The staff was very nice. The outdoor pool was clean but cool. The balcony was big enough to enjoy but the Roman Road was one of the highlights above the hotel! Cool beehives and old homes to explore in.

Good for one night
The hotel is a bit dated... all the facilities were closed yet they didn't mention it on the site. We had a huge balcony not facing the sun and a tiny room and the hot air system irritated me so we sat in the cold on the apartment. Overall it's ok but not somewhere I would have wanted to stay very long

For the price the penthouse was really nice. The facilities are tired and it isnt the most accessibility friendly layout. The staff were ok, you have to leave your key at reception everytime you go out.

A fantastic stay at Porto Azzurro Aparthotel
As previous stays, this stay was very pleasant. Staff very nice and helpful, room (actually we had an apartment) clean and very spacious. Pool also very nice. Only snag is that so far there is no pool bar.

The hotel was great. Easy parking, good location. Rooms and pool were nice. We did the half board, and the dinner could have been better. The food options were okay, but the dessert was disappointing. Kids were excited about the soft serve machine but the ice cream was just watery sweet. I liked the dinner convenience, but the quality needs improvement.

Good Value, Great Staff & Beautiful Location
Great Staff and very welcoming with great explanations of how the hotel works, the room was great for the value and in good condition. The location of the hotel is close to the water and close to local transport to get around to other parts of the island.

Nice penthouse with a view
The penthouse was great! Top floor overlooking the bay. All equipments were nice. The resort is a little old but well renovated. Staff members were nice and welcoming. The bed comfort is OK but not the best. Kitchen is nice and well equiped. We would have appreciated dishwashing liquid and something to wash the dishes. Overall, a great stay.

Perfect base for traveling
The people on reception were very nice and helpful. Arrived late and was no bother at all. The apartments themselves were a decent size, just a bit dated but nothing too bad. We went before the season started so outdoor pool wasn't open. No problem though they had an indoor one. We just used it as a base and bis stop and shop just down the pathe from here.

Hostel standard.
Absolutely nothing good to note. Air conditioning that sounds like a fire alarm, shower that dribbles water so cant actually use, bed sheets that are yellow, doors that dont lock. Genuinely shocked that this would even be given a 1 star ive stayed in better hostels as a kid !

We only got 2 small bodywash when the two of us stayed there for 3 nights. When we asked for more all we got were excuses and refusal. They want to get money for every little thing - the blue towel for using the pool, the adaptor... The bed was terribly uncomfortable.

Overcharged - would not go back
Hotel was ok, bit old but it's not worth the money we have paid. We were asked to pay 24 euros on top of what we paid because for some reason children age was not stated. Our booking was for 2 adults and 2 children but children age showed as 0 age, I don't know how as you can't really select 0, as 0 is for infant. Totaling the money we paid we could get much better hotel. Thee are no instructions how to get to the hotel, despite my request how it get there and for any directions nobody replied to my request. We had to take a taxi as we traveled in the evening. Receptionist was rude and only he was care about charging us extra for the kids, taxes. There was no remote control for the TV I guess you need to ask and who knows they would charge for that too. I would not recommend to friends and family and would not go back there.
