We were a group of three adults and a two-year-old child. We paid €50 for two sun loungers on the beach and then had lunch at the restaurant. The beach is clean, beautifully maintained, and has a shallow entry into the water – perfect for families with small children. However, it was noticeably more crowded than the beaches at Santa Giulia or Palombaggia.
The service at the beach loungers was friendly and pleasant. At the restaurant, we were served by a kind young waitress who spoke a bit of English. We ordered a Virgin Colada, a beer, a juice, and one of the signature cocktails (€12). For food, we had the tuna tataki, a whole sea bream with potatoes and vegetables, and an Asian salad.
The tuna dish was excellent in terms of flavor but unfortunately quite small – we would have liked a more generous portion. The sea bream was okay but nothing special. The Asian salad was underwhelming. Overall, the food was decent but not particularly memorable. The Virgin Colada was also just average.
Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by an issue with one of the drinks. Instead of the ordered “Purple Drink”, we received a completely different cocktail that tasted strongly of lemon juice – even though the original drink was not supposed to contain any. We informed the waitress, and she brought over a male staff member who told us that all cocktails include lemon juice “for balance.” When I pointed out that this was not mentioned on the menu, he replied rather bluntly that “there’s not enough space on the menu to write that.”
We explained that the person who ordered the drink cannot have lemon juice, but there was no offer to remake the drink or provide an alternative. That kind of response was disappointing and showed a lack of professionalism. At this price point, we expected better service and at least some willingness to accommodate the customer.
To finish, we tried the ice cream (vanilla, chestnut, and coconut). It was decent, but not particularly impressive.
Conclusion: A beautiful beach and overall okay food, but the negative experience with the drink and the dismissive attitude of the staff left a lasting impression. A missed opportunity for a...
Read moreWe came with a group of 5 people to have an aperitif in the afternoon. The beach and also restaurant were almost empty because the weather was bad, so there were not many guests to be expected. My husband asked to sit under the roofed part of restaurant because it was starting to rain, the lady didn't let us, saying that we could only sit on the terrace without a roof, my husband asked "but what do we do if it rains?", the lady replied "I don't know, you have to stay outside", my husband asked again: “What if it rains?” The lady didn’t answer, at the end she said that the part under the roof is for those who come to have dinner. It was 4:30 p.m., we don't think it was the time to serve dinner, and they definitely could not expect many clients on that day because the beach was empty, the parking was empty, and the restaurant was almost empty because of the bad weather conditions. We also said that we are going to stay less than 1h so we will not interrupt the dinner service. The lady had no more arguments, so she said that these are instructions from management - Very bad experience. We will never come back. ZERO points. Impolite and...
Read moreWe went 2vv and also the second time I was disappointed with the food and service. First time, endless waiting to receive menus and order. I ordered a salmon and avocado salad. avocado is been replaced with fennel because not available in summer because it deteriorates (giustification of the waiter). this time we ordered a plate of grilled sardines and a tuna tataky. The sardines were a little pink internally and still contained the innards. the tuna tataky: they made an excess of spices to give flavor to a tuna that I eat best from the airport take away … and that’s all! Then, to top it off, they also included a portion of fries in the bill which I thought were included in the tuna tataky since the waitress asked me to choose between salad and fries as a side dish without specifying that it was not included. all appearance...
