Baia Del Sole Resort

The property itself is gorgeous. The only downsides are 1. food on resort is a bit of a miss (not enough simple, local dishes in favor of fancy over-the-top dishes ) although breakfast was lovely and 2 you have to have a car to get to Tropea as the resort is isolated and there is not much to do in terms of activities or entertainment. If the weather is nice, you are in for a treat because their beach staff is impeccable and their grounds are breathtaking.

Nice hotel stayed one night and was nice to feel on holidays Beach pool and amazing sunset

We have just returned from the most amazing 2 weeks holiday to celebrate a special anniversary. The hotel and its grounds are absolutely stunning. The rooms are contemporary yet exceptionally comfortable. Bathroom are lovely - personally I prefer a bath but the shower was excellent. We chose the hotel due to it's location - accessibility to the station and it's food - locally sourced and local specialities. It would have been helpful if staff could have given directions to the station and also bus routes and timetables. It is fair to say if you don't like steep hills this is probably not the ideal location. Food in the main was very good but there were a couple of dishes which were not to our taste. Whilst the buffet was plentiful - 2 nights per week - the hot buffet was tepid - we didn't enjoy buffet and for a hotel of this quality we would prefer a la carte every night. However otherwise excellent locally sourced organic produce including from the hotel garden and good local wines at a reasonable price and a varied 4 course a la carte menu. Breakfast was outstanding - a wide variety of buffet with an omelette, pancake and crepe option cooked to order. Beautiful restaurant overlooking the beach. The beach is nice but would benefit from new sunbeds; the pool area clean with plenty of comfortable sunbeds. Emmanuelle the lifeguard was friendly and helpful. Service was generally good, but on occasion not always consistent. Special mention to Antonella, Antonio, Raffaelle, Guiseppie and Alex. Cleanliness was outstanding - the housekeepers and gardeners were also excellent. The bar was nice but we found wine by the glass expensive compared to a bottle at dinner. We didn't enjoy the entertainment so relaxed by our room on those evenings. Overall a very good stay and we would return.
