The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The wifi and speed was amazing. The food was good. The breakfast was not entirely free as the website suggests. The lunch buffet was delicious and loved the female bartender at the snack shack by the pool who helped us. The hotel was not a 4 star as it states and the neighbourhood surrounding the hotel is poor and run down, not safe to walk around at night. There is no iron available for hotel guests. The hotel pool needs to be fixed and maintained. The tiles are missing throughout the pool and the pool has algae growing on the side tiles. The beach made up for the pool. We had to buy towels as the hotel did not supply towels for pool/beach, 10 Euros a towel at the local market. The ocean floor is rocky and slimy and its very difficult to get in. We were not prepared to deal with the rockiness of the beach and needed to buy water shoes.

It is a resort where you will enjoy your time even if you don’t want to step outside of the property. Lush gardens, excellent pool area, cozy bar and lunch restaurant and beautiful outdoor setting for dinner. There is a separate entertaining facility for kids with animators, a well equipped gym, small boutique, bike rental, and of course the beach with beds and clean towels! Staff members are very kind and supportive.

One of the most stunning coastlines I have visited, I’ve traveled to many exotic places but this was simply naturally stunning. Water and beach perfect. Hunt out private parking much cheaper than the meter. We have since returned for a second trip and sure it will be a regular on our wish list. Do yourself a favor and pop in to Eden Village for some amazing food, mainly European delights not just Italian ..

Nice beaches with dramatic background but be aware that this place is full of holiday spending Italians (which is good as this place is still real Italian one) bringing with it lots of cars, people, loud parties of very low quality, and surprisingly enough very low quality of pizza and pasta in many restaurants primarily set up just for the season (I guess plumbers and carpenters are cooking there). If people in my country would be served food I was served in several pizzerias in Capo Vaticano they would never come again and the places would go bankrupt. Sad.... as this has nothing to do with excellent Italian cuisine I was served in Italian cities.

Beautiful Beaches.....Best to go early Morning or late Afternoon as its not so hot. Local Produce Wonderful, but it pays to buy direct from Producers or from the Small Villages, (Shops in the Towns and by beach more expensive and not so good). You need to have a car to be truly mobile, but the train services are quite good and Cheap, (If a little overfilled!)

Capo Vaticano is one of the really beautiful pearls of Calabria. It is clean, quiet and relaxed which distinguishes it from the rest of the region that can be really dirty, with trash lying all along the roads, and stressful to drive through. Beaches are nice and not at all crowded in June and the first half of July. Friendly and hospitable people, good food, relaxed ambiance. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from, my recommendations: Campagnola, Eolo (hotel) and a fish restaurant by the main road. Not sure of the name, but there's a sign by the road with Pescheria / Gastronomia written on it. Prices are normal and lower than you might expect. In my opinion you don't need to stay at a hotel, just choose a B&B. We stayed at Gracceland and were very pleased with everything. Capo Vaticano is quite high so it can be a long walk to the beach depending on where you stay. We drove to the beach and parked at the free parking (marked white) 50 - 100 m above it. If these are full you can still avoid expensive parking (2€ per hour) by using one of the private parking areas (5€ per day). It is however a bad starting point if you wish to drive around Calabria. It takes about an hour to get to the motorway. In my opinion it is quite enough if you visit Tropea, Pizzo, San Nicolo, Spilinga and Zungri. All within a one hour drive from Capo. Also there are organized tours to Eolian islands daily.
