence dries and remains for days. Infact we even found it outside our apartment door!! Nobody observes rules, as no one imposes them, hence fire escapes are being used as main entrances which are stopping air-conditioning working properly. The only positive side is a wonderful room maid called Carmen who did a fantastic job and the food was wonderful. The entertainment team were great but need to be trained on how to deal with bullies, yes there was bullying amongst some teenagers, but it was just ignored as some were favoured, which we found very disturbing. I think the way this resort is run needs to be really looked at IN DEPTH and at all angles! They risk losing many clients and the organisation will get a bad reputation! The worse part is that when we complained, their customer service manners were shocking and rude. I would recommend not booking this place.
