The linoleum tiled lobby of the property's main building, furnished with a casual, eclectic mix of wicker furniture and stuffed cotton-covered couches, feels vaguely like a cross between a cheery senior center and a sprawling summer camp compound meeting area. Interior architecture fixtures and the outdoor patio are egregiously '60s, while the exterior of the main building looks more like a European apartment building, with a stucco exterior and terra-cotta tile roof. The restaurant is a short walk away (some guests find this a bit of a hassle) and a handful of additional structures house the apartment-style accommodations. The apartment buildings closest to the water are separated by a row of hedges and a small sidewalk.

The hotel draws lots of tour groups and particularly caters to the German market (there are signs, menus, and TV channels in German). Older guests may not be happy here due to the lack of elevator and the noisy evening entertainment, such as the kids' disco.

The small beach hamlet of Naregno, in which the property is ensconced, houses a few hotels and little else. Room buildings are set slightly back from the adjacent sandy strip that constitutes the beach. Capoliveri is about a 10-minute drive away, with the first restaurant at the midway point, and Porto Azzurro is about 15 minutes by car. It is possible to take a water taxi to Porto Azzurro from a nearby dock.

White walls and floral bedspreads combine with dark-wood laminate bed frames and cabinetry for plain, no-frills decor with a faint whiff of country. Most floors are covered in wood laminate, a cozier alternative to the ceramic tiling typical of hotels in the area. The majority of the rooms offer some type of outdoor space, which can vary in terms of protection from the sun and furnishings provided. The Baby Room has a double burner and a sink area for food preparation. There are also apartments with more extensive living quarters, in some cases duplexes with a living room and kitchenette; these quarters have a more extensive outdoor space, some with a picnic table. All rooms have an electric kettle, an empty mini-fridge, a small, wall-mounted flat-panel TV with satellite channels (in Italian and German), a hairdryer, and an AC unit.

The narrow strip of sand, which drops into the sea after the length of a half dozen beach chairs, is clean, and the water so placid it could be mistaken for a lake: a truly family-friendly bathing area. It's one of the nicer hotel beaches on the island; the one at Grand Hotel Elba International is small and man-made, while the one at Hotel Capo Sud is pebbly. 

A fairly sizable outdoor pool, suitable for modest laps, sits adjacent to a kids' pool, a small hot tub, and a large grassy area. The supervised kids' activities are a major draw for parents, though guests without kids may occasionally find them disruptive. The hotel has a restaurant for guests choosing half- or full-board options (popular given the fairly isolated location), with some outdoor seating options in the summer as an alternative to the cafeteria-like interior dining area.
