“In my opinion, this resort presents a mixed experience, balancing scenic views with service inconsistencies; while the setting near Capo Vaticano Lighthouse promises a delightful stay, potential disruptions from events could impact facility access. I noted that dining arrangements and occasional noise issues detract from its 4-star claim, yet the staff's friendliness is a plus. Overall, some adjustments are needed.”
