We (2 adults) stayed in EuroLido hotel Sept 5-8, 2011. The hotel is in little town of Falerna, I would say on the outskirts of the town.
Getting there: there is no bus going to/from hotel (there are no bus stops anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel). We took the taxi from the Lamezia train station and got charged 40 EUR (I've inquired with the hotel before arrival and they emailed that I should expect 30-35EUR taxi ride). It takes about 15-20 min to reach the hotel by taxi.

Location: the hotel is really a resort where the main building is across the street from the beach. One side of the hotel faces the beach(just you have to cross a narrow road via the underground passage that connect sthe hotel territory with the beach). Another side of the hotel faces the mountains and sadly the railroad which is very close by. If you are unlucky to have a room facing the railroad side, you will hear the trains passing by the hotel(it is noisy and often, including at night).
The area is not very populated around the hotel, there are no stores, no supermarkets, no restaurants anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel. There is gas station with a little snacks stand right across the hotel(you can buy bottle water, ice-cream, some smokes...this is it).

The building: pretty outdated, the hallways are long and dark, the rooms are of average size(not too large), have older furniture, including very small TV, single beds(we had 2), a balcony facing the beach(if you have 3/4/5 floor), large bathroom with shower only(very small inclosure..), bidet, toilet, etc. The shampoo/conditioner are provided in a very small quantities. The towels are not very good/modern but are changed every day. The room cleaning is daily and of decent quality. You have to bring your own beach towels.
Beach: right across the road from the hotel. There is a underground underpass connecting the hotel territory(where there is a pool, tennis courts, soccer and basketball fields, the open air theatre) with the beach,so it is very safe for the kids to access the beach without crossing the very busy road.
Beach is sandy, pretty wide, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are provided for free(were included in the hotel room charges). You have to ask for the beach armband at the hotel reception. The sea is very beautiful, crystal clear and very warm in Aug/early Sept(about 23-24C). Some days, there were waves, not too big. There was a little snack shop with sodas, water, ice-cream right at the beach. The beach usage is limited to the hotel guests although there were some locals in the area adjacent to the hotel beach. The service by the beach attendant/lifeguard was OK. The lifeguard was on duty most of the time although not always paying the attention to the swimmers.

Food: breakfast was included in the room rate, included some cheese and not very good ham, lots of crossants, butter, spreads, couple of cereals/milk, several juices(not very good quality), coffee/tea machine with not a very good coffee. There were no eggs/no "hot buffet", no vegetables during breakfast. There were some canned fruits. Some of the days, the food was gone by the time we come(about 9:00) so we had to ask to bring the additional food for us.

Lunch and dinner were not included but could be added to your stay for 20 EUR per person per meal. both lunch and dinner were the buffet style, lots of vegentables, at least one meat and one fish dish, couple of pasta dishes, one soup at dinner, bottled water and a bottle of wine is included in the price. the food is more of 'home country' style, not the type of dishes you would find in the tourist restaurants. In general, the food was quite good for the money, especially considering the fact that there were no alternative places to eat anywhere near the hotel. Service in the restaurant is quite good and friendly.

Activities: there was an animation team of 7-10 people, mostly young boys/girls of 19-25 years old, who were organizing/conducting all kinds of games/activities on the beach, near the pool and conducted some performances in the evening. In general, they were very friendly, spent lots of time and energy with kids. Some spoke some limited English, mostly Italian only. The tennis court, the basketball court, the 2 soccer fields, ping pong table, the large swimming pool were available for kids and adults usage. Most of the evening entertainment was quite cheesy and in Italian language only.

Service: nobody speaks any English(with the exception of few words here and there) in the hotel. We were the only 2 americans in the hotel and when I asked if they've seen any during the summer, the answer was "not really". So, the hotel mostly serves italians(lots of them from the surrounding areas, Sicily..). Most of the Italians had the "all-inclusive" package that covered breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want lots of "action", this is not the place. If you'd like just to relax and enjoy the beach/the sea-this is a decent place to stay at. Having a car would provide you with some choices of food-you could drive to Falerna..only few minutes drive. The Lamezia airport is 20 minutes away by taxi(25EUR).

Overall, if you find a good deal(especially if it includes lunch and/or dinner), the hotel is a good deal for families.
