Disliked: Room comfort
Klassiskt 3-stjĂ€rnigt hotell. VĂ€ldigt lyhört och det hördes vĂ€l nĂ€r grannarna spolade i toalett och dusch samt stĂ€darna som pratade högt varje morgon. PoolomrĂ„det ok men nĂ„got slitet, en person som pratade i en microfon med aktiviteter vilket var störande. Strunta i lekarna och spela bra lugn musik istĂ€llet. Frukosten ej bra, i Italien mĂ„nga kakor till frukost men Ă€ggen var gamla och grĂ„ pĂ„ insidan, halvmosad banan till youghurten, juiceconcentrat. Hotellet ligger bra till, shuttlebus till stranden gĂ„r flera gĂ„nger om dagen. Är nĂ„got brant promenad men vi gjorde den nĂ„gra gĂ„nger. Trevlig beachbar med mat och dryck. StĂ„r pĂ„ hemsidan att gĂ€ster har tillgĂ„ng till strandstolar men i sjĂ€lva verket mĂ„ste man betala för dem. Finns heller inga strandsĂ€ngar utan enbart stolar. Hotellet hĂ€mtade och lĂ€mnade oss vid tĂ„gstation Ricade vilket var smidigt. Överlag trevligt men det finns förbĂ€ttringspotential.

Pessimo soggiorno

Hotel squallido con ospiti nella quasi totalitĂ  stranieri. Nonostante si faccia pagare a fine Agosto 150€ a notte, il frigo si paga a parte(5€ al giorno), cosĂŹ come l'aria condizionata(5€ al giorno), cosĂŹ come il servizio spiaggia (15€ al giorno), cosĂŹ 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 Ăš che puoi arrivare a mare tramite una discesa privata molto ripida, ma la navetta Ăš ogni mezz'ora, perciĂČ se vuoi andarci in altri orari devi usare la tua macchina. La colazione Ăš 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!

HĂŽtel calme proche de la mer

Déçue par ce qui Ă©tait prĂ©vu et ce que l'on a trouvĂ© Ă  l'arrivĂ©e : RĂ©servation d'une chambre avec 2 lits doubles, nous avions un lit double et un lit simple !! La chambre trĂšs petite, peu de rangement, mal insonorisĂ©e. Le tarif de l'hĂŽtel pour le transfert est annoncĂ© Ă  €70, le prix rĂ©el est de €85, une taxe non mentionnĂ©e pour l'animation qui ne valait pas un tel supplĂ©ment (14 jours Ă  €125). Les photos sur le site ne sont pas rĂ©alistes.. l'accueil et l'organisation laisse Ă  dĂ©sirĂ©.

Hotel bien situé et accueillant

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

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.
