Grand Hotel De Rose

The location and staff were top notch

Very nice location. You can walk everywhere. Breakfast was great and the pool was very nice. All staff members very polite and always friendly. The property beach and swimming perfect for family and children.

Needed a bit of trees cut and weed control along property paths.

On the ocean/impeccable beachBreakfast was delicious !!Jon Pierre was calm attentive and patient

Francesca at the front desk was not personable, not warm, didn’t make an effort to accommodate us!

The breakfast was good and very tasty. The hotel has access to private beach which is close. Area is very quiet.

The swimming pool could be open longer at least to 10pm.

Location was perfect. The staff especially Domenico at the pool bar and Jon at reception went out of their way.

It was perfectly situated, on a slight hill, with great views, and close to the beach. The staff were very helpful and kind, especially John at the front desk, and Claudio & Tanya, in the restaurant & beach bar!

The location is great, the staff very nice. I left a brown shirt in room 308, i think. Can you please check?

Breakfast was ok, location very good

No coffee/tea facilities in room

Great location, nice pool, good hotel overall

A little kitchen in the room would have been nice. Or at least allowed to use the fridge. Especially as there was no option for dinner if you didn’t have the half board

Staff very friendly and welcoming

Breakfast poor. Orange juice, fruit and coffee poor.

Brilliant location. Great views. Best beach area.Superb room, bathroom, bed & balcony.Excellent pool & garden. Easy parking. Quick, simple access to beach; free loungers/umbrellas on private beach area. Beautiful tennis court.Great breakfast & dinners.Really nice, kind, polite, helpful & interested staff. Clean sheets daily. Quiet efficient A/C (new).Fantastic value for money.Settled efficiently run hotel (originally the first in Scalea).

Loved it all; could have stayed a month !

The staff, the nostalgic retro decor/feel, the location, the beach club, the complimentary transport to the train station, the view from the sea view room.

I wish they could have provided us with beach towels. I also think the pool needs a clean and the submerged exercise equipment needs to be removed. Charging 5 euro a day if we kept our own food and drink in the fridge.

Loved the location, it was very clean with helpful staff.

Everything like the beachfront, friendly staff, and lovely environment. It easily finds excellent restaurants nearby and has a good restaurant too.

Amazing location and phenomenal staff! Very good breakfast.

Pool and access to private beach.Food and drinks inside the hotel were reasonably priced.The location is very convenient - just 10m walk from the town centre.The hotel facilitates boat ride bookings with a local company whose boats depart from one of the beaches near the hotel. The views from the boat ride are stunning. If you have a car, the national park of Pollino is just 30m away - we enjoyed visiting the river Lao natural reserve.We also enjoyed visiting Diamante, just 20m away by car.

The 2 rooms we booked were on different floors.3-bed room was a bit too small.The air conditioning was noisier than normal inside the room. The fish starter at the restaurant on the beach could be better.Mosquitoes were having a feast - but I'm not sure how that can be helped.

We absolutely loved the location, the beach, the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff. The breakfast was amazing with everything from cereal to cheese and other sweet and savoury treats. The staff treated us to the breakfast although we had not opted for it. Giusy was an excellent and very kind waitress who also handed in my mother’s sunglasses when she left them in the bathroom. We loved the pool area with the poolside bar too. The lido was fantastic with beach umbrella and deck chairs included in the price of our stay. The beds were comfortable too.

The property however is in need of some renovations as it’s a little outdated. The room was quite small for three people although the balcony with sea view was gorgeous. The bathroom was very small and I must warn that the shower is tiny and if anyone is a bit big, they will struggle to fit inside. The aircon was good but it kept switching off whenever the window was opened for even a second. I think visitors would also appreciate having aircon on in the lobby upon arrival in this very hot time of year.

A tale of two very different rooms. The oceanview room was fabulous! Recently renovated, very nice, great big bathroom, amazing balcony and view to die for. loved it! Having a beach club associated with the hotel was a huge plus. It was so great walking down to the beach and getting beach loungers and umbrella and bathrooms there without paying extra. The lady at the beach was so nice. You could also order food and drinks and ice cream down on the beach. It was also amazing having a good size pool there. In the late afternoon a bartender was there too for aperitif. Lots of chairs and shade by pool too. The staff at the front desk were very kind and helpful!

The other half of our family, was in a room for 3 people and it was old, and run down and felt like a completely different hotel. Their ac didn't work well and that part of the hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The breakfast was fine, more than just a cornetto but the coffee was shockingly bad. I don't know how a hotel in Italy can serve that. Also the staff that work in the breakfast area hate their job, such a contrast to the front desk. I feel like this hotel could be really amazing. It could be a proper 5 star hotel with a bit of work. The old rooms need renovation and they need a proper espresso machine and barista at breakfast. We had a long wait for our room to be ready the lobby was so hot, it was unbearable.

Lovely location, cute rooms with sea view, and a very nice beach and pool included in the stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly in the rooms!

Breakfast was not great. The weirdest thing was that they would charge you €5 per day if you put your own items in the fridge in the room? Just seems unnecessary and cheap.

Hotel with character, retro charme, very elegant navy-style furniture in the very comfortable and clean rooms, nicely refurbished bathrooms. Great breakfast, excellent AC, private beach, friendly, welcoming, excellent value, positive vibe!

Some TLC! Garden and pool areas with fabulous views, but neglected and not really furnished with care. Too many cigarettes in the sand on the lido. White chair covers at breakfast that need a wash, or simple removal. Small details, easy to resolve, that would make this hotel a real winner!
