  Good hotel on the beach in Italy

  We (2 adults) stayed in EuroLido hotel Sept 5-8, 2011. The hotel is in little town of Falerna, I would say on the outskirts of the town. Getting there: there is no bus going to/from hotel (there are no bus stops anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel). We took the taxi from the Lamezia train station and got charged 40 EUR (I've inquired with the hotel before arrival and they emailed that I should expect 30-35EUR taxi ride). It takes about 15-20 min to reach the hotel by taxi. Location: the hotel is really a resort where the main building is across the street from the beach. One side of the hotel faces the beach(just you have to cross a narrow road via the underground passage that connect sthe hotel territory with the beach). Another side of the hotel faces the mountains and sadly the railroad which is very close by. If you are unlucky to have a room facing the railroad side, you will hear the trains passing by the hotel(it is noisy and often, including at night). The area is not very populated around the hotel, there are no stores, no supermarkets, no restaurants anywhere in the vicinity of the hotel. There is gas station with a little snacks stand right across the hotel(you can buy bottle water, ice-cream, some smokes...this is it). The building: pretty outdated, the hallways are long and dark, the rooms are of average size(not too large), have older furniture, including very small TV, single beds(we had 2), a balcony facing the beach(if you have 3/4/5 floor), large bathroom with shower only(very small inclosure..), bidet, toilet, etc. The shampoo/conditioner are provided in a very small quantities. The towels are not very good/modern but are changed every day. The room cleaning is daily and of decent quality. You have to bring your own beach towels. Beach: right across the road from the hotel. There is a underground underpass connecting the hotel territory(where there is a pool, tennis courts, soccer and basketball fields, the open air theatre) with the beach,so it is very safe for the kids to access the beach without crossing the very busy road. Beach is sandy, pretty wide, and the sunbeds and umbrellas are provided for free(were included in the hotel room charges). You have to ask for the beach armband at the hotel reception. The sea is very beautiful, crystal clear and very warm in Aug/early Sept(about 23-24C). Some days, there were waves, not too big. There was a little snack shop with sodas, water, ice-cream right at the beach. The beach usage is limited to the hotel guests although there were some locals in the area adjacent to the hotel beach. The service by the beach attendant/lifeguard was OK. The lifeguard was on duty most of the time although not always paying the attention to the swimmers. Food: breakfast was included in the room rate, included some cheese and not very good ham, lots of crossants, butter, spreads, couple of cereals/milk, several juices(not very good quality), coffee/tea machine with not a very good coffee. There were no eggs/no "hot buffet", no vegetables during breakfast. There were some canned fruits. Some of the days, the food was gone by the time we come(about 9:00) so we had to ask to bring the additional food for us. Lunch and dinner were not included but could be added to your stay for 20 EUR per person per meal. both lunch and dinner were the buffet style, lots of vegentables, at least one meat and one fish dish, couple of pasta dishes, one soup at dinner, bottled water and a bottle of wine is included in the price. the food is more of 'home country' style, not the type of dishes you would find in the tourist restaurants. In general, the food was quite good for the money, especially considering the fact that there were no alternative places to eat anywhere near the hotel. Service in the restaurant is quite good and friendly. Activities: there was an animation team of 7-10 people, mostly young boys/girls of 19-25 years old, who were organizing/conducting all kinds of games/activities on the beach, near the pool and conducted some performances in the evening. In general, they were very friendly, spent lots of time and energy with kids. Some spoke some limited English, mostly Italian only. The tennis court, the basketball court, the 2 soccer fields, ping pong table, the large swimming pool were available for kids and adults usage. Most of the evening entertainment was quite cheesy and in Italian language only. Service: nobody speaks any English(with the exception of few words here and there) in the hotel. We were the only 2 americans in the hotel and when I asked if they've seen any during the summer, the answer was "not really". So, the hotel mostly serves italians(lots of them from the surrounding areas, Sicily..). Most of the Italians had the "all-inclusive" package that covered breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want lots of "action", this is not the place. If you'd like just to relax and enjoy the beach/the sea-this is a decent place to stay at. Having a car would provide you with some choices of food-you could drive to Falerna..only few minutes drive. The Lamezia airport is 20 minutes away by taxi(25EUR). Overall, if you find a good deal(especially if it includes lunch and/or dinner), the hotel is a good deal for families.

  eurolido

  We have stayed here twice the last time being sept 11, we got a good deal, and could not complain at all, the hotel is a little dated, but very clean,comfy beds and nice linen. Breakfast was a bit limited , but evening meal was way above what we expected for what we paided location is nice overlooking the sea, but you really need a car if you want to visit other restaurants.Good staff very helpful. noise from the train line at the back was not a problem ask for a room on the front.Good pool area and nicely kept gardens .the tv's could do with being updated as our's was only a portable. All in all a very pleasant hotel at a good price l would imagine to visit in season there would be a lot more going on in the area as it was quiet when we visited.

  Eurolido deceiving name!

  Our family arrived with a reservation for 4rooms, a group of 11 in June. It was 230pm in the afternoon and our rooms weren't ready, no problem we said we'd go to the beach or the pool. We were told that would be 5euro per person to use the beach AND 5euro per person to use the pool... Thought that was a little strange but okay.. Until our tour guide heard about it amd in Italian asked "why" , suddenly ok it's 5 euro to use either. You can imagine a family of 11 has a bit of luggage, we had set it aside in the lobby and suddenly, oh" your rooms are ready". After she handed us keys, the receptionist explained that beach and pool towels would be 3euro each, and you have to purchase them at the store across the highway but they are closed until 3 or 330pm.. We didn't have a lot of tome before our evening activities.. Our driver and guide were graciously coming back to take us to a Festa in La Mezia. So some of us went to the pool, after being yelled at for not having bathing caps and told we not only had to have them but had to purchase them, we went to the beach. There were several rows of chairs and no one else there. My parents went to sit in the front row so they could watch their grandchildren and enjoy the view of the sea. They were told by the young man from the hotel that they couldn't sit there, they were reserved! He was probably looking for a tip but at the time we were tired from a day of travel and worn from our check in experience and probably felt that the 5euros per person was plenty. Iforgot to mention that the bartender in the lobby had only three of us moms standing there to serve for a few minutes, he decided to turn around to serve the party of 7 that just walked up instead, by the time they had their cappuccinos made for them, our desire for a proseco toast was gone! So after the beach we head up to the room, I happened to take the stairway and as I passed the second floor, it was completely dar, I passed the third floor, it was completely dark..we were the only occupants on the fourth floor.. I realized this is probably a very busy place (worn indoor/outdoor carpet on the staircase) in a few weeks during the height of the season, but why wouldn't you be more grateful to have guests and be ready for them when your property is empty amd it's obvious the economy in this part of the country isn't doing so well? We are a generous family and had a beautiful trip to Italy! The people were amazing everywhere, but I'm sorry to say, in this town where we went to see my grandfathers roots, we weren't welcomed very well. I don't know why these rooms get 4stsrs on other sites.. They are probably perfect for beach goers but even my 15 son didn't care for the accommodations. So glad it was only one night!

  Do not go out of the summer

  People in the hotel are very kind. That hotel is about one hour far from Tropea. The problem is that I stayed there in May. This is not the best part to the year to stay there. The swimming pool was impracticable. Another terrible problem: the WI-FI simply does not work.
