Booked this hotel through the recommendation of a friend. First off the staff were excellent, friendly throughout, and always willing to go that bit further to help! The two rooms we booked for the family were very nice, clean, light and most importantly comfortable! The hotel had good WIFI reception, and speed so the kids had no problem using their... More

My husband and I stayed in this lovely little hotel for several days as we celebrated our 30th anniversary. The hotel was only open for ten days and the hotel staff was still managing to iron out the kinks. They did a fantastic job and went above and beyond just to make our stay memorable. You do need a car... More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Calipso at the end of their vacation season, late October. This is a wonderful little hotel with very friendly staff. The free parking is wonderful and the beach views are beautiful. There were a few things worth mentioning though. The hotel is hard to locate for those geographically challenged as I am. Once...

There was no warm water, the water pressure was extremely weak, breakfast was plain (we were explained that the .guests had eaten too much and therefor there were things missing...). The worst was the service and general attitude

I stayed in Calipso Hotel in June. It was a great choice. First the staff is always eager to help you, to find the best routes for you, always smiling and making you feel that you are not a number there but some kind of friend. Any time you return to the hotel , there is a smile for you... More

We stayed two nights in a quad room. The beds were all comfortable and large enough to accommodate tall teen-agers. We paid 20 euro extra over the two nights to obtain a room with a sea view, which was very attractive. The beach was across a road from the hotel. We had a very large balcony over two sides of...

Hotel Calipso is one of the best hotels where we have ever stayed during our holidays abroad. The hotel is situated right next to the beach; all of its rooms are clean and seems to be brand-new. We were amazed by the rooms not only because of the cleanliness and the new furniture but because of the colors and the... More

We spent a week at the hotel and found it a very comfortable and relaxing stay. We shared a large clean room with our two teenage children. The room also had a large balcony overlooking the sea and pool area which was lovely to sit out in. The staff made us feel very welcome and were very helpful with any... More

The Calipso is ideal as a beach front location as its literally over the road from the beach (shale not sand). The room was basic but really comfortable with a massive terrace overlooking the pool and the beach. The breakfast was basic but nice (croissants, toast, cheese, ham, yoghurts, cereal, little cakes, cappucinos). The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful.... More
