4.0

You can tell that the hotel was once a beautiful 5-star property, presumably at its opening. Unfortunately, the buildings are not well maintained and the overall look is outdated. You can still enjoy the different amenities - Pool, nearby beach, breakfast buffet... The absolute worst aspect of the stay, an aspect that is inexcusable for a "luxury" hotel is its staff. With the exception of the manager, a very kind and solution-oriented man, the team is incredibly rude. After drilling for days above our room, the smoke alarm started dripping water at 1AM, and when we reported it to the reception, we were accused of smoking in the room - Not only are we not smokers, but it would have caused a different reaction in the device itself. We were finally offered a replacement room, which was a whole grade below what we had paid for. When checking out, we were asked to pay for other guests' bills, as they input the wrong room number from the invoice into their system, and didn't let us go to sleep for more than one hour until they realized they indeed made a mistake. As someone who worked in the Luxury industry, I strongly advise the manager to reconsider Roberta at the reception, who yelled at me and my mother for telling her we are not paying someone else's bills, and talked trash about us to other staff members (not realizing I speak Italian and can understand exactly what she is saying). If that is the image of the hotel, it is no surprise that the rating on Booking is continuously going down...
