Hotel Regina del Mare

Beautiful beachfront property! All rooms face out to the sea. This is a place to rest & relax & recharge. To get here, take the bus to Maronti Beach & then take the steps down to the sea. From there, turn right & follow the wooden path to the hotel. Or, contact the hotel once arriving at the bus stop & someone will meet you there & help with your luggage & walk the path with you. Great breakfast with lattes & cappuccinos, as well as juice, water & milk. Very helpful staff who kindly stored my luggage & purse on my last day so I could sit in a beach chair. I felt very safe there. My only issues were that I was locked out one night when I returned after 11pm. After 5-10 mins of loud knocking & ringing the hotel on my mobile, I was let in. And - I left my patio doors open & was surprised by the number of biting bugs keeping me up at night! I've been to Italy many times & have never had an issue with mosquitoes. This is a location issue though & not isolated to the hotel. But be mindful of leaving the patio doors open, in spite of the beautiful breeze! There are not a lot of restaurants in the walking area but they all offered tasty meals. There are water taxis to Sant'angelo for 4 euro & there are more restaurants & cafes there & it is a bit more lively, but things slow down fairly early... perfect for those early morning beach walks. There are beach chairs right in front of the hotel & the water is beautiful for swimming.
