Location is fantastic and the best thing was being able to swim directly from the rocks at the bottom of the steps leading down from the hotel in crystal blue waters. Amazing sunsets too. However the hotel is a bit tatty and needs to be freshened up, paint was peeling off doors, bathroom shelf was falling off, sockets coming off walls, rattly air con, missing lightbulb in our room when we arrived etc Most staff only speak Italian, some a bit of German, only one person spoke English so it was hard to get help. By far the worst thing was that you had to pay an 80 Euro surcharge for 'use of the pool and beach'. Why not just include this in the price? The pool staff used the pool area as their own personal disco every day, blaring loud music while they were there for 3 hours each morning and 3 hours each evening and throwing each other in the pool. The pool bar could really do with being done up as it's an amazing pool and view and could be so much better. Would still recommend this hotel for the location, view and proximity to Santa Teresa town although you must have a bike or car to get around, only 8 minutes driving to town.
