My daughter and I stayed for two nights at the Hotel Cormoran which is in the very touristy part of Cattolica where thousands of hotel umbrellas adorn the beach. Our rooms were comfortable and provided a good sleep except when talking and family noises could be heard through the thin walls. My door had a problem with jamming which meant it needed to be forced or kicked open which was a noisy process.

The hotel had free WiFi and also free overnight car parking. Breakfast would best be described as “continental”. Our evening meals were self service buffet but a main course was delivered by waiting staff who managed to ignore serving me a main course on both nights. I wasn’t sure whether it was deliberate, of if they were just unable to develop a system to serve everybody, but it did force me to speak out and demand a main course on the second night after they walked away when I’d requested the same service as people seated around me.

We stayed at Cormoran Hotel for 3 nights in mid-June, they were able to arrange our stay so our family would have 2 rooms on the same floor right next to each other - sharing the sea view terrace. It is right next to the Acquarium, in quiet end of the street about 15’ slow walk from the very city center but is connected by little private train or public transport for few euros. Premises are recent, tidy and well maintained. We enjoyed to wake up and have breakfast at the fresh air of the pool area. Pools are clean and well maintained. One day the sea was filled with seaweed so we preferred to stay at the pool and did not miss the sea at all:) The sea is 3’ walk from reception, beach clean and being cleaned every morning, decent bar. We were pleasantly surprised by the richness of the sea life, we would spend hours fishing for little crabs, counting the seashells and exploring the little Laguna which is perfect for kids as is being protected from big waves. The service was excellent, with attention to little details, Mrs. Loredana makes real difference. The hotel is very family friendly, they would allow us to have breakfast as soon the kitchen was open ( our toddler wakes up fairly early), the staff would also remember to serve the meal ordered for dinner/lunch first to the kid so parents could enjoy the dinner with no ansia. We had all inclusive formula - excluded on beach and found it perfectly fitting our needs, the food was always tasty, fresh and perfectly cooked. A lot of variety of fish, seafood and hand made fresh pasta, local vine was appreciate as well. We will come back for more :)
