As everyone has said, this hotel is the only one with a private beach in Santa Margherita Ligure, and has a lovely sea-water swimming pool as well. We didn't use these as the weather was too cool. But the view from this hotel is amazing, of the whole harbour of SML curving around. We had an excellent room with sea... More

The hotel location is the best in the town. It is the only one hotel with the private beach in S-Margherita. The second "plus" is the swimmig pool with sea water. The hotel has the garrage . But the standart double room was very small for the familly ( 2 adult+ 7year-old child) aprox. 15 sq.m. including the toilette and... More

The hotel room was spacious and light, the air-conditioning worked well, the large buffet breakfast was amazing and the dining room overlooked the sea and the pool area which was simply glorious. Big fluffy beach towels provided that are lovely and soft. The only very slight flaw in an otherwise perfect stay was that the best located sun-loungers were reserved... More

We just finished a 5 night stay at Hotel Helios and our experience was incredible. We have stayed in different hotels around the world, but always prefer to stay someplace with more local character rather than a large sterile chain type hotel. The personalized service we received from the hotel couldn't be beat. The Helios is in a perfect location... More

We spent the first night in Santa Margherita at another hotel, but decided to go for Helios after a night walk along the beach which included a restaurant stop at Helios. The food was delicious, and the location was super - you can just dive into the Mediterranean from the hotel sun beds, or enjoy their outdoor swimming pool. We... More

An excellent hotel with receptionists who really wanted to help. Our room on the second floor was delightful and although the bathroom could have been larger it didn't spoil our enjoyment overall. We were quite happy with our sunbeds by the pool, but could understand the few reviewers who were disappointed not being able to get the beds near the... More

We really enjoyed a few days at this hotel. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and it has a comfortable family type ambience. Food excellent, from breakfast to lunch to dinner at seafood restaurant. Comfortable and would go back any time.

The hotel location is the best of the bunch, Only hotel that fronts the beach with views of the bay. Certainly 4star + rating. 2nd floor rooms are spacious and nicely decorated having balcony including table/chairs with fab viewpoint. 1st floor rooms have spacious terrace with loungers + table/chairs. The reception and lounge bar are well presented and the grounds... More

Fantastic location in a great little town. Absolute waterfront with a pool, very classy little hotel. Monica was fantastic helping us with our rental car company, by calling them on our behalf to arrange a pick up. We arrived after a stressful 3 hour drive and without asking Monica sent us two glasses of prosecco to our room, all class.... More
