Blu Tropical Resort

The hotel is conveniently situated half way between Tropea and Pizzo which are both beautiful towns to visit. The staff are charming and very helpful. The rooms are clean and have nice balconies with a view of the sea. The pool was absolutely wonderful — very clean and surrounded by beautiful planting.
I would have given a full 5/5 except for the Wi-Fi.

NO PET FRIENDLY / BIG CHARGES.
We booked a pet friendly hotel on and it was written that there are 12 rooms in the hotel situated on 2 floors. The animal service was to be free of charge and the payment for the animal was to be 10 eur for day. During check out they informed us that we are to pay 120 eur for a dog because those 12 rooms in the hotel are not pet friendly and that 350 m from the hotel there is „camping” beach residence which is pet friendly. So the hotel is not pet friendly at all. We were told also at the reception desk that their beach is not pet friendly too. We have well trained small dog — not noisy or else and we were told that other guests claimed for our dog. The dog was with us 24/7 and was so quiet that the children in the restaurant and on the beach were much more visible than a small chihuahua.
We spent 4, 5 hour at the reception lobby trying to solve a situation but without result. At last we paid 70 eur for animal insted of written 20 eur. There was a lot of stress not worth it. We were offered a plastic bottled water after 3 hours of staying in not air conditioned lobby with extreme high temperatures in Zambrone Region.
BEACH.
The hotel is divided into 2 places: hotel is upper (350 m from the beach), beach, pool, restaurant is near the beach. This is not a real beach hotel as you need to walk along public road.
We haven’t received any beach towels on the beach eventhough we paid for that as „club charge”.

You must visit Blu Tropical!
The hotel is beautiful, clean and facilities the best in Calabria.
My family stayed here for two weeks in August and are already planning our next visit.
Our apartment :
We stayed in a two room apartment that has everything you need, including a great patio area for outdoor dining. The apartment was cleaned every day and fresh towels given. Air con in the apartment was brilliant and very welcomed after a boiling day by the sea.
Swimming pool :
The swimming pool is stunning! Set amongst green trees and palm plants. Beautifully clean and great for the family. A shallow end for my son to swim in too! Aqua fit in the morning was excellent.
Just a note to say, you have to wear a swim cap — €5 at the bar.
The beach:
Wow! The best I’ve ever seen in Calabria!
Clear blue water and spotless. We had a front row Umbrella and beach seat which was ideal. Most days we could see the incredible Stromboli volcano in the distance. Never too busy and always plenty of seats and space for all.
Food:
The food at this hotel is delicious! I’m a real foody and enjoyed the variety and traditional Italian cuisine. Each morning we would chose our 3 course meal for the evening and there was always plenty on offer from meat, fish, pasta and salads. The beach bar is excellent too serving pizza, aranchini and much more.
Breakfast was lovely, hot eggs and bacon along with a huge choice of cakes, cold meats and cheese.
Staff:
The staff at this hotel are incredible!

From the first moment you arrive at Blu Tropical you know you have made a great choice! This hotel is beautifully and tastefully decorated and furnished with high quality fixtures and fittings, built on an amazing elevated location with sweeping panoramic sea views. The room was extremely clean and quiet, comfortable and serviced daily. The breakfast is an absolutely delightful experience, fresh fruit and pastries which change each day, eggs, cold meat and cheese and of course excellent Italian coffee. The staff are helpful, friendly and professional. I want to mention Ilenia who worked at the front desk and helped us with arrangements before our arrival and throughout our stay. The beach area is perfectly maintained and has a swimming pool, restaurant and bar area and a little mini club for the children. The water is clear, calm and clean. I wish to thank Blu Tropical management and staff for providing us with one of the best holidays ever and we look forward to returning again! Ciao.

Beautiful little seaside hotel! We stayed here for four nights with our two year old and it is perfect. The residences are equipped with a basic kitchen, and have lovely outdoor seating. The residence rooms are also very close to the pool and beach, with parking nearby.
The beach is just lovely. Lots of waves so not always equipped for swimming, but very relaxing and well maintained.
The pool is nice and there is lots of seating. The snack bar on the beach is lovely too. Sandwiches for 4-5 euro.

Structure with excellent and efficient services, of absolute quality, clean, courteous staff and attentive to customer needs, attention to detail.
Quality restaurant, definitely one of the top range facilities in the resort of Tropea.
Very very competitive prices and perhaps even low, compared to other facilities with excellent services.

Beautiful location, good animators (although they were only two! ), clean sea and comfortable pool. Comfortable accommodation surrounded by greenery, but… Several unwanted guests: the mice nn should ABSOLUTELY stay inside the houses, gnawing any and leaving their crappy excrement … Places like this, in the open countryside, need frequent derattization! to nn talk about the total non-compliance with the anti-covid rules … strongly discouraged!

Magnificent place attentive and qualified staff, level kitchen. Clean and well maintained hotel in a strategic location… I can't wait to get back… to recommend absolutely.

Our family enjoyed so much the beautiful beach, the swimming pool and the restaurant. We had a great stay, it’s a perfect located hotel with all services you may need for great holidays. The staff is very welcoming and professional, specially the owner Alessio, very caring and available at all times. Everything is maintained very clean, all Covid19 measures respected. Highly recommended! Thank you and see you next summer! ☀️

Beautiful property, great food and top-notch amenities.
Really friendly staff.
Nice lido and beach.
Good!

Beautiful, comfortable, very green, kind people, recommended.

That's right, where the gods reign and the Sun bows. But the Gods are the owners of this property, fabulous and professional. All magically perfect and cared for in the smallest detail. Vote 10 and praise!

Beautiful Hotel with wonderful staff! The location on the hillside offers a magnificent view on the sea and the Stromboli. The Pool and beach area are crowded in September at all. Pure relaxation! Tommy and Chetty care very good care of their guests and Carlo and Catarina are also very sweet and attentive! We felt completely at ease and this vacation very enjoyed! Thank you to all of you!
