This was a restful beach retreat. The hotel complex has its own beach with parasols and sun beds (free to hotel residents). The service was good, staff efficient and friendly. We went full board and the food was excellent. Our room was average size with a safe, fridge and balcony. It was cleaned immaculately and unobtrusively everyday. Unfortunately we were close to the stage where outside evening entertainment for children was quite noisy but finished st 11pm. We went in August so the complex was full of families and children were well catered for by the animateurs who are multi-talented and very patient. The bay has clean shallow water for 50metres. Pedaloes and canoes are free for 30 mins. On the same beach you can also have wind surfing, paddle boarding and surfing lessons which are chargeable. For us this was purely and simply a beach holiday and it fulfilled our hopes. We will definitely return. We went with Sardatur Holidays.

“Good for R&R but Italian family resort”

Ginepro is an Italian holiday resort. It is clean, staff are friendly and the food is plentiful, fresh and tasty. It is not Michelin star and all self-service buffet style; but the choice is very good. I would advise to take your own beach towels. They do hire them for 6 Euro but are the size of a … lisää

Ginepro is an Italian holiday resort. It is clean, staff are friendly and the food is plentiful, fresh and tasty. It is not Michelin star and all self-service buffet style; but the choice is very good. I would advise to take your own beach towels. They do hire them for 6 Euro but are the size of a small bath towel. I would also take any documentation with you with what is included in your stay. It took us 2 days to get agreement with sun beds and umbrella included on the beach. (As it was the weekend and the tour operator was not manned). If you want to get out and about I would hire a car. There was a limited bus service to the local town of Orsei 12 kilometres away and it cost 10 Euro return, but if you just wanted an R&R holiday this is perfect. The only negative is that we had to wait 35 minutes to be shown to our room on arrival. Also on check out the transit room with the shower was not up really up to standard. One shower so only could use a family at a time and the shower was broken.

“Retirement home - not a hotel. Many hidden costs and service restrictions ”

We were so excited when we booked this hotel. From the photos everything looked amazing and had exactly what we were after for this holiday: secluded place, nice and spacious rooms, great facilities, fantastic beach, food...in other words - a perfect get away place.

We were so excited when we booked this hotel. From the photos everything looked amazing and had exactly what we were after for this holiday: secluded place, nice and spacious rooms, great facilities, fantastic beach, food...in other words - a perfect get away place. But.. the reality was quite different... Our room was tiny, not even close to the photos on their website, I would say it was just about half the advertised size. No WIFI in the rooms either, it worked only in the reception area. To my husband's horror the gym was 25eur per day as it was part of the spa. Seriously? A total ripoff. The presence of the gym was the reason that we chose this hotel in the first place. There is no information about these additional costs on hotels website which made my husband extremely furious. Beach towels were available for 6€ each day, plus additional cost to have it washed. The restaurant was a buffet style and had large variety of good food (gave 3 stars to this review because of it), but to get to it we had to fight with a huge crowd of hungry and angry pensioners...and there were A lot of pensioners, we felt like in some kind of retirement home or a hospital, very strange (we are in our late 30s so no teens looking for a party place so we felt very weird there)...Dinner was available from 8.45pm till 9.00pm. 1,5h to eat in Italy, seriously?No food was available after 9.15pm so one night we were left without dinner after getting back at 9.15pm. I was furious as it cost us 65eur for the offsite dinner and we were not offered any refund. Another strange thing were hotels animators, young kids in their late teens trying to sit and get drunk with hotels guests at all times. I mean, sure, I am ok to offer you one drink while you try to entertain me by talking over and over again about yourself (big baggage of barely 20 years of life :) ), but i was not ok to buy you drinks every night..plus, drinking on the job is not OK in my opinion. Is it even legal? Bar did not accept cash or any bank cards. To get drinks you have to go to the reception and get a pre-paid card, and you better don't lose it, because its equal to losing your wallet. Our biggest disappointment was the beach as it was full of sea weed. I know, it is not hotels fault, but to add to all other disappointments it was a bit to much. Thank God we had a car and could go to other fantastic sea weed free beaches. For us Cala Ginepro is a no go back place.
