Detailed Reviews

For the second consecutive year, my family and I spent the week at the Cormorant between July and August.
Already last year I left a very positive review, the starting standard was therefore very high, but this year they even improved!
Starting from the structures I noticed several upgrade works. The car parks are now completely paved and there are even more places covered with solar panels. It has been revised the bottom of the central pool which is now more enjoyable even for children having replaced the steps with a slight descent that simulates entering the sea. During peak hours the shuttle service can now count on 2 trains that halve the already short waits of last year when a single train was in service.
Our room, despite being in the same category as last year, we found it better, more comfortable and with a really efficient air conditioning system.
As for meals it was a pleasant confirmation with Maria Cristina and Angelica to take care of my wife (celiac) with specially designed proposals. Even for lunches at the beach restaurant we always found a place whenever we wanted to stay a little longer (by Reservation the same morning).
A huge praise goes to the animation team led by Alfio, a true multifaceted show man, very nice and inexhaustible energy. He and his team were able to involve us without ever making us feel obliged with great tact and sympathy.
In a nutshell they made us feel GOOD!
I do not usually repeat reviews of places already visited, but when it is so obvious the effort to improve from year to year, then the thing should be recognized and rewarded!
Keep it up and we hope to see you soon!

A week's holiday, together with my 10 year old daughter, booked in advance with Maria from 8five Tourism who, thanks to her kindness and professionalism, provided me with details and support from the first moment.
The reality far exceeded expectations, which were already high before departure. This is thanks to the courtesy and impeccable efficiency of all the staff, starting from the reception staff, the ladies who take care of cleaning the rooms, the dining room and kitchen staff who are always available, kind and smiling. But also thanks to a beautiful, comfortable, functional, well-kept and clean structure in the internal and external spaces as well as on the beach. Thanks to the services made available (the transfer from the train station to the structure on arrival and then departure, the train connecting to the sea, the two swimming pools, the restaurant on the beach, the SPA, just to name a few).
An excellent quality/price ratio for a high-level all-inclusive starting from the varied, plentiful and quality food.
A special mention for those who made our holiday unforgettable, namely the boys and girls of the entertainment staff without exception, led by Marco and Maria. A group of excellence, professional, engaging, fun, friendly, UNIQUE!! A heartfelt thank you to all of them!!

We are back home after spending a practically perfect holiday. The staff, from the reception, to the cleaning ladies to the really friendly and helpful room, always ready to fulfill every request with extreme diligence. Food always in abundance and of excellent quality, with a remarkable variability of proposal.
A special mention goes to all the animation staff led by Alfio, in years of holidays in the village I have never felt such a strong union, such a high professionalism (professional football and tennis instructors, as well as Raffaella, the choreographer, fitness instructor and European vice-champion of Latin American dances), and despite these very high standards, guys always available, ready to involve everyone, even the most reluctant, without ever being intrusive.
Alfio a true Leader, a drag!
Thank you all for making this holiday week nothing short of perfect!!!!

As soon as you arrive in this village you are welcomed by the animators and already by their smiles and their kindness you understand that they will be beautiful days, you arrive in the room, all clean, all neat, go out and find a beautiful village with two fabulous pools a beautiful restaurant and whatever you need you can ask the very kind staff of reception.the level of food is very high, excellent raw materials all fresh and everything I repeat ALL the staff is ready to smile at you and do everything so that your stay is of the best.The director an exquisite person and disponibile.In baby bottle, then there are Angelica and Maria two golden girls, hard workers who will cheer your stay with their sympathy and availability but I repeat , all really all the staff always friendly, always kind. The lady who cleaned our room always so kind and the thing that struck me was that if she noticed a slight defect, a creaking window called someone herself to fix that little discomfort so that everything was perfect. The highlight, however, is the animation led by Alfio a true Pro of his work who created a unique team with (just to name a few) the fantastic Natalia of Valtur Land who together with Sofia big and small Aurora, Chiara, Alice made my baby feel at home pampered among a thousand activities, Alessia, Raffaela (a very good dancer), Carmelo Giovanni the DJ and the sweet Marco , the singer and how to forget the very nice Dario water bottle you made us have fun every night with your fantastic shows and your enthusiasm! You guys fantastici.voglio also mention Mr. Pino who takes the train to get to the sea of a unique friendliness... in this place everyone works well, work with a smile, you have made ours and especially that of our child a unique holiday and I can only wish the best to all of you! Claudio, Roberta, Eleanor and Beatrice

Room 408, booked from 12 to 20 August.
At the reception we didn't find anyone to offer us a glass of water, or to welcome us... let alone for our suitcases... it was Saturday... they told us that it was a day of rest (for the entertainers) and for the staff of the facility ?
Leaving aside this, which is already serious for a 4 star hotel, when we arrived in the room we found it dirty, with tufts of dust between the bed and the curtains and even full of ants... the sheets had holes in them (I attach a photo) but I say... a check before deliver the room to a customer right??
WE spent 4600 euros for 8 days.. I expect a room as God commands..
I think that's the minimum!!!
Once the reception has been notified, they will take care of the cleaning.
I would have expected an excuse me… nothing
Not even a kettle in the room to heat the baby's milk.. at night I was forced to go to the baby bottle shop.. which is absurd nowadays all facilities have a kettle in the room.. let alone a 4 star hotel.
Also in the room there were just 2 sockets. One in the bathroom and one on the bedside table.. my wife and I took turns charging the cell phone!
We carry on trying not to ruin our holiday but the services offered are not up to par.
Good but not exceptional restaurant, all inclusive which is not an all inclusive... only drinks on tap until 11pm, granitas, some cocktails prepared by the bar (only from 6pm to 7pm) are included, only silano bitters, only pizza from 5.30pm to 6.30pm and coffee.
I'll start by saying that it's not a problem since I also spent 700 euros extra (you can check) but this is not an all inclusive... I've been to other villages where it was ALL INCLUSIVE, but really everything..., aperitifs at all hours, super alcohol, ice cream, Nutella crepes for children...
Having said that, each company has its own policy... God forbid...
Go on …
The sea can be reached by a nice little train that runs every 15 minutes or you can get there by car.
The beach service also needs to be reviewed...
You arrive there, no one welcomes you, the lifeguards don't bother, you choose the free umbrella and do it yourself..
Finally, before leaving, I go to pay for everything, among other things, comparing myself with other people there on holiday, I paid a higher price than the others who booked a little earlier than me, (this is not nice for a customer) I ask very kindly if it is possible to check out 1 hour later... they don't even let me finish speaking, they already tell me it's not possible... and they don't even tell me: how did it go? Everything OK ? Nothing …
This isn't knowing how to deal with customers.. it doesn't change anything for the receptionist.. but this way you will lose many other customers like me.
For departure we couldn't even find a trolley to carry our luggage to the car... we carried everything by hand.
positive notes, the staff in the restaurant and bar are really kind, courteous and professional.
Swimming pool and safe village for children
I definitely won't go back

As for the room: great cleaning and linen change, I would have preferred a more convenient location at the restaurant and reception... it will be for the prox time
Food: lots of assortment, good quality, slightly unripe fruit would have been more appreciated if ripe
Animation: excellent already appreciated previous year in another structure, very good guys and the boss Alfio 🔝
A suggestion: the presence of a coin-operated washing machine would be appreciated.

The resort is the right size, not distracting and not too small. Everything is very well looked after, from the green spaces to the swimming pools, which are always spotless. Friendly staff, excellent food, buffet with various options for both lunch and dinner. Both sweet and savory breakfast, always very varied. The all-inclusive formula is very convenient! Non-intrusive animation, with two or three truly high-level elements such as Alessia, Giulia and Lorenzo. Beach with attention to detail, well-spaced umbrellas, crystal clear sea reachable by a very comfortable train that runs every 10 minutes. Perfect room, spacious and daily obsessive cleaning of all spaces. A truly applause to everyone! WELL DONE!!

First time for me and my family on holiday in a village with all-inclusive formula. Expectations confirmed 100%, competent staff starting from the reception, the staff dedicated to photography, all the animation staff from Alfio (team leader) to all the guys who are part of the animation crew, where professionalism, smile and sympathy accompany every single minute of the day.
A special praise to the kitchen department where all the staff led by chef Salvatore, has the ability to make every meal live up to in a wedding banquet, EXCEPTIONAL.
If the structure for next year will invest in the renovation of the rooms (a bit dated, but spotless), they can aspire to become a 5-star structure.

I don't usually write reviews but in this case I can't help myself. Compact and not at all distracting structure, impeccable organization. Food far beyond expectations and super helpful dining room staff. The beach, detached from the structure and easily reachable by train (it never stops) on foot or with bikes made available to guests, is large and well-kept. There is a beach bar with a large lawn area as well as water dispensers directly on the beach. There is no shortage of playgrounds. Top entertainment, young, professional and professional people, the soul of the village... fantastic guys who you struggle to separate from at the end of the holiday.

We stayed the last week of June and what about, everything perfect!!! Dear receptionists, staff in the room polite and available to off-menu requests, bottle service with Maria really excellent, the food then nothing to object, we ate very well from first to last meal, really high quality.
Animators that make you feel at home, are present but not insistent.
The beach lido is beautiful, bar and restaurant with shaded area on the lawn for those who want refreshment or fully equipped beach.
The structure is clean and well maintained and is all within reach of children who can run around without thoughts but always under the watchful eye of the team. An applause to Valtur land with Natalia, Alice , Aurora, Chiara, who made the holiday unforgettable for my 4-year-old son Alberto, offering beautiful activities and dancing.
In short, I recommend the cormorant for those who still have doubts

Per i ragazzi organizzano tante cose , ma ovviamente sulla base della disponibilità dei giovani ospiti. Sul resto, per mia scarsa affinità con le attività nautiche, non so, ma è un villaggio che comunque cerca di soddisfare le diverse esigenze
