After a 90 minute drive from the airport we were dropped off at the bottom of a long drive leading to the hotel, minus one suitcase which someone had mistakenly taken at the first hotel stop, thankfully returned to us later the same day. Friendly greeting at the reception, we then made our way to our room 134 and to be honest we were very disappointed with the room. Small, dated, and a bit dingy, my wife asked if we could upgrade to a larger room, we were told that all rooms were the same size. Our room was very clean though. The toilet and shower area could do with a complete refit. Outside was a different story pool area and all of the surrounding areas were very well kept, clean and tidy, with dramatic views over the coastline. The pool is beautiful with not too much noise around it. Food in the hotel is varied and very good. The. Bar staff were excellent serving quickly, effectively and with a smile. For a hotel the prices were very food. Would we go back? Yes, if we had a better room.

We had a lovely stay in room 215 in the main building in a newly renovated room with a small balcony with sea and land views. Check in was speedy and having a look around the hotel grounds and taking in the views we ordered a light lunch. The hotel was a little too remote for me and the nearest local shop in Santa Maria is downhill walk to the BIG MARKET for drinks and snacks but quite a steep incline to walk on a hot day No charge for fridge or safe or AC. The quality of service from all the staff was exceptional and the food at dinner was a real treat, if you wanted a freshly cooked pizza Calabrese etc this can be ordered instead of ordering form the à la carte menu that is displayed each morning. The shuttle bus to the local beach is efficient was to get there and back (no charge) there is also a hotel shuttle to Tropea and this gets booked up fast and cost 10€ per person return, after two hours in Tropea I wanted to return to the hotel but pick up was two hours later so we had a light lunch there The views from the hotel terraces and first floor terrace are amazing This really is a family run hotel and the management run the hotel well I noted that signs appeared around the dining room threatening a 15€ fine if guests are caught removing food from the restaurant and another threat of removing towels from unattended sunbeds. Yes some guests don’t follow the guidance and are out putting towels down at 07.30 in the shaded areas There are not enough parasols around the pool in my opinion but maybe more are available if you ask Remember tourist tax is payable And currently 2€ per person per night
