ESSENCE - Charming Suites

Riva

We were given a room overlooking some empty cardboard boxes/rubbish and when I asked if we could move we were offered a room overlooking the building site at the front of the hotel so we stayed in the first room we were offered. From then on the two oldish women who worked on reception looked at me as though they hated me, one even rolling her eyes when I went down to tell them the extracter in the bathroom wasn’t working ( which was never fixed).. We also mentioned that the fridge in the room was dirty and old, the maintenance guys response was to say ‘it’s working’. I can only assume he looked properly after that because the next thing we knew it was swapped out for a new fridge! 
The bar staff and the two men who worked on reception were really nice, they were always pleasant and friendly. Unfortunately the bar was understaffed so at times they were run ragged, there was only ever one member of staff working on the bar. 
Also, the hot water seems to go off at midnight and comes back on at 6am which isn’t ideal if you get up for a run or anything or if you have an early flight which we did, cold showers only before 6.
The cleaners were brilliant, the whole hotel was spotless and the rooms were cleaned perfectly. Pool area and grounds are a great space for kids , just be aware there are lots of bees in the flowers in the grass.  I don’t think I’d revisit this hotel, I’d go back to the hotel we usually go to, the Savoy Palace

Would not go back here

The hotel was great for our family. It was very clean, located close to the town and was set up well for families. The breakfast had a great variety of options available and catered for allergies, such as gluten free and non-dairy options of milk. No matter what time we went to breakfast, there were always tables available and the waiting-on staff worked very hard to tidy the tables. The hotel has plenty of parking and we were able to use the bikes for a bike ride. There were a variety of sizes, including balance bikes for toddlers or bike seats that could be attached to the back of an adult bike too. The entire hotel and rooms were very clean and the air conditioning worked well. There was a small fridge in our room and also a balcony. There were plenty of sun-loungers around the pool, jacuzzi, a large sandpit, a large trampoline, kids play area and a kids club for activities Mon-Fri afternoon.  The supermarket and lake side were about a five minute walk away and there plenty of places to eat and drink within a 10 minute walk. We used the airport transfer service, which was seamless and big shout out to Mika, who was fabulous! We would recommend this hotel to anybody, especially families with younger children.

Fantastic family holiday

This place is great. Starting with the location - opposite Monte Brione, with a full view of the olive groves. Into town it's about 2 km along the seashore. You can walk or take a bus. Beaches are close by, and so are enough good restaurants, some of which give Ambassador guests a discount. The suites offer cooking facilities and are amazingly well equipped. A big COOP supermarket offers all the necessary ingredients for your dinners. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a lot of choice for the breakfast buffet. Staff is friendly and helpful - and the Campari Spritz only costs 4.5o. The only problems were caused by a group of idiot guests who thought it a great idea to shout like hell and plunge into the pool at 11.30. Also, there's a building site in front, so make sure your room looks out to the back. But apart from that we had a great holiday and will definitely come back here.
