Hotel Lido degli Spagnoli Reviews

Very pleasant and relaxing, with all staff extremely helpful throughout. A real holiday!

hotel tres froid dans l'accueil voir glacial idem pendant le séjour

The Hotel Lido degli Spagnoli has a great setting, on top of a hill overlooking a lovely sandy bay on one side and a rocky cove on the other. It's a little away from the main town of Portoscuso, about a 15/20 minute walk, but 2 minutes from the sandy beach, which has a couple of welcome beach bars. If you tire of the beach, the hotel has a lovely, heated pool with crystal clear water and a handful of beach beds (need to get there early I would imagine at the height of the season). For most of the time we ate in town, but had two meals at the hotel restaurant which were excellent (best sea bass, in terms of freshness, taste and presentation I have ever had!) Similar in price, too, to restaurants in town. It was early in their season when we went (early July) and the hotel was quiet, which made for a very relaxing trip. Staff were very friendly, helpful and spoke good English, and were more than happy to book taxis for us into town, the airport etc.. In all one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in, and worthy of its 4 star status.

Although the hotel is lovely it is rather remote, we had to pay 80euros each way for a taxi from the airport to the hotel, and unless you hire a car there are few services. On our arrival at the hotel we were informed a wedding reception was taking place around the pool which was outside our bedroom. This went on until 3am and no apologies for disturbing us. Also the roof terrace was cordened off and we were unable to use it until the day of our departure. The service during the day was non existant and we had to walk round the hotel to reception to ask for service at the pool. We were then charged a service charge for them to bring us a tea or coffee. On the day of our departure they had another wedding reception and we were not allowed to use the pool and there was no lunch time food or drink service and breakfast was very basic unlike the rest of the week. There was no tourist information in English and only two of the staff spoke English. I have to say both myself and my companion were very dissapointed with the holiday. On our departure we were give as bill for 206 euros for 3 dinners and a few coffees. Just not happy at all.
