Solemare Club Village

I just came back from a holiday from this hotel and honestly my mood it very mixed about this trip. Would I recommend other travellers to stay in this hotel? No. Was my holiday completely ruined? Also, no, but definitely wasnt the most pleasurable experience, for all the travellers we traveled together (we travelled with 9 other families and everyone was very disapointed). Here are some of the good and bad point of this hotel. Plus: very very lovely staff, especially Daniel and Marco, but everyone else was super helpful also, they really help this hotel and deserve a promotion they are awesome. I didnt encaunter a situation then they would be rude or not helpful, staff was the best part of this hotel. Big pool area, very close to the sea, hotel staff can orginize a car for you and their driver can drive you to another cities for a little fee. Coins: hotel policies are really rasist. We arrived at Saturday (9 couples from Lithuania) and also a lot of Polish tourist and we were given absolutely worst rooms you can ever imagine. Like 1 or 2 stars: some people didnt have electricity at all, bugs infested, no hot water, all dirty and old, water running from the toilet, toilet itself was all covered in you understand what and never cleaned and overoll it looked more like a room for cleaners when for travellers while there where plenty standart better rooms which was emty. On Thursday we understood why: the 30 travellers from Germany arrived and they all were given nicer rooms, first rows at the beach ( we were given the last row at the beach even know first 3 rows very completely emply), garden area to eat at the beach (we had to eat inside because it was also reserved for the german pll). The food from Saturday till Germans arrived was completely disgusting and not eatable, but after they arrived it changed completely and even the tables very decorated like its some kind of celebration. Also the animation team were at the entrance and great them in their language. I could go on about this topic, but I think the reader got the point. Another big coin: the hotel is situated down the very big hill, so if you want to go some where and see the beaches which was advertise prepared to climb a lot or pay hotel to drive you there. Also Capo Vaticano is really a village where not a lot of things to see, I would reccomend to stay in Tropea, in Tropea you will find everything you are looking for from beautiful clear beaches, to museums and restourants. Another unoleasant thing about the hotel - pool caps is mandstory in the pool, and I think its the only hotel with this policy. Water in the taps are salty (probably from the Sea) so you cannot drink it and have to buy bottled water. Food which is given at the breafast, lunch and dinner absolutely a night are, would not reccomend to anoyone, better dont buy the food there and buy a food in the separe restaurant in a hotel the one with a parrots cage- the food is good and not expensive there. All in all I recc
