Labranda Rocca Nettuno Tropea

Beautiful all inclusive with a great pool (hot tubs would have been nice, but they don't have), although we spent all our time on the beach. Bring water shoes for the rocks, no sand. The water was as clear as a swimming pool! Things close early, there's a gate that was closed around 7pm to block access to the beach, and we couldn't use the kayaks or paddle boats between 1 and 330pm, very upsetting. The all inclusive package was nice, although didn't include ice cream at the beach bar. Easy walk into Tropea.

Currently by the beautiful pool on our last afternoon here. The hotel has been one of the best we have ever stayed in. The staff, each and everyone from front desk, restaurants, bar and house keeping, are wonderful! So happy, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We have enjoyed a modern sea view premium double room which has been excellent in size, exceptionally clean each day and breathtaking sea view over Tropea. The pool is beautifully clean, a great size, sunbeds are comfortable and plentiful and the life guard is always on hand so you don’t have to lift a finger. The bar staff are friendly, courtesy and the drinks are plenty. The restaurant is fantastic!! Both the Buffett which is fresh, varied choice, beautifully served and presented. The al a carte is a really pleasurable dining experience, the pianist a wonderful touch. Every single meal has been most enjoyable. The entertainment is varied, just enough to enjoy passing the evening. Positioned overlooking Tropea it is a pleasurable 20min stroll into town and an easy incline but up, we did this most days either in the day or in the evening after dinner, we found the town of Tropea a wonderful vibe. A truly wonderful stay, a hotel and location we would highly recommend.

When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by pleasant reception staff who checked us in and told us to go to lunch and our bags would be in our room after. That was efficient and actually happened! The hotel is very clean and although old very well kept and the gardens and grounds are beautiful. We had a land view room and it was lovely. The bed was comfortable, bathroom a bit dated but clean and did the trick! Plenty of space to unpack and when I requested more hangers they were there promptly. There is one large, clean and bright buffet restaurant. It has indoor and outdoor space a plenty. Pleasant helpful, efficient staff. A huge varied excellent food selection too(we were all inclusive) There are two al-a-carte restaurants. The beach pizzeria, which serve lovely freshly baked pizzas and fresh salads and pastas at lunch time, turns into an al-a-carte restaurant a few nights a week. This is booked the morning before it is open. Ask reception when you arrive. The same applies to the al-a-carte terrace restaurant. This was absolutely fab! And we could book as many times as it was open at no extra cost with the all inclusive package! The food here is really good you can have the house wine which is included or order from a wine list at a cost. The pool area is clean, large, well kept. There are two jacuzzies, plenty of comfortable sunbeds. never a fight for them either. The beach is reached by a lift. that works perfectly. Again plenty of sun beds and life guards to assist. activities and kayaks are free and great fun. The walk into Tropea took about 15 mins but was a pleasant one. It's a lovely town and well worth a visit. We walked to the port down a lot of steps ( not for the less mobile!) then all along the beaches, stopping on the way for refreshments, to our hotel beach. This was also worth doing. We took a trip to Stromboli , active volcano island. So different and again I would recommend. We had a taxi to and from the airport. This took an hour and cost 90EU each way. Very easy. OK so the cons..... considering this was Italy we all thought the house wine on the all inclusive was really poor. Also the entertainment was too. The animation team worked so hard and were lovely but it was all very similar and amateur every night. It would have been better to just have music playing or a DJ so we could dance. Just a suggestion. If you are not mobile this is not the place for you but if you are I would highly recommend it!

We have reserved a week in August, when we arrived in the hotel there was a misunderstanding with the room reservation concerning the view. At the reception there was Antonella that solve the problem within 1 hours , we are very thankful to her , because her help has given a huge contribution to make our holiday unforgettable . Generally all the hotel staff was vey kind and professional. The food is great . The structure is a little dated but with the planned renovation , has the potential to become one of the best structure in Italy. Pierluigi e Alexandra
