호텔 라 바티기아

The pool with the view of the beach and sea that was 30 seconds away was the great highlight. It was relaxing, clean and peaceful hotel without crowds and noise. The ocean waves was the only noise. It’s a great place to stay with the family for a quiet and chill vacation. The breakfast was great and filling with lots of options and great service from the staff. But if you want to shop, have dinning options, nightlife action, then you need to take a shuttle to Castelemare that’s 15 min away. Shuttles or taxis are not cheap. 25 euro one way. No parking available.

I was really looking forward to my stay here for a local destination wedding but continued to have many issues here. The week before my trip the hotel could not find my reservation that was paid in full almost a year prior. Because they were full, they could not accommodate me and I ended up having to take my brother’s room while he went to the sister Resort. Originally I was supposed to have a sea side view but unfortunately was left with a view of the parking lot. The only saving grace was good food, friendly WAITSTAFF and a very helpful front desk worker, Alessandro. The rest of the front desk staff were extremely rude, took almost 20 minutes to let me in at night because the staff was sleeping and didn’t hear me ring the bell, and worst of all they refused to let my hair and makeup artist come in to prepare for my day. They were extremely unhelpful claiming they were unaware of a wedding when 1) my travel agent specified it to them and 2) my welcome dinner was on site. The owner literally shrugged off my concerns and did not offer any assistance. I wish I stayed at the Resort instead to avoid the frustrations on my special day.
