Hotel Baya Strand

Staff: Very friendly staff - Luca particularly very helpful. Cleaning service every day with trustworthy staff - left very clean and tidy and well stocked in bathrooms. Our valuables were left without anything being taken; no need to use the safe. Bedroom: - Uncomfortable beds firm where you can feel the springs - Adequate shower and bathroom - Not sound proof at all - hear every noise. Hard to sleep . - No black out. Awkward shutters to use which aren’t black out despite them being down. Very hard to put up and down. - Laundry including bedsheets and towels are dried on the roof where this is a popular spot for bird poo. On two occasions we have had bird faeces on the bedsheets. It ruined my expensive satin bed shorts. Food in the Hotel: Breakfast had what we needed but no pancakes or many veggie options. Was mediocre. Lots of pastries and cakes if you like that. Lots of Cereal. No veggie option for fry ups, just eggs. No Mayo or ketchup without requesting. Calm atmosphere at breakfast. The breakfast staff were lovely and helpful, they let us come to breakfast 10 minutes early when we left as our flight was departing early in the morning. Public areas in the hotel: - Lovely pool and calm atmosphere. Immaculate area. Nice cold coronas! Ping pong and tennis on offer. 2 large tennis courts where rackets are free but tennis balls are charged. We didn’t use these as it was too hot! - All public toilets in the hotel were spotlessly clean. Location: - The hotel is right next to the beach - Good location by everything - beach parties, beach bars, restaurants, BUT, 90% of restaurants are predominantly sea food. It is loud in the evenings. - Great area for cyclists, lots of people seem to cycle or walk. Restaurants nearby: Very hard to find good pizzas and pastas despite being in Italy. If you like seafoods and parties on the weekends, great. Also good for beef in this area I’d you’re willing to splash the cash. Beers on tap are relatively hard to find. Common beers are Heineken and Italian bottled beers
