Grand Hotel Dei Cesari

The private pool and sandy terrace had a nice atmosphere, and the room’s ocean view was great. The rest of the place feels quite dated, though it is kept clean. Getting to the room meant a bit of a walk through a tunnel from reception, which was a hassle. The shower has strong water pressure, but it’s cramped and dark, the door doesn’t close all the way, and there’s nowhere to put soap. There’s no safe in the room. You can use the safe service at the lobby, but that’s a walk away.

Being so close to the beach was amazing, and our room was as clean as it could be given the hotel’s age. Still, the place is very old and outdated. The two towel racks in our bathroom fell apart if you just touched them, the bed was hard, and we were only given one towel. A bottle of water cost 2 euros, and use of the pool or weight room cost extra.

The sea view is about the only decent thing here. Everything else was awful: the bed had hairs all over it, the food was disgusting and inedible, and my friend found cockroaches in his room. WiFi costs extra and barely works. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

It’s close to the beach, but everything was closed, so you couldn’t even go for a swim. The hotel itself is old, the room feels 40 years old, the bed is hard, and the sheets are a disgusting yellow. There were lots of bugs and insects, and other guests were loud. The food was terrible, undercooked and unseasoned, and breakfast was disappointing, with old, hard bread. The pool only operates until 8. You have to pay to use a towel or have the trash taken out. There’s no drinking water, and a 0.5L bottle costs 2 euros. I don’t recommend it. It wasn’t worth the money or the patience.
