Resort was clean, access to the private beach with chair and towel availability. Upon check in we were informed that the hotel was not the same as advertised with a cliff side dining experience however it was at the sister hotel and reservations and rail seating was priority to us as hotel guests. The town of Polignano A Mare was easily accessible from the resort and transportation was arraigned by the front desk.
