다이아나 그랜드 호텔

This used to be a family owned hotel but it has changed owners. This hotel used to be the best hotel on the beach *****. It has a great position on the *****. It has a large private beach. It has big outdoor spaces. A large upstairs terrazzo. Unfortunately, the new owners either don’t have the money to maintain the hotel properly or restore the rooms (which are in need of restoration) or they don’t want to spend the money. They have done some really badly done cheap fixes. Embarrassing and a travesty. The new owners may not have good taste or ideas either. It’s obvious. They charge a lot for the rooms but the rooms are awful. It’s unfortunate. The hotel has great potential but it will not live up to its potential with these owners. The recent restaurant manager ( at least for the beachfront restaurant) is not good. Previous managers were better. To have good employees, you must pay them sufficiently.

We decided to return to Alassio for our second honeymoon, 40 years after the first one. Alassio was also the favorite holiday destination of my parents because of its romantic center full of narrow lively little streets and the beautiful scenery. We remembered having seen the hotel from a distance in the past and visited the website. We were attracted by the info regarding the terraces and the cuisine and decided to book. On arrival we were struck by the design of the lobby and the restaurant and by the view on the bay. You could easily see that great investments have been made to create the interior. On the outside there is still some work to do. The reception staff was very friendly and made us feel at home instantly. Our room with a nice balcony and sea view was good but not spectacular. The airco worked very well and the room was kept clean very neatly. The private beach was extremely well managed by a knowledgeable lady with 30 years of experience. For us the biggest asset of the hotel is the kitchen staff and its chef Yari, a real artist. Since the hotel is located a bit outside of the very center, the surrounding is more quiet, especially when you book a room on the seaside. But to get to the very center it only takes a 5-10 minutes walk along the beach.

Un hotel che all'entrata tenta ma dentro ti spaventa. Le stanze sono terrificanti e sporche e scomode. Da non tornare mai più. Lo sconsiglio fortemente.

Le bâtiment date des années 70. Si vous passez devant, vous ne vous arrêterez pas. Dans un des bâtiments les chambres sont très modernes, largement au goût d aujourd’hui. Grande douche et tout confort. Le déjeuner est très bien. On déjeune sur la terrasse avec vue sur mer. Super. Il y a une piscine…des années 70 semi intérieure. Sinon c est parasol sur la plage à 50 euro les deux sièges et le parasol. Le resto est bien au bord de la plage. Le prix me semble un peu élevé mais l avis global est bon.

Soggiorno con famiglia, bella vacanza. Ottimo il ristorante per colazione e cena, spiaggia curata ed organizzata, spazi comuni molto belli e luminosi. Camere ok. Alla prossima!

Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen ist das Personal Mega arrogant und unglaublich unfreundlich. Zimmer mit salpeter und Schimmel!!
