VOI Colonna Village

A beautiful white Sandy beach, wonderful members of staff (who couldn’t do enough for us), lovely quaint, air conditioned rooms and amazing company, made this little getaway as special as it was. The sunrises were spectacular, food was nice and ambience by the beach at night was very peaceful and calming. My partner and I went for 1 week - half board. We just wanted a relaxing break. Others around us were full board or all inclusive. This makes sense as if you do not have a car, it’s a 10/15 minute drive to the port or anywhere else. We managed to get by at by the beach there were a couple of places to eat at lunchtime … The weather at the end of May was a mixture of sunshine, cloud and a little rain, but what can you do about that other than make the most of your time away. Thank you all for an incredible week away!! Lots of love Desi & Cheryl x

This place is not for the elderly so many steps and slopes which we found difficult. Pool bar was shut so if u need a drink up the stairs and slopes to get one exhausting. No hand rail to help u into pool even tho it is shallow needed my hubby to help me step in and out. We was a.i and restauarant ran out of beer twice this wasnt on tap it was given by the waiter in a jug but the bar under the restaurant had beer but no offer for anyone to go and get us any. Breaky ok but eggs bacon could be hotter need a chef to do the cooking. Lunch and eve was ok always a choice. Room wasnt nice needs refurb. Beach is lovely but no toilets no beach bar only a private one to pay even that shut on our 1st wk so nowhere to get a drink had to walk quite a way to the hotel then u had to pay for drink or food even tho we a.i. this place is far from anything no bus service available and taxi's were expensive. A small boutique on site but manly clothes perhaps b an idea if they sold at least water and few crisps and nibbles. Snacks between meals was olives nuts few crisps thats it. One evening no lights getting back to our room had to put torch on and walk carefully. The staff were lovely and done everything to help. They had a buggy running round the hotel to drop u off to the beach etc but that didnt help when u had to climb or walk to get a drink or to go to the loo. The toilets up at the bar smelt awful we and others reported this many times as sitting having a drink all we could smell was the toilet. The staff were all lovely. We dont recommend this place if you are elderly and jet 2 shoudnt either.

Holiday was excellent. This was our last holiday of the summer and we wanted some relaxation, together with sun and sea. My only criticism was the hot food being served luke-warm on most occasions. Even the soup could have done with being hotter. However the variety made up for it. It would have been a struggle for us if the site had not had a bus service. It is built on a very steep slope with lots of steps. We paid extra for a Superior Room and ours was the last row before the path to the beach, so not too far to walk.

To quote the manager of the hotel “this is a village not a hotel”. Terrible poorly maintained place. I would advise anyone with any sense to avoid it. For English visitors I would basically advise you only to book this hotel if you like an expensive version of Butlins. The breakfast and dinners are poor. The food is often lukewarm when served. The best item in the hotel is the cappuccinos in the morning. The beach is small and over crowded with everyone sitting on top of each other. The bar is expensive for the cheap quality booze they serve. The gym is an experience: basically some rusted pieces of broken equipment in an outdoor patio. Book this place at your peril.

Steep location, steps and no hand rails for support. Jet2 Holidays should have known better than to recommend this holiday to us. Several of the British guests who were also elderly or infirm complained of the same issues. No support on the steep steps down from one level to the next. They were almost 5 different levels from the top reception down to the beach! Even the pools had no grab rails. Another holidaymakers slipped and fell on the steps and ended up with multiple compound fractures on his hand and had to go to hospital! Hence, this is not a holiday that should be recommended for older people. Only the very young and very fit people. The holiday itself as a result is in a beautiful location and the weather was fine. Above all the staff there although they spoke very little English were very kind very helpful and did their absolute best to make us feel comfortable.

how I found voi colonna beach hotel. we booked a 10 day holiday through jet 2 on the 3rd sept 23 to the 13sept 23 staying at the voi colonna beach hotel in room 471 on a all inclusive, sea view option,almost £4000

We arrived late on a Saturday evening around 10:30pm. By the time the driver found the beach hotel (it's an annex right at the back of the hotel), it was nearer 11 by the time we checked in. We were given a map and a vague overview of the hotel. We were hungry and (as we were all inclusive) fancied a drink before bed. AI is only available until 11pm, so if we wanted anything, a gin and tonic was €12 each. The bar in the annex closed shortly after, so we had to traipse up the hill to the central bar. Food was a tub of crisps donated to us by our dear friends. It wasn’t clear what we actually got with our AI and the food and drink differed between bars and restaurants. Unclear what drinks we could have where and No consistency. We were a group of four and on the following evening (24 hours later), when we arrived in the restaurant, we were told that we should have been allocated a table, but weren't. There was no table so we had to sit four on a table for two. That was rectified the following day, but on our last day, at lunchtime, the table we had been allocated was removed and split for someone else. We ended up being in the corner out-of-the-way. The restaurant is understaffed and run by adolescents who are poorly managed, trying to do their best. Keeping with the restaurant theme, the food was ok. However there was a very obvious preference for the Italian residents over anyone else. Portion sizes, choosing who gets served, quality of what goes on the plate, all made us feel we were being treated as second class. I must mention Christian: He was mostly on the main course/meat fish section. He definitely gave us second class treatment and had a knack of slopping food onto our plates, either from a great height or long distance. I had a plate of pork fat given to me on one sitting. The tap water was not drinkable. There is no provision of bottled water and therefore the only water available was in a plastic cup (erm, they promote their eco footprint) or in bottles at breakfast or dinner. We were actually told-off for filling our bottles at breakfast. It became a farce, where one would keep watch while the others filled cups with water and decanted into drinking bottles. Furthermore, there was no drinking water available at the beach. There was no iron and no kettle in the rooms (not that we had much drinking water). When we asked for an iron, we were told a flat (ha ha) no. The cost for a kettle was €50 deposit. The soap was interesting. It was a box of tablets and it was a bit like trying to wash with an alka-seltzer and lasted just as long. We had to go out to buy hand soap and shower gel Sun beds: There are five rows on the sea, then several rows further back. The front three are supposedly allocated to the superior rooms. However we were not allowed to use the beds near the sea despite it being late afternoon and there were many spare. On several days, there were many beds free and ironically several occu

there is much to improve but the food was fenomenal. the area around is clean, wellcared of the beach is great, clean as well, sunshade is big enough for 2 peaople the balcony view was on the beach and sea as well and the big plus goes to coffeemachine
