Capovaticano Resort Thalasso Spa

This is first Resort that looks so much better real than in pictures.. It is beauty that can not be descreibed. One of best Hotels in whole Italy.. Location, beach, pool and hotel stuff just perfect. Cleaning Lady has closed my bottel wine that i forget. So much dedicated to details.. We are coming back 😊

Beautiful view, from our room, needs to upgrade on the room service food, Breakfast was absolutely delicious, And Antonio is a awesome cook.

Very relaxing stay: the sympathy and availability of the staff, the sea, the Spa, these points were really perfect.
On the other hand, the hotel highlights "sustainability", "local", "organic" without this being the case. For example, the breakfast eggs are code "3" (16 chickens per 1m²) and the dive staff advised me to give some bread to bring in the fish when I dive...
I agree with other opinions, the food can be greatly improved given the culinary richness of the region
Thank you to all the staff (reception, Spa and servers), to the yoga teacher, it was great!

Maybe the best hotel in this area. Clean, comfortable and good service. The spa is very nice as well!
Recommended!

Beautiful resort and a phenomenal beach. The rooms are pretty nice and well furnished and equipped. Certain services could use some help especially breakfast service in the morning. If you are noisy and waving your hands, the waiter may notice you. Once you order a hot drink, expect to wait for it for another 20 minutes since they have only one barista. And that's unacceptable in a claimed 5 star hotel.

This resort is simply fantastic. If you wish to disconnect from the world for a while, if you wish to spend some time near glorious, most beautiful water, while experiencing polished and friendly service, then come stay here.

The facility itself is located right on the water, so there is only a short walk from your room to the pool or the beach. The hotel is shaped like the letter “S” with some rooms facing the sea and some facing the garden. This is a huge property with tennis courts, two restaurants, a large pool, an enormous spa, gym, car parks, etc.

I’d be remiss if I did not mention how polished and friendly the service was. Most excellent.

The breakfast was fabulous with hot and cold choices and everything in-between.
Lunch could be had at the beach-side bar/restaurant and the menu was static. Food was excellent, albeit a bit on a pricier side. If you have a car, you could go to any one of many local restaurants a short drive away.
Dinner was served at the main restaurant and some dishes were spot on and some were a bit of a miss. Overall, the food was about 3 out of 5 (we have accumulated a substantial sample size across Italy).

The rooms (and the whole facility) were super clean. The beach was wonderful. You could get a kayak and row to Capo Vaticano itself. You could watch sunset while having an aperitivo. You could go to Tropea. You could do a boat tour. Or you could veg at the beach.

Overall, we had a blast and will definitely return. ❤️❤️❤️

PROS:
- true luxury amenities/ comforts.
- great peaceful location private beach away from the crowds of Tropea.
- A/C & rainfall shower was amazing during the heatwave.
- Spa was so luxurious, relaxing and healing.
- Courtesy, helpfulness friendliness of staff was appreciated.
- Matineo breakfast had good variety / quality of choices.
- Strombolichio was memorable and so romantic with live music and watching the sunset by infinity pool.

CONS:
- Very uptight about rules in general.
- Cheap with bottled water even during 100*+ weather.
- Matineo dinner was frustrating/ limited in variety of choices; chef was not 4-star level.
- If you wanted that culinary level you had to pay extra for Strombolichio…which was slightly annoying but worth it.
- There were structural safety issues with the property: several lawsuits waiting to happen: no railing in the pool; people kept slipping.
- My mother fell due to a faulty / broken step, anagement not only did nothing to apologize for the conflict they caused, they refused to take responsibility. In Italy, customer is always wrong, even when theyre right.

Was there late Aug to early Sept. Nice resort, crystal blue waters when sea is calm. Great breakfast and good lunch and dinner choices, but many great restaurants nearby if you have a car. Not much in the way of included activities so a great vacation just to chill and relax

There are several moments and images that are still vivid in my memory,regarding my stay at the Capovaticano resort where I stayed from the 13th of September till the 19th.
The whole place is a treat for the senses. The guest is pampered from the beginning to the end of the stay. The staff is always present with discretion, never invasive, to make you fully enjoy independently the immersive experience offered by the ample and beautiful spaces and the gorgeous nature around. The sea is the mighty star where you spend most of the day, enchanted by the crystal clear water, the little silver and black fishes that accompany your swim.
When you leisurely wake up from the whole day at the beach ( towels provided for free)soaking the sun,and the air gets fresher, sunset arrives, splashing the sky with accurate beauty, brushing the horizon with hues of red, pink, orange, when the shape of Volcano Stromboli might appear on sight on clear days, still always there,present even on misty days.
At sunset the Strombolicchio bar offers nice aperitifs( open also for good lunches ) on the terrace overlooking the sea and the volcano Stromboli. Beautiful and good quality garden furniture is scattered everywhere to make you comfortably enjoy a sit every minute of the day and the evening.
I choose the half board, so started the morning with a super breakfast, offering cakes, croissants,, cereals, yogurts, all different alternatives to cow milk, fruit,freshly baked bread prepared with more then one type of flour. There is also a wide choice of the savouries if you don’t have a sweet tooth. All you like is there and you are spoilt for choice. Included the view that,from the restaurant makes you eye glide smoothly across a strategic passage way straight to the sea. Careful waiters, discreetly please your demands. At dinner there is an offering of succulent gourmet dishes, presented with the signature of a good chef.
After breakfast I used to have a leisure walk around the park, then at ten o’clock I went for a yoga class, which takes place open air on the lawn facing the sea; with some shade and a light breeze I had the right complements for the one hour class.
Everything was perfect and could not ask for a better location and a better teacher . MariaGrazia has been a beacon of light in each of the five morning classes I took. Present with all the senses, got me into the spirit of yoga with her smooth clear soothing voice, with her moves accompanying mine. She is a knowledgeable beautiful person, sweet and strong like the sea breeze. Even if you have never practiced yoga, she makes you do it all with ease and fun. The breathing and meditation moments are magic.
This was my first time at Capovaticano resort and surely won’t be the last.
Thanks to everybody for the excellent job.
Last but not least I wanted to highlight the extended wifi , and the free car park.
