Hôtel & Lodges Moby Dick

Location, location , location! The spot is unique - in front of one of the most beautiful beaches in South Corsica. The staff are all very kind and helpful. From the reception staff to the waiter and cleaners.

On arrival it’s quite difficult to find the reception and therefore to get any help with the luggages. The breakfast is very good- with only some minor additions such as having a plate of cut vegetables (cucumbers and tomatoes or salad ) or better labelling of some of the foods (cereals , grains..,) it could be excellent! In the Moby Dick parking it would be nice if there were some trees to shield the cars from the sun and heat (just a suggestion :)

The biggest highlight of this hotel is its location, right on Santa Giulia Beach. You can have breakfast or dinner and be on the sand in just a few steps. Watching the sunrise here is beautiful and the complimentary sun loungers are in one of the best spots on the beach. The bay gets busy during the day, but the area in front of the hotel is much quieter than the public sections nearby. The rooms were clean and serviced every day unless you choose the eco-friendly option. The restaurant was good, and the half-board dinner included a choice of two options for each course, with a different menu every day. You’re mainly paying for the amazing location, but free parking is included, which is a real plus since the public car park behind the hotel costs €20 per day. The sea is calm, crystal clear and perfect for swimming.

The staff was not always helpful. Apart from a few exceptions, English was not widely spoken and there was not much effort to understand what we needed, so be prepared to be “patient”. Beach towels are included, but you have to find them yourself and return them to the exact spot where you found them. Otherwise, you risk being charged €70 per towel. Getting to the hotel is not particularly easy, especially with luggage, as there is no proper ramp (or proper “support”). Parking is included, but the parking area is not reserved for hotel guests, so if you leave at the wrong time, you may not find a space when you return. Breakfast was also a bit challenging because there were a lot of bees around the buffet and tables. They are harmless and it is actually nice to see nature so close, but it doesn’t make for the most relaxing breakfast. You need to ask the staff for smoke or repellent to be able to eat in peace.

Wonderful hotel. Our room was spotless & cleaned ever day. Luxury toiletries & dressing gowns in the room. Fresh free water available throughout our stay. Stunning beach, beach bar & restaurants. Free sunbeds and beach towels. Never a problem getting a sunbed either - plenty available for the hotel guests! Staff were very friendly too. Can’t wait to return.
