Golfo dei Poeti Relais & Spa

We arrived to the beautiful Golfo Dei Poeti after a fun but hectic week in Rome and Florence with our two sons, 16 and 18. We all were happy to be in a relaxed environment in beautiful surroundings. I have a mixed feelings on the resort. On the positive, the setting is really lovely. We enjoyed hiking down to the black sand beach and exploring the rest of the area by car. The breakfast was amazing - many, many tasty items offered. However, the service at the hotel was not really up to the level of the room price. The spa was very limited - just really a steam and sauna room - this is not a "spa" resort. The rooms were nice, but because the pool and dining area have such lovely views, I don't think it is worth spending the extra $$ on the "ocean view" It is more of a couples resort, or for very young children - ie babies. Its a very calm and relaxing place, not ideal for teens. We were ok because we left after breakfast and came back late at night. Overall, I would say it was a good stay, but not great.
