Protur Aparthotel Vista Badia

This is an excellent hotel with very good facilities aimed at families & couples. The hotel is modern & very comfortable with a minimalist style yet it has very good attention to detail in its facilities. The apartments are very comfortably furnished & although the kitchenettes are not well equipped it didn’t affect us as we were on the AI package. This hotel was spotlessly clean & the staff here are plentiful in number, very professional & helpful. The food was generally good with plenty of variety, breakfast & dinner were the better meal options. There is a main buffet restaurant & a speciality Sicilian restaurant. Guests can also use facilities on the neighbouring sister hotels in the Protur group. There is some limited evening entertainment for adults which focuses on the pool bar area & good facilities for keeping the children happy. I would definitely recommend this hotel which could be rated 4*plus

Just come back from two weeks at the Vista Badia and all in all it’s a nice hotel, well run with lovely rooms. However, with a few small changes could vastly improve. It’s a buffet All Inclusive (although you can chose a SC option), the food is good however you do get tired of a buffet after 2 weeks. There are other restaurants you can use however the majority of these are also buffet. What annoyed me is that you can only use the alternative restaurants once per stay, even if you’re there 2 weeks - in other hotels I’ve stayed of a similar class, you can use them once per week. So if you’re there 7 nights and use all 5 alternative restaurants that’s not too bad but there 14 nights like us, it’s a bit different! We upgraded our room to a select - do this! It was lovely, with a large balcony, sun beds and jacuzzi it was great. You also get to book in the other restaurants the day before you’d like to go. This avoids you queuing every morning at 10am - or earlier as people want to be first in line. Having said that, it appears that they only allow one reservation per restaurant to be taken the day before, I assume to ensure all the spaces aren’t taken before the ‘non select’ apartments have had chance to book. This is a bit annoying as you again need to book first thing to get in there first. The pool is beautiful and very clean, plenty of sun beds and a nice pool bar. Selection of drinks OK, not top shelf spirits but you expect that. One massive bugbear, the pool closes at 6pm yet they will not serve you from a glass until 6:30pm don’t know what that’s all about. Location wise it’s ok, beach is beautiful and just up the road with plenty of other restaurants to go to (which we did to get a break from the buffet meal). All in all a nice hotel, but not one I’m raving about.
