We had a fantastic time at Robinson Apulia. We travelled from the UK with Tui to Brindisi airport. Everything ran smoothly from booking to being transferred to the hotel. We arrived late at night and ate on the plane as we didn't expect to be offered anything at the hotel so late. How wrong we were. After we had checked in, a lovely staff member directed us to the main restaurant where we were presented with a lovely selection of meats, cheeses, breads, and bottles of water. While we were eating, our cases were delivered to our rooms. This excellent service set the scene for our entire holiday. ROOMS We were in Siena block which is a nice stroll to the main complex. The blocks are spread over the complex, each set amongst beautifully maintained gardens. We'd booked a family room as we have two teenage boys and as much as we love them, we didn't relish the thought of sharing a double room with them. This was a great solution as it meant we had separate bedrooms and more space thanks to the living room area. If you can stretch to a family room I'd really recommend it. The rooms are quite basic but very comfortable. We had sun loungers and deckchairs on the large balcony and there is also a clothesline outside for drying swimming clothes. The housekeeping service was very good and prompt. We had the rooms cleaned and towels changed every other day. Robinson's is a very environmentally-friendly hotel and does all it can to encourage you to protect the environment. Other points to note about the room: plenty of charging points with USB ports, good AC, a fridge, a TV in the main bedroom and living room, and good blackout curtains. RESTAURANTS Robinson Apulia offers three restaurants: the main restaurant, the trattoria, and the pizzeria. The main restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes. From pasta and tacos to roast beef and healthy options, there is something for everybody. There is also a vegan section. Health and wellness are a big thing at the hotel, so if you are watching what you eat or trying to have a healthy day here and there, you'll have no problem finding some good food that's also good for you. We on the other hand were not in that category and enjoyed all the buffet had to offer and then some! The parmesan cheese wheel is the stuff of legends! After your meal, don't forget to grab a bottle or two of water for your room from the fridges. You'll also find these fridges scattered around the hotel in various locations, including the main bar and trattoria. It does get busy during high season, but just wander around and you'll come across a table. We were a party of 7 in total and never had any real problems. There is also an 'overspill' section that they open up on particularly busy nights. The pizzeria is fine. We ate here for a couple of nights. The pizzas are good and there is also a small salad bar. I agree with a previous reviewer in that it could be in a nicer location. It would be great out by the piano bar for example wh
