We stayed at Le Dune in October 2024 as a repeat visit - we went for the first time a year earlier in October 2023. We have a 2 1/2 year old, and we went back because we knew it would be as easy as it could be to relax whilst looking after our toddler. This proved to be the case - we only left the resort once in the 9 days we were there.
The highlights for us:
1. Every single member of the staff at Forte Village are just lovely and super welcoming. The reception staff at Le Dune - Debora, Rosenda and team especially - but it goes through to everyone - the cleaning staff, to the gardeners zipping around in their vehicles saying hi. It is a bit like being in the Truman Show in a really lovely way. I imagine that the resort is absolutely packed in summer so maybe by the time we hit October everyone has relaxed a bit. But it just makes your week.
2. The way everyone treats kids - everyone seems to love kids and treats them like royalty. From the Le Dune team saying 'Ciao' to our toddler every time we passed reception, to the waitress who took him on a guided tour of the kitchen to get his ice cream, to the pianist at dinner entertaining them, to the fact they have a kids'restaurant with everything at the right height... It's just really lovely.
3. There's loads to do for kids - there's the beach, the pools, the play area, the children's wonderland, the train, the footy pitches... even just cycling around the site. You can just spend the week here and not worry about making plans. We would get up, go to the gorgeous beachfront breakfast restaurant with our beach gear, spend the next 2 or 3 hours on the beach, then work out what to do next. Just easy days. The beach is gorgeous and completely uncrowded in October with a lovely bit just up the beach away from the loungers.
4. The weather. It's perfect for us in October with sunny days, temps of around 25, obviously a bit cooler in the evening but still eating outside comfortably in jeans and maybe a jumper if needed. Perfect for being outside all day but not worrying too much about getting too hot or our (fair-skinned) toddler getting sunburnt.
5. The Le Dune rooms - we have stayed in 3 now and they are all really lovely and right next to the beach - you can hear the waves as you walk back from dinner.
6. The gym and the Acquaforte spa - very swish and perfect for the 'grown-up time' we each had to ourselves whilst the other stayed with our toddler.
I could go on. There's very little to complain about - you could say that some things need updating such as the kids water play area - but for us it just adds to the charm of the place.
It's been the same for us 2 years running. We would love to go back again and I'm sure we will.

Dear Mr Owen, We thank you for sharing your positive experience at Forte Village. It’s heart-warming to read that you and your family have chosen to come back to our Resort for the second time, and that you had relaxing and eventful stay: starting from a beachfront breakfast, spending time at the beach, or just entertaining yourselves around the Village with our wide range of services. We are happy that you were extremely satisfied with our activities, including those for children (Children’s Wonderland, play area) and those for adults, which enabled you to have some relaxing time with your wife at the gym and SPA. We must also thank you for your comments on the work of our staff, especially about Debora, Rosenda, and the rest of the team from le Dune, who will be thrilled to learn about your positive feedback. We hope we will have the pleasure to welcome you next year for the third time! Kind regards, Forte Village Team

At the Dunes of Forte Village a perfect week, in a large, elegant Bungalow, surrounded by greenery, all cared for in every detail. Excellent restaurant delle Dune, breakfast and dinner, with friendly and attentive service. The professional sympathy of Rosenda and team make the reception a real added value to the uniqueness of Forte Village that, with each passing year, is more and more in our hearts.... see you next summer!

Fort Village is honestly a place you just have to come and see for yourself to really understand it. It’s not a cheap all-inclusive resort, but keep that in mind — what you get is way beyond what you’d expect. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed in such a warm way that we immediatly felt like home. Every team member was super attentive to us, from the reception to the restaurant, and even the bike concierge (thanks so much Andrea !) to the housekeeping. I have to say the accommodation itself wasn’t the most luxury and could probably use a bit of updating, but honestly, the kindness and professionalism of the staff made our whole stay feel special. They really do have services for everyone — from young kids to older guests. Thanks to all for a wonderful stay, we’ll definitely be back next year!

The Forte village as a whole (including the hotel delle Dune) is just a suggestion created with mastery and that pushes the unwitting patrons to invest considerable sums of hard work for services and luxury 5 stars, 5 stars present in reality only in the firmament!. Let's see in detail: 1. It is a structure built, designed and entirely organized for people with offspring in tow. People without children who think that their "diversity" of needs is welcomed, included and resolved break into a wall of indifference; 2. the rooms do not have any 5 star luxury comforts (not even the coffee machine that are now present in the 4-star standards); 3. staff at the Dune reception hotel who provide you with incomplete and deviant information about the restaurants in the village where there is half Pension coverage due to which you find yourself paying 220 euros of dinner that you have not even consumed because they have also failed to represent you that the menu is fixed (either eat that or go to bed without dinner). Despite the grievances neither apologize nor compensate you despite the mistake is theirs; 4. The reception of the hotel Le Dune decided to offer the bikes at their expense for the whole stay: after two days we are still waiting for them!; 5. Dessert buffet in one of the restaurants in the village where the level of presentation is not found even in the most modest tavern and with no information on the name of the desserts on display and their ingredients. The list goes on and on to highlight the structural deficiencies of the strong village that lives on a hollow fire and devoid of the [de]merits it boasts. So dear Singles I strongly Recommendation you to land at other ports and allocate your resources elsewhere!. It is understood that if there should be an industrious repentance of a direction that at present is not there will be my care to update my review.

Luxury Resort that knows how to make your holiday unforgettable. Staff very kind and Attentive to every need that can give smiles, cuddles and attention at any time of the day. We were guests of the Dunes and apart from having taken advantage of all the services of the structure that are of the highest level, we enjoyed all the attention they gave us. Every time we returned to our garden room, we had an aperitif, a tea, glasses with champagne, a wonderful cake to celebrate our anniversary. Everything fabulous, great taste! Highly recommended!

Lucky to have benefited from an upgrade, I stayed in a room at the 5 star dunes. I found dedicated staff who helped me at every stage of the holiday, without ever making me feel abandoned or little followed. So many little attentions every day that made the holiday unforgettable

The place is dreamy, it really is an ideal place to rest as a family, especially with small children due to the incredible kindergarten that the resort has. It is the closest thing to a paradise. There are activities for all ages, from karting track, pools of all kinds, beach and even nightly musical shows.
The food here is from another dimension. My whole family is vegan and the staff made a great effort to give us the best food with an a la carte menu. Everything was splendid.

Weekend with Aunt, first time at Forte Village. We booked a room at the Pineta hotel and instead we were welcomed by the team of the Le Dune hotel, sea view with a beautiful welcome. The reception girls booked all the restaurants according to our preferences. Reservation of the Cavalieri restaurants, the Sardinian and finally the gourmet restaurant Le Dune (with an extra charge per person). Evening entertainment in the square and leisure area with go karts and bowling alley. Bike tours with Andrea! Great experience! With Team le Dune who made it all the more special with advice and constant support. We plan to return maybe July and August, when the Resort is in full activity!

I had the best experience of my life!!!!! We went for Easter and stayed in an adorable little villa with plenty of space and its own pool!!! We rented bicycles to bike around the resort! I love the tropical theme and the gorgeous plants. But I must say one of my favorite parts about Forte village is the food, The buffets are filled with endless variety of food and amazing quality. You can sit and look out to the ocean. There is a variety of different pools, different food options and it was just an absolutely wonderful experience! We stayed for Easter, and on Easter they gave us a free fruit cake, that was delicious. On Easter they had a band for dinner and they had endless amounts of desserts, chocolate eggs of all size and cups with the most delicious desserts inside, they have a wonder pizza restaurant we went to on the first day, and also room service to the villas. They have a wonderful spa with pools of different salinity and bath in them all! They have a wonder gym and slides into many pools. They have tennis courts, a soccer field, a basketball court and many ping pong tables (table tennis). They also have a gorgeous private beach that seems endless. They have a shopping area filled with different businesses and just a huge campus to walk or bike around. We once did go-cart racing with an awesome track, they also have bowling and a number of other activities we didn’t get the chance to do. If you stayed In the 5 star villas you got a quiet peaceful breakfast option over looking the ocean. The only I think needs improving is there website because it could show how awesome it is but it doesn’t and I think more people would if the website was better, also maybe one well heated pool because in spring I wasn’t able to spend as much time as I wanted in the pools.
