Check in was quite easy and they offered an early check in, our rooms were rear by 1pm when we arrived. Room is nice, bathroom a little outdated
Simply our favorite place.
We are an extended family made up of two grandparents, three families, and kids ranging from 10 to 17 years old, and for the past ten years, we’ve chosen Alborea Eco Lodge as our summer holiday destination. Every time it confirms our love for it—and every time, it’s hard to leave.
Once again this year, the nautical activities were a big hit, especially with the kids, who enthusiastically took part in windsurfing, sailing, and canoeing.
The food this year was perhaps the best we’ve had in the past ten years. A sincere thank-you and congratulations to the entire kitchen staff.
A special mention goes to the Zurawski Band, whose live music created truly beautiful moments, adding a touch of quality and atmosphere to the already engaging entertainment offered by Bluserena’s amazing Dream Team.
The resort staff is impeccable—kind, helpful, and always attentive to guests’ needs, from the reception team to the dining room staff, the bar crew, and the shuttle drivers.
A lovely new addition this year was Gianmarco, the photographer, who, with great professionalism and discretion, managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our vacation.
We highly recommend taking the time for a personalized photo session with him—a truly special memory to take home.
For us, Alborea is much more than just a destination: it’s a tradition, a family ritual, a place where every year we find warm hospitality, nature, comfort, and genuine beauty.
Exceptionally friendly staff in this relaxing resort. Perfectly equipped for traveling with kids all ages. Great beach!

Bungalow vieillissant tant extérieur que pour le mobilier
Bar : la formule tt compris n’apporte qu’une sélection de cocktail et alcool mais de qualité moyenne
Piscine : forme agréable mais autant entretenue qu’attendu pour un 5* - Épine de pain dans la piscine, bain de soleil tous taché. Doit mieux faire.
Plage : très belle

Les +: le site, le lodge très spacieux, la plage magnifique.
Les -:
- l'organisation de l'hôtel beaucoup trop compliquée, le système de paiement par carte même si c'est inclus, les systèmes de réservation variables selon les restaurants selon les services, le vin gratuit au bar mais pas à table, la serviette de bain de la piscine qui ne peut pas être emmenée à la plage,... Le personnel est très bien mais on leur demande de gérer cette usine à gaz et les clients ne comprennent pas le fonctionnement de l'hôtel
- mauvais enregistrement de mon nom dans leur systeme m'interdisant toute reservation
- les équipements du lodge, le coffre ne marchait pas à notre arrivée, il manque une lampe de chevet, le WC coule, la clim qui s'arrête au bout de 12h, la clim qui est réglée à 18 par les femmes de ménage, une sonnerie breve qui nous réveille toutes les nuits à 2h du matin jusqu'à ce qu'on déconnecte tous les équipements
- le restaurant de plage non inclus dans le tout inclus
- le panier repas Sea Box, pourrait être bien s'il n'était pas tous les jours le même .

A good 3 star hotel. But absolutely not 5 star as advertised. Needs investment to bring it up to the level it is advertised as.
Soggiorno passato nel totale relax, Ottimo Cibo dalla colazione alla cena, molto variegato e di Qualità, per finire con i dolci Squisiti.
Personale di servizio della Reception Cortese, accogliente e disponibile.
Un plauso al Direttore del Ristorante e tutti gli chef, compresi i camerieri educati e disponibili.
Un caro saluto a Grazia e Domi le signore delle pulizie di una bontà unica.
Un caro saluto anche a Tony del resort, Mariagrazia e Caterina Autista del trenino!
Cosa non mi è piaciuto?
Gli ospiti... Alcuni di loro non tutti logicamente, non rispettando gli altri nella sala ristorante, non facendo la fila, che poi fila di 20 secondi a persona per scegliere la pietanza da prendere, passando avanti con no chalance.
Per Finire la mia recensione Un caro Saluto a tutti voi dalla stanza 116 che ha soggiornato da voi dal 18 al 24 Agosto 2024 e spero di tornare presto a trovarvi per le prossime vacanze estive.
Gianluca e famiglia.
Ho soggiornato per 5 giorni . Apprezzato molto la tranquillità, la disponibilità e cortesia del personale, la pulizia di tutti gli spazi . La comodità della suite.
Die Anlage liegt am Randes eines Pinienwaldes und die Bungalow (Suites) sind grossflächig verteilt, so dass es genügend Privatsphäre gibt. Generell ist di Anlage eher rugig. Das "Nachtleben findet in benachbarten Alagen statt die mitbenutzt werden können. Das Essen findet in einem klimatsierten Raum statt. Das Buffet ist sehr abwechlungsreich.
Der Pool ist mit Salzwasser gefüllt. Der Strand leider nur mit einem Shuttle-Bus erreichbar.
Die Fahrt dauert 20 Minuten.
Les chambres ne sont pas des chambres 5 etoiles- il s’agit d’un club de vacances- aucun animateur présent pendant tout le sejour

Nous avons apprécié les mesures anti-Covid19.
Nous avons été déçu du « all inclusive » qui n’est pas all inclusive. Il inclus certaines boissons mais pas toutes.
Vacanza fantastica per chi cerca relax è un villaggio completamente immerso nel verde, con camere super spaziose, cucina ottima e piscina comoda per i bambini. La spiaggia è lontana, bisogna prendere un trenino, ma devo dire di non aver mai avuto problemi! Tutto ovunque è molto spazioso e curato, anche se le camere e qualche punto della struttura non sembrano essere nuovi, meriterebbero una “rinfrescata”. I servizi offerti come ristoranti/sport/attrezzature per il mare sono ottimi.
Inizialmente la nostra vacanza avrebbe dovuto svolgersi presso alborea...poco prima di partire siamo stati contattati dal kalidria che ci ha proposto uno spostamento presso la loro struttura omaggiandoci di un percorso spa ed assicurandoci di ottenere gli stessi servizi e vantaggi prenotati precedentemente. La nostra esperienza è stata super positiva. Struttura di lusso, spazi ben curati, camera spaziosa, ben arredata, ricca di ogni comfort. Sono stati sei giorni all’insegna del relax e del benessere. Fantastico il percorso spa. Ho trovato molto vantaggioso il servizio di accompagnamento alla spiaggia e di gran gusto il cibo è il servizio presso i ristoranti. La spiaggia pulita e ben attrezzata, mare stupendo. Piacevole scoperta è stato l’incontro col grande Vasco Rossi...non è una cosa da tutti i giorni. Meravigliose le piscine e le vasche idromassaggio da poter utilizzare in qualsiasi momento della giornata.
Vacanza a cinque stelle in uno scenario da favola.
Consigliatissimo per le coppie e per le famiglie grazie anche alla possibilità di poter assistere agli spettacoli presso i villaggi attigui facenti parte della riserva naturale nella quale la struttura è immersa. Prezzi vantaggiosi grazie all’ottimo servizio di Hotels.com
Ottima struttura, camere e villaggio ben tenuto.
Staff educato, gentile e sempre disponibile: dalla reception alla sala ristorante, dal bar al servizio pulizie.
Ben supportato dal vicino Valentino per animazione e spettacoli.
Nous y avons sejournė 7 jours. L'atmosphère y est très agréable. La cuisine est magnifique, le personnel très à l'écoute et chaleureux. Le confort de la chambre (du lodge) est parfait avec une excellente climatisation (rare) L'environnement magnifique dans une forêt d'essences mediterraneennes protegėe. Un bonheur.
