We've arrived to Garda lake at 9pm, only to find the residence we've ordered in advance was inadequate. After a short search in Trip Advisor, we decided to check out Spiaggia d'Oro hotel. Not many places will accept you so late at night, with no pre-order. But Omar, the owner, and Camrul, the night manager took us in with care and compassion. We've spent the week in this great hotel and found it perfect in all aspects. ||* Security: All regions of the hotel are locked and accessed by keypad - this includes the main gate, parking and front doors. There's a closed-circuit camera system which further protects the guests. ||* Maintenance - The place is maintained just perfectly. I've visited a number of 5+ star hotels which have been maintained less than this one. I haven't encountered a broken handle, a rusty faucet or a non-functional light all throughout our stay.||* Rooms - For a family of four, the room was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had a microwave, stove, oven, refrigirator, sink, a full set of dishes and cutlery, pots and pans, air vent and even a place for washed dishes. They even had a washing machine in the room! The design was very pleasent, the beds were comfortable, and all rooms had a huge balcony with an extra dining table facing the pool. Though the TV screens were a little small, they had HDMI input which allowed us to stream movies from our laptop. The bathroom had a toilet, a bide, a standing shower and sink. It was spacious, and as said before - very well maintained. There was Wifi available in every room - with a router on each floor for best availability.||* Pool - The pool was big and very clean. Much of the pool space was low-water so the kids could play there safely. Plenty of pool beds around the pool allowed all the guests to sit easily. There was grass all around with a playing area for kids, and even floaties. Garden apartments had immediate access to the pool out of their porch. ||* Service - Not less than perfect. Omar the owner and Camrul the night manager were always helpful and nice. They helped with matters concerning the stay, as well as recommended trips and attractions. They were always available and Omar also gave us his private phone number to call at all times. It was apparent how Omar cares about his hotel, with detailed signs everywhere, careful design and maintenance.||* Location - a couple of minutes walk from the beach, and we got free umbrellas from the hotel. 5 min drive from the port of Desenzano, 25 min from Gradaland. Lots of great restaurants in the area (best was Rossi&Rossi), Penny market next to the hotel and a gas station across the street. ||I highly recommend the place for anyone travelling...
