Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and incredibly spacious rooms with free sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, good furnishings, quality linen, secure parking, and a convenient location for accessing Pescara Airport or Ortona Harbour. However, the room size may be too small for a family of 4.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, well-furnished, and featured free sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, plus beach towels. The only downside was the outdated tube TV. The location is perfect for easy access to Pescara Airport or Ortona Harbour, with a large balcony offering a partial ocean view.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, equipped with free sunbeds, umbrellas, and beach towels for a relaxing beach experience. The partial ocean view from the large balcony added to the charm. The location was convenient for accessing Pescara Airport or Ortona Harbour, with good parking facilities. However, the dining options were a bit lackluster, and the nearby evening venues were limited.
The hotel is situated in a stunning location with soft white sand, close to the beach in Lido Riccio. The rooms offer a partial ocean view and come with large balconies that have free sunbeds and umbrellas. The service is top-notch with friendly and attentive staff, especially the morning manager. The dining experience is excellent and convenient for beachgoers. However, the hotel lacks surrounding dining options and sometimes runs out of eggs. The facilities are well-maintained, making it a great choice for a beach getaway.
The hotel is a hidden gem, offering spacious rooms with quality linens and convenient amenities. The friendly staff, especially our attentive waiter at breakfast, made our stay memorable. The location near the beach and Ortona Harbour was perfect, although dining options were limited. The included beach facilities were a pleasant surprise.
