What a wonderful stay! It has been 20 years since me and my family's last holiday in Lanterna and we were happy to find out the place is still as beautiful, quiet and safe as we remember. Holidays were fantastic and we made the most of it when relaxing and recharging, what was our trip's main purpose. However, we were utterly disappointed to discover that condition of the apartments was very poor and far from the pictures advertised. Sadly, instead of receiving proper maintenance / upgrade over the years, the apartments were left to its own demise. Paint peeling of the wall and windows, windows and doors not shutting properly, dated bathroom and furniture.. So much money collected from visitors over the years, yet zero investment to the property maintenance - heartbreaking. Cleanliness could also be improved, finding a layer of dust on the bed frames or on the kitchen counter was not pleasant. We got over this surprise and enjoyed our stay regardless but I feel it's important to list the urgent need of renovation, so the overall experience is improved, as it is indeed long overdue.

Comfy beds, Unprofessional staff, Good beaches

The stay was pretty good. The room was clean (a bit outdated though) and spacious. It can get loud to about 24:00 every evening but after that it was usually nice and quiet. I recommend the restaurant "Delfin" which is located in the area. But the other restaurant there was a total disaster... The beaches where very nice and clean but the staff was very unprofessional except one guy at the reception which really tried hard. We where lucky that it wasn't too warm or else it would be bad to sleep since there is no aircondition. There is also no WIFI (only in reception and by the bad restaurant at the beach) We knew that there is no WIFI but when you arrive there you really wished you did had it.

Short stay

We spent three days at the location and we had a plesent time, the apartment we recieved was a minute walk from the beach and had a kids park right outside. Transportation to the closet town and recreation areas can be arrange at the front desk and there are several activities to keep everyone entertained around the resort. Restaurants and gift shops are located on the resort to include a small grocery shop if you plan on preparing a meal or two. Overall, we had a pleasant time and would stay at this location again.

Reasonable place at a top spot

Our unit was recently refurbished, coast was wonderful. Lots of people everywhere, and that is what the place exists for. So if you do not mind people it is worth the stay.

Place for everyone!

We spent a week here and had a great time! I was pleasantly surprised with the whole resort. No matter if you wanted to just relax and sunbathe, do some sports, go out with your family, have fun with your dogs (dog-friendly resort!) or have a tasty meal- there was something for everyone. You can also buy everything you need- there´s a supermarket, 2 bakeries, exchange office, souvenir shop, even a doctor on site. The equipment of the little kitchinette in our appartment was great too! I definitely recommend!

Not what I expected

Of course hotel rooms are never going to be what they picture on their website, but they boast that this place was recently renovated and paint was chipping on the walls, the windows didn't work properly and the sofabed was broken. There are different buildings on the campus that seemed very nicely maintained, but that's not where we were placed. This "resort hotel" also caters to a lot of tour groups so when we had to wait in line over 1 hr to check in for less than mediocre rooms was not worth it.

Es war die schlimmste Erfahrung in unserem ganzen Leben. Wir hatten diese Unterkunft wegen der Nähe zum Lanterna 5 Sterne Camping Resort gebucht, aber damit hat es absolut nichts zutun. Wir waren in einer abgeranzten, verdreckten, alten, muffigen, verschimmelten und voller Tierchen und Käfer besetzten Absteige! Es waren die schlimmsten 7 Tage dort zu übernachten. Finger weg! Es ist eine Katastrophe. Wir werden nun alle rechtlichen Schritte gegen Expedia einleiten und vorgehen. Nichts ist wie beschrieben, alle Fotos nicht der Wahrheit entsprechend. Nachdem ich Fotos von Schimmel, Tieren aus dem Bett krabbeln und weiteres an Expedia geschickt habe, meinte die Dame sie könne nichts machen, es sei halt einfach nur dreckig!!!! Wir sind immernoch schockiert und werden alles dafür tun um andere zu warnen nicht mehr bei Expedia zu buchen und schon garnicht diese Unterkunft!!!
