Beautiful hotel with amazing views from the castle and the new sporting area. Breakfast was beautiful staring out at the straight of Messina and the beautiful coast below. The breakfast catered to Italians and Americans I was pleased to find scrambled eggs and bacon along with delicious freshly made juices. The food was very good and featured local dishes. We stayed in the new Sporting complex which was all new and the Suite we stayed in was beautiful and comfortable. In the evenings we would sit on the balcony and watch the entertainment around the pool which was quite large and beautiful. The only complaint was that the AC didn’t work very well in our building. It was a new system and had some huge glitches but the staff did a lot to accommodate us and make our stay as pleasant as possible. Overall, the place is beautiful and the staff from reception, the cleaners and wait staff did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Cheers to Antonio the lifeguard who took care of us around the pool and spoke pretty good English !

This hotel is defined as a 5 stars luxury at the entrance. It is definitely a 5 stars luxury for its position and the view that can be enjoyed from the swimming pool and the restaurant and breakfast areas. Every morning, when sitting for breakfast, the first smile and emotion comes from the view. The hotel itself, its environment and organization, and the rooms, are between 4 and 5 stars in my opinion. The room are very well furnished, large, classy, with all comforts, with good air conditioning. Internal parking lot is also available, making it a pleasure to walk in the resort aisles without cars moving around. The hotel also offers a (paid) shuttle service to/from the bext beach in the vicinity, which is very convenient, considering that parking close to the beaches is a nightmare in Calabria. Breakfast offers a huge set of choices, including sweet and salted options, and a choice of cakes which does not help in case you are on a diet! As I always expect from 4 and above stars hotels, you do NOT need to make your own expresso or cappuccino or tea from a machine, at breakfast. Waiters will come and serve you directly from the bar. The restaurant is the weak point: NOT because of quality, which is quite high, with many special and cured offers from typical local cuisine. The issue is the lenghty and slow service. When I say "slow", I mean very slow. I will provide more details in the review of the restaurant on its own. Wifi connectivity is good and stable. A technical improvement for the rooms is required: when you get out and remove the card key from the slot, not only the lights go off, but also the electrical outlet stop providing electrical power. So if you have anything in charge, it will stop charging.

this Hotel is basically not suitable for a longer stay; merely ok for a stop over to take the Ferry next day to Sicily. at check-in it appeared that it was not their high-season, so the restaurant was closed as well as more facilities. great location for weddings and meetings but not for Holiday. rooms are outdated and very basic; breakfast buffet seems extensive but contains about 1000 jars of jam and Nutella. swimmingpool is at the main building, so if travelling with children make sure to book a room at the main building. the Hotel has golf carts for transportation around the premises but not to be found if you need one. basically an ok hotel but definately not for more than 1 or 2 nights. a car is needed to visit any surrounding villages.
