I am a local and felt it necessary to comment regarding the 'rottweiler' comment. I know this lady very well, she is well known, well liked and very well respected within the village. As we know there are 2 sides to every story, and there has been an exagerration of the events that actually took place. Delfino is a 4 star hotel which we all know. The owner does not want anyone using the hotel as a shortcut to the beach. There are plenty of other ways to access the beach. The lady in question relayed this to the people concerned. If people want to take a look around the hotel, the receptionist is happy to do this and will show you one of the rooms, but only if that room has no guests. It's not possible to take a look inside a room that is occupied for security reasons. The restaurant and bar are open to non-residents at night, Mango Bar is open all day for non-residents. The pool and pool bar, as well as the sunbeds are for residents only. I don't see what the fuss is about that you are not made welcome, there are many, many pools within San Stef that you can go and spend the day. The owner 'reserves the right to refuse admission ......' exactly the same policy as you have in the UK. What did the 'rottweiler' do to 'chase you off the premises?' Snap at your legs? I don't think you should be advising people not to stay at this hotel, as you have never actually stayed there. Anyone reading the comments should take them with a pinch of salt. If the Receptionist was rude, she wouldn't stay long in the job. This is her 5th year there. All the staff at Delfino are polite and professional, as one would expect from a 4 star hotel. I think the 'rottweiler' comment is totally inappropriate. How would you feel if someone posted comments on the internet about you, for the world to see, when you are trying to do your job?
