The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Indulging Spa Retreat

I visited the spa during my stay and was pleasantly surprised by the independently managed treatments. The ambiance was soothing, and my massage was incredibly relaxing-definitely a highlight of my trip! It was all too rejuvenating after a long day of exploring.

Efficient Shuttle Service

I loved the hotel's complimentary shuttle service to the beach. It made my beach days so much easier! The shuttle was timely and comfortable, ensuring I didn't miss out on a great beach experience during my stay.

Mediterranean Delights

I was impressed with the vegetarian-friendly options in the main restaurant. Each meal was prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients that reflected Mediterranean culinary traditions. The variety was good and added to my overall enjoyment of the stay.

Private Pool Bliss

Our room's private pool was simply divine! It was clean and the perfect temperature, allowing for late-night swims under the stars. This feature made our stay feel truly exclusive and added a luxurious touch to our holiday.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the beautiful scenery and cleanliness stood out, the dining options were quite limited, and the service felt rushed at times. Unfortunately, the atmosphere lacked any real evening entertainment, which was disappointing for a vacation. Overall, it's a pleasant stay but with some opportunities for improvement.

I had a mix of experiences at the Rimondi. The location is quite stunning, but the hotel isn't exactly in the best shape. While the staff were generally welcoming, the service could be improved. The dining options were repetitive, and the facilities felt underwhelming for a resort spa. I left feeling disappointed, especially given the room's dampness.
