"So yes this is a three star hotel / apartment residence block and that's what you get - three stars. We stayed in one of the apartments, which are closer to the beach than the hotel rooms - but very basic - styking from the 1970's, no kettle, no TV, cheap plastic furniture etc - but functional. You have to pay about €150 extra for air con, if available...
Upon checkin - info was extremely basic - almost nothing - just a room key. No info on anything really (wifi / beach location / bins access / how to get to the beach etc) - nothing on paper either.
However, I'd still recommend this place on balance, despite being pricey (but then again everything is pricey in this region of Italy in August) - because the beach is outstanding (very beautiful, plenty of beach activities, ideal for kids) and the beach cafe is very good. The apartments are between 150m and 300 ms from the beach up a steep road - good exercise to walk.
Nearby Tropea is wonderful to visit an defo recommend a stromboli night cruise. Pizzo and Scilla - OK - but nothing compared to Tropea (however parking is Tropea is a nightmare if you arrive after 6pm)...IF you want a relaxing beach holiday with the family - this is a wonderful location. Not huge doses of cultural artefacts - but enough to keep it edgy. Enjoy"
