Spiaggia libera Alassio

The beach has a fantastic location and a sandy shoreline, but parking can be challenging due to the main road. When compared to other beach clubs in the area, the food and drinks are quite expensive. The quality of the food is average, and they often run out of the first choice. The service, in general, is poor, with staff appearing arrogant and uninterested, except for the lady at the reception who was exceptionally helpful. However, they do provide complimentary fruit and ice cream on the beach, which is a nice touch. The place is in need of some maintenance.

We were quite disappointed with our experience at the beach. We paid around 90-95€ for a sunbed, which seemed reasonable considering the nice sandy beach and shallow water. We were even given enough space for ourselves and our dogs, with a sunbed specifically for them. However, upon arrival, we realized that parking was not included and cost an additional 20€. Unfortunately, there were no available free spaces, making it quite inconvenient. Moreover, the beach felt deserted and all the food and drinks were significantly more expensive than usual. Luckily, we managed to find a side street with free parking, but it's not something you should count on as we were fortunate. The free beach, which was just two meters away, is a better option. You can bring your own chair and umbrella, and it's definitely worth it. Additionally, there seemed to be a large staff of 8-15 people, but they consistently forgot about us whenever we went out to walk our dogs. When we returned to our chairs, they treated us as if we were burglars, even though there were only 4-5 other dog owners. It's not too much to ask to be remembered or at least not be treated like burglars. They would chase after us, despite us already informing two people that we had booked and had our belongings on the beach chairs. Overall, the atmosphere was snobby, everything was overpriced, and the experience was unpleasant. I would not recommend it.

It was a great experience, although it was a bit challenging to get there.

The beach is really nice and the location is quite unique for the area. The staff working there are doing a good job and the service during the day, like ordering through the app from the umbrella spot and the homemade ice creams they offer, made us feel very comfortable. However, currently, the organization is still lacking and parking can be difficult and chaotic, especially in the evening. You have to wait in line for a spot and eventually they will find a solution by squeezing cars in front. During the day, you can park for 10 euros, which is a bit expensive but there are no other options. Booking online doesn't always work and while the appetizers are quite good, dinner is a bit overpriced for the quality, which is average, but you pay for the location. Anyway, we had a good time so it's worth checking it out, especially if you go by scooter and not for dinner.

The beach has a great location, with excellent service at the restaurant and good food. However, there is room for improvement in the beach bed services overall. Considering the high prices, one would expect a higher quality of service. We requested someone to bring us drinks, but we're still waiting even now. 🤣⏳
