"My experience at the Popilia Country Resort was quite satisfactory. The facility is beautiful, the staff very friendly (special thanks to Giuseppe at the front desk, who resolved a problem quickly). We enjoyed the spa, which allowed us to spend two pleasant and completely relaxing hours. I would happily return. I highly recommend it."

"New, well-appointed rooms created from an old, typical house. The rooms are well-furnished, without too many frills, clean, with excellent lighting. The staff is young, motivated and friendly, and the breakfast room is simple. I will definitely be back."

"Qualidade excelente preço. Quartos simples mas com tudo o essencial . Atado ao mar , o bar abaixo é excelente e muito famoso em pizza . Tartaruga realmente bom . Estacionamento gratuito. Os titulares conhecê-los bem e são pessoas realmente maravilhosas. Perto do centro de pizza em apenas 5 minutos no carro. Por um período de poucos dias, eu certamente voltarei."

"It was notable that a number of staff we spoke to during our 11 night stay at TUI Magic Life Calabria encouraged us and other guests to write a Trip Adviser report about their holiday experience at the resort - repeated again to those of us on the coach as we left to return home. Subsequently I’ve received a further email from TUI Magic Life urging recipients to write a Tripadvisor report. This seems like overkill or desperation. To issue repeated requests and/or reminders suggests 1) that there is some uncertainty over what the resort currently provides and 2) a desperate need to both advertise and improve its reputation - which is also a sign of increased competition. That said, it’s no secret that all holiday resorts harbour ambitions to become a default destination and the TUI Magic Life brand shares that aim. According to staff we spoke to, TUI Magic Life provides self-contained facilities in beautiful but isolated locations. The one in Calabria is exactly that: surrounded by stunning scenery, with its own section of forest, a large private beach and a complex boasting three swimming pools (1 for tiny tots, 1 exclusively for adults and a main one for families ) plus a superb ‘Splash park’; it has a lot to offer, including many outdoor activities for young, active families. Yet my wife and I are both in our 70s with a 6 year-old granddaughter, so we aren’t in that category. We chose this resort on the basis of its location, Kids Club and Splash Park and its ‘all inclusive’ deal. Many people have highlighted its cleanliness, which is exceptional. We saw no litter or mess of any kind, just a lot of staff quietly appearing to tidy, wipe and sweep wherever necessary. It was surreptitious, ubiquitous and effective. Indeed, all the staff must be commended - whatever their role - as all were courteous and friendly. The accommodation blocks offer good sized rooms with modern bathrooms and feature a fridge, safe, TV and free Wifi. Ground floor rooms have an outside sitting space with four chairs and a table, while first floor rooms have a balcony with table and chairs. We had a first-floor, split-level family room with a balcony - the ‘split level’ meaning it had a staircase to a second room in the roof, big enough for two and ideal for our granddaughter and an extra TV. Generally speaking this was fine, but not everything was perfect. Personally speaking we found the beds rather uncomfortable and firm and in need of additional pillows (which we requested and received). We also wondered if a foam ‘topper’ could be requested to soften the mattress, but didn’t ask. There were no beverage making facilities in the room, which was a shame and an omission also criticised by other guests we spoke to. Perhaps the most concerning was the glass-smooth shower tray, which was dangerously slippery when wet. We therefore resorted to laying a towel on it to provide some grip while washing. This prompted us to request a shower mat, but it was only 30 centi"

"We stayed at the Galia with our 1 year old child, although it is not a family hotel we had a great time. The staff is welcoming and always available, paying attention to every detail. The proximity to the sea (you cross the road and you are on the beach) is a plus, it's a shame they don't have their own beach, but only an agreement with one of the two beaches in front. The excellent, quality cuisine and the staff in the dining room are super, especially Mrs. Anna Maria who won over our child with her sweetness and made our stay even more beautiful. We hope to return soon to relive the serenity and relaxation of this holiday."

"A casa está novamente renovada e é nova. As quartos são espaçosas e bem designadas. Os hospedeiros Pino e Christina são muito amigáveis e úteis. É segredo, como gostamos, mas muito perto de uma bela cidade, Pizzo. Nós reservamos para um descanso nocturno no nosso caminho de Palermo para Bari. Se soubessemos que era tão bom que tínhamos reservado mais tempo."

"A Pele é UMA Cidade Muito tranquila. O quarto do hotel é Muito grande, área grande, limpo e limpo, o sol no Mar é tão bonito, e há UMA Noite de lamentação, recomendado!"
