As an American I would compare this to Marriot Harbor beach FL or any large Miami resorts, obviously more relaxed vibe. It is beautiful, water is clear and turquoise, but might need beach shoes because of little pebbles. Just know that Italian hotels don't have irons in the rooms. You cam get drinks and food on the beach or simply eat by the outdoor restaurant. We went into tropea for dinner. Tropea is about a 15 min car ride...I would book again but for a family of 4 it was so expensive...didn't even pay that at the Fountainblue! I think for 2 people it should be reasonable. I would give 4 stars based on price but the hotel deserves 5.

I would like to tell you objective facts regarding this hotel: it is hotel only for seniors and you will find it hard to meet young people there. There are not any amenities for children, no playground, deep swimming pool.. The closest supermarket is 20 min walk (downhill, uphill), beach 30 min walk. There is a minibus from the hotel to the beach, but this beach is crowdy full of umbrelas. The water is crystal clear though. We did not want to stay ar overcrowded beach so we were walking 30 min to a different beach. The area around the hotel is like end of the world. No restaurants, no shops, so in the evening you have nowhete to take a walk, imagine just village with nothing to see and do except the beautiful sea and you are there. The train station is 30 min walk. The hotel bus can take you there for 3 euros each way. We were told the minibus goes to the beach every 30 min, but when we were there they changed it for once an hour in some hours. It happened we were waiting for the minubus but it did not arrive. Breakfast is youghurt,croissants, cheese,ham and bread, no vegetables. Dinnes consists of a bufet which is pretty good and 2 courses you have to wait for the courses to be served so it means you have to wait a long time sometimes. The meals served on plates are not that good once they served us a canned cold tuna as a meal, so we rathet ate from a bufet which mainly included varieties of cooked, roasted vegetables but not much meat ...during the dinner watter is not included you are charged extra for it. Check your bill at reception continuesly as they tried to charge us for things we did not even order like a beer. Also happened that we ordered a sparkling water and a waiter brought us a still watter,we refused it, he apologized and brought the correct sparkling watter which would be ok but on the bill they charged us for both watters. If you do not give a tip to a waiter count with being served as the last table. The room was simple with no aircodatition ( you have to pay extra for it) with a high huminidy. There are a lot of moscitos in the area. The possitive was a beautiful clear sea but I would not go back nor to the area nor to the hotel.
