Had higher expectations - but all in all was okay. The actually chalet was nice and clean and spacious even if only 20 square meters. Kids animation and staff was grand. Cars on premise are not allowed - but the train that was the only form of transportation around the resort only passed by every 20 to 30 minutes which was annoying. Food options very very expensive for not so good quality and variety. Had difficulty for my child to eat as gluten intolerant. Pools all close at lunch time - and so does the market - which is quite inconvenient. Overall at main pool not enough lounge chairs considering compacity and people. Often times we were on the floor and couldn’t fully enjoy the experience. Some staff members at the pools and main bar were quite rude which was dissapointing.

Lovely family stay in a well serviced resort. Choice of restaurants and pools were good. Staff helpful. The chalet could have had a few more basics as not even a cloth at the sink to use. Also, a few things were more expensive than you thought… mini golf expensive and the buffet is pricey so you have to be very hungry to get your moneys worth! The staff work hard and it’s a happy place to relax and enjoy the beach.

This property is beautiful, but it’s not for everyone. It’s basically a big camping site for families and kids. No privacy at all as people are next to you and can see your whole room (bedroom)if you open the curtains. I thought I was getting a hotel room at a beach resort but it’s just a camping site with bungalows. Not a HOTEL. Big mistake.

We stopped at Paradu to finish up an extended European holiday with our 3 and 5 year old boys. I highly recommend. So family friendly! Lots of activities for the kids. Great pool and beach. Kids Club was available down to age 3 - ours didn't love it, maybe a bit weirded out by the Italian language. Braver children probably would have been fine. There is a bracelet swipe system so you don't have to carry cash. The chalets are very small, but they do the job. In terms of food, the pizza restaurant was delicious. The a la carte was good as well, and nice for the kids to play on the beach while we finished a leisurely dinner. The buffet we ate at for lunch and dinner, and really weren't impressed. It was a buffet, I guess. Overall, a wonderful experience! The staff absolutely make Paradu what it is! Definitely go if you have little kids, especially if you've been doing more grown-up, adventurous travel.

Great low key place for families
Fam of 5 + nanny ended up here randomly because "in town" hotels were all booked. Rented a 3 bed cabana and it was a small but clean and great place for family. Positives - good rooms for the price, tons of families, off the beaten path, amazing beach, forest setting. Negatives - have to pay extra for pool and other facilities, food wasn't great but rooms have stoves and town are not far. We were the only Americans around and not a lot of English spoken, but enough to easily get by. We extended our stay and stayed for 2 nights to enjoy the awesome beach.

Room cleaning
Changing sheets and towels once a week and having to pay €40 extra for the privilege is entirely not good enough. We were paying circa €200 per chalet already. This was a poor show...

Better than others have said
Overall, very good. We are English and the evening entertainers -- who were very good - spoke only in Italian and German. Not happy that we had to pay 50 Euros for a cleaning of the Room at the end of our stay. No cleaning was done while we were there by the staff. Not fair that you have to pay per day per person to be part of the Club [when we did not even use it]. And to have to pay 20 Euros a day for a bed on the beach or by the pool is also not fair. That said, the earlier bad reviews are totally unjustified. The staff were very nice indeed. The entertainers and sports persons were very hard working.

Hallo Die Anlage selbst ist sehr schön auch die Natur ist klasse. Gastronomie ist ausreichend und die Preise gehen in Ordnung. Der Supermarkt ist sehr teuer und das Personal sehr unfreundlich. Der Bungalow war sauber und es hat alles funktioniert. Das Bad war sauber nur der Schimmel in der Dusche war nicht schön und die Sanitäranlagen gehören instandgesetzt Das wäre dringend notwendig.

esperienza molto positiva, villette belle e pulite, leggermente piccole, ma si vive di fuori. Personale estremamente gentile. da rivedere la zona degli scivoli, tutto molto provvisorio. Molto bello il mare. Divertente il trenino che passa ogni 15/20 minuti. taglia massima per famiglie, piu' grande risulta dispersivo.

Ein sehr schön gelegenes Resort in einem Pinienwald mit einem Top Strand. Leider trüben die Urlaubsfreude die extrem hohen Preise für alle Extras ( Einaml Minigolf mit der Familie 30€, Bumper Boot fahren 5€ für 3 min). DIe Essens- und Barpreise sind sehr hoch. Leider spricht das "internationale" Personal nur italienisch. Die Abendshow der "Schüleranimationstruppe" ( nicht ausgebildet) ist so schlecht und komplett unorganisiert und in keinster Weise unterhaltsam. Dennoch kann man hier schön vom Alltag entspannen, wenn man das nötige Kleingeld mitbringt.

Bellissima piscina a 50 mt. dal mare. Appartamento pulito e ordinato. Gentilezza e cortesia sono di casa, ti fanno sentire a casa di amici. Comodo il braccialetto elettronico per addebito spese.

Posizione eccellente, bella spiaggia
Aspetti positivi: posizione, tranquillità, spiaggia ampia e ben tenuta, buona varietà di offerta ristorativa e molto pratico il pagamento con braccialetto elettronico. Aspetti negativi: pulizia degli alloggi all'arrivo al limite dell'accettabile, ragnatele e polvere. Alloggio con angolo cottura ma senza spazio per mangiare all'interno in caso di cattivo tempo. Peccato perchè il villaggio nell'insieme è ben organizzato. Check-in indicato dalle 15 ma abbiamo dovuto aspettare fino alle 18 per avere il nostro chalet. Tutto sommato un soggiorno piacevole, ma potrebbero migliorare molto con piccolo sforzo.

Schönes Ressort, Chalets im Wald verteilt, Chalet ausgestattet mit kleiner Küche, grosse Terasse mit Liegestühle und Tisch. Auf dem Gelände hat es drei Hauptrestaurants, ein kleiner Minimarkt, Pools etc. Am Strand gibt es ein privaten Bereich (Preise für Liegen ab 35€ mit Reservation). Es gibt aber auch den öffentlichen Strand mit Liegen für 25€. Leider waren wir enttäuscht vom Check-in. Wir kamen um 17 Uhr an und unser Chalet war noch nich bereit. Wir mussten 1.5h warten. Das Ressort hat eine eigene App mit allen Infos und für die Reservation der Restaurants. Leider funktionierte diese App aber nicht einwandfrei.

Response from Paradù Customer Care on 13 Sept 2023
Dear Stefanie, we thank you for choosing to share your positive holiday experience at Paradù and for describing our village as beautiful. Regarding the notification about the check-in time, we explain the following, only for clarity and correctness of information. We would like to give all our guests the opportunity to make the most of their entire holiday, from the first day up to and including the last. This means that it is possible to access the village starting from late morning. We do not recommend arriving before 10.30am because our reception is busy managing check-outs. By doing so, guests have the opportunity to fully exploit the first day of their holiday in terms of services. We guarantee the delivery of the keys to the accommodation from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm. However, if the accommodation is ready before this time slot and the guest is already in the facility enjoying the beach, rather than one of our swimming pools, we contact them to deliver the accommodation to them. Inside the village we have many shared bathrooms, with showers and changing rooms and changing tables. As for the day of departure, the same principle applies as for the day of arrival. That is, we ask that the keys be returned by 10:00 am but it is then possible to remain inside the village to enjoy the services for the entire duration of the day. Every season we try to optimize our services and their quality, for example our App is implemented every year and therefore we are sorry that you did not appreciate how it works. We hope to be able to host you and your family again.

Lage und Aufmachung der Anlage ist ein Traum. Ruhig, idyllisch, direkt am Meer! Wir waren für 10 Nächte in einem Lodge Tent untergebracht. Grundsätzlich sind die Zelte wirklich super. Auch die Einrichtung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Krabbeltiere haben allerdings Zugang :) Sauberkeit/Zustand: Armaturen / Fugen im Bad mit Wasser- und Stockflecken. Der Holzboden des Zelts hing teilweise extrem durch, was durch einfaches nachstellen der Stützen im Vorfeld hätte beseitigt werden können. Essen: Supermarkt Pizza und Grill Poolbar A la carte Restaurants sind erst ab 1.6. geöffnet gewesen. Buffet scheint relativ teuer. Zwischen 14 und 32€ für Erwachsene ab 12 J. und 9 und 18€ für Kinder ab 2. Personal: Das Personal ist leider wenig zuvorkommend. Steht man 2m zu weit links an der Bar wird man nicht bedient. Man muss auf den Wegen immer Platz machen, was umgekehrt wünschenswert wäre. Hierbei ist noch speziell zu erwähnen, dass die im Grunde autofreie Anlage vom Personal in Höchstgeschwindigkeit mit den Fahrzeugen (Müll, Versorgung…) befahren wird. Wir hatten immer ein schlechtes Gefühl, wenn die Kinder alleine unterwegs waren. Es gibt natürlich sehr positive Ausnahmen beim Personal!! Preise: Wir haben im Vorfeld gelesen, das vieles teuer ist. Mag wie oben erwähnt auf das Buffet zutreffen. Pizza, Supermarkt und Poolbar aber total ok 👍 Alles in allem waren wir trotzdem ganz gerne hier. Wenn möglich hätten wir 3,5 von 5 vergeben.

Hi Stefan, how nice to know that you consider our village an idyllic place! We are happy that you enjoyed our Lodge Tent!Being a very large village we try to optimize our services as best as possible and therefore all activities within the village are usually guaranteed starting from 2nd June when it is a national holiday in Italy.During the weeks before your stay the weather did not help and many maintenance works, including on the accommodation, were postponed due to bad weather. However, we always try to optimize the quality of our accommodations to make our guests' stay as comfortable as possible, therefore, we are sorry that you have found some problems within your accommodation and we assure you that we usually intervene to fix them. What you reported to us was reported to our colleagues who drive the golf cars, so that knowing your opinion, in addition to the recommendations of the Management, they would be encouraged to drive more slowly and with more care: safety in our village must ever be present! Please know that your opinion, like those of all our guests, is very important to us and an opportunity for growth and improvement. So thank you for your notes and suggestions and we hope to welcome you back to Paradù soon!

Die Chalets sind toll: sauber, modern und gut ausgestattet mit ausreichend Stauraum und einer großen überdachten Terrasse. Man muss ein bisschen Glück mit der Lage haben, denn die schöne Anlage ist in einem Pinienwald und sehr weitläufig, da können die Wege schon lang werden. Wir hatten Glück und eine sehr gute zentrale Lage, nicht zu weit weg vom Restaurant oder von der Poolanlage/Strand. Und auch nicht direkt am Hauptverkehrsweg, denn da fährt ständig mit relativ lautem Gerumpel der Shuttle-Zug. Was gut ist, dass man die Verpflegung täglich frei wählen kann, da kann man flexibel auch mal auswärts essen gehen oder sich ggf. im Chalet selbst versorgen. Denn ganz günstig ist das Essen nicht (Frühstück 12€, Abendbuffet 29€ pro Person), aber vom Preis-Leistungsverhältnis dann doch ganz ok. Qualität sehr gut und reichlich Abwechslung und Auswahl. Was sehr teuer ist, sind die Bierpreise (5,50€ für 0,4l), da kostet das Bier ja auf dem Oktoberfest weniger! Was ebenfalls total überteuert ist, sind die Tagespreise für Liegen & Sonnenschirm am Strand. Am besten selbst Schirm und Liegemöglichkeit mitbringen oder kaufen und den kostenlosen freien Standbereich nutzen. Im Ort Donoratico gibt es einen schönen großen Supermarkt, da kann man alles nötige (Getränke) kaufen.

Un bel villaggio.
Un posto molto bello immerso nella natura ed il mare a pochi passi. Nei Bungalows metterei delle tende totalmente oscuranti nelle camere da letto. Il trenino che gura nel villaggio è molto utile per spostarsi da un lato all'altro del villaggio in quanto molto grande, però è rumoroso al suo passaggio, quindi risulta di disturbo nelle ore del riposo, mattina presto (inizia il giro alle 7:30) e nel primo pomeriggio (nel caso si volesse riposare). Inizierei più tardi alla mattina e sospenderei per un paio d'ore nel primo pomeriggio. Il personale davvero molto disponibile e gentile. I bungalows belli, confortevoli e moderni. Vengono forniti solo lenzuola ed asciugamani all'arrivo (noi abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti).
