We stayed at the Grand Hotel some years ago. At that time the hotel was decadent yet charming. We stayed again last april, in a newly restored room. Wow, despite the ancient charm was still present, everything was immaculately restored. The bathroom was beautiful with mosaic tiles and the room had a new marble floor. The locatios is always the best in town.

If you want to feel yourself like in another era just go to this beautiful, old hotel, victim of the visionary Fellini's imagination. Super-elegant, majestic yet old (but after all well kept). With a 6 star staff. Do not wonder of techno equipments or perfection (it's gone with the 80's). But it's the right place if you want the barman to give you the best cocktail in the world. The same one that, he will discreetly tell you, once he served to that king or that Hollywood diva. Spa is good. But it HAS to be fantastic. So it's not at the same level of the place.

This hotel might have been great 40 years ago, but its heyday is a distant memory. This hotel was one of eighteen that my family stayed at in on our three country 2 1/2 month trip. The price was ridiculous for what was offered. Our travel agency booked for a sea view room with a king bed. When we got there, we had a queen with a garden view. They told me that those criteria are just recommendations and not guaranteed by the hotel. The worst part is that the air conditioning did not work. The room was like being inside a boiler. After multiple requests and attempts to fix it, it still never worked. The beach price is absolutely crazy. They wanted 150 euros a day for a front row umbrella. There cheapest is 90 euros for day. The next beach over was 16 euros. The one nice thing they had was the kids camp, which our son enjoyed. They also charged me 150 euros for breakfast for a three year old. I indicated that in the reservations that the agent had booked for three three (in our other seventeen stops we had no problems). They charged me, and I had a very ugly confrontation with the morning manager. Mind you, I speak fluent Italian and was dismissed extremely rudely. The saving grace for this area was a restaurant that was excellent in which we ate lunch and dinner. Lo Squero I can not give lower than 1 star unfortunately.

this hotel was so nice with great service, food, and setting. The pool was nice and the beach was great. The food and service was wonderful even though the food was a little pricey it was worth it. The whole experience was great and I would definitely go back if I had the chance.

Stayed at this hotel one night in September, the hotel is beautiful as is the garden, but check-in was quite slow. My room was in the annex, which was also a beautiful building, just around the corner from the Grand hotel. Very efficient ac, beautiful bathroom with excellent shower. TV with only Italian channels. Excellent breakfast. The pool area was quite small and for most of the day in the shadow. Beach was beautiful, but as many others have pointed out you had to pay approx EUR 50:-- for a chair at the third row. If you walk a bit further along the beach you will find places where they rent out chairs for EUR 4:--/day, a bit mor reasonable!
