Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was a mix of incredible room comfort and breathtaking views, but it had minor inconveniences like a delay during check-in. The room, with its beautiful windows and balcony overlooking the bays, was truly out of this world, providing a spacious layout and a large terrace with sun loungers for utmost relaxation. However, it was a bit disappointing that the room wasn't ready when we arrived at check-in time.
My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The rooms were nice and cool, which was a relief after being under the sun all day, but I was a bit envious of the missing welcome gifts in our room compared to others. Also, if you're looking for a sea view, be prepared for some noise. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff from the reception to the beach club offering top-notch services. The location was charming and convenient, just a short walk from town and the train station, though not ideal for less mobile guests. The dining experience was exceptional, especially breakfast with its varied options and delicious pastries. The facilities were great, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, a wonderful 4-day experience with some minor hiccups.
Upon checking in, the room was not prepared, but overall, my stay was wonderful. The hotel is finished to a high standard, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful, providing excellent restaurant recommendations that should be booked in advance. However, the rooms are VERY dark if you do not book a seaview room.
When I arrived at the hotel, the rooms weren't ready, even though it didn't seem very busy. However, once I got inside, the room was the same as expected, featuring a beautiful expansive balcony with a stunning sea view. It was a bit strange that there was no tea or coffee provided, especially with the outside temperature already reaching 25 degrees, making it quite hot.
The hotel had beautiful rooms, but it was disappointing that there was no tea or coffee provided, especially with an outside temperature of 25 degrees making it quite hot. Despite this, everything else was good overall.
The hotel offers stunning sea views and a convenient location for exploring Santa Margherita and nearby attractions. The rooms, although with lovely balconies overlooking the sea, can be noisy due to traffic and obstructed views at times. The service is friendly and helpful, and the dining experience is superb with delicious options. Prices are reasonable, with some areas for improvement.
The hotel offers a mix of amazing room options, with a large terrace featuring sun loungers and stunning sea views. However, there is room for improvement in maintaining the five-star status of the property.
This hotel offers a beautiful location in Santa Margherita Ligure on the border with Rapallo, with gorgeous views and easy access to Monterosso. The rooms are lovely, especially the junior suite with a balcony and sea view, however, the constant noise from passing motorbikes can be disruptive. The service is top-notch with professional management and attentive staff, although they appear tired at times. The dining experience is delightful, especially enjoying city and sea views from the veranda. The facility boasts a beautiful pool and is very close to the train station for added convenience.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are spacious and boast a stunning view, but show signs of wear. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff members being very professional while others fell short. The location is great, providing private seaside access, but there were some issues with sunlounger bookings. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
