Pros:

Das Hotel und die ganze Anlage waren so wunderschön und mit ganz ganz viel Liebe eingerichtet. Der Garten wie im Paradies. Die Poolanlage war toll. Das Personal hat sogar am Pools bedient und Getränke gebracht. Alles war super sauber. Da wir mit unserem Hund nicht in den Speiseraum zum Frühstück durften, wurde uns das Frühstück in unserem Zimmer auf dem Balkon mit Meerblick serviert. Ein Traum! Wir hätten auch draußen im Garten frühstücken dürfen.
Das Personal hat jeden Wunsch erfüllt und waren alle super nett. Das Abendessen im Hotel war sehr lecker, der Service top.
Es gab einen Shuttlebus zum Strand der den ganzen Tag auf Abruf bereit stand. Rundum ein traumhaftes Hotel.

Cons:

Man war immer auf das Auto oder den Shuttlebus angewiesen. Ringsherum gab es nicht wirklich sehr viel sehenswertes.
Wir sind täglich in das ca. 10 km entfernte Tropea gefahren. Eine atemberaubend schöne Stadt, fürs Auge, zum Bummeln, Shoppen, Essen, Trinken, Baden. Der Strand und das Wasser sind traumhaft. Leider war der Strand sehr überfüllt und das bereits in der Vorsaison Anfang/Mitte Juni.

Pros:

Hotel situato in una buona posizione e con una piscina davvero bella, ampia e ben curata, ideale per rilassarsi durante il soggiorno. Le camere, invece, risultano un po' datate ma nel complesso accettabili.
Il personale di reception gentile e cortese. Bella l'idea del Welcome Drink all'arrivo. Colazione buona e varia.

Cons:

Purtroppo l'esperienza è stata rovinata da alcuni aspetti negativi. Alle 8:30 del mattino le cameriere parlavano e urlavano nei corridoi accordandosi su quali stanze dovessero essere sistemate per prime, rendendo impossibile continuare il nostro riposo. Inoltre, sono entrate in camera senza attendere una risposta, mentre eravamo ancora a letto, un episodio che abbiamo trovato molto spiacevole e poco rispettoso della privacy degli ospiti.

Pros:

Wspaniały basen, czysty i o odpowiedniej głębokości. Bardzo wygodne i liczne leżaki. Pomocny personel, szczególnie wygodny był codzienny transfer na plażę. Śniadania świeże i dobra kawa. Hotel bardzo czysty i zadbany.

Cons:

Telewizor mógłby być trochę większy, a śniadania bardziej urozmaicone. Dosyć głośna droga przylegająca do hotelu.

Consigliamo questo posto!
Pros:

Struttura grande, funzionale, luminosa. Corridoi ampi, camere pulite e funzionali. Colazione top. Servizio navetta per la spiaggia incluso e comodissimo vista la difficoltà per trovare parcheggio. Personale accogliente e disponibile per ogni esigenza. Abbiamo gradito moltissimo l’accoglienza all’arrivo con aperitivo di benvenuto (tra l’altro super fresco e buonissimo). In camera abbiamo trovato un piccolo omaggio da portare a casa, un piccolo gesto che dimostra la cura e l’attenzione verso il cliente.

Cons:

Consigliamo insonorizzazione delle stanze e spazi di appoggio nel bagno.

Pros:

Clean. Not bad coffee. A lovely dog on the premises (friendly and sweet). Clean swimming pool. Good air conditioning. Clean bed linen.

Cons:

Far from the sea. There are no decent restaurants nearby. There are no pavements on the roads, so walking is very dangerous. There is no sushi restaurant, although it is advertised and shown in many photos. The breakfast is repetitive, but definitely matches the level of a 3-star hotel.
The most unpleasant part: we were leaving at 7:25 a.m. We had booked the shuttle to the station the evening before (as advertised on Booking), and just in case we also asked reception to arrange a taxi. In the end, neither the shuttle nor the taxi arrived — we had to run to the station for 20 minutes with our luggage.
Overall — a classic 3-star hotel in southern Italy, but without Italian food around it. Wine that costs €3 in a shop is €23 in the hotel restaurant (though that is normal).

We can only recommend.
Pros:

Both members of the reception staff were very nice and helpful with us. The room was perfectly fine and the breakfast was very generous. The check-out was flexible, we were able to do several hours of sightseeing before we left. The parking is also great, they have their own closed parking lot.
