Completely lacks charm, mediocre breakfast with runny eggs. I had stayed here 14 years ago as part of a bike tour and the AC didn't work. Well, 14 years later it still doesn't work. Room never got below 23.8 degrees despite multiple requests and assurances. Then when I asked at checkout to wipe off my 35 euros of incidentals as compensation, they were having none of it. (In the US that would have been a given.) The good news is there is a place up the street called something like Pizza and Gin that serves the best pizza in a country known for pizza.

This hotel was booked for our last two nights to relax. When we got there it was taken over by an Italian work party. They took all of the beach seats. And stood outside rooms smoking until 3am. No air con and they made noise through the corridors until 4am. We complained the next day and the manager smirked and said we were lying! We checked out after one night!

The rooms at this resort were spacious and comfortable. The grounds were well maintained. Rooms and public spaces were immaculate.There is a lovely private beach behind the hotel. Guests can also enjoy an array of services at their spa, which I arrived too late to enjoy. Meals in the hotel restaurant were very good. I attended a work retreat here, but would enthusiastically return for a personal vacation.

Everything about this place was amazing - amazing location, rooms, spa, restaurant and bar and service in general. Just steps off the beach, this special resort and spa is truly unique. The structure and rooms are all beautifully modern yet warm and inviting. The restaurant and food were also surprisingly amazing. When it comes to hotel spas usually the food and wine take a backseat but not at Tombolo Talasso. Everything was at the same high level. I was pleasantly taken aback. Tombolo Talasso Resort is also unique in that it can be a peaceful solo or couples retreat but also great for business travel and corporate - or events events. The real star (besides the staff) is the Spa. I opted for the Thalassotherapy Path in the Caves which was out of this world. Equipped with 5 different pools and hydrotherapies - all with water coming straight from the nearby sea! I cannot say enough about this. I had been suffering from some health issues and had read about certain water therapies helping. The cavernous spa was absolutely stunning. It felt as if I stepped into another universe. But the water itself and the order of the baths and pressures of each were geniunely healing and therapeutic. I also treated myself to an Ayurvedic Massage by Annalisa. One of the most transforming massages I've had - mind, body, and soul. Grazie mille Annalisa! Sei FANTASTICA. Do yourself a favor and book a treatment for the day - or an overnight stay at Tombolo Talasso Resort. What a wonderful experience. I can't wait to get back there hopefully soon!

Negative experience all around and remarkably below to a five star hotel. On several occasions staff was unhelpful and dismissive even for basic requests. The dinner was a slow and painful process whit several mistakes by the waiting staff. Reception and concierge was unhelpful and the service closer to a decent three star. Rooms ok but lacking the standard five star amenities including a volatile turn down service. Shame for all of that because the structure is very nice. Kudos to the mini club staff and barmam.
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at our resort. we are sincerely sorry to read your dissatisfaction with some aspects of the service that are honestly always a point highly appreciated by customers such as the staff, attitude and total availability: we are sorry you did not perceive this. The coverture, Mr Giamma, is always carried out every evening from 7 p.m., the waitresses do not enter if there is a do not disturb sign outside the door. Thank you for your compliments on the structure, the miniclub and the barman, we hope to welcome you again and give you top service. Regards Gianmarco Nasti, GM

I stayed at this hotel for two nights with my wife, six year son, and friends who have a kid the same age. Overall, the resort is well thought out and convenient for young kids. The beach is nearby and clean, the swimming pool is ideally sized and located. The kids club has short hours, but the staff is friendly and fun. However, the structure itself is past its prime, the beach is nothing to write home about, the rooms are small and fairly anonymous. The best part is the staff, impeccably helpful, smiling, and kind. The spa was also excellent. The worst part is the restaurants. Their menu items sound interesting, with elaborate names, but the execution is not up to the level you would expect for the prices or a five star hotel. The food is generally bland and barely sufficient. It was a pleasant stay and we had a good time, but definitely it was overpriced. If I had to go back, i would definitely avoid the restaurants.
Response from Property: Dear Mr Tom T Thank you for staying with your beautiful family here at the Tombolo Thalasso Resort. We thank you for your appreciation of our services. The kids club is very much appreciated by all our children as you described, and also by the parents :), also because many activities are carried out by the sea and in the resort's cool pine forest. Thank you also for the appreciation of the staff, our wonderful team loves to be at the service of our dear guests, and for the appreciation of the unique Thalasso SPA with heated seawater pools in caves. We hope to be able to host you again soon, Mr Tom, and why not, to offer you the opportunity to fully appreciate the food prepared by our talented chefs with the freshest raw materials and zero kilometre products. Cordially Gianmarco Nasti, General Manager

The quality of the food is really low. The hotel website describes the restaurant by quoting Alain Ducasse and “good km” local products. In reality our food experience was awful and our impression is that all the food is PRESERVED and low quality, NOT fresh at all: pasta with lobster is a fake as body and head of lobster are completely empty; gnocchi are those that you can buy in the supermarket expiring after one year; bolognese sauce smells really bad and couldn’t be less close to a fresh meat dish as you may expect to eat in Tuscany. The fruit salad served for dinner is the remainder of the breakfast and the dessert is old watermelon with addition of lime and mint not to taste so old… Same issues with the pool bar and the beach restaurant. More than 100 euros to eat an old mozzarella, an inedible hamburger (nothing like the real local meat) and an awful dish of pasta. The price is that of a 5 star hotel, but it’s a scandalous quality/price ratio! We paid 8000 euro for ten days with two little kids and will never come back again.

The queues in the restaurant for breakfast were terrible, the milk was off, and they couldn't cook an egg. The concierge was non-existent, and we had to rely on friends to show us where the pool was and tell us that the use of the spa was included in the price we paid.
Response from Property: Dear Mr David, We would like to thank you and your large group of friends who came to your event celebration for staying at our resort. We are sorry to read of your dissatisfaction. We hope you enjoyed all the other services of the resort, such as our Thalasso SPA with purified and heated seawater pools, the beach and the services of the bathing establishment comfortable and spacious, the room assigned for size and cleanliness and the free minibar, all services always included in our rates in addition to the use of an outdoor swimming pool with seawater and the car valet parking. Dear Mr David, all our services included in the rate are clearly indicated in all the phases of choice, booking and confirmation of the room, as well as explicitly communicated verbally (together with the timetable) at check-in by our staff, who are available 24 hours a day to provide any kind of information at the reception/concierge desk. As we said in response to another review by your group of friends, our wait staff is always attentive and ready to quickly satisfy all guest requests, even on occasions like yours when many people and groups of friends arrive almost simultaneously for breakfast and service times can inevitably be a bit longer, despite the fact that we have an adequate number of staff and work seriously and with commitment. We hope you will be able to return and enjoy the relaxation offered by our Resort on a future occasion, other than the last convivial one. Kind Regards. G.Nasti, General Manager

This is without a doubt the worst 5 star hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have stated at plenty. Their prices are 5 star but their service is very much 3 star. There is an obvious shortage of trained staff, breakfast is a fiasco. The buffet is shielded by Perspex screens with one sometimes two staff trying to satisfy the crowd of people trying to get served. Don’t go in early or you get the excuses the breakfast rolls have not arrived yet. Don’t waste your time asking for a hot coffee as the norm is Luke warm if you are lucky. The fiasco goes on. I asked for a club sandwich for my wife without bacon ask she has an allergy, the response was you can’t have that as the sandwich is already made. Not fresh but waiting around for someone to have the misfortune to order it. All for a cost of €26 euros. Now don’t get me wrong I expect the price in a 5 star hotel but this hotel fall way below this standard. In summary I would never visit this hotel again.
Response from Property: Dear Mr Steve, We would like to thank you and the whole large group of your friends who came to the celebration of your event for staying at our resort. Mr Steve, we are sorry to read your dissatisfaction. As we said in response to another review by your group of friends, our dining room staff is always attentive and ready to respond quickly to all guest requests, even on occasions such as yours when so many people and groups of friends arrive almost simultaneously for breakfast and service times can inevitably be a little long, despite the fact that we have an adequate number of staff and work seriously and with commitment. True, we still protect the buffet because we care about the health of our guests as well as that of our employees who still wear masks, at a time when the covid is not yet over, quite the contrary. Regarding club sandwiches, we confirm that they are prepared daily by our chef. In your case, you ordered it at the outdoor pool bar where it was served but not prepared, so it was not available for immediate serving. We hope, Mr Steve, that you have enjoyed all the other services of the resort, such as our Thalasso SPA with purified and heated seawater pools, the beach and the services of the bathing establishment comfortable and spacious, the room assigned for size and cleanliness and the free minibar, all services always included in our rates in addition to the use of an outdoor swimming pool also with seawater and the car valet parking. We hope to welcome you again soon to offer you a fully satisfying stay. Kind Regards. G.Nasti, General Manager

CHE DELUSIONE Siamo stati ospiti l anno scorso di questo resort e nonostante un po datato ci siamo trovati molto bene ... Quest anno purtroppo le cose non sono andate così tre giorni pessimi . Dal personale non idoneo per questa struttura che si definisce 5 stelle ...... Siamo stati sbalorditi ..... INVIAMO trovato lo scorso anno una cucina stellare pensate che la nostra scelta di rifare una vacanza da voi si era basata soprattutto per questo ... Ma quest anno abbiamo trovato una cucina da mensa cibo mediocre e senza sapore ..... Siamo caduti in basso ,personale di sala non all altezza ... E stato un peccato aver buttato via i soldi . Non ci ritorneremo più.

Qualità prezzo direi ottima,forse perché non siamo anche in alta stagione. Il ristorante stupisce per la grande qualità di vini,specialmente del posto,addirittura si può trovare il Masseto nella lista dei vini..consigliando pure l'annata più eccellente.. Una Spa più unica che rara..una spiaggia molto comoda e attrezzata..una colazione generosa con pasticcera direi molto capace..ma soprattutto posizionato nella Toscana maremmana che regala al turista quella natura immersa tra colline e pini ,che fa evaporare i demoni assimilati nella città...ma soprattutto è la terra dei super Tuscan..dei Marchesi che hanno saputo valorizzare la Toscana rendendola una regione competitiva a livello mondiale.. Se poi in questo scenario caratteristico di questa regione, si aggiunge un resort come questo,la vacanza diviene senza dubbio un'esperienza fantastica..regalando al turista che se ne va..un bel ricordo, ma soprattutto un'improvvisato nodo in gola ..nel lasciare ..quella regione italiana chiamata Toscana..

Ciao! Ho trascorso due giorni in questa struttura! Camera accomodante e personale accogliente ma soprattutto nel centro benessere dove ho fatto un trattamento. Splendido! Sofia è stata gentilissima e meravigliosa. Dopo il peeling con sali marini e il suo massaggio sono rinata!!! Grazie Sofia! ❤️

Le camere sono accoglienti e abbastanza grandi. Il servizio è da 5 stelle cortese, efficiente e accogliente. La Spa non è molto grande e ci possono venire anche ospiti esterni. Fortunatamente siamo andati in un periodo di bassa stagione perché era abbastanza piena e questo ha limitato un po l'utilizzo in tranquillità di alcune vasche oltre a non aver trovato dei lettini disponibili. Vengono forniti asciugamani e ciabattine per la Spa. Abbiamo usufruito di un massaggio di coppia e ci è piaciuto il servizio. Siamo stati ospiti del ristorante e abbiamo trovato un servizio adeguato anche se un pochino lento, piatti buoni e ben presentati. Molto gentili a venire incontro alle esigenze di una persona celiaca. La colazione è molto varia e abbondante ma per le persone celiache solo alcuni prodotti confezionati. Si potrebbe fare qualcosa di più per venire incontro a questa particolare esigenza. Sono presenti delle colonnine per la riparazione dei veicoli elettrici ma i prezzi sono alti.

La struttura è certamente di alto livello anche se presenta qualche segno di usura, certamente un po' di rinnovamento generale gioverebbe. Al check in si preoccupano di tutto e nel nostro caso la camera era già disponibile molto prima dell'orario previsto. Molto bene la spa anche se la zona piscine, dalle foto, me l'aspettavo più grande. Però pulita e funzionale. Fantastica la piscina con la musica sotto il livello dell'acqua, è sufficiente immergere le orecchie e chiudere gli occhi per sentirsi in un'altra dimensione. Forse un po' ridotta la zona saune dove in effetti non c'è molta scelta e non ci sono attività organizzate come ad esempio l'Augfuss che darebbe un tocco in più. Ristorante di alto livello, cucina eccellente e servizio top. Analoga valutazione per la colazione. Camera spaziosa e veramente ottima l'idea di lasciare il minibar ad uso gratuito. Bagno sufficientemente ampio ma con cabina doccia non all'altezza del livello generale della struttura. Il soffione è piccolo, montato su supporto mobile e deteriorato dalle incrostazioni di calcare. Dispenser dei prodotti da bagno non fissati a parete ma lasciati un po' a caso sul supporto interno alla doccia. TV con sky a disposizione. La sera nella hall c'è un piacevole intrattenimento di pianoforte dal vivo. Spiaggia privata a poche decine di metri dall'hotel con ombrelloni e gazebo riservati agli ospiti inclusi teli mare. Bar della spiaggia un po' costoso ma rientra nel livello generale della struttura. Alla fine possiamo dire che è stato un ottimo soggiorno, sicuramente da ripetere.
