Gran Hotel Stella Maris Urban Resort & Conventions
Facility is big but nicely laid out, clean room and great staff. Swimming pool water temperature got very high, they really should invest in water cooling system because the beach is not that great with rocky bottom.

Villaggio Orizzonte
Visited in March 2025. The earlier reviews and pictured looked good so booked this forma short stay. The location is quite good, a short walk from the beach (although the area feels rather sketchy especially when walking for dinner). It seemed like there was a lot of construction work going on everywhere ...
