Cala San Giovanni

If you are just looking for an umbrella and a sunbed at a nice beach, this is the place for you.. it was a nice location both on the cliffs and on the beach. The food wasn’t fabulous. The towels were 5€ each and were Turkish towels that shed. We had a day before flying in the evening so thought we would spend a day at a beach club then shower. This wasn’t quite possible.

Excellent beach club. Ended up here since my boat tour to the polignano caves was cancelled due to wind. The club was welcoming, pristine white chairs and umbrellas, delicious lunch service overlooking the sea with nice staff. Lovely cove to swim in.

Calm, organized. Very small parasol. Not enough shadow for the money you pay. I would recommended more another beaches. More space and better price.

Really cute place… well kept sandy beach, really great place for kids and families… wish I had known that before heading there for a girls trip… The table service at the beach was non existent. Also, considering the price we paid for the chairs we thought they’d throw in a towel service…. Yeah… no… we were a bit surprised but at least we were able to get some towels there.

I’ll try to be constructive as I see the admin is always replying not accepting any type of suggestions. We love going to private beaches but this one should learn from the others that keep the minimum quality of services. Weak points to improve: Note that if the beach is not crowded enough they’ll close the restaurant so don’t plan to have lunch there. If you don’t have a seasonal pass (we did until this last year) always ask to have a proper siting as otherwise you won’t have any sight of the sea. Also, although the staff mainly had quite an unprofessional behaviour, we are pretty sure that they are really willing to improve and thus they’ll respect this review to achieve the minimum requirements to be called a private beach. Strong points: we didn’t see any phone stealing, which seems to be an improvement from previous comments here. I’m not saying that other times some phones/personal belonging can be stolen. Also, we didn’t see any staff cleaning so we can’t assure they do the cleaning in a wrong way (whenever they show up we’ll know, in the meantime it will remain quite dirty). Thanks for your time and really look for other options!!!
