"I would’ve loved if ingredients and allergies were displayed on the app to order food and on the cards for breakfast. Reallyyyyyy enjoyed the complimentary happy hour bottomless wine and the complimentary yoga/pilates classes. Private access to the beach was great, honestly no reason to leave! Cant wait to be back and will be posting on socials about it."

"Room was clean, staff was very nice. Breakfast was adequate. Good location. Unfortunately- the check in desk closed every day at 8pm so there was no staff on site after that time for amenities or other issues. Otherwise we had a great stay"

Hotel Baia Grande

Hotel Baia Grande

8/10 Good
"Hotels not that big. Perfect really. Had a great time with the family, made it feel relaxed and peaceful. Theres just a few things that need improving, we found spiders and ants in my room. We could never quite figure out the lights. The Pool closed 7pm which I felt was a bit early, especially being in the Summer. They also do BBQ nights on Thursday… when we called it was fully booked. We would have loved to have experienced it, so perhaps encouraging guests to reserve in advance would help or cater for more. Towels for some reason are changed up at reception instead of the pool area which I found inconvenient. Overall, these were only minor issues and didn’t take away from what was a lovely family holiday. We’d happily return."
