This hotel needs also some Tender Love: the first room they gave us had a mattress that looked like an elephant had just got up from there. Bathroom really outdated. They then transferred us in another triple room: I do not think this room is ok to host more than 2 people. It felt crammed, and in case of fire, I believe we would not have made it out.
My friend said: it looks like a hospital room.. Well, when my son video called and I showed him the room he said: wow, it looks like a orphanage room... :-(
Also, we were not informed that if we wanted to use the beach (private beach it said), we needed to pay.. OMG! What a rip off.. On a good note, the restaurant food was outstanding..

The beach is lovely, the lady on reception was also lovely. Car park is close by. Balcony was lovely as we were in 208 so had the corner view. The room was a little tired, the bathroom not great but ideal for our 1 nighter before the ferry

Sea Views

It was OK, nothing spectacular about this place but again nothing too bad. It was the end of the season, maybe everyone had had enough, the staff didn't really seem too interested and the breakfast was OK. Overall it just felt a bit mediocre. Average value for money.

Hotel is old and tired

Everything was Ok...just Ok. The pool was small but clean, you had to wear a cap. The beach was fine and quite private, but you were assigned beach chairs and there was definitely an honour system in place. The room was small and the mattress poor but typically Italian. The hotel was near nothing but a short drive to town. The parking situation was a little ugly. we got blocked in several times and had to wait 10 to 15 min.

Il bagno e l'aria condizionata devono essere rifatti da risanare. Il bagno é vecchio e l'aria condizionata quando si aumenta la potenza sembra un elicottero, insopportabile.

A fuir absolument!

À fuir absolument !!
Nous avions réservé 4 nuits à l’hôtel Gabbiano… nous sommes partis au bout d’UNE seule ! Une expérience cauchemardesque du début à la fin. La piscine est RIDICULEMENT petite, et cerise sur le gâteau : elle est fermée de 12h à 16h, en plein moment où on aimerait se rafraîchir. Ajoutez à cela un accès à la mer quasi impossible : drapeau rouge pendant 4h à cause de la mer agitée – super quand on a deux enfants de 8 et 5 ans qui crèvent de chaud…

Et ce n’est pas fini ! Bonnet de bain obligatoire à la piscine (2,50 € l’unité, évidemment à vos frais). Les serviettes de plage ? 5 € pièce. Et si vous pensez profiter des transats et parasols de l’hôtel : préparez encore 20 € par jour ! Une honte.

Côté ambiance : un enfer sonore. Musique forte et cris jusqu’à 1h du matin, impossible de dormir. Le petit déjeuner ? Inexistant. Aucun choix, et le peu qu’il y a est franchement mauvais.

Bref, une arnaque du début à la fin. Hôtel bruyant, mal organisé, cher pour ce que c’est, et totalement inadapté pour les familles. Une nuit nous a suffi pour comprendre : à éviter comme la peste !

In allem gesehen sehr gut. Auch zu essen findet man was in der Straße oder mit wenigen Fahrminuten. Animation ist sehr nett und das gesamte Personal freundlich. Strand ist sauber, allerdings Steine, daher nur mit Schuhen zu empfehlen.

Hotel accogliente con personale disponibile. Posizionato sul mare e dotato di piscina per bambini, ma piacevole anche per gli adulti. Struttura funzionale per persone con eventuali disabilità, grazie anche all’assistenza continua dei bagnini, sempre disponibili e attenti. Camera standard prenotata tramite expedia, comoda con balcone lato strada, ma bagno molto piccolo con doccia solo per persone “molto magre” e assenza di supporti per detergenti (ci si deve organizzare!).
Nonostante un bel lungomare e la spiaggia molto ampia, la zona non offre attività di intrattenimento. Per tale motivo, un plauso speciale va allo Staff dell’animazione presente in Hotel, Federica, Francesca, Michele e Mario, che con gentilezza e simpatia riescono a coinvolgere tutti nelle loro attività, balli, giochi e sketch divertenti, rendendo piacevole la permanenza in hotel.

Et hotel primært for italienske familier

Udemærket hotel, men absolut kun til de 3 stjerner de har. Ikke mange muligheder i nærheden af hotellet. Kun front personalet kunne kommunikere på engelsk.
