Impeccable Service: Our Every Need Met

At Hotel Poseidon, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest’s needs are met. From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted with warm smiles and a willingness to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Whether you need recommendations for local restaurants or help arranging transportation, the concierge is always available to assist you. Housekeeping keeps your room spotless and well-stocked.

For example, upon check-in we were told if our mattress was uncomfortable, they would be happy to switch it out with another. I also made them aware that we were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary when I booked with them. They then gifted us a bottle of Prosecco and treated us like royalty on the bar terrace as we watched the sunset.

Luxurious Amenities at Hotel Poseidon

With such outstanding service, guests at Hotel Poseidon are pampered from the moment they arrive until the moment they depart. But, the hotel’s luxurious amenities take the indulgence to the next level. Each room is equipped with plush bedding, fluffy towels, and high-end bath products for a truly spa-like experience. And if you want to take relaxation to another level, the hotel’s on-site spa offers a variety of treatments, all carried out by professional therapists in a tranquil environment.

Feeling adventurous? There’s a vintage beetle bug that is available to drive at no charge for guests. Unfortunately it is a popular commadity. So be sure to request the car when you check in. It’s also important to note that the vehicle is stick shift. Sadly, we didn’t even see the vintage car during our stay as we were away from the hotel most days.

In addition, the hotel’s rooftop pool is an excellent spot to bask in the sun and unwind. With all of these amenities at your fingertips, it’s easy to see why Hotel Poseidon is an ideal location for those seeking a luxurious and stress-free getaway.

At Hotel Poseidon, dining is an experience that goes beyond just satisfying your hunger. From breakfast to dinner, the hotel’s restaurants and bars offer a range of delicious options that cater to all tastes and preferences.

Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast each morning that includes croissants, pastries, pancakes, eggs, and more. You can also read the Poseidon Times as you eat your breakfast, which is a daily newsletter printed out by Hotel Poseidon. I certainly enjoyed starting every morning with a cappuccino and being greeted with smiles from the staff. I must say it was also always so peaceful at morning time.

The hotel’s main restaurant, Il Tridente, serves up traditional Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. The menu is created with locally sourced ingredients and changes regularly to reflect the seasonality of the produce. The restaurant’s terrace overlooks the sea and is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. Reservations are required to dine at Il Tridente.

      The great thing about it, too, was that we didn’t have to pay anything up front. While they do have cancellation fees within a certain time frame, it definitely gave us peace of mind booking that far in advance, as you never know if something could come up that interferes with your planned trip.
