Santa Caterina Village

Beautiful location, close to the sea with private beach, which, sadly, is only open from 8-20h. Very tasty food and cuisine in a form of buffet with free water available in the restaurant. The hotel also has pool areas that require swimming hat, a bar where you pay with your hotel card and an open theatre. The rooms are nice, air-conditioned (which is changeable at the reception) and cleaned daily. The staff are (mostly but not all) very sweet, even behind the language barrier. The locality is good with city centre being 5 minute walk away. However, you can expect everyday activities and loud music playing on the beach throughout the day which can be annoying to someone. Also expect lots of (often screaming) kids. Overall, great experience!

Great value for money! No resort fee because it is off season, so the stay was for about 40 EUR/night. Hotel was almost empty (end of october). Modern, renovated rooms with newest technology. Nice italian breakfast. Super nice service, they changed my room to sea view as it is stated in my booking (not every hotel does that, looking at you, Al Moggar Agadir...). So I got a room with balcony facing to the sea with breathtaking sunsets. 2 pools but I only used the smaller one (the big one was already fenced). Direct access to the beach. Free parking and wifi.

There were three of us there, two adults and a baby (3 months). When we arrived we were surprised that the average age in the hotel was over 60. The hotel is divided into two buildings, one which was behind the street, where you had a very long walk to the main building. We got a room which was not designed for a baby at all, a very small shower with a fixed shower head, no baby bed and very run down with mold in the bathroom, the water from the tap was slightly dirty. I asked for a different room as part of the hotel was being renovated and I would have paid for it... unfortunately they couldn't help me. When I saw the full buses where all the pensioners got off, I realized that this was their target group. The food was really a disgrace for Italy, designed for mass. The coffee from the vending machine was colored water... You can also get real coffee at the bar but only if you pay extra for it... we decided to leave the hotel after one night to save our vacation and of course to provide a better environment for the baby. Unfortunately I lost a lot of money but I don't regret it.
