Very Good

What a joke. They advertise all these wonderful amenities and when we arrived there was absolutely nothing available. No spa, no beach, no tennis, no laundry facilities, no hair salon. We would never have stayed here if we had know. When we complained they offered us a free drink! I have complained through the hotel and the refuse to respond and tried to get a refund from Expedia with no luck. Don't go to this hotel if you are expecting lots to do.....there is nothing!
The property was excellent, quiet, comfortable, very clean, great location to relax at. Rooms we're quite big for Europe. The town of Maratea was close to the resort. Staff was very helpful expecially Lina and Roberto.
We loved the view, the pool and staff were very friendly and helpful. If we had to complain it would be the daily music was too loud and the coffee was awful.
We had dinner at the Nuvole, menu a la carte. It was fantastic and we got the best service and food ever! The surroundings of the hotel and the view from there is spectacular, a must see!
The property is large and allows a quality inclusive experience with it's size and elevation. There is a fee to access the beach, but it was still worth the beauty and privacy. We were able to really relax at the hotel and enjoy Maratea. It's an amazing coast.
Staff at the pool were amazing, kids club staff, unreal. Restaurant staff downstairs (only one) kinda rude lacked any speed and seemed upset we even showed up.
Room was fantastic, pool so great seeing you’re staying literally on top of a mountain, be ready for a crazy drive up. With an amazing view when you get there. The front desk staff varies, some amazing and kind and helpful, others when you could find them, seemed to just avoid eye contact and run away…it was strange. We lazed, dreamily by the pool and enjoyed our time. Be aware there is only 1 or 2 restaurants within walking. Both were fantastic we made it to the closest one twice as we refused to eat downstairs more than once. And it was so fantastic we had to go again.
Our daughter didn’t want to leave she had such a fun time with kids club which in turn gave us a good relaxed time as well.
Great views, great service and overall great stay.
We had a very relaxing two night stay. We enjoyed a meal the first evening at the hotel restaurant. Great service and delicious food! I mentioned it was our anniversary trip and they surprised us with a cake for dessert. Also, they are knowledgeable about gluten free requirements and provide gluten free bread upon request. The hotel provides a shuttle to their private beach(not many gluten free food options at the beach snack bar but I was able to get a salad) and also into the town upon request for a small fee. The fee was definitely worth it. The room was basic but comfortable and had a balcony with a view of the ocean. We will stay here again if we are ever able to return to this beautiful town.
Hotel staff was amazing, especially the new manager. Everything was clean. Beautiful views. Very impressed. Need a car in Maratea.

OK, not great.
Old hotel but clean. The reception is grandiose but the rooms are old and basic. Some apparati in the room are so old that they aren't even functional. Figuring out the old air conditioning controls is not obvious. Nonetheless, the room was comfortable. Periodic shuttles to a clean pebble beach was a plus. Nice breakfast. Evening food is so-so, not high quality Italian by any means. Big problem was we paid for a sea view, were not provided one and when we noticed, we were told that there were none available, meaning that our room had been allocated to someone else. A hotel that loses room reservations: not a good sign. The next day, we were moved to another room with sea view but which had less amenities (even though it was slated to be a "superior room"). Management gave us an inexpensive bottle of Asti and some old soft biscotti to compensate, which I personally found to be insulting because they probably figured that dumb tourists wouldn't know the difference. So it was disappointing to say the least.
Worst service in the hotel restaurant we have ever had. Room was ok but the WiFi was worthless and the staff did nothing to improve it. View was lovely. Lots of families with small children. Very noisy even in the room. Very dated decor and furnishings.
Disturbed by local weddings, the swimming pool was closed early for the banquet... The pool was the only modern touch of this resort. The rest of the facilities including the rooms are very outdated and poorly maintained. Location remains the only reason to stay close to the status of Christ the Redeemer of Maratea.
