MarePineta Resort

We stayed here for 8 nights and we were very pleased. The hotel is beautiful, service is friendly and top, the restaurant is incredible with top quality and delicious food and a new menu every night. The beach is located right behind the hotel and the beach restaurant serves tasty and high quality food as well. We were very satisfied and happy with our choice to stay here. We love that the hotel is very family friendly. I don’t understand why the rating isn’t higher on google. I’m giving this hotel 5 stars on google. I highly recommend this hotel. And my husband and I will definitely come back again soon.

Despite being advertised as a 5-star resort, MarePineta felt more like a 3-star hotel at best. The service was underwhelming—slow and lacking attentiveness. The food was especially disappointing. In a country known for its culinary excellence, I expected much better. The risotto, a staple of Italian cuisine, was bland and uninspired. While the menu changed daily, unfortunately, so did the disappointment. One particularly confusing moment was being served an apple-flavored muffin in place of what was supposed to be an apple pie. As an English guest, that was truly baffling. The overall quality and flavor of the meals were very poor, to the point that although we had paid for half board, we found ourselves opting for takeaway every night instead. We raised our concerns with the management, but sadly, there was no genuine interest or effort shown to address the issues. The lack of care and quality made the whole experience far from pleasant. I wouldn’t recommend this resort and certainly don’t plan on returning.

I booked a stay at Mare Pineta Resort (Booking 1869-25) and had to leave within one hour of check-in due to the shocking condition of the assigned room. The room was heavily infested with mould, posing a serious health hazard. The only “solution” offered was to have housekeeping attempt to clean the mould while keeping us in the same room. No alternative room was provided. This was completely unacceptable given the severity of the issue. We immediately vacated the property, yet the hotel has refused to issue a refund — claiming they are not obligated to reimburse us despite failing to provide habitable accommodation. To make matters worse, the hotel denies the problem entirely and maintains they are blameless. This is not a matter of personal preference or minor dissatisfaction — the room was unfit for human occupancy. Guests deserve clean, safe, and healthy environments, and this was far from it. I strongly urge potential guests to reconsider before booking here. Our experience was both stressful and costly, and the hotel’s management showed no willingness to take responsibility. UPDATE: I stand by my review as an accurate account of my personal experience. Upon arrival, I found visible mould-like stains and other hygiene concerns in the assigned room. These were documented with photos. The only immediate solution offered was to have housekeeping clean the affected areas, and I was told no alternative room was available that day. As this did not address my concerns, I decided to leave within an hour of check-in. My review is not intended to defame but to share a truthful experience so future guests can make informed decisions. I welcome any interested party, including relevant consumer protection authorities, to review the evidence I have provided.
