Una cattedrale nel deserto

Il Grotta Palazzese beach hotel non ha assolutamente gli standard di un 5 stelle. La posizione non è strategica, per raggiungere Polignano vanno spesi 15 euro a tratta con il calessino e non abbiamo compreso come mai l'hotel non offra un servizio navetta gratuito. La colazione è piuttosto sguarnita. Le camere, seppur molto belle risultano poco funzionali. La spiaggia è incantevole ma non basta!

8/10 Very good

Resort was clean, access to the private beach with chair and towel availability. Upon check in we were informed that the hotel was not the same as advertised with a cliff side dining experience however it was at the sister hotel and reservations and rail seating was priority to us as hotel guests. The town of Polignano A Mare was easily accessible from the resort and transportation was arraigned by the front desk.

Es un hotel alejado de Polignano Es necesario tener auto El personal es amable aunque no siempre Creo que debieran esforzarse más dado que es un hotel caro Lo mejor la recepción y la playa Sugerencia: mejorar y ampliar el menú del restaurante

Stay anywhere but at this hotel!

This hotel claims it is five star, more like 3 Star. Great location and that's it. Staff need more training, when you ask for anything, their go to answer is "Sorry No" It started at check in, we had to carry our own suitcases from our car to the hotel, we were given the wrong WIFI password and thigs just deteriorated from her. Breakfast, is minimal, there is no bar so you cannot even get a pre-dinner cocktail! most of the staff were terse, they look like they are bored and when you ask for anything, it seems to be a chore. My wife and I stayed for five nights and were very disappointed

Don’t miss this gem !

From the personalized greeting as we entered the property, to being welcomed as we parked. Every step of the reception process was exceptional and professional. Check-in was quick Rooms were outstanding The view is priceless The complementary shuttle between the hotel and downtown, whether you’re visiting the restaurant, or just spending time exploring.. the shuttle service was an unexpected bonus Every time we returned to our rooms, they had been reset cleaned and organized, as if we were arriving for the very first time Super professional staff, I am looking forward to the next visit already!
