Hotel Residence Roccamare

Right by the private beach. There are two swimming pools on has some jets and is a very odd shape and the other is more like a normal pool. The pools weren’t the warmest but a great way to get out of the heat. The villas were very nice with air conditioning in every room the kitchen and bathroom were a bit cramped but very functional.

Do not book this place!! The staff is rude and will do everything in their power to make you feel unwelcome. We have booked their largest 6 person villa (an old furnished hut) but they only give you two sun beds at the beach for free and will charge you 40€ per sunbed per day extra. Pure cheek. For 5000 euros for two weeks, you don’t get any normal amenities. If you put up your own umbrella, the life guard wants to banish you from the so called private beach. And wants you to move to the public area. Basically the hotel guest has less rights than people from the street. Playing with any toys or sun Mattresses inside their pool is not allowed. Basically the life guards think they are your personal rule instructors from hell. No holiday feeling on the beach or the pool. Their breakfast is simply terrible. We canceled it after one morning, to buy our own stuff. Mattresses inside the Villa haven’t been replaced in about 20 years and the duvet is the cheapest polyester. We have met a lot of other families who were complaining daily at the reception. Not worth your time and money.

One of the worst holiday experiences ever made! The staff is really unfriendly and not helpful at all if you want to have a relaxing vacation. My family and I booked their largest 6 person villa (an old furnished hut, not comfortable, no WiFi inside the villa and no dish washer!). But they only give you two sun beds at the beach for free and will charge you 30€ per sunbed per day extra. I expected a lot more because you pay around 5000 euros for two weeks. If you put up your own umbrella, the life guard wants to banish you from the so called "private beach" . Which is pure nonsense because the beach area belongs to the government. So in fact, the hotel guests have less rights than people from the street. Playing with any toys (for kids) or sun Mattresses inside their pool is not allowed. This made absolutely no sense at all, because when we booked the place, they closed the beach for three days in a row because they needed to reconstruct the whole beach area... Which also caused a lot of noise! No holiday feeling on the beach or the pool. Their breakfast is simply terrible and the whole hotel looks like a run down place from the 1980s. We canceled it after one morning, to buy our own stuff. Mattresses inside the Villa haven’t been replaced in about 20 years and the duvet is the cheapest polyester. Would never spend my vacation there again!!!

Beginning of Octobre. A la carte restaurant terribly understaffed. In service as well as in the kitchen. Tough job for everyone involved and therefore the overall experience lacked a lot of course. Wheras the food was exceptional a year ago, this time around, its been less than average. Your local take away would do equaly good most prob 😉. Menu was quite boring as well. The location and overall setting could just make up for it this time. Hoping to see significant improvements on the service and food level next time around, there is plenty of other nice resorts nearby otherwhise.
