This place is rustic, beautiful and great location from beaches in cinque terre. Buffet is worth it, the restaurant inside is very good. Service is good. Shower is hot and relaxing, Secure, the only thing is no ac but for the price and location we did bring personal fan for everyone. Shuttle to beach, they offer, but is third party and very limited, if you need make sure you put your name list on first day. Also restaurante dine in has a list on front desk, put your name as well. If you forget to put name restaurant they will give you a table but whatever location open first. You can also drive down to beaches but recommend very early around 645 am so you can secure a whole day spot by beach. Chairs and umbrella on beaches are limited. Arrive early pay and reserve before 730. People will be waiting line earlier. We had awesome time, just need to be patient, tons o people small beaches.
