The 154-room Grand Hotel Club Daniela is a resort-style hotel with access to outdoor, cultural, and relaxing pursuits. The hotel's main attraction is its private, white-sand beach -- complete with beach bar -- accessed by either a half-mile walk or shuttle ride through a peaceful pine forest. Be aware that the shuttle also picks up guests from a nearby hotel and can become crowded, which makes travel with children and strollers tricky. The pool is clean, surrounded by trees, and long and wide enough for swimming laps, and visitors can boat and windsurf in the Mediterranean. The hotel is a good home base for exploring Puglia's coastal towns, such as Otranto, and historic sites in Lecce.
