This property is fantastic. The pool and beach area are beautiful and relaxing. Our room was good size as well as a great bathroom with a separate shower (large size) and tub. We had a nice balcony as well with an ocean view. The views of Stromboli and the other islands was great. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with a chef making custom omelets and crepes, very fresh fruit and nice pastries. The staff was very good- Noemi at the pool bar was outstanding!

Nice large property, staff were nice to deal with.

The place as a beach resort is excellent and i would have given it 5 stars except 2 major issues:
- miserable internet and wifi connection. Couldn’t do any work or even send emails
- the breakfast buffet (which is included in the price)doesn’t have a coffee station so to get a coffee one has to order it and wait 30-50 min to get the coffee.
I drew these issues to the attention of guest relations and hope it will be fixed before next visit which for sure will do
Great hotel with super pool and beach setting. Worth having a room with sea views as the sunsets and views of Stromboli and Lipari are not to be missed.
Room was large and very comfortable and fitted with all the usual amenities. The maid service was excellent and bed linen changed very regularly.
Good safety cover at the beach and pool for unsupervised swimmers or emergencies.
If anything was below par it was the restaurant. The choice of food for all meals was more varied than anyone needed . It was self-service which again was ok but I would have liked to have had the choice of an al a carte restaurant that was more private and deserved by the rating of the hotel in general.. The existing area for meals was fine for breakfast but pretty ordinary for supper. The area was tight so the coming and goings of people helping themselves meant that it was far too push and shove. If you don't have children with you then those there can be annoying when the kids club has not taken them in.
I did enjoy the poolside lunchtime restaurant. The food was good as was the service and menu choice at reasonable prices.
Hotel a little cut off but trips to Tropea were daily and worth going. Coast around Capovaticano was super.
Good place to try out your Italian. Not like Sorrento where English is the norm.

spa, pools, sauna, she grosszuegig angelegt, sauber, Salzwasser, nicht wie oft mit Chlor zugeschüttet, sehr gut verträglich, freundlicher service im gesamten spa Bereich
im Hauptrestaurant, wir hatten dort nur Frühstück, gute Auswahl, allerdings bis mit italienisch Kenntnissen hat man es leichter, Englische Kommunikation nur spärlich moeglich, schade
Am Beach restaurant service freundlich und hilfsbereit, Auswahl fuer paar Tage reichlich, allerdings immer dasselbe
die ganze Anlage ist sehr zur Entspannung angelegt, sobald man die Serpentinen runtergefahren ist, beginnt das relaxen.....

In terms of value, I would say this didn't really love up to what it costs. It was absolutely beautiful; perfect beach, good amenities, clean pool and affordable options for water activities ie paddleboarding, free towel service, etc. But—when you're in the south of Italy, near Tropea, the land of delicious, sweet red onions, and Pizzo, known for their delicious truffle dessert—it's very disappointing that the food at the resort doesn't reflect this. Because it was offseason (end of September) only one restaurant was open for dinner and that restaurant happened to be the fine dining ristorante Mantineo. The food was prepared in advance, you could tell, and overall anticlimactic. Portions were insanely small—I understand this is a fine dining restaurant but when the food is not rich in flavor and small, it leaves you hungry. The beach bar Stromboli was open during the day, it was simply fine. It's not difficult to have basic items on the menu ie cozze vongole, aglia e olio, simply ragu. Not sure why the menu was overcomplicated and bad.
we were paying ~€20 a dish at dinner and after 4 dishes our stomachs still felt empty. At the restaurant, which had an extensive wine list, we were told there was nothing left except one €150 bottle. Sorry, but no.

Bellissima location direttamente sul mare in completa tranquillità! Camere dotate di ogni confort, ben curate nei particolari e pulite. Ottima e abbondante colazione che causa le normative riguardanti il covid 19 ha subito un rallentamento nel servizio ai tavoli!
Complessivamente il soggiorno é stato ottimo!
