  Perfect Honeymoon

  17 Aug 2026

  We had 10 nights at this wonderful hotel for our honeymoon and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is lovely, the pool was really nice, and there was always a lounger available. The shuttle service to town and the beach was great, and good value compared to local taxis or Uber after 7 pm. We had a Superior Room (313), which was nice if not outstanding. The shower was fantastic and the air con very good, if a little noisy on lower settings. Considering the heat, it would be nice to get fresh bottled water every day, which is something I have had at other hotels in the past, but this is a very minor quibble. Lemon and Orange water were available at reception. The best thing about this hotel by far was the wonderful and friendly staff. The reception team were so helpful and patient with us. Their help with booking the beach and shuttle services, as well as arranging the shuttle for alternative times, or booking us a taxi if that wasn't possible, really helped make the holiday. I always feel awkward and embarrassed when I don't speak the language, but the ladies on the front desk were so kind, helpful, and funny, and put us both at ease and allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience.Due to the extreme heat we avoided the walk into town even though it wasn't far and took advantage of the shuttle service. The drivers were helpful and friendly as well, and with only one exception, always very prompt. The staff at the Beach club were also very friendly and helpful. While paying 40 Euros for 2 beds and an Umbrella may seem steep to us Brits lucky enough to enjoy free beaches, most Italian beaches are privately owned, and so this is just how it is. When you take into account the quality of the beach club, clean toilets, showers and changing rooms, as well as a guaranteed bit of shade and a lounger, it's actually not bad at all. The beach isn't sandy and I would recommend a pair of beach shoes from one of the vendors on the beach; 15 Euros well spent!The Breakfast at the hotel was nice, with lots of options, including an omelette station which was a nice surprise, although maybe more variations on the omelettes available would be good, as delicious as the red onions are, a ham and cheese would have been a treat!Overall we had a wonderful stay, Tropea is beautiful, vibrant and somewhere we will hopefully return to, and when we do we will absolutely stay at this hotel again. Once again I really want to thank all of the staff, and to praise them for their fantastic work!

  Lovely hotel, no complaints

  01 Aug 2026

  We really enjoyed our stay, we had a lovely room (202) very close to the pool. I wouldn’t have minded some draw space in the room, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Convenient location, the main town is a 10 minute walk down a well lit road, but the hotel offers free shuttle services before 7pm which was handy in the heat. Staff were very friendly and everything was just easy. I personally think water and pool towels should be free but oh well, it didn’t put us off. Very peaceful relaxed vibes. We would most definitely return, Tropea is beautiful.Breakfast was really busy most days but the staff were really good at turning round the tables and keeping the food topped up. A good variety of food (but no baked beans for us British folk!)

  A gem in Tropea ??

  24 Jul 2026

  An absolute gem in Tropea!Our stay at Sentido Michelizia Resort was nothing short of fantastic. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the staff. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. The warmth, friendliness and attentiveness of the team perfectly reflect southern Italian hospitality. They don’t treat you like guests – they treat you like friends.A special mention goes to the wonderful reception team, especially Maria and Natalia, who were always kind, helpful and happy to assist with anything we needed. The restaurant manager was impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly, while Sam and Arami in the restaurant made every meal enjoyable with their friendly and cheerful personalities. Angelo and Francesco at the pool bar were equally fantastic. What really stood out was that every member of staff took the time to greet us and make us feel valued throughout our stay.The location is excellent – just a 10-minute walk into the beautiful centre of Tropea, making it easy to explore the town while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the resort. There’s also a large free car park, which is ideal if you want to hire a car and discover more of Calabria. We used Target Rental, who conveniently delivered and collected the car directly from the hotel.We stayed in a Superior Room, which was spacious, comfortable and very well maintained. It featured a powerful shower, minibar, TV and an extremely comfortable bed. Housekeeping did an excellent job, with the room cleaned to a high standard every day.The food was outstanding throughout our stay. Breakfast offered an impressive selection of fresh pastries, fruit, cakes, yoghurts, salads, cold meats, cheeses and fresh juices, with plenty of choice for every taste.Dinner was equally impressive. The buffet starters included a huge variety of delicious options, followed by a live pasta cooking station serving freshly prepared pasta dishes that changed daily. There was also an excellent selection of hot dishes, including meats, fish, prawns and vegetables. To finish, there were tempting cakes and some truly delicious gelato.Sentido Michelizia Resort exceeded our expectations in every way. With its fantastic location, comfortable rooms, excellent food and, above all, its exceptional staff, it is a hotel we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tropea.A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special and creating memories we will cherish for a long time. We can’t wait to return.

  WORST HOTEL ROOM EVER!

  17 Jul 2026

  The grounds to this hotel/resort looked lovely on first impression. Upon a closer look the potted plants around the site were sadly dried out and dying due to lack of care and maintenance. Moving onto the room, which was more than a disappointment. Unless you secure a pool front room facing the sea ( which is actually not within walking distance) you need to expect to be very disappointed! Our room, unbelievably, didn’t even have a mirror or set of drawers. The hanging space for two people for two weeks was wholly inadequate, and set in a cheaply put together open wardrobe. Some guests we spoke to were in rooms below ground level and couldn’t even get their swimsuits dry. They mentioned the bed clothes were damp and the musty smell in the room was sickening. We were told these were room numbers 101-103 and when we mentioned this to the manager… he agreed that these rooms were not fit for purpose and need to be taken out of commission. It’s really hard to believe this is a 4 star rated hotel, an issue we have taken up with TUI. The pool area is quite nice, with an infinity pool overhanging a leisurised swimming pool. However, the paved area around the pool bar is a health and safety hazard! On our first day, my husband fell stepping onto a broken flag stone and injured his hand and back. The manager quickly appeared and applied a bandaid plaster to my husband’s hand. He also removed the broken flagstone without delay! Later in the week, he thanked us for our complaints, which was apparently going to support his argument for improvements to the site which he’d requested earlier with the Valentour Group. We could not fault the staff as they were all very professional and supportive. As we were so disappointed with Sentido Michelizia Tropea (by the way, this was our third holiday to Calabria), we stayed at the Le Roccette Mare hotel which is in a fabulous location and IS on the beach in Tropea. We later found out that this hotel is also owned by the Valentour Group. We also noticed that if you search Sentido Michelizia Tropea, some sites show photographs of the beach at Le Roccette Mare Hotel, which it totally misleading, so please tread with caution when booking these hotels. Incidentally, whilst looking back on Tripadvisor reviews, I noticed the owner of the Valentour Group had replied to a guest of Sentido Michelizia in 2024. As a former trainer in Customer Services, I was appalled at her attitude and astonished at the lack of customer care and acceptance of a need to improve. The person’s comments in that 2024 review were unfortunately reflective of our experience two years later. Surely, owners and management of a hotel group that are continually disappointing holiday makers are in no position to tell guest reviewers that they do not like their tone! Such arrogance is beyond belief! I could go on with other disappointing aspects of this hotel/resort ( not least the boring repetitive menu, with limited gluten free options), but will leave it as it is. Having travelled the length and breadth of Italy, with three visits to Calabria and returning to northern Italy in the autumn, unfortunately, we would certainly not recommend this hotel! Thank you to all the lovely staff who tried to make the best of a bad situation.
