8/10 Very good

So yes this is a three star hotel / apartment residence block and that's what you get - three stars. We stayed in one of the apartments, which are closer to the beach than the hotel rooms - but very basic - styking from the 1970's, no kettle, no TV, cheap plastic furniture etc - but functional. You have to pay about €150 extra for air con, if available... Upon checkin - info was extremely basic - almost nothing - just a room key. No info on anything really (wifi / beach location / bins access / how to get to the beach etc) - nothing on paper either. However, I'd still recommend this place on balance, despite being pricey (but then again everything is pricey in this region of Italy in August) - because the beach is outstanding (very beautiful, plenty of beach activities, ideal for kids) and the beach cafe is very good. The apartments are between 150m and 300 ms from the beach up a steep road - good exercise to walk. Nearby Tropea is wonderful to visit an defo recommend a stromboli night cruise. Pizzo and Scilla - OK - but nothing compared to Tropea (however parking is Tropea is a nightmare if you arrive after 6pm)...IF you want a relaxing beach holiday with the family - this is a wonderful location. Not huge doses of cultural artefacts - but enough to keep it edgy. Enjoy

Ajánlom a hotelt. A szobák óriási komplexumban terülnek el. Van olyan szoba ami 150 méterre van a recepciótól. Bizonyos komplexumban a szobák nem tartalmaznak klímát, erről érdemes előre tájékozódni. A tengerpart kb 6 percre van gyalog lefelé, amely után a felfelé út elég kemény, de szerencsére időnként a hotel, ingyenes buszjáratot is indít ami nagyon jó pont részükről. Reggeli sajnos nem volt, bár egyéb éttermek nagyon közel vannak. Ajánlom a hotelt.

Posizione spettacolare, nel posto più bello della costa calabrese tirrenica. Panoramica ed immersa in una vegetazione rigogliosa. Parcheggio interno con possibilità di parcheggiare vicino al mare.

10/10 Exceptional

L'ambientazione è suggestiva, la vegetazione rigogliosa e curata. Vicino al mare, raggiungibile in 5 minuti a piedi oppure in macchina, con la possibilità di parcheggiare gratuitamente vicino al mare. In alternativa vi è un servizio navetta. Appartamento grande e spazioso con patio o terrazza abitabile. Raccolta differenziata. Difetti: spiaggia libera molto limitata ed appartamenti che richiederebbero un ammodernamento in ragione dell'usura. Pet friendly ma forse 10 euro al giorno sembrano un po' eccessivi, sarebbe più comprensibile un forfait di 50 euro per il periodo.

6/10 Good

Appartement loué pour deux semaines, conforme à ce qui était décrit, un peu vétuste et sans goût, mais pratique et tout prêt de la plage. Dommage que les serviettes de toilette ne soient changées qu'une fois par semaine (2 fois serait bien), et que le torchon de la cuisine n'ait pas été changé. Aucun équipement (ni éponge, ni produit vaisselle, ni allume gaz), et ça c'est vraiment dommage car ça ne coûte pas grand chose d'en mettre à disposition. Le personnel n'est pas toujours très souriant, mais très efficace en cas de problème.

È un complesso residenziale ben armonizzato con l'ambiente e la vegetazione circostante. Locali ampi con terrazza, anche vista mare. Pet friendly, con supplemento. Avendo già frequentato detta struttura negli scorsi anni, debbo rilevare un significavo aumento dei prezzi ed al contempo una riduzione dei servizi.

4/10 Fair

Posto incantevole, personale cordiale e professionale. Alloggio poco curato e arredo datato; nonostante la relativa segnalazione al personale addetto, ho dovuto acquistare un accendigas per poter utilizzare i fornelli e neppure il forno della cucina era funzionante, nulla è avvenuto dopo la lamentela. Al nostro arrivo mancavano anche il microonde e il phon ma sono stati integrati immediatamente. Il servizio spieggia è a pagamento anche se tale opzione non risulta fra gli extra . Vi è stata anche una maggiorazione di 10 euro, a loro dire, sulla tasse di soggiorno rispetto al computo finale di Expedia.

Pttima posizione a Capo Vaticano. Struttura un po' datata come residence (l'hotel mi sembrava tenuto meglio), ma comunque una buona casa per una vacanza rilassante. Manca negli appartamenti il TV e l'aria condizionata che la farebbero passare da una struttura buona ad eccellente..
