Taverna dei pirati In Portoferraio

09/08/2024: A few days before the trip, rereading some reviews, we left discouraged because they were negative BUT... Due premise we booked with booking through hotiday (which is not very clear if you don't read and re-read the details). We arrive at the property and are welcomed with the appropriate explanations, the room is not in the main structure but always inside the property, separate parking €10 per day (recommended because outside places are few and always occupied due to the nearby beach access). The "HOTIDAY" rooms are on the 3rd FLOOR of this structure without a lift, which for us means a few steps to climb but not adequate for a 4-star hotel since it is a fundamental requirement, like the wi-fi absent in the rooms but in the end for us It went well so we were on holiday and two flights of stairs didn't put us off. The well-kept and clean room of about 20m2 with a very comfortable terrace (in the end it fits). The temperature in the room was not very suitable (nightmare of the review read, the air conditioning does not work) but the director of the structure immediately took action to solve the problem since problems can happen but the important thing is that they are addressed and resolved as in this case within a few hours the director personally went to the rooms several times to make sure that everything was in order. The room was very clean and tidy, even when the manager had zero personal needs and we were able to agree with the cleaning ladies when to clean the room at a time different from the pre-established one. We always read in the reviews that the breakfast was not worthy of being served and I must also dispel this aspect, it is served with 3 buffet tables full of sweet and savory dishes, the dinner buffet is also notable and varies from evening to evening. That being said, a very respectable four-star hotel which is completed with the "club card" package at a cost of €8 per person for each day of stay, which gives access to the swimming pool, umbrella on the beach at the partner lido and kids' club (the only note on the beach: when booking with hotiday the beach is not the one shown in the photo).

08/08/2024: Spectacular hotel, clean rooms, abundant breakfast and very friendly waiter, I highly recommend it, every evening there is entertainment with music and shows
