I booked this hotel because I wanted to bene close to the beach, basically you can just cross the road! The price was exactly the same of Masseria Corda do Lana which is one of the most beautiful places I've been, just 5 min drive from Porto Cesareo. Anyway the hotel is really out of date, a bit of Renato Pozzetto movies feeling! Yeah that was the 80s. To access the rooms of Conchiglia Azzurra you have to walk through an corridor which is basically a long terrace overlooking a swamp, so basically paradise for mosquitoes!! The room smelled, there was no tooth paste, no slippers, and when we called the reception to send a pair up, they said they don't have them! What kind of 5 star is this?? The breakfast was very disappointing too. Very poor! If I had spent 50 euros a night probably it would have been alright. But considering I paid 140 euros in June and the same room is like 250 in August!! Don't go there! The beach tough was really nice!!! The staff is really nice in Conchiglia Azzurra Beach (I think this was the name). The music is very good and relaxing, the sand white and very clean, the lido is pretty quiet in June, ideal if you want to relax. The water is crystal clear and no seaweed or stones could bene seen at all!! Much better than Punta Prosciutto!!
