Forte Village Resort - Villa Del Parco & Spa

"We stayed in Forte Village Resort - Castello II in August for 5 nights (bungalow no 409). Unfortunatelly this hotel is far away from 5 stars. There are many better options anywhere else in the world and if Forte Village wants to charge the prices they do, they need to do some market research and see what their competitors globally offer in return. Comperatively for example to Maxx Royal hotels or One and Only Portonovi this hotel is max 2-3 stars. You have to pay for everything additional - even to rent a bikes. Pools are old and dirty and needs to be renovated. Lifeguard blocks sunbets on Castello swimming pool by putting newsoapers on it for the „special guets” (like in Egypt :) Very often sunbeds are blocked all day and guests never come.. I asked manager (older guy) from the reception the reason they do this and he said that there are some „special guests” that pay more for the rooms and they have priority… he could not understand my anger. The big advantage of the hotel is staff - everyone always have a friendly and helpful attitude. Especially guys from Tiki Beach Bar, Andrea from diving center (fantastic instructor for kids with huge experience and great attitude), Marco from the grill restaurant (he has the potential to be a manager) Hotel defenietely has a grat potential because of its location but it needs to be reorganised and renovated."

Forte Village Resort - Pineta

"Please read before booking. We wish we had. The bad and reason for 2 star review is that we booked and paid 5 star prices, but the accommodation, food and ambiance is 3 star at best. The good. The range of activities. The sports academy was excellent. The u club excellent. The football academy was excellent. The staff we met were very very good. They and the customers are being let down by the resort. Why? Well, the whole resort is very tired. The worst accommodation we have stayed in. The buildings of Pineta are badly in need of renovation. Our building had flaking paint and broken/rotting wood. The interiors were utilitarian, basic, worn, out dated and cheap. Not the luxury 5 star accommodation we expected. We were so disappointed. We paid £7,000 for 7 nights. Unfortunately the room reflected pretty much the full resort. Restaurants - Pineta. Decor tired. Outside buffet restaurant. Food uncovered. Food nice. Open to flies and wasps. Staff very nice. Free wine and water. Sardo. Waiter service. Decor poor. Food not really to our taste, but nice. Staff lovely. Forte Grill. Food good. Decor poor. Staff lovely. Oasis for breakfast. Very poor experience. Buffet, open to outdoors. Food okay, but not covered. Flies everywhere. All over food. Not enough tables and we were there before the English holidays started. Often we had to sit in the sun, as all tables in shade were full. Pools - pineta. Tiny pool. Dirty glass round pool. No bar. Just fridge to buy drinks. Felt more like a decorative pond than pool. Oasis pool. Large pool with bar. However. Glass dirty. Pool not clean. Sand often round bottom. Weeds growing up round tiles and glass. Hard to get lounger in gazebo, so often no shade as no umbrellas. Drinks - extremely expensive. This would be fine if we felt the resort was 5 star. But we were paying 20 euros for a glass of whispering angel in a restaurant that didn’t support that kind of price. We found that really hard. Public toilets - the ladies were fine. Dated but staff seem to clean. The men’s were terrible. The smell of urine hit you as you walked by. I was shocked. We felt badly about our holiday. We work hard and paid a lot of money and the resort was not as it looks in the pictures. This was so disappointing. The good was the staff. They are mostly young and trying. But they are let down by the quality of the resort. Our son loved the u club. Matteo and Margarite are a credit to the company. The football academy was excellent. Staff lovely and set up very good. Bikes good and concierge at bikes very nice man. We will not return and not recommend. Wish we’d went on a cruise."

Forte Village Resort - Il Castello

"We stayed at Forte Village over half term and are already planning our return visit. We visited with two children (aged 7 and 9) and were amazed by the facilities available. We loved the variety of the different pools and the stunning beach, the water is incredible. The waterpark, basketball and football pitches were a hit with the children. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner, listening to the piano, and the steak a la carte restaurant. There was plenty of food and a good variety. The staff were excellent, they could not do enough to ensure we had a wonderful time. Hotel Castello has a perfect location in the resort, near the beach - we found the garden bungalow spacious with very comfortable beds. If you are looking at visiting, do not hesitate - we will be recommending this resort to everyone. A special mention to Valentina for making our stay so enjoyable."

Forte Village Resort - le Dune

"Great experience. Everything was amazing. Beautiful spots, great restaurants, great team, great services. Very impressive vegetation ( trees, plants… )."

Italianway - Locanda Della Meridiana

"The complex is truly beautiful. However, it's not quite as positive as many people portray it. The rooms are quite small (with a few exceptions), and the street noise is sometimes quite loud. All of this is manageable, but what wasn't so positive was the attitude with which you were sometimes treated. It was quite patronizing when asking about the room category. A bit more friendliness at reception would have made it more enjoyable. Another recommendation: A bit more choice at breakfast (perhaps an egg, cheese, etc.)"

Residence Baia delle Palme

"The location is very beautiful, the exterior landscaping is impeccable, the problem lies in the accommodation: there is no soundproofing, you can hear the neighbors as if they were in the room (there is only a separating door between the two apartments) and you can hear the upstairs neighbors walking, talking, going to the toilet,..."

Forte Village Resort - Bouganville

"I wouldn’t bother booking this resort! Spend your hard earned money else where! If you want to set your own breakfast table every Morning and be sat waiting for meat at the Brazilian for ages even after asking for them then be my guest. High prices and low staff is what this place is about. Fighting for Sunbeds every morning. I will not be returning!!"

Hotel Del Corso

Forte Village Resort - Il Borgo

"We stayed for three days in this renowned structure. Super helpful staff, delicious restaurants and well-kept pools. The miniclub for children is fantastic. The rooms are spacious and close to everything. Super recommended!"
