Hotel Antares Sport Beauty & Wellness

To be clear about context, we visited with a 40 plus strong music group from the UK, on a tour of the Lake Garda/Verona area. This was our second time at the hotel and it served our purposes very well. Reception were super helpful and pleasant, and the buffet style food meant there was something of good quality for everyone, and allergies and dietry requirements were taken care off. The pool and sports areas are great, and our students enjoyed using them, as much as they enjoyed chilling out and playing cards of a morning/evening. The rooms are great. Yes, there are problems with some, e.g. a shower that needed a bit of imagination to get it working or a leak from the room above, that was swiftly dealt with by the staff. but the AC worked very well, and the beds were comfortable, and rooms were cleaned daily. We left our rooms as we found them, and the staff were happy to return our full deposit, no problem. The biggest issue we had was with other groups disrespecting the hotel rules, which are very clear, in particularly a group called Academica Brittanica, who seemed to let their kids make as much noise as they liked when going to their rooms in the hours of midnight to 1am. But overall a great stay, and we experienced nothing of the negative reviews found here. Would thoroughly recommend for school groups.

This place is a terrible trap. If you have a booking and are able to cancel, please do ASAP. What you see is definitely not what you get. The room was so dam hot, that even when the obviously non functioning air conditioner was on for hours, we could not make it go under 27C. The WC kept leaking all night long, and even after asking for maintenance nobody came. The pillows where terribly flat and old, the phone to call the front desk did not work, the pool was empty and the “spa” it’s not included in what you pay and also has a minimum number of people to be activated (at additional payment per person). The restaurant serves only buffet so you have no lighter options for dinner or lunch… the room was old and damaged, there wasn’t even the toilet paper holding in place… apparently they do a lot of sport events with kids, I don’t ever want my kids there! The windows of the hotel even in higher floors still open wider enough for a 10 year old to fit in!!!. A complete disaster, waste of money, time and illusions of rest. DO NOT GO THERE. The only redeemable thing was the girl at the bar, her service was warm and close. And also the man from the front desk that tried his best… but is difficult to support bad infrastructure with kindness.

After entering the hotel my expectations were pretty high and after a couple of hours there i can confidently say they exceeded the expectations.Upon leaving the restaurant after dinner i was greeted by a very polite looking fat bald man with a mustache.He was the receptionist .He told me that he needed to do a very thorough search on me in case i was bringing anything illegal into the hotel.For some reason he first took me into a very dark room.At first this search seemed kind of strange since i have never heard about something like it but i just went along with it since i had nothing to hide.As he said beforehand he was very thorough.Altough i thought it was strange when he started grunting while searching around my groin area,which was the part he was the most thorough with,but he convinced me it was all part of the procedure.He was touching me for about 2 hours and kept making weird sounds the entire time.After it was over i just went back to my room.I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the course of my life.But i never had such an experience,where the hotel stuff were this much worried about the security.So if you are concerned about being safe this is for sure the place to go.All of the workers there were very polite.The waiter constantly reffered to my black friends as "negri sporchi" which i was told was a sign of respect.Overall i would recommend this hotel to everyone,the rooms were ok and the food was great,but the best part was thath everyone working in the hotel was very pleasant,handsome and VERY serious about their job.

Don't be fooled by the 4 star rating on the front of the building. This was one of the worst experiences I've had in a hotel. I love going to Italy so I was really excited to go. I went here with my performing high school friends, ready to sing, dance, act and have fun. As soon as we arrived from our very long journey, we waited 45 mins for us to be addressed to our rooms in the scorching heat. When we got to our rooms, we were shocked. The floor was dirty, same as the walls, it was quite crowded and there were flies everywhere. The air conditioning wouldn't work because of the cheapskates that are the staff. There was poor quality of soap and hygiene, and no towels to wipe your hands. The windows were broken and there were broken lamps. But the thing that finished me off was the shower, there were 2 doors THAT WERE BOTH SEE THROUGH. At that point I started sobbing because I realized how long I'd have to deal with this. And some people had the rooms worse. The food was so mediocre and basic I barely ate anything, the staff was no help when my friend lost their bags so my friend had to hunt for it themselves and the staff only provided us with sparkling water overall. The pool was our escape but even that was dirty and there was no shade. We went to beautiful towns and sites over the days but the majority of us, myself included, threw up/collapsed from the heat, and the staff didn't do anything when we got back. If it wasn't for the amazing people I went with, I wouldn't have survived in this place. Final message: PLEASE DON'T GO HERE YOU WILL REGRET IT!!
