“Good, but not as good as we expected from the reviews here”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2008
2
people found this review helpful

Well located resort with many facilities, tennis, bikes (extra $), gym, table tennis, diving (extra), Sailing (extra). Food good, if only a little buffet centric which can become a little much after a few days. Lunch very good although this is extra.
Very disappointed with the room, dispite having 2 bedrooms, the bathroom(loo) was tiny, which ends with a continious queue outside. Strangely the room also came with a huge kitchen. Outside on a small patio tackly plastic table and chairs. The whole thing was more like a Naple city appartment. Maybe just a one off.

“paradise again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2008

Hi just returned from this wonderful hotel again, and with its beautiful gardens it is the nearest thing to paradise i have ever experienced. The people are so warm and friendly and go out of their way to help you. If you love food, beaches, italian people, sunshine and panoramic scenery to mention but a few, then look no further. Flights ryanair stansted, car hire avis collected at Lamezia airport and hotel all booked on the internet, everything sweet cannot praise it enough. Going back again in september counting the weeks.....Trevor Wilson... Maldon Essex.

“excellent but expensive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2007

very well looked after, everything in this hotel is equipped with care and always checked or being in a good state.
it is directy at the seafront, good access by road (although hard to find because of the lack of any signs). without your own car it is hard to reach.
food was excellent and everything was freshly prepared.
we had a three-room appartement for a family with two kids so we had a lot of space. other rooms were much smaller and less beautiful.
late september is a good season to come, prices have gone down, but weather is still good.

“we returne and fell in love all over again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2007

cant get enough of this place.. sooooooooooooo relaxing. Food so great , views , the sea, the weather , the peole , the friends we made.
We were given the same gorgeous bungalow and the girls had a smaller one next door.... they seemed so happy to see us return. We were happy to return and were treated like long lost friends rather than hoilday makers.
We will make every effort to return independantly next year as it has been withdrawn from the brochure now.
You cant go wrong when you go here it is simply the most relaxing and wonderful holiday we have ever had.
If anyone works out how to get there independantly please let us know
We want to go back andback back...even my 18 year old an my 14 year old.

“Simply the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2007

person found this review helpful

We have just returned from two weeks holiday at this hotel and it’s the best holiday we have had. We were so chilled out it was great. The hotel grounds were beautiful and were well laid out. The food was a vegetarian’s dream, the sweets were to die for. The wine with the evening meals was free and as much as you wanted (red or white). The staff spoke some English but not a great deal, but if you spoke a little Italian they loved it. But all in all a great holiday for us. Best get to this place before it becomes commercialised, and Mc Donald’s gets there. Unfortunately Thomson Holidays are now pulling out of this region after only two years so if you wish to go Ryan Air operates to the local airport.

The staff were all very helpful, and the food was buffet breakfast, even bacon and eggs, as well as the cold selection. Evening meals were buffet and waiter served al la cart. On the beach you got a deck chair and a sun bed for the duration of your stay, but there were plenty of sun lounges around the pool which were more confortable.

We went to Sicily on a trip which was a long day but through some beautiful countryside. Although Sicily was nice and there were some stunning views on the way, it didn't show the true Italy as you were dropped off at Taormina. You were dropped off on the main shopping street with your free time to shop if you could afford to, and then back to the coach. Things there were more expensive and the people more reserved in Sicily. But all in all a great holiday for us.
