Extremely Disappointing

The location was good, the accommodation was sub standard- old, dirty, full of mould and in desperate need of a total renovation. The bathroom leaked so badly water was running into the bedroom. The TV didn’t work, the rusty fridge leaked and hadn’t been cleaned inside or out. The only real positive was the restaurant we visited. Benjamin offered a high standard of service and the food was very good. We would never go back and definitely not recommend staying there - it’s a health trap!
Mould throughout
Leaky Bathroom

Property in terrible condition. Falling apart. Pictures on Expedia do not reflect the actual condition of the condos. No internet in the room. TV was miniature, 30 years old. I was at this property 1980s an no improvements have been made since then. Beach and swimming is nice, employees are nice and cordial but that is about it...

What a wonderful stay! It has been 20 years since me and my family's last holiday in Lanterna and we were happy to find out the place is still as beautiful, quiet and safe as we remember. Holidays were fantastic and we made the most of it when relaxing and recharging, what was our trip's main purpose. However, we were utterly disappointed to discover that condition of the apartments was very poor and far from the pictures advertised. Sadly, instead of receiving proper maintenance / upgrade over the years, the apartments were left to its own demise. Paint peeling of the wall and windows, windows and doors not shutting properly, dated bathroom and furniture.. So much money collected from visitors over the years, yet zero investment to the property maintenance - heartbreaking. Cleanliness could also be improved, finding a layer of dust on the bed frames or on the kitchen counter was not pleasant. We got over this surprise and enjoyed our stay regardless but I feel it's important to list the urgent need of renovation, so the overall experience is improved, as it is indeed long overdue.

Advarsel - book ikke dette sted: Ekstremt misligholdt resort, hvor standen var så dårlig at vi flyttede væk efter én af 6 bookede overnatninger. Potentielt farlig situation hvor baderumsglas sad løst, lejligheden lugtede af mug og havde tydelige tegn på fugtskader, der var hul i én dør og store afskallede plamager på en anden. Der var ikke wifi, mikrobølgeovn eller kedel, som det stod i annoncen og udendørsfaciliteterne var ødelagte og misligholdt. Der var ikke tilbud om et bedre alternativ, da alt var i samme dårlige stand.

Upplev Sovjet

Kändes som en militäranläggning från Titos tid, renoverat senast ca 1973. Stora huslängor som mer påminner om ett miljonprojekt i en väldigt avlägsen Sovjetisk stad snarare än en semesterresort…
