Excellent hotel with lovely pools and facilities. The gym is poor and shouldn’t have a surcharge, but everything else is great. Great staff, and the pool bar is very convenient. It’s a 20 minute walk to anything (each way) and the only way to and from the train station is by taxi which isjt cheap so bear that in mind

This is a lovely, slightly out of the way, four star hotel. Facilities are very good. Menu limited if staying for more than a few days but it’s very good food. Walking and public transport are a bit awkward but if you have a car there is no issue with that. The spa facilities are very nice. Best part of my stay!

Beautiful gardens and professional staff
Wonderful surroundings - the grounds are beautiful with well cured gardens. Staff are very professional and pleasant. Rooms are ok and airy. The main pool opened at 10am which was a bit late for us as we like to take an early dip. The only negative was the room sound proofing, where we could hear very well the people in the next room.

Room walls are paper thin, lovely grounds but very tired building & rooms. Shower head was in need of clean as water went everywhere that’s assuming it didn’t fall out of its holder! Dinner was nice and staff all very friendly. We were only here for 1 night stop so it served its purpose.

Beautiful setting and gardens. Staff unfailingly friendly and helpful.A few. minor problems, most fixed promptly.Over-designed,irritating taps in basin which could not deliver a bowl of hot water.Shower panels fixed too high so it leaked.Endless repetitive 'dinner jazz' muzak. Food great but menu same daily unless you have 'half board' and no one, including hotels .com explained that the was an option

Terrible value
Hust calling out a pretty poor hotel. We booked for 4 nights but only stayed for one, kissing goodbye to about £600 but so poor was the experience we just decided to go elsewhere. The hotel is very dated allover. There has been some effort to update some areas but overall the whole hotel feels very cheap for the price. The room itself feels dated. The blinds and curtains let in lots of light. The air-conditioning doesn't work. Reading some other comments and out experience it's clear it doesn't work. It didn't work in our room, it didn't work in the gym or the spa. Set it to 19 degrees and it is obviously on but no cool air comes out. Clearly Best Western are scrimping again! It was about 25+ outside so this lead to an uncomfortable nights sleep and the main reason we left early. The bed was good though! The main gym bench/weight equipment is broken. The outdoor pool isn't open until June either. I really would avoid this hotel.

Nice hotel just a short distance from Pescara
Nice hotel just on the outskirts of town (about 10 minutes south of Pescara). The hotel was clean and in good condition. We had a beautiful view of the Adriatic off our balcony. We tried to call the reception area a few times during our stay but they never picked up. Instead we went down to the front desk to ask our questions. A couple days after we left the hotel, my partner realized that items were left in the room. The hotel staff was able to locate the items and agreed to mail them to us when we return home.

Great couples retreat.
Great place. A few extremely minor faults: You cant bring kids to the spa pool area. Fine, but it was not proclaimed anywhere on their website where you can see a picture of a mother with a infant in the spa-pool. The coffee in the tea-kitchen was never refilled when we had used the two nescafe units on the first day. Rest was near perfect!

Great Potential
Beautiful hotel and setting. Room was nice with a great view of the Adriatic. Gardens were beautiful as well. Free parking. We were there before the "season" and pool was not ready to use. Shuttle to beach wasn't running either. For a real nice place the towels and bath amenities were poor. Our room was located near the middle of the hotel near the elevators, and it was pretty noisy.
