눉No other dinner options so we had to drive to the local village which was fun but it would have been nice to have had another option of a more casual restaurant on site. Our shower leaked very badly during our stay which is apparently a design flaw with some of the rooms.
눇Beautiful beach and wonderful Mitchelin star restaurant

눉The complex is surrounded with poor quality apartments in a run down state. The principle thing that spoiled the trip was the poor quality taxi they arranged for us at an exhorbitant price
눇Room with outside courtyard was excellent. The Michelin starred restaurant was fantastic and the informal restaurant by the pool was great. The staff in both were extremely helpful and friendly.

“THIS IS NOT A 5* HOTEL. Although it has the potential, facilities and there are redeeming features i”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Patio

눉The hotel is situated in amongst a busy Italian holiday resort not a tranquil setting ⁃ No clear signage to reception resulting in getting lost upon arrival - if you are walking from the pool back to reception it is signposted but why would you be approaching from that side first time? ⁃ There are insufficient parking spaces provided: ~6 spaces for many more rooms so it’s a total lottery where you park outside ⁃ In all of the newest block of rooms the showers flood meaning you need to use towels to trap yourself into the cubicle to make it watertight. It took over a day before any member of staff was honest about this and admitted the problem stems back to the architects ⁃ Restaurant service is highly inconsistent at the bistro with lots of mistakes being made including: ham cooked in a vegetarian omelette; pots of tea with no tea bag; drinks arriving with a 15 minute delay; staff completely ignoring you and clearing other tables whilst you and many others are waiting for service; 2 salt and pepper sellers for 20 tables; inconsistent process for signing the bill at the table or walking to the bar; food supplies at breakfast such as pastries and fruit running out over and hour before the end of breakfast and not being replenished ⁃ On the first night the beachside restaurant was open but only offered fish or meat grill. They offered no vegetarian options and the bistro was shut meaning either don’t eat, leave the hotel or visit the Michelin star restaurant and foot the bill ⁃ Settling the bill was challenging due to language barriers. The hotel was unable to provide change when paying in Euro notes. Additionally, when checking if breakfast would be available for a 07.15 departure we were informed that it doesn’t start until 07.30. No alternative arrangements were offered.
눇The staff are very friendly ⁃ Complimentary upgrade on arrival (undisclosed initially) ⁃ The room was clean, modern and stylish with an outside seating area and bath as well as modern Bluetooth speakers to stream your own music ⁃ Molton Brown toiletries replaced most days ⁃ The bistro food is nice (when it turns up) especially the evening meal, desert and cocktails ⁃ The beach is a big positive. Large enough to accommodate guests, free loungers, parasols and towels, very close to the bistro/pool and with hammocks in the sea. ⁃ The pool/bar/bistro area is very attractive

“We would stay there again, but not at the same price. Its not a 5 star resort.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 9 nights
눉Upon check in around 10:00 pm, we were a bit tired after our flight, and we actually got a bit turned around, got lost, even with the navigator we rented with the car. Very difficult to find the resort in the night/darkness. Upon check in, we were guided through a tour of the resort, perhaps this could be done in the morning for late arrivals. Perhaps being sensitive with late arrivals, invite back the next morning for orientation. There was no information in the room about the facilities, possibilities, other areas we could eat, check in/out times, general information would be helpful. The location is beautiful, fixed right in to a conglomeration of a mixed housing area. There could be bigger signs at the top of the road to direct guests to the resort. Our room which was 111, it did not look like all the other photos of the rooms on the web site. It was located behind the restaurant bistro, you could hear the fan exhaust system coming from the kitchen. Also, below our room felt like residents, and the feeling was separate from the resort. The bed was close to the wall, to get to the other side of the bed, you needed to walk sideways, or be very thin in volume. The cleaning was sometimes inconsistent, and the amenities for the shower bath area were sometimes refilled. The AC would not get colder than probably 71 degrees Fahrenheit, as it can be very hot and humid during July. Our stay was 9 nights, so there could be a little more variety in the food selection. We discovered the amazing Calabrian food available in the town 10 minutes away, La Castella, and how reasonable the prices were and how delicious the varieties of Italian and Mediterranean foods. We feel these things would enhance each guests stay, as not to be afraid to share other possibilities for eating. At check out, we had to wait about 30 minutes before being helped.
눇The Bistro Staff, Claudio very personable, friendly, helpful, fun and breakfast. Other staff members Emilio, Marko were also friendly. The beach is a plus for this property, and the fact that the lounge chairs and umbrella's were part of the offering on the private beach. Our room 111 was the closest to the beach.

눉It is on the Ionian side of Calabria... be aware that there is nothing to do and limited sight seeing. There is also a very sad trash problem all over the province. People should also know that the hotel Is in the middle of a strange 1960's beach community.
눇Wonderful boutique hotel. The room was very comfortable, the food at the garden restaurant was quite good.
