Excellent Off-Season Value
Arrived on a Sunday afternoon in October, for a 2-night stay, only to learn that the spa is closed on Mondays. Sunday, we had a vast array of breakfast buffet items to ourselves, as we were apparently the only guests in this expansive hotel complex. We enjoyed 2 delicious dinners in dining room. Our bed was very comfortable; spacious bathroom. Very nice water view from our balcony, with Sicily in the distance. Staff were personable and helpful. Overall: EXCELLENT off-season value, although wind and rain prevented us from enjoying outdoor pool/facilities.

Really higher service level than normally received, friendly staff, amazing view, the breakfast was amazing, including all the best of local specialties.
The only strange thing was the poolboy who protected the pooltowels with his life - you were not allowed to leave the pool area with them. But besides that, it was an amazing stay and we look forward to return.

Lovely resort. Amazing breakfast spread was included. Friendly, helpful staff. Just the transfers to Reggio, a 15 mins drive was €40 each way. I recommend having a rental car when staying here.

Unfortunately we were not able to get to the property until late in the evening but the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The room was air conditioned well appointed. The property is itself is stunning and very well maintained. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast buffet in the restaurant by the pool with a fantastic view of Sicily.

The property and staff were great but transportation into the nearby town of Scilla was not easy - no local cab service so one had to arrange taxi service from the nearest city and it was expensive and cumbersome. The area is GORGEOUS

There was a large group of people travelling together. We all selected the same room options when booking and paid the same price, but some people were in a new and modern building while we were in a dark, much older building with faded carpets, beds that were very hard and we were only given 1 thin pillow. I requested additional pillows, however they were never provided. That being said, the pool and the restaurant were great. Had we been in the other building, our experience would have been much better.

One of the most incredibly beautiful views: mainland Italy and across Sicily. A 5 star resort with a 4 start service.

Everything was great. The one thing I will say, ensure that you have clicked on the right amount of guests; for some reason, my Expedia defaulted to one guest and we were charged 40 euro a night for each night, which ended up costing an additional 400 euro for the stay.

A dark cave!
Warning‼️ You're living in a cave here! There are no windows, oxygen or light (only in the very high category)! The pictures were all taken with the room door open, which distorts the impression. These rooms were built without any windows (even in the bathroom, everything closed!). An absolute nightmare for me! On top of that, the bed is so uncomfortable that my shoulder pain was extreme after the first night. 2 nights were 2 nights too many! Appearances can be deceiving! The only positive thing is the breakfast, which is plenty even if you're on a carbohydrate-free diet, and of course the staff are very nice; they can't do anything about the architectural style! Apart from that, I don't understand the builder and architect of these buildings? We travel a lot, but I've never experienced anything like this before; I had to get over the shock first!

Poolen var lukket selvom det var i sæsonen og vejret var skønt. Den lækre restaurant med udsigt over havet var kun for selskaber. Roomservice fungerede ikke. Personalet i den anden restaurant var derimod meget søde. Direktøren tilbød at upgradere os - ved næste besøg :(
