"The vibe is a much younger one than I am used to but I was there only for one night to catch an early morning flight. Everyone working there was polite and helpful. My room was clean and small, but I was only one person and I said at check in (3 hours early) that I did not care what room I had. It was everything I needed. I stayed at the pool all day after three weeks in the Italian heat wave....the pool was very nice, the view was spectacular and the food and drinks were terrific. I had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was delish. This hotel used to be some sort of school and it is VAST. The only thing I would caution is that elderly travelers might find it hard to navigate to different floors and rooms."

"Well I loved the theme and the decor of the hotel. I was shocked the pool is locked for hotel guests and a fee to use it with a reservation? Hotel guests should have priority over a day pass and it should be the opposite way around that outside guests need the reservation. It made a normal hotel stay where you randomly may go sit by the pool not a possibility, which was very unfortunate. Also be sure to ask how many people are in the communal reservation for dinner, because I would not have paid 70 euro just to awkwardly sit with one other couple."
