Bar Esplanade In Merano

12/10/2025: First of all, I would like to highlight the very friendly and attentive staff; their limited language skills were never a problem. The room was very clean and well-equipped (bathroom with underfloor heating). The breakfast was plentiful and left nothing to be desired. Dinner included an exceptional and extensive salad buffet, with a large vegetable buffet and meat side dishes (fried chicken, vitello tonnato, carpaccio). Unfortunately, I have to deduct one point for the poor Wi-Fi reception in my room (this was not the case in the second room we booked) and for the three-course dinner menu. We also booked the hotel because of the effusive description of the food on the website, which sets the bar very high for itself. (Evening 6-course gourmet menu including salad buffet. Chef Roman and his team in the kitchen ensure that there is a daily selection of creative and sophisticated dishes to delight even the most discerning palates.) The menu, which was actually only 4 courses including a salad buffet, unfortunately did not quite live up to this promise in terms of composition, seasoning, choice of side dishes and presentation.

03/10/2025: Wonderful experience. Very nice hotel, modern, clean, and well-kept. Excellent food, beautiful pool, super friendly staff. Alex was our go-to guy. The waiters were magnificent, all smiling, attentive, and available for every need, even for the kids. The only flaw was the lack of a bidet in the room!
