Riva Del Fuenti - Vietri sul mare

From arrival this morning, welcoming and professional valet to equally professional and welcoming reception After that, except for the fantastic 10/10 lunch, everything went downhill. Arrived at the beach perhaps a little too early than what the staff is used to everything was slow from the welcome drink to the request for an order for breakfast to the request for the table to be cleaned after breakfast. Maybe because we are out of season but unfortunately my prices were not Mykonos, Ibiza, Barcelona, Caribbean Seashell, Saint Barths Miami just a couple of places) but never got to these prices Barbie umbrella and two dirty and undisinfected sunbeds €125 22 taxes! In the middle of the day we go for lunch and we were received by Vladi manager) who was not very pleasant and not very welcoming After ordering and receiving our dishes including dessert I took the liberty of asking for a bitter followed by 2 cocktails to take to the beach Then I ask for the bill and I realize that it also included the bitters Now I'll start by saying that the price of the beloved ones didn't scare me but since they offered me the amaro even in the poorest of restaurants I assumed it was for granted after having spent the day on a beach club that was absolutely not up to those prices or the service, and especially after spending €350 for the whole day! the least he could do was offer a couple of bitters as a welcoming and professional gesture! Which annoyed me and I confronted this vladi, telling him that having traveled around the world enough and certainly more than him given that I am 51 years old, the thing to do was to offer the bitters but he rudely and exuberantly replies to me that precisely for that I should understand how to behave, instead of simply apologizing and adhering to my little request, which he did only after I meticulously reiterated to him how a manager should behave, for all this at the end of my day I refused to leave another cent to the staff because of him! One because the place is not up to those prices two the aesthetics is poor and dirty full of midges and sand insects that kept biting me during the morning perhaps because it is not disinfected properly) and thirdly the service is non-existent! At the end of the day at the exit we were confronted by a grumpy and racist valet asking sorry sorry so insistently as if to say what are you doing here, at which point I lost all my civility and went back downstairs to ask for the manager's help only to then discover it was the same Vladi I had confronted at lunch which I understood was already a waste of time, and despite what happened about what happened, he immediately defends the person by saying innocently that the rude person in the parking lot has been with us for many years and it is impossible that he would have done something like that, as if it were impossible that in Italy there were racist or, above all, unintelligent homophobes not to say the most appropriate word)? And while I was talking to this Vladi, another of the unintelligent stuff at the front desk whose name I don't remember intervened, and I asked him if he knew what it meant to be a person of African American descent? And he answers, and I'm not kidding! Yes, I know, I tan so much that I know what it means, I have never heard such a racist statement, after this long explanation I want to simply conclude that apart from the fantastic lunch the place is obscene, dirty and racist, and I would not recommend it never to anyone because even if just to eat you would always have to deal with vladi ‍

We discovered this place by chance and loved it. We were there on a Saturday without a reservation and paid €125 for two loungers, a parasol, beach towels and a scooter parking space. It was worth it to us! The loungers were clean, the service was attentive, the atmosphere was TOP! We were greeted with a refreshing drink and a small portion of fruit. Food: 5
