6/10 Okay

Disliked: Staff & service
Just average, it's rows of interconnected small rooms with little personality and a little worn, e.g. rust in the bathroom. We booked a "superior garden view room" but were placed in room 302 which had view of the beach/parking, I only realised the mistake after checkout, didn't help my overall underwhelmed impression of the hotel.

Don’t book this hotel if you don’t want to pay more. After the free cancellation period of your booking ends, they make their own rules. They send you a link for additional payment (I had to pay my son’s stay twice). If you don’t pay, they don’t give you the keys and you can’t cancel your stay with Expedia anymore. Delphine is irreducible and thinks it’s right. The case is currently with Visa to process my refund.

Ein tolles Strandhotel, alles sauber, hilfsbereites Personal, ein gutes Restaurant, direkt am Strand. Der Strand ist praktisch ohne Steine, nur feiner Sand, belebt, aber bei weitem nicht überlaufen, gerade so das man sich nicht ganz allein fühlt. Für uns eine 12 von 10.

Charmerende sted med æsler fritgående på stier og de åbne områder. Tæt på strand og god restaurant og bar tæt på. Rimelige priser og dejlig kombination mellem Ude og inde. Og meget lækker morgenmad med korsikanske specialiteter.

Wunderschöner Ort direkt am Meer. Eher etwas abgelegen jedoch erreicht man die Hauptstadt in 35 Minuten mit dem Auto.Die Zimmer sind gross und modern. Das Restaurant top. Was man wissen muss: keine Dusche am Strand und Strandsachen (Tücher, Liegen, Sinnenschirme, etc.) muss man selber mitbringen. Dafür wird die Anlage immer wieder von ein paar Eseln besucht :-). Wir werden wieder die Anlage wieder besuchen! Gerne dann mit wiederverwendbaren Zahnputzgläser anstelle der Plastikbecher - der Rest war absolut top! :-)

Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à l’hôtel Marina di Lava, la plage qui borde l’hôtel est magnifique! La chambre était propre et agréable, une bouilloire pour se faire un thé/café et une bouteille d’eau à l’arrivée auraient été appréciables.
