Defensola Vacation Packages

There is some sidereal distance between the way the hotel is advertised and the reality. Amenities almost non existing, very cheap tv and shower box, roadside motel toiletries, AC barely working, slowest elevator and don’t even try to get there with your own car. You are forced to parked 25 mins away (at extra cost) and then someone comes and pick you up. The are is nice but the hotel is simply and unequivocally overrated.

I arrived late at night for a one night stay, shuttle service was excellent, as was check in. Breakfast had a good choice of food and the tables were cleared very fast as people left.

Spotless room , great breakfast , beautiful pool

Our stay at the BRA Hotel Bari was simply outstanding and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were second to none, and they always went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The room was beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and offered every comfort you could ask for. The luxurious finishes, comfortable bed, and thoughtful amenities made it a pleasure to return to after exploring the beautiful city of Bari. The dining experience was equally exceptional. Breakfast offered an impressive selection of fresh, high-quality products, and every meal we enjoyed was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The rooftop restaurant was a true highlight, combining outstanding cuisine with a wonderful atmosphere. The hotel's central location made it easy to walk to Bari's best shops, restaurants, and historic attractions, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. BRA Hotel is a true five-star experience in every sense. If you're looking for luxury, impeccable service, outstanding food, and an unforgettable stay in Bari, look no further. We can't wait to return!

Staff was really lovely and welcoming to us and let us check in 30 minutes early as the room was ready. Breakfast was good in the morning lots of options. House keeping was very friendly. However our room had a weird hand print on the wall that was kind of red/dark. The beds are very uncomfortable and springy. You can hear every single person in the hallway which makes it hard to sleep. There was also a weird clicking sound in the room that would go off. Besides that it’s an excellent location it’s close to Bari/monopoli/arberobello etc.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay. The photos and the high price tag make it look like a luxury hotel, but that is far from reality. To start, the hotel doesn't even have a pool, and the bar area has nowhere to sit. The air conditioning in the room takes forever to turn on, making it incredibly uncomfortable every time we walked in. The shower stall is tiny and completely floods the bathroom floor. However, the biggest disappointment was the beach club. The beach is shared with a public club that rents out chairs, so it was completely packed. There was no way to relax, as we were stuck between crying kids throwing slippers at each other. The beach service was painfully slow; we had to constantly wave our hands hoping a waiter would eventually look at us. When the food finally arrived, it was immediately covered in ants, and we had to throw it away. We were so frustrated that we left the hotel less than 2 hours after checking in and only came back to sleep. To top it all off, they couldn't even manage to get us a dinner reservation at the restaurant before 9:30 PM. Save your money—this place is definitely not worth it.
