Strandhotels Lido di Metaponto

"The hotel was quite a disappointment. We were there as a couple and had booked all-inclusive. However, at check-in we had to pay over €150 extra for a club membership, which we didn't know what it was for. Included in the all inclusive package was the food, which was more or less the same every day and only water and wine from a tap to drink. We drank from plastic glasses. Every other drink, such as cola, had to be paid for separately with a card at 3.50 per can. I have never experienced anything like this in any hotel. The restaurant was very large, crowded and noisy. You couldn't eat in peace. Guests were constantly walking between the tables to get food from the various stands. There was no free choice of seats. You always had to sit at the same table. There was an extra area for baby carriages in front of the restaurant. the meal times in the evening were only from 7pm to 9pm. the rooms were relatively spacious with three rooms. The two televisions were very small and there were only Italian television programs. The mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable. But the curtain darkened the room well. and there was a very large balcony including a clo The bathroom was damaged in many places and things like hairdryers etc. were very inconveniently located. In addition, the hair dryer did not get hot, which meant that it took ages to dry the hair. The main pool looked nice but was very small and crowded for the number of guests."

"The hygienic conditions were horrible, the toilets near the bars and restaurants were very dirty, a bad smell came out of the toilet in the room. The restaurant with buffet was dirty in the area of fries, with food thrown on the counter. Food in general was not good, but the cakes and pastries were excellent."

"In die Jahre gekommen. Auswahl beim Frühstück sehr überschaubar. Ausnahmslos alles in dem Hotel quietscht. In den Pool darf man ausschließlich mit Badehaube. Für Liegen in 1. Reihe am Strand werden 20€ Aufschlag pro Tag verrechnet. Personal ist bemüht, aber zum Teil unerfahren. Es ist ein Rätsel, wie es das Hotel zu 5* geschafft hat."
