This hotel property and private beach are gorgeous. The staff was also lovely. However, this is FAR from a 5-star hotel. The place had 2-4 couples there for our entire 3-night stay. However, they put us in rooms right next to each other. And, our deluxe w-patio room overlooked the parking lot when there were many empty rooms with patios on the beach side. And, our room was smaller than most standard hotel rooms. There was no luggage rack or room to sit other than the bed. The breakfast was included and it was delicious. However, that is really the only amenity offered. I was shocked to learn that if you wanted to use the private beach as a guest, you had to pay 200E more than the already high price of the room. This is not how you treat 5-star guests. If you must, add 50E a night to the rooms and let the guests use the only amenity you have. There’s no bar, no lounge to socialize with other guests, no spa, no pool and literally nothing else offered. As gorgeous and expansive as the property is, there could be a lot more to offer. The dinner menu was brief and expensive. There was no welcome drink or happy hour/cocktail hour offered for guests. There are a million small ways to make this a true 5-star hotel and it stopped short. They did provide us a shuttle to the cave restaurant on their other property which was great and that experience was 5-star all the way (which we paid for). We planned our entire Italy holiday week around this as the ending hotel over my husband’s big birthday and we left disappointed for the $. :(
