It's a lower end property with very basic rooms. Breakfast was ok with a decent selection of food.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Clean place and nice rooms. Only down fall is it’s a little dated. Could use some updates. Other than that it’s a very nice place. Breakfast was amazing! Fresh eggs your way made to order with a barista on standby to make your espresso or cappuccino. 7/10 I would highly recommend this place.
Thanks for having us.
Very nice place. Hotel people are really very kind.

It's an ok hotel. A bit run down. It's cheap and clean with a good breakfast so that's a positive. But if you do not have a car you have to rely of the rare city bus to take you to a restaurant - closest of which is about 4km away. There is a restaurant on premises but it's very limited.

Very pleased we didn’t pay full price for this hotel. Being by the sea was really lovely and the staff were good but the hotel / our room was very rundown.
The reviews for the restaurant aren’t good so we decided to go into Giovinazzo (8miles away), the hotel staff said a taxi was €40, we ended up booking an uber which was €18! We were told a taxi to the airport (5miles) was €35, an uber was €23. This doesn’t reflect the score of the hotel / staff but thought it would be helpful for other travellers.
Very nice hotel near the beach, not far from airport and from Bari center. Very good breakfast, nice beach bar, big pool, just it’s mandatory to wear cap in the pool
This hotel was a great stop-over for one night, my only wish is that I had more time to spend there.
The grounds a beautiful, it’s got a nice big pool and it’s right on the beach. Dinner and breakfast were great.
Loved our stay here, wish we could have stayed longer. Only downside, is the train noise during the night.

The property was nice, the beach area very quaint. The animatori were playing music and dancing. Hotel staff directed us to Giovinazzo for dinner which had a bunch of great options. The rooms were dated, mattress too firm but all around spacious.
