Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a large complex with spacious apartments and a lively atmosphere, making it feel family-friendly and vibrant. However, the dated furniture and constant loud music by the pool might not appeal to everyone, especially those looking for a quieter getaway. The saltwater pool is enjoyable, but the dining options are limited, with some facilities not operating daily.
I had a great time at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the cozy atmosphere. The staff, especially Sergio and Mauricio, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was a definite highlight, with delicious fresh options available, although I did notice some noise issues at night. The facilities were nice, particularly the pool area, but the shared balconies were a bit of a downside for privacy. Overall, a solid experience with a few hiccups.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, close to a charming village, and the pool area was stunning. However, I encountered issues with the internet connection, which was frustrating. The restaurant offered excellent food, but it was busy during my stay with events that disrupted the peaceful atmosphere.
My stay at Messapia Resort was all about enjoying the beautiful Salento region, and I loved the authentic Italian charm of the village. The pool was simply amazing, and the food, especially the pizzas, was a real highlight. However, I did find the entertainment a bit overwhelming at times, which might not be ideal if you’re looking for a quiet getaway. Plus, communication was a challenge with the local language, so keep that in mind.
The resort features a large pool and spacious rooms, which added to our enjoyment during the stay. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly the breakfast, which was quite poor. Additionally, the unfriendliness of the restaurant staff was a real downer. Still, the hotel's amenities, like the saltwater pool and clean environment, made it a decent place to relax, especially for families.
I had a memorable wedding experience at this venue, with stunning seaside views and a professional staff that made the event unforgettable. While the apartments are spacious, the furnishings are somewhat dated, and the pool could use some maintenance. Nevertheless, the food was exceptional, and the staff was kind and attentive, making it an overall enjoyable stay.
The hotel offers a lovely blend of comfort and rustic charm, situated beside a quaint village. The attentive staff made our stay enjoyable, and the food was exceptional, often drawing us to the hotel restaurant. However, while the pool area is nice, it can get quite crowded and noisy, making it less ideal for those seeking tranquility.
The hotel is quite the busy spot, perfect for families seeking a vibrant atmosphere. The pool area is large and features salt water, which I found refreshing. The dining experience was fantastic, especially with the delicious pizzas. However, the constant entertainment can be a bit overwhelming, especially in the evenings when it can get quite loud.
The resort features a large pool with a refreshing saltwater option, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the breakfast left much to be desired, and the internet connection was unreliable in the rooms. Overall, it offers decent value for money, especially for families looking for an active atmosphere.
