"Pros- breakfast was simple but very good, breakfast room was cute. The ladies who worked the breakfast in the mornings were all so nice. View was nice. Room was fine for the most part. Valeria was especially lovely Cons- the noise was crazy. You could hear people walking, talking, showering all hours of the night. The shower was so tight I was banging my elbows when washing my hair. I asked for a room upgrade and was shown a better room so we decided to take it, but when we brought all of our luggage down to the front desk, we were then informed that it was only available for a partial part of our stay. This wasn’t communicated when I was taken to see the room, so it felt like a big waste of time and energy. The street parking was basically non existent. We had to park about 400m away and walk back. We wouldn’t stay here again, but I also don’t recommend against it. It wasn’t terrible. It just wasn’t for us."

"We recently visited Argentario for a joint 40th birthday trip and it did not disappoint. The hotel was beautiful and situated in a stunning landscape. The golf course was incredible and in perfect condition. Throughout our stay the staff were excellent and we were made to feel very welcome and looked after. If you’re looking for a perfect place to relax and unwind, this is it!"

"The front desk staff was extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. The location is perfect, on the piazzia. "

"The staff at the hotel is amazing from the moment you pull up to the door. I would’ve loved to stay longer it was such a beautiful experience. A special shout out to Marina who makes every guest feel special. The hotel was beautiful, the beach club is phenomenal. Great people, great property."

"Il Pellicano is a dream. The property is stunning and exquisitely maintained. The views are breathtaking. The staff is most gracious. The perfect place for a peaceful and restorative getaway. We tried both dining options for dinner--the informal as well as the Michelin-starred dining room--and both were excellent. The latter was one of the best meals we've ever had anywhere, and we're serious food people who live in New York. We'll be back."

"Love it"

"Clean Room but the AC only works when you’re in the room, therefore every time you leave and get back the room is warm. There’s no pool only the ocean water, certainly different but beautiful views all around. The beach areas have assigned lounges, this is ridiculous for paying guests to have to sit where they place you when there are plenty of other empty chaises! The hotel can use some TLC, feels dated except for the terrace area which is very nice for dining and enjoying appetitive. Lastly, only ran into 2 staff members who spoke English, challenging but we made it work. The area is excellent as it’s walkable and feels safe. Parking is provided by hotel. "

"Nice lodge (superior), air con was nice. Beds basic but fine, shower ok. Beach sunbeds were expensive (£260 for 4 sunbeds for 6 days) but nice enough beach and had to go there because the pool has some crazy ridiculous rule about wearing a silly rubber hat in the pool when it’s 33 degrees. They are not worried about all the children weeing in the pool but if a hair were to fall out! It’s obviously a ploy to divert people away from the pool area and onto the beach which you have to pay for so that is annoying, but all in all a nice basic campsite with ‘ok’ lodges. It is in the middle of nowhere though so once your in, your in! "

"Lovely stay! "
