The best service ever from a place we didn't stay!
The booking had not been confirmed to the hotel by Hotels.com and they were full so could not accommodate us. The staff were incredibly helpful and apologetic even though it was clearly not their fault. The manager found us a table by the pool with a cold drink while they put themselves out to find us another hotel. They found us two options and even offered to drive us to the other hotel and pick us up later for dinner at a restaurant we had already booked. We chose one of the hotels and as we left they gave us a gift to take with us. When we checked out from the other hotel they would not take payment as the bill had already been paid by Hotel Kennedy. Thank you to all at the Kennedy who went above and beyond to help us out!

A bit dissapointing
We did not manage to stay at this hotel for the two nights booked as we had to return home due to my ill health. Before we left for home my husband and myself went to the hotel to change the name to my daughters. Which was not a problem, the receptionist seemed to be helpful and changed the booking. When my daughter checked in with her husband and daughter, aged 6yrs. They told her there would not be an extra charge for my granddaughter. The hotel asked us to contact Hotel.com to let them know of the change, which I did. However they had to pay for her continental breakfast. My granddaughter slept with her parents as there was no extra bed. When she checked out two days later, I was disappointed to find out that they had charged her an extra 72euros, Even though they had assured he that there would be no extra charge. We have used this hotel for the last 3years but will probably rethink when returning to Italy next year. The rating for rooms is from my daughter as my husband and myself did not stay here this year.

Nice Hotel close to beach.
The beach was nice but underpass could be doing with being refurbished. Beach staff, he was friendly and helpful. The pools and surrounding were nice. We ate in the ajoining restaurant several times. 24hour reception was certainly needed and appreciated by us, as our flight was delayed and arrived at 2.40am.

Value for money....clean and comfy
We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting family in the area. It was pre-season so the property was just getting it's seasonal prep although it was very nicely presented for the off season. First impression of the lobby and restaurant area were good as I felt the price per night was extremely reasonable when I was searching for a place to stay.The garden beds were colourful and pool area was nicely presented. The rooms were kept clean and serviced daily. The breakfast buffet offered a large range of choices which was looked after by a very professional, polite and helpful young Italian man. The front desk people were always very professional and presented themselves well. The owner/manager always had a pleasant greeting and often asked if we were comfortable. I would definitely return to Club Kennedy Hotel and will recommend it to other family members planning on travelling to visit the area.

Great hotel if it weren't for the parties!
My biggest complaint is that almost every evening there was a private function going on, thus closing the pool area to all paying guests and playing very loud music until about 1:30am! Unfortunately the rooms are not soundproof so we had to listen to "YMCA" all night long! Most nights we did not fall asleep until 2am! Other than that, the room was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast is the BEST! The pool is beautiful! Unfortunately, by the time we would return to the hotel from being on the beach all day, we were unable to use this beautiful pool because they would be setting up for a private function!

Unfriendly
A few items about this hotel: Firstly, the AC was horrible and didnt work. The room remained humid all evening. Secondly, the check-in staff was not friendly, and it's weird they would take possession of my passport when I checked in and returned it on my way out for dinner after asking. If they needed to make a copy, they should do it in front of you. I am worried abotu this. Thirdly, the music outside the room was way too loud. The music continued till very late in the evening. The hotel seems to cater to locals, not tourists. The breakfast was a bunch of pre-packed cookies and muffins.

Nur auf den ersten Blick top
Der Start war geprägt von Zimmersuche ohne Fehler. Im ersten ließ sich die Balkontür nicht öffnen, im zweiten war die Klimaanlage defekt. Das dritte war dann ok, bis auf die Bettkopfteile, die sind in den gesehenen Zimmern im miserablen Zustand. Ansonsten Zimmer groß, Bad auch ok. Großer Pool ohne Stehtiefe, Damentoilette nicht abschließbar, Toilettendeckel liegt daneben !! Frühstück: Rührei nicht frisch (Geruch?) Etwas mehr Achtsamkeit fürs Detail wäre angebracht. Schon für deutlich weniger Geld qualitativ wesentlich besser übernachtet.
