Just returned from Massa Lubrence Conca Azzura beach club hotel
had a week all inclusive, we are in our 60s hotel had mixed age range staying everyone able to chill and do your own thing, we have stayed in many hotels and have 3 holidays a year, like most people we have worked full time all our lives, and in todays world, you are lucky if you dont have a job without stress, if you want to get out of the rat race and rest
this is the place for you, our room was cleaned and fresh towels provided every day, just basic room
but adequate, ladies if like me eye sight not as good as when younger, take your magnifying mirror with you, there's a large mirror in bathroom, but not magnifying.
same applies to men if shaving, also I suggest you take your own hairdryer ,this hotel
is basically an adult hotel, and the hotel is situated in a very isolated area ,but a regular mini bus provided by the hotel to take you into Sorrento to explore, and book trips,by boat or coach or train,are easy to access in Sorrento ,back to info on hotel,
where shall I start ? the food I am a massive fan of M&S food, and a local store, who provide meat and produce from my region, this hotel in the middle of nowhere had the most fantastic choice of food, breakfast good selection of everything, if you want poached or fried eggs ask the waiters as it was usually scrambled eggs put out for breakfast, they bring poached egg out with salad on plate, but remember we are in Italy
just move your salad to oneside if it is not to your liking, the juice is pure, not the fake bright orange muck like a lot of hotels provide, the coffee machine breaks down regularly like in a lot of hotels, but hey ho not the end of the world, it gets fixed, along with the toaster, if you send your choice of bread round about 3 times you've cracked it
or go for a swim and return just joking, the lunches are fabulous salads ,veg, meat fish,
Pisa, always bottled water at your table, and always a bottle of wine if you wish it,loads of choice
lovely Italian wines, plus spirits or beer, dinner was equally lovely every evening, some of you might think how boring of me but the fish was so fantastic I chose it everyday eg
John Dory cod swordfish, tuna, , turkey better than M&S, my partner a meat eater loads of choice for him, the chef in this hotel obviously takes great pride in his choice of menu the waiters are so on the ball moving your plates etc, plenty of sun loungers. plenty of space,
I enjoyed swimming in the main saltwater pool it did affect some people, but I must be immune as I take my dog most days when not raining in the Irish sea, so it was home from home for me only with sun, the pool is open to the public I loved observing the Italian families enjoying themselves, I am not sure what it would be like in the high season, but the hotel has a separate area for the guests if you want privacy to sun bathe
The hotel needs sprucing up it needs painting around the balconies, and the pool areas definitely need tidying up and cleaning, the waiters and cleaners inside the hotel, were a lot more hard working, than the staff around the pool area, it needs cleaning!
Having stated all this I would not hesitate to come back to this little gem of a place,
The Chef gets my vote , hope if you are going to this hotel you enjoy it like we have
