The place as a beach resort is excellent and i would have given it 5 stars except 2 major issues: - miserable internet and wifi connection. Couldn’t do any work or even send emails - the breakfast buffet (which is included in the price)doesn’t have a coffee station so to get a coffee one has to order it and wait 30-50 min to get the coffee. I drew these issues to the attention of guest relations and hope it will be fixed before next visit which for sure will do

This property is fantastic. The pool and beach area are beautiful and relaxing. Our room was good size as well as a great bathroom with a separate shower (large size) and tub. We had a nice balcony as well with an ocean view. The views of Stromboli and the other islands was great. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with a chef making custom omelets and crepes, very fresh fruit and nice pastries. The staff was very good- Noemi at the pool bar was outstanding!

In terms of value, I would say this didn't really love up to what it costs. It was absolutely beautiful; perfect beach, good amenities, clean pool and affordable options for water activities ie paddleboarding, free towel service, etc. But—when you're in the south of Italy, near Tropea, the land of delicious, sweet red onions, and Pizzo, known for their delicious truffle dessert—it's very disappointing that the food at the resort doesn't reflect this. Because it was offseason (end of September) only one restaurant was open for dinner and that restaurant happened to be the fine dining ristorante Mantineo. The food was prepared in advance, you could tell, and overall anticlimactic. Portions were insanely small—I understand this is a fine dining restaurant but when the food is not rich in flavor and small, it leaves you hungry. The beach bar Stromboli was open during the day, it was simply fine. It's not difficult to have basic items on the menu ie cozze vongole, aglia e olio, simply ragu. Not sure why the menu was overcomplicated and bad. we were paying ~€20 a dish at dinner and after 4 dishes our stomachs still felt empty. At the restaurant, which had an extensive wine list, we were told there was nothing left except one €150 bottle. Sorry, but no.

Great position

First impression was great, apart from the winding road in and out but view amazing. Staff at reception were fine and we got checked in quickly. Room great. We were here for 10 days which was fine but the breakfast menu never changed and it got very boring, staff in restaurant were not very efficient and you had to wait a long time to get drinks both in the evening and morning. Food was not topped up very quickly so had to go back several times sometimes to get what you wanted. Drinks at the bar were very expensive as was lunch if you had it. Beach towels changed everyday. Room was always kept clean. Kettle provided when asked. Great views from the rooms over the sea.
