Le Cale D'Otranto Beach Resort

Very Disappointing – Not Worth the Hype or the Price
I stayed at Le Cale D'Otranto Beach Resort expecting a relaxing vacation in beautiful Puglia, but the experience was extremely disappointing.

The food was by far the worst I’ve had in the region – poor quality, badly prepared, and tasteless. During the day, the buffet area turns into a sauna, with no air circulation and food just sitting out in the heat. Completely unappetizing.

Wi-Fi is a joke – it only works near the front desk, making it impossible to stay connected elsewhere. For people like me who work in 24/7 support, even on vacation, this was a major issue.

The rooms are incredibly small and dark – more like caves than hotel rooms. The only natural light comes through the door. The mattress feels like sleeping on a pile of wooden crates, and the safe in the room was rusted and useless (see pictures ).

Communication with staff was another challenge – almost no one speaks English, which made basic requests frustrating. That said, this was a minor issue compared to everything else.

To top it all off, beach amenities are overpriced: €40 for a basic umbrella and two chairs, and a ridiculous €60 if you want the first row.

Overall, this place is seriously overrated, overpriced, and under-delivers on every front. Definitely not the relaxing Puglia beach experience I was hoping for. Would not recommend.

this resort is the worst I have stayed. The installation is very old fashion, not well maintained. the bedroom is pretty small, no window..there is small patio that lights the room. Decorarionis also terrible. I felt I was lockes and under claustrophobic mood.c
additonally there is continuous and annoying music that plays all day in the swimming pool.At night thre is music as well..I felt I was at the disco. there is no empathy for people who wants really rest. The music only stops at 1 am.
the restaurant is big the food is average however you feel you are in a fish market due to noise.
I really don't recommend it at all.
it is not a resort

it is a nightmare.

Really nice place and the animation staff is excellent. Unfortunatelly after the bad experience of this years, won't be back in future. And I can't recommend this place to anyone who wish a relaxed holiday.
