“In a short I think its a real bang for your buck and I highly recommend this place. We went there from 2025.06.22 to 2025.06.28 as a group of 9 people. We booked 2 bungalows, both were next to eachother, both had AC, a small kitchen and a bathroom. Since only 2 of us out of the 9 people spoke english we had to make a run for the reception on behalf of the group nearly on a daily basis and the staff were super friendly and helpful every time. The whole resort has WiFi for its residents even on the beach. The beach was good as well. They give each resident a sunbed with a parasol, the beach was cleaned regurally and they had lifeguards on duty for the whole day. The restaurant while it might not have the biggest selection they offered different meals every day and every meal I tried was delectious and reasonably priced. On the last day we wanted to get to the airport but sadly no van for 9 people were available. I talked to repetionist if they could take us to the airport and they managed to fulfill this last minute request.”

“Great place to be. Really good location and good beach. Cheap enough Uber into the city. The staff, particularly Claudia, are absolutely lovely and cannot be more helpful. The rooms and resort are a little dated but they are slowly doing work on it”

“Excellent Staff & Outstanding Service! I stayed at Villaggio Turistico Europeo for one month, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. Their warm hospitality made my long stay feel comfortable and enjoyable. The service throughout the resort was excellent, and I truly appreciate the care and attention they provided. Highly recommended!”
