Overview

The CDSHotels Pietrablu Resort & SPA is a beautiful resort with lovely grounds, crystal-clear pools, and a clean beach area (although rocky). Families will appreciate the resort's all-inclusive basis, delicious food, and kind staff, who are praised for making guests feel welcome. While some reviewers noted the hotel caters to larger tour groups and the breakfast can get busy, many highlighted the kids' activities, including a kids' dance and DJ, as a major plus.

It was perfect for families had a lot of activity for kids . It was cute kids dance with adults until 12 am. Had Dj . People to entertain the kids. If you would like a Authentic Italian resort experience . The only thing I didn’t like was to make reservations for the two. Restaurants that was always filled but if you manage to get up early that should be ok all together we had a great time .

The area was more than amazing however the resort was a little disappointing. I booked this place mainly to suit my 18month toddler butt there were absolutely nothing for her to do there. The one pool which was open was freezing cold and although the restaurant service was nice and staff were great there was no catering for kids. The food was acceptable but very repeatative.

Totally overpriced for what it is. Not to the usual 4 say standard. Rooms need updating & beds are AWEFUL, rock hard!! Caters hugely to German/French/Italian clients, sometimes some of the staff appeared offended when we spoke to them in English. Very good for young families & the very mature, not a couples resort. Although reception staff & some bar staff spoke English, if you struggle with the Latin language, you may struggle at times with communication. All inclusive is still restricted to set times for meals & snacks. Buffet was hit & miss. Would've expected food to be more authentically Italian but only experienced that on some days. A great asset to the resort is the frequent shuttle into Polignano, fab to get into the main town to do things as nothing around hotel. Their driver Yari is fab, gave us great tips & information. If you want to do sightseeing excursions, unless there is a min. of 4, you can't go, we missed out on the caves & we ended up sorting our own tours. It's beach is not really a beach, to get into the sea you have to obstacle over rocks & sharp stones, did not bother in the end which is a shame as that's the whole reason we chose this hotel. Would advise booking a taxi from the airport to the resort as no other way to get there the nearest station is in the main town - Bari Airport Transfer were really good & reasonable. The resort did grow on us daily, we made the most of our stay & over all did enjoy ourselves but just felt we over payed for it all

This is truly a wonderful resort. Mom and I spent 12 days at Pietrablu last year and returned this year for the last week of our trip to Italy. The grounds are lovely and well manicured, pool crystal clear, beach area clean (although rocky as is most of the coast here), the staff could not be more accommodating, warm and welcoming -- they make us feel like family! Thank you Pietrablu for another unforgettable vacation experience!

Hotel seems to cater for large tour groups on buses so breakfast tended to be very busy. The other guests were largely 60+ age group so not a family focused hotel. Location was a short drive to the town for dinner. Hotel seems well Maintained even if the rooms are a little dated it appears to be well looked after.

Good value for price. Beach (with rocks) few minutes walking, many pools; however the biggest were not open yet in May. Great Spa, staff very friendly. They had also a corner for baby food which was well organised. To improve: food quality (not always very good); warm pool would be great when the weather is not good enough for the beach or external pool; families with buggies should not have room to access by stairs.
