    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    This hotel’s perfect if you’re after a bit of R&R – it’s in an out-of-the-way spot overlooking the Med.

    Blue really is the colour at the Bluebay Resort. It’s in the diddy resort of Capo Vaticano, which cosies up to Calabria’s striking turquoise waters.

    A five-minute drive down the winding cliffside road lands you on a bar-backed slither of sand. It’s flanked by a couple of bonus coves on either side, so you’re spoilt for sunbathing choice.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    Not worth it
    17 Jun , 2019 noagna, 186338
    It’s hard to find where to begin. We were really struggling to find the positives, but the ones that we picked are: - The hotel is located in beautiful capo vaticano and the views are breathtaking; - The receptionist is a very nice guy, always polite and ready to help; - The room was cleaned and tidied every single day. BUT there were so many negatives.. - Firstly, there was an insane humidity in our room as the room in itself had only one tiny window. Even the bedsheets felt wet and the towels and the room had a smell. We asked to change the room, however it was 150€ extra; - Secondly, there is a hidden fee for - the beach towels, transportation to the beach and the lounge chairs as well as the umbrella on the beach. The so called bus takes you to the beach only three times a day - at 9.30am, at 10am and at 1pm so if you don’t get onto one of those you can find yourself walking down a slippery path down the hill because a four star hotel doesn’t have a normal path to its private beach. Nonetheless, you have to take the towels in the reception and bring them down yourself and then bring them back up again.. Moreover, a four star hotel doesn’t have a toilet on the beach. Thus, the shower is not working properly on the beach; - Thirdly, when we booked the room, it didn’t say that the booking is full board. So apparently breakfast, lunch and dinner were included into the price. But let me tell you this - what a huge disappointment the food was!! We managed to find at least something to eat during breakfast (the coffee from the coffee machine was horrendous), but the dinner was something worth forgetting and the sooner, the better. We would have much rather had an option to choose half board and pay less, than have an unnecessary full board which we never used. - Fourthly, we were supposed to stay there for 5 nights, but ended up checking out after 3. To our disappointment, nobody seemed to care why we have decided to leave and check out earlier, nobody seemed to be bothered to ask what was wrong. All in all, this hotel deserves max 3 stars. The quality doesn’t match the price and it’s definitely not worth the money you are paying.
    September stay

    This hotel is positioned in a wonderful spot on a cliff with a view to the see. I found it very comfortable and loved the rooms. Not to mention the restaurant and food provided by the hotel in general was excellent, full of local specialities and fresh. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel runs a small bus which can take you to the beach for free. This was our experience
    Big hotel relies on stunning views but not the basics

    Absolutely agree with Christian. Very large hotel, views are stunning, beach was lovely and service at the beach excellent (the beach guy works very hard to keep customers happy). However, Our r oom was hot, air con not working properly, fridge not working either. Breakfast was very disappointing, no fresh food at 9.30, not much choice and low standard buffet, coffee from a machine was not nice and tasted terrible. We upgraded to a deluxe room on arrival but was noisy and not worth it bearing in mind we wanted a peaceful stay. This hotel could be really nice but it needs some changes.
    Think twice 🤔

    Positive : wonderful view over the ocean and you can see Messina and the island of Sicily. On the other hand there's so much space for improvements. No fresh fruits or eggs for breakfast. Choice is very limited and no vegetarian options available. Coffee comes out of a machine and definitely no recommendation. The is no flair in the restaurant, looks more than a train station or youth hostel. Overall: old fashioned style, too expensive for the offered rooms and service. Hidden extra costs 5€ per day for the beach. These hidden extra costs doesn't make sense at all and are a trap, as you have to pay. Our recommendation: ok for 1-2 nights, heading to somewhere else
    SUPER .. SUPER .. SUPER ..

    Siamo stati 2 settimane (12-26settembre), al Blue Bay Resort e possiamo consigliarlo vivamente. Panorama SUPER, vedi etichetta "Amaro del Capo". Cibo SUPER .. sempre vario e molto ben preparato dallo Chef. Cordialità e gentilezza SUPER .. da parte di tutto il personale e dalla direzione. Ci siamo sentiti sempre ben accolti. Purtroppo io ho avuto un serio problema di salute che ha comportato il ricovero urgente in ospedale per 3 giorni. In quei momenti difficili, sia io che mia moglie, siamo stati oggetto di attenzioni straordinarie da parte di tutto il personale e da parte della direttice. Ne siamo molto grati. Credo che questo faccia veramente la differenza. Nonostante l'imprevisto ci siamo veramente rilassati anche osservando e fotografando il panorama. Il mare sotto il Resort è bellissimo, la "Costa degli Dei" .. Acqua limpida, sabbia e scogliere stupende. Consiglio la gita alle Eolie, con giro intorno a Panarea e a Stromboli (si può osservare l'attività vulcanica dal mare, di giorno e di notte). Animazione soft, veramente brava la cantante.
