Poiano Garda Resort Hotel

A beautiful resort located with a great view (on the lower part of a hill) and not far from many of the main attractions. The rooms are in several buildings around the area so you need to walk up/down hill or use your car (parking places are limited in some areas).

Great hotel, excellent pool. Great for kids. Amazing breakfast

This is our first time travelling to Garda and I have no idea which hotel to choose. I just randomly chose a hotel, (Poiano Resort), looks great and above average price range. When I arrived I didn't realise the hotel is slightly further from the town centre than I expected. At first, I thought it would be quite inconvenient. Later in the holiday, I actually glad I picked Poiano because - Hotel rooms have plenty of space (We booked a double lake view room & an extra bed for our overgrown child). The room can easily fit another two extra beds. - Nice view sitting at the balcony. - We hired a car to tour around Garda. Poiano is one of the very few hotels in Garda offered that many parking spaces, no need to worry about parking fine which is quite a problem in Garda. - Lots of facilities and activities for kids. They have 4 clay courts, 1 five-a-side football pitch, huge swimming pool, table tennis, archery. I never seen a kid is bored, they all get on playing footballs. Great atmosphere. - Shuttle service is fine. Wait around 10 - 15 mins at most but the trade off is bigger room, quieter and nicer sceneries. Looking at what other hotels offered in Garda, I will stick with Poiano when I come back next time. The buildings may be slightly outdated to some guests but I think it is very outdated and it is maintained well.

awesome pool and breakfast and view. rooms slightly outdated but clean and nice. lots of families.

We booked an apartment and ended up a bit to far away from the hotel and with no view at all. So very disappointed. The room was also very old style. Not at all what we was hoping for considering the price. The breakfast was the only good thing.

breakfast options minimal and average in taste. robotic staff at breakfast. male staff mostly unwelcoming and unhelpful. particularly bar staff who make you wait long for no reason and then are rude when you have a request nothing much to do apart from swim, football and tennis. hugely overpriced for an average room. games room arcades are 20 years old pool bar food is very expensive and sub quality unremarkable hotel and experience. worst atmosphere I have encountered on a holiday would not go back even if free.

In general it’s nice hotel only needs to increase staff at the reception especially during summer holidays

Deceptive billing & advertising. Advertises breakfast & dinner as included in room rate, but really charges dinner as hidden fee under "tax recovery charges and service fees," lumped in but not broken out with VAT tax. Learned this at checkout after hotels.com ensured us fees were mandatory when booking. Not fair IMO. Would not have booked dinner at 50EUR a night there had I known. We paid for 4 nights for a dinner we didn't eat and thought we were paying high Italian taxes. Learning experience. Hotel itself: Plus: - on steep hill, good physical exercise (174 steps) from breakfast to room. - nice soccer field, nice pool. Minus: - pool rules: 3 days floaties ok (we bought one for our child), day 4 & 5 not. Disappointing. - dinner rules. The 1 night we ate their dinner, didn't allow friends to join us ("we're fully booked" - a third was empty). Dinner not recommended, better quality & more for same price in town (ca 3km). - room: no tissues in bathroom, no wash clothes. Room service doesn't come if you leave 2nd key in slot so that electronics can charge. Overall, seemed a bit regimented.

Nice location, great wiew. Very polite and helpfull staff. Perfect big pool. Nice, clean and big room (junior suite), but are friends ware not satisfied with their dated room (apartment). Big parking places. Resort is big and is all up and down, with many stairs, so it is not good choice for old people or very small kids. Breakfast is good, but always the same, dinner is very bad, pasta is eatable but second dish not so. Bar is opening at 10,00h, so you need to wait for coffee if you like espresso like me. Good tennis courts (12 eur/hour). We didn't see fitness because of the strange opening hours. I'm not sure if animation staf knows meaning of word animation and this is too bad because everything else is perfect for kids.

This is amazing place in the middle of the green and view to Garda lake. I took an apartment with hotel services. The apartment is fully equipped with kitchen, dishes, oven, fridge and microwave. The apartment has 4 rooms – living room and 3 bad rooms. The location of the hotel is amazing and the food on the hotel restaurant is delicious. Very recommended. The only thing that I didn't like is that the hotel give only two devices internet Wi Fi.
