Hotel Royal Ariston

Overview

The rocky cove of Plaza Neptun is right on your doorstep at this hotel, and while it might not be the sandiest bit of coast we've ever seen, it's got the sea views down to a T. It's a rocky cliff edge topped with sun loungers, and there are steps leading down into the water if you fancy a dip. If that's not your vibe then don't worry, there's still a regular pool to dunk into, plus a spa for the ultimate pamper sesh, and a sea-view restaurant which we recommend at night. Can't beat fresh scampi and a sunset.
