IHR Pizzo Calabro Resort

Food and view we're non stop, country side was full of cherry trees. Dinner had to be 9 courses. We didn't spend the night but the pool had a great view. Five Stars

Houses was pretty amazing also the whole resort offers services and also sport playgrounds very well. Italian food was stunning, stuff and animators were very nice and grateful. Every evening there was some event for people but mainly for children and teens. Beach and sea was beautiful and clean. Not so far from resort are nice Italian cities not so big or small, just perfect and nice. For examle the city of Trope and it's famous beach and center was one of the nicest things you can see. A little further there are vulcano islands. I honestly recommend this location to visit for you. :)

Cannot fault the accommodation, service mostly excellent but let down by one or two. Location would have been good if activities had been better for our age groups, but expensive to go anywhere off site.

STAY AWAY.... STAY AWAY.... Awful for that price. Awful approach from management. Another usual day in Pizzo Calabro Resort. I am writing live from the place. This morning We checked the breakfast, could not find anything edible and we go outside to find food! If you are lucky enough to find proper food then be careful about the other guests, because people elbow and hit you to fill their plates. NO queue whatsoever! You must be a warrior to reach out to the last bit of melon for example. A true "hunger games". Likewise at the pool area, getting an umrella requires some sprinting skills. If you are a rugby player , you will be fine. If you are too polite then you are screwed. Wild rules here. Embarrassing. Beach is dirty not maintained. Everytime I look I see dead jelly fish all around together with rubbish left. If you are to walk there is nothing in 500 meters and it gets scary to walk in early morning. Pics below. Everything gets closed at 7pm! No pool no beach available after 7. It feels like you pay to stay in a school camp. They claim they have animations for kids also in english. fact: there is nothing in english. Only thing I heard so far is "one two three" in a song. I saw one animation with full of children watching, it was veeeery inappropriate that I felt embarrassed on behalf of kids witnessing this cheesy cheap stuff. (E.g. Two men lower their panths and pretending they play piano with their penis! This is what they understand from entertainment) For those interested I have videos. The comment below about the rudeness of pool manager is true. I was treated badly becuase of their fault of losing my tshirt that I left during running assuming it was a safe place. Room service: they knock the door and come in at 8:17! You tell them to come back after 9:30. You spend next half hour trying to go back to sleep. She does the same thing again at 8:58! If you are lucky enough to be able to sleep without disturbance of the room service then there is a man pruning the trees every morning with a machine. So if you are not a morning person, this is a great place to train yourself. Animations and noise stop at 12am and room service comes around 8am'ish. So you have this slot to sleep. Better use it. All in all we did NOT like the place and want to check out early by changing our dates. We said we are ok to pay any commissioning fee and our days of stay. BUt general manager FORCED us to stay but not changing our days and not paying back our money!!! So we are being tortured here everyday. Good things: they give towels. There is liquid soap. There is a drying rack for towels. There is air conditioning. If they were to run a "bed&no breakfast" they would have succeeded maybe. STAY AWAY

I would say it is not what I would expect from All inclusive 4 star resort. It is overpriced from that point of view. If you go by agency. Best of it is the quality of food and helpfull staff at the restorant. Self service of course. Mostly chief of staff Giorgio. Also room towels and beds were made daily. Animation team is great too. But... There is no ATM machine, receptionist doesn't speak english, same is for the rest of the staff, with exception of one. Some rooms are drafty, mouldly. Water is not drinkable. Every drink is served only by cup, only until 22:00 at the bar. So take a bottle with you. There is only shuttle bus to go to city centre for about 10/5€ per adult/kid. Too far to walk over the main road. If you have all inclusive which hurts most, there is no free ice cream, very limited drinks and only some pre-brewed coffe from pot. Snacks between meals, you can not choose from. Usually some left over pastry or pizza from previous meal. I will go again to this destination, but with own car, because city Pizzo is worth exploring also sorrounding volcano islands. But no more all inclusive.
