Canasta

A bit pricey.

I wouldn't recommend this place. The staff came across as very unfriendly, and the rooms were too small. The mattress was extremely hard, the pillows too flat, and breakfast was poor, with undrinkable juice and dry cakes. We didn't try the other food. For the high price and low quality, it wasn't good value. Air conditioning costs extra.

The buffet at breakfast had a wide range of sweets, though very few savory choices. Lunch was another story: there were only vegetables, they ran out as soon as service began, and no one replenished them. Dinner had more side dishes, but those weren't refilled either. The food itself was terrible, like cafeteria food. Table service was acceptable, but sometimes pasta arrived with a hair on the plate, and the fruit was rotten. We stayed in a quadruple room in June. It was okay, nothing special, and having a private balcony was lovely. The bed was very uncomfortable, like sleeping on marble, the pillows were too low, and the bathroom was so tiny you could hardly wash yourself. Most of the staff were kind and courteous, except the breakfast and lunch waitress, who was rude and threw plates more than once.

The rooms seemed recently renovated and were bigger than what you'd find in standard Riccione hotels. The 32-inch TV was nice, and the walk-in shower meant the bathroom didn't flood. The location is a real plus, five minutes from the sea and about a half-hour walk from Viale Ceccarini. Parking is two minutes away. We stayed three nights on full board. The lunch buffet was a little limited compared with dinner, and table service could be better. Maybe it was inexperience, but there was no need to clear my plate while it was still in front of me. For the quality and price, I'd recommend it for a vacation.
