Torre Cintola Greenblu Sea Emotions

Torre Cintola is a beautiful resort by the sea near Monopoli. The location is fantastic, with amazing views of the Adriatic and easy access to both rocky and sandy beaches. The dome-shaped rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, always making you feel welcome. The food is excellent, offering plenty of choice and delicious local specialties. The pools and outdoor areas are well maintained, perfect for relaxing. Overall, it’s a great place for both couples and families, combining comfort, good service, and the unique charm of Puglia. Highly recommended!

Great service, food & super clean! Had a really great stay at this hotel. The reception team was super friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived — check-in was quick and they made me feel really welcome. The whole place is spotless. You can tell they really care about cleanliness, which made the stay extra comfortable. My room was cleaned every day and always looked perfect. The food was also a big plus! I tried both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and everything was fresh, tasty, and nicely presented. Great variety too. Honestly, a lovely experience overall. Hope to come back!

Hotel was clean and tidy, in a good location and well laid out. Breakfast was very poor, 15 minute queue for coffee, selection of food very disappointing. Because of this we chose not to eat in hotel restaurant in the evenings. Reception staff very helpful especially Deborah and one young lady, who is studying law. Other than them I found many of the staff to be rude and should not be working with the public. Especially one young man in the restaurant, it seemed like hard work just to serve your scrambled egg! The male receptionist/concierge was particularly rude, and on one occasion drove a buggy into my friend, no apology, and when questioned later denied it and argued back. Will not be going back to this hotel.

Firstly, the staff are great across the whole complex. Enza & Francesco in the restaurant, Vito, Deborha on reception to name a few. The hotel is very clean with a nice vibe. Dome shaped rooms are comfortable, well maintained and cleaned daily. The inclusive food offering at breakfast and dinner is good and there is plenty of variety. Unusually you must queue for a hot beverage at breakfast, but it’s efficient and if I’m going to have my coffee made for me, I want it to be made by an Italian barista! There is a good mix of nationalities both younger and older. It’s also a good base for exploring Puglia. What you need to know…correct at time of typing… You must wear a bathing cap, free from reception, in both the freshwater and seawater pool. The seawater pool is sometimes used for activities and there is always music playing, so if you don’t like noise, use the other pool. You can still use the pool when the activities are taking place as it’s huge. You will be given cards to exchange for beach towels when you visit the pools. If you want something, for example a toastie at 3.30pm, just ask. Housekeeping could be completed at any time during the day. It’s a big complex! Your room key is used as your ‘money’ for any sundries like drinks, paying the total at the end of your stay - add a credit card at check in. There is a tourist tax and hotel services charge which you pay at the beginning of your stay. Ours was 20 something Euros per day, which adds a bit to your bill, so beware. The rooms are not soundproof but they are insulated enough. Take ear plugs if you’re concerned. They have regular functions around the seawater pool. They end around midnight, so once again, if you are an early/light sleeper, take ear plugs. We took a laidback attitude towards all of this, after all, we were on holiday. By doing this you’ll enjoy the experience more. Suggested adjustments… Absorb the service charge into the cost of the holiday. It’s a bit of a shock for guests to have to pay more on arrival. Note this is separate to the tourist tax. Drop the swim hat rule. Half the guests weren’t wearing them anyway! More choice of desserts in the evening would be nice. Overall though, we had a nice holiday and I would recommend staying here. Thank you.
