Tui Blue Tropea

Nice not too big hotel...nice location but a bit remote. If you want to see something of Calabria then renting a car is a must. Breakfast by Italian standards extensive and very tasty. Dinner is also always neat and tasty. Warm welcome by the lovely tui lady. Staff all very friendly. Rooms neat and the jacuzzi makes it complete.

This hotel provides a really disgusting level of service and doesn’t deserve 4 stars. In my opinion, it is not even up to 3 stars. The most disgusting feature of this resort is the non-WLAN: Though advertised as readily available, it is either unavailable at all or too slow for any meaningful online activity. I’m writing this in my Hotel room on my iPhone using a mobile network! Next, the food is extremely biased towards seafood and fish and meat eaters will have a hard time here. Further, the restaurant service is unenthusiastic to say the least. On two evenings, there was a set menu which took several hours to finish. I just don’t have that much time for dinner! Live music was playing in such a noisy way that I needed to wear hearing protection in order to save what is left of my hearing. There is a strict regime at the pool and moving deck chairs into the garden is frowned upon on. The architecture of the resort is poor and looks like a concrete brutalist 70s design. I could go on and on. Of course the view on the sea is great, and the weather is fantastic. I guess it’s the only things the management was unable to mess up.

We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights as part of a greater trip through the south of Italy. Hotel: The hotel location is great with a direct view to the sea, the coast line and the Stromboli island. The access to the beach is possible directly from the hotel within a 15 min walk or thanks to the regular shuttle service provided by the hotel. The service at the beach is also great offering drinks, snacks as well as a safe and private access to the sea. Food and Beverages: The hotel offers a main restaurant serving mainly as a buffet which is well diversified and tasty. A second à la carte restaurant is available for customer once per stay. The bar offers a wide range of drinks including wine and cocktails at reasonable prices. Room: The room is spacious and comfortable. It is however lacking storage room, furnitures and lights. E.g. a double bedroom only has one chair to sit on. Alternatively, if both guests wish to sit at the same time, they either can sit on the toilets or on the bed. Room is furnished with very basic (and obviously cheap) equipment. Service: The overall level of service at the restaurants and bars is very good with friendly and available staff. The same goes with the pool and beach. A special thank to Francesca who's caring about each customer and making sure everyone's satisfied When it comes to other services like maintenance and housekeeping, it did not come to our satisfaction. In the first days of our stay, we highlighted a defective cloth drying rack and ask for it to be changed as it could not be used. 3 days later and after 3 reminders, the rack was still not changed. Similar lack of response to get the bedsheets changed. We requested it to be done through their app but had to claim it at the reception 2 days later as the request remained opened in the app. The concept of having an app to book services is good on the principle but remains useless in this hotel. Our requests were only taken care of after having repetitively complained directly at the reception. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel but wish that the few issues we encountered would have been taken care of in a smooth way.
