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.

Reviewed By Michele K

We loved everything about this fantastic resort. Katerina was wonderful to deal with in the mornings. Sam and Valentina were perfect hosts in the afternoons and evenings and defintely helped make our stay very enjoyable. The other lady, (apologises I can't remember her name) along with the rest of the staff were hard working and very polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure that we had a good vacation. We are hoping to return next year. The view of Stromboli belching gas is our enduring memory of the sunsets during our stay.

Beautiful

Reviewed By italy123456782

This is a lovely hotel with great service. We were very happy with the room, food, and service. Simone and Barbara were wonderful people who were very helpful with every request. The restaurant servers were very nice; pool and bar nice, and the beach was fantastic. Sandy beaches with great fish to see why snorkeling right off the beach area. Restaurants and bars on the beach area and the hotel drives the guests to and from the beach in a golf cart upon request all day. Just a very peaceful place to stay. Upon leaving, they provide a nice gift of jams as a thank you for staying at their hotel. I would go back for sure. It is off the beaten track so, it is quiet and lovely.

Not worth it

Reviewed By agnav2019

It’s hard to find where to begin. We were really struggling to find the positives, but the ones that we picked are: - The hotel is located in beautiful capo vaticano and the views are breathtaking; - The receptionist is a very nice guy, always polite and ready to help; - The room was cleaned and tidied every single day. BUT there were so many negatives.. - Firstly, there was an insane humidity in our room as the room in itself had only one tiny window. Even the bedsheets felt wet and the towels and the room had a smell. We asked to change the room, however it was 150€ extra; - Secondly, there is a hidden fee for - the beach towels, transportation to the beach and the lounge chairs as well as the umbrella on the beach. The so called bus takes you to the beach only three times a day - at 9.30am, at 10am and at 1pm so if you don’t get onto one of those you can find yourself walking down a slippery path down the hill because a four star hotel doesn’t have a normal path to its private beach. Nonetheless, you have to take the towels in the reception and bring them down yourself and then bring them back up again.. Moreover, a four star hotel doesn’t have a toilet on the beach. Thus, the shower is not working properly on the beach; - Thirdly, when we booked the room, it didn’t say that the booking is full board. So apparently breakfast, lunch and dinner were included into the price. But let me tell you this - what a huge disappointment the food was!! We managed to find at least something to eat during breakfast (the coffee from the coffee machine was horrendous), but the dinner was something worth forgetting and the sooner, the better. We would have much rather had an option to choose half board and pay less, than have an unnecessary full board which we never used. - Fourthly, we were supposed to stay there for 5 nights, but ended up checking out after 3. To our disappointment, nobody seemed to care why we have decided to leave and check out earlier, nobody seemed to be bothered to ask what was wrong. All in all, this hotel deserves max 3 stars. The quality doesn’t match the price and it’s definitely not worth the money you are paying.

Caribbean Feeling with Italian touch

Reviewed By GSTreiber16

Caribbean Feeling with Italian touch First, we had an amazing good time in a nice small Hotel, perfect situated close to beach, with amazing Italian fish (and other) food. Very close to the Italian tradition and fare a way from mas tourism and there habit of consumption. Very friendly personal. Would book every time again. The arrival was at 8 am, and we could check-in and we could use our 2 rooms immediately. normally is at 4 pm! One Star! Both rooms where located in small separated apartment. Exceptionally clean, good bed maybe a bit hard matrass (my opinion). Lovely located in a tidy garden. Very silent during day and nights. 2 easy seats and the table outside and a fritsch. Lovely to sit in front of your room, and to pass the the day before you go to sleap. Second Star! Food! Important to me and my wife. We were absolute more then only satisfied. If you like fish and the typical way how Italians serve their food (Starter, First course, separately later the meat or fish as Main, then the dessert) than there is nothing to complain about. You have every day the choise of fish or meat as main dishes. The Morning buffet is for a typical Italian quite big. Normally Italians take a coffee and a biscuit! Third Star! Clean, private beach with plenty of space only a view steps away from your room. With your own sunchair and umbrella (rental is inclouded in room price) with very clear transparently sea! Forth Star! Nice small beach bar with enough space to find a seat under an sunumbrella to enjoy drinks to a resonal price and a perfect view to the see. Fifth Star. To all who wrote a bad Reviews. Nothing in a foreign country is bad just different!

What do you need from your staying?

Reviewed By Matt_5891

If you are looking for a place with relatively new furniture, immaculate arrangements and so on, this is not the right place for you. At the same time, if you are looking for a compromise between price and location, then you should consider staying at Marco Polo. The location is simply stunning, employees are available and Tropea city centre is just 3km away.
