Porto Giardino - CDSHotels

Small but clean room

It's sort of like a Butlins holiday you have coloured wrist bands and live in little rooms that are very basic. Would l come again No

The property falsely advertises several features. They only had one restaurant open out of four (the buffet). They offered tours and when we went to book the tour we had to go check 4 times with them before we were ultimately told the night before the tour was supposed to happen that it wasn’t running. They made no effort to keep us updated on this. And worst of all they offered a shuttle to Monopoli city centre but when we inquired to book a time they informed us that we could not use the shuttle because they had rented this shuttle advertised as for all guests to a private group (for their additional profit). In place of this they simply printed out a local bus schedule for us. The largest downside of this location being its distance from the main cities, this made the stay particularly difficult. Finally, the private beach was fairly small but the larger problem was that the beach was dirty with seaweed (other nearby beaches had been cleaned) and there was additional charges to use the chairs. The facilities were generally old and need to be renovated.

It is a big, cozy and clean resort. Very good food.

Quiet place
