Beautiful, well-maintained grounds, a super pool (which was never over-crowded) and a contemporary, fresh hotel, which was always spotlessly clean. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. We paid a little extra to get a balcony and a sea view. Continental breakfast was included and more than sufficient. We often came down late to breakfast and were pleasantly surprised to find they had waited for us before clearing the service away. We dined at the restaurant several times. The food was really good, if a little pricey. They are able to arrange massage/spa treatments for you on request. Our only criticism was the poor sound-proofing. We weren't overly bothered as the hotel wasn't too full and only one wedding took place when we were there (that evening we elected to go out). If you are sensitive to sound we would suggest you request to stay at the back of the hotel on the second floor. The hotel is best situated for those who have a car. If you rely on taxis (as we did) you will pay around €25 one way to Gaeta and €35 to Sperlonga (which is definitely worth a visit). That said, the hotel does offer a free shuttle service a few times a day to and from Formia beach. The excellent service at the hotel is commendable. They were extremely helpful and we were always greeted with a smile. This is a solid 4 star hotel and we would definitely recommend it or stay there again if in the area.
