Disliked: Room comfort
Small, cramped room. Felt like a cottage-like resort. Staff weren't very friendly/helpful. Difficult to find location & wasn't as close to water as I had understood from description.

Klassiskt 3-stjärnigt hotell. Väldigt lyhört och det hördes väl när grannarna spolade i toalett och dusch samt städarna som pratade högt varje morgon. Poolområdet ok men något slitet, en person som pratade i en microfon med aktiviteter vilket var störande. Strunta i lekarna och spela bra lugn musik istället. Frukosten ej bra, i Italien många kakor till frukost men äggen var gamla och grå på insidan, halvmosad banan till youghurten, juiceconcentrat. Hotellet ligger bra till, shuttlebus till stranden går flera gånger om dagen. Är något brant promenad men vi gjorde den några gånger. Trevlig beachbar med mat och dryck. Står på hemsidan att gäster har tillgång till strandstolar men i själva verket måste man betala för dem. Finns heller inga strandsängar utan enbart stolar. Hotellet hämtade och lämnade oss vid tågstation Ricade vilket var smidigt. Överlag trevligt men det finns förbättringspotential.

Pessimo soggiorno
Hotel squallido con ospiti nella quasi totalità stranieri. Nonostante si faccia pagare a fine Agosto 150€ a notte, il frigo si paga a parte(5€ al giorno), così come l'aria condizionata(5€ al giorno), così come il servizio spiaggia (15€ al giorno), così come il wifi (2€ al giorno). A molte camere si accede solo tramite scale, niente zanzariere nelle stanze, motore dei condizionatori delle camere montati senza logica, a noi, che eravamo tre persone, per due notti hanno dato solo 3 bustine monodose di docciashampoo. Se alloggi qui l'unico vantaggio che hai è che puoi arrivare a mare tramite una discesa privata molto ripida, ma la navetta è ogni mezz'ora, perciò se vuoi andarci in altri orari devi usare la tua macchina. La colazione è stata per noi l'esperienza peggiore, a dir poco scarsa, con cornetti vuoti congelati, jogurt non confezionato, "succo" dalla macchinetta che era acqua colorata e, in Calabria, ZERO frutta, infine, la cosa intollerabile erano le urla in sala tra caposala e camerieri condite da Bestemmie, il tutto nonostante fossero presenti anche bambini! Un posto da evitare!

Hotel bien situé et accueillant
Nous avons passé 8 jours dans cet hôtel fin octobre 2014. Cet hôtel, situé à Capo Vaticano est bien aménagé et proche d'une très belle plage. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et le personnel fait preuve d'attentions régulières avec les clients de l'hôtel. Belle piscine également à disposition des clients.

ottimo per famiglia e single
L'hotel ed il personale tutto OK ma vietare l'uso del frigorifero se non a pagamento è stato il massimo e nella colazione senza cappuccino e caffè espresso non si fa siamo in italia la patria del caffè espresso e ti servono caffè all'americana (brodaglia)
