Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites

My wife and I had a week’s stay at the hotel. We booked a deluxe room but on arrival were upgraded to a suite which had a fantastic corner balcony with views over the sea and towards the port. This meant we could sit either in the sun or shade during the day as required. Plus it also had a retractable awning as well which was an added bonus. The hotel is right on the beach plus has a nice pool with plenty of pool side sun loungers. The room although not particularly large was very comfortable with a nice bathroom and shower. We did not eat in the restaurants other than breakfast which ended at 10.30 am each day which had a good choice of hot and cold foods. All the hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful and made our stay a very pleasant one. The location is good with the beach one side with lovely beautiful clear waters and white sand and it is also about 10-15 minutes walk into town where there are a few bars and lots of cafe/restaurants. The only negatives were our TV hardly worked (not that we were too bothered about that) and the WiFi tended to drop in and out. Plus from the 7th June onwards you have to pay for the hotel’s beach sunbeds up to €60 per day! I regularly stay in hotels all around the world and have never had to pay my own hotel for this before? Overall though a very enjoyable stay and if returning to Porto Aranci I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

We were upgraded to a room with an ocean view and it was spectacular, spacious with a comfortable bed. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast is five star with many wonderful choices.

Initially we had booked just a classic room however it was old and rundown, so we upgraded to a suite with a private pool and that was next level with amazing finishes.

Beautiful hotel on the water. We had a room with a nice view of the bay from our small balcony. The room was small but we made it work. The staff was attentive. Breakfast was so perfect with so many beautiful options. It get crowded but they do a great job. The bar always had some one that could make you a beverage any time you walked by. We ate dinner there only once it was good. But the variety on the menu did not suit our tastes so we dinned out the other nights. Location is nice and quiet. Staff was wonderful and the hotel grounds were pretty. super clean and well kept.

The view is spectacular. The pool area is beautiful but the pool is not heated. The breakfast is very good. We had a deluxe room with a large terrace and glass railings to admire the beautiful view. Loved the walk to lungomare which had some lovely restaurants and shops.I do feel, however, that the lobby could be improved upon.

Hotel is overpriced!! Small rooms, small pool, pictures are manipulated to be nice! Beach is public with the partiion for hotel use. Beach is for childern 40 cm deep. Normal high of watter is 200 m away!! And payment of 40 € asking for beach chair for what? Staff is not speaking english at all! No safe in the room!!! Handling of towels in small pool terible by lasy guy! Avoid this 4 stars hotel, it is hardly 3 stars, and price for 5 stars!!!
