Feel ripped off with private lodge!!

Reviewed By peepsmonmouthshire

Stayed here 14th-28th May. I'll start with the pros staying in the private Lodge Immaculate grounds, lovely swimming pools. Beautiful kept gardens. Friendly staff. Lovely walk to the beach through a forest, with activities as you walk through. Like chess, park for the children, archery, hammocks. Beautiful shingle beach. Bring beach shoes also sand can get hot. Sports on offer really good Now for the cons this going to be a long One! We paid £450.00 to upgrade to private lodge. On the tui web site advertises room with sofa large room with free gift and bottle of wine on arrival. We didn't get that. We had a small room, no draw space. My husband had to leave his case on balcony as there was no room to put anything. It was possibly the smallest room I have ever stayed in! No wine The lame offerings in fridge one bottle of beer?? There is two of us. Shall we share it?? Couple cans of pop Two bottles of water. NO IRON went to reception to ask for one. They told me irons are forbidden in hotel!! I asked why, they said just in case we burn room down!! Well if got to my mid forties and haven't burnt down my house yet!! NO BREAKFAST TEA BAGS they ran out of tea bags for 4 days. I don't want earl grey or fruit tea. TOOK DRINKS OFF ALL INCLUSIVE first week we were there they had a cheap version of Bailey's in p/l bar also other liqueurs they took them off the drinks menu. Had Smirnoff vodka first week cheap one 2nd week. Smirnoff Never returned. Drinks really poor in p/l. The first 12 days the p/ l bar closed at 11pm. Turned off lights at 10.55 and kicked everyone outside. Many people complained to it was too early as they didn't want to go over to familyl bar with kids. Whole reason why people booked p/l for peace and quiet. FOOD always cold. Unless you were there as soon as it opened. P/l speciality restaurant was much better. Food at family side restaurant was 10 times better. Alot more choice.Not what you want to hear when you pay all this money for the so called better upgrade. Mornings/evenings at p/l was table service absolutely chaos. Waiting ages for drinks. This review only touches the surface of the little niggles I had during my 2 week stay. Definately wouldn't return. Don't waste your money on private lodge!!

With manicured gardens and a panoramic view of the extravagant mountains in the back ground overlooking the huge swimming pool, this impeccably kept Hotel paints a true picture of Italy’s best kept secret in the South - Calabria! My wife and I have been spoilt with kindness and warmth from the all the team and have enjoyed 5 star luxury including dining at the exclusive restaurant and relaxing in the exquisite spa.

Hotel Village Eden

One of the most beautiful parts of the Calabrian coast, Tropea town and the Capo Vaticano area treasure the natural beauty, history and most attractive holiday resorts - those where man followed the natural landscape and where hotels and villages are hidden among generous Mediterranean vegetation. Placed literally on the beach, underneath Capo Vaticano, the village is only 30 metres from the seashore. Well developed amid trees and coastal slopes, Eden seems to be the natural part of this most exciting Calabrian coastal spot.

Skip for somewhere in downtown Tropea or Sicily

Reviewed By Gabbi C

This is a lovely resort for local italian families with young children. This is not a resort for international tourists—there are many better options that provide more value for your money. The beach is beautiful, but many staff members are less than friendly, and the atmosphere feels more like an Italian summer camp. If you do not have a car you will be very bored in the evenings.

Quiet mediocre resort

Reviewed By JoanM7200

Spent 1 week at Cala di Volpe with my family and it was ok. Nothing special. It’s advertised as a 4 star resort but there’s very little that makes this a 4 star resort. I’d give it 3 stars on a good day. The accommodations were very basic. There was only 1 dining table which was outside and nothing inside. TVs we’re only present in the bedrooms and they had a very limited channel lineup. AC worked really good. The beach was nothing like I was expecting. Yes it’s clean and the water is amazing but there’s rocks everywhere and it’s virtually impossible to enjoy the water unless you buy water shoes…even then it’s easy to injure yourself. Most other beaches in the area have less rocks. Pool area was nice but the cap requirement in the pool is ridiculous and utterly useless. The jacuzzi isn’t hot and the jets are very weak. Pool closes at 7pm each night which is also quite dumb for a beach resort. Activities at the resort are nil unless you’re a little kid and they have some activities for kids. Nothing to really do at the resort. Restaurant quality is ok but prices are very high especially for the area. Easily 40-50% higher than most restaurants outside the resort. The resort was ok but for the amount of money they charge you can find much better.

Poor service. We spend one and a half months getting the refund, and when we call them and asked them when we will get the refund, they were making fun of us. The deal was a free cancellation, so I would appreciate it that you give the frame when the payment is made as a hotel.

Italian South Sea resort

Reviewed By Philipp H

Baia del Godano probably comes as close to a South Sea resort as you can get in Italy. Nice apartments/rooms, a restaurant by the sea with very nice food, the best choices for breakfast we had during our round trip, a well-kept flower/garden zone, a private beach, an open air fitness center and a very kind receptionist who, among other things, organized our parking at our next stop in Matera. Yes, it was expensive, but it was well worth it.

Disappointed with customer service

Reviewed By MonikaKier

Customer experience in La Pizzuta ends the second you depart the premises. My 5-year old daughter forgot her backpack with beloved toys in the reception area. The same day I've tried to contact the hotel via phone and emails, but unfortunately there was no contact/no response to my kind request to send the backpack to my home (of course with the offer to cover all expenses). I understand that hotel doesn't bear responsibility for my forgotten luggage, but it would be nice to have ANY kind of response to my question instead of silence. Other cons: - most of the stuff doesn't speak English, - swimming pool is closed from 1PM to 4PM due to siesta (!) - poor breakfast (there is only bread, jams, boiled eggs, 1-2 types of sliced cheese and meat, cornflakes, fruit and pastries; nothing warm, no vegatables) - no place to dry your clothes and towels in the room - wi-fi in the room non-existent. Pros: - beautiful garden and nice swimming pool area, - friendly stuff; at most times don't understand you, but they try to make it up with the smile, - good location with 30-40min walk to Tropea (but remember you will need to go back UP the hill:))
