    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The TUI MAGIC LIFE Calabria lines up a packed-to-the-rafters activity programme, lots of restaurants and an exclusive section of the beach.

    Because this place has its own beach, it’s easy to swap poolside for seaside. The club’s nestled between one of Calabria’s best stretches of sand and hills blanketed by pine trees and vineyards.

    Days here will be as active or as dialled-down as you like. There are sports for the whole family, including tennis lessons and cycling trips. Alternatively, if you upgrade to a room in the Private Lodge area, you’ll be able to take a dip in the adults-only pool or relax on an exclusive section of the beach.

    Excellent Hotel and Staff
    05 Jan , 2020 NewtFam, 190734
    We traveled in October to this hotel. First time we have been in a TUI Magic hotel and it is very different to general hotel experiences. When you first arrive you wonder where the hotel is? The cases are dropped at the reception, you are greeted with a drink of bubbly or orange juice. Lots of lovely smiley people to greet you in reception. Once given your room number it is explained which block you will be in and where all the amenities are. We were in Block 5 which is quite a walk away from the amenities but that was fine for us. The rooms were ready so we took our cases and went straight there. Both rooms were lovely and clean and spacious. Excellent shower room and plenty of toiletries. There was a balcony but it was not really appropriate to sit on as there were lots of foliage climbing up the wall. Our room maid was lovely and again smiley. All the staff were brilliant, so helpful and smiley, even the gardners said good morning as you passed them. There were fabulous amenities and if you wanted a sporting holiday then this is definitely the place for you! There is everything you could wish for, boules, archery, tennis, table tennis, canoeing, wind surfing, bike riding. The private beach area - amazing - lovely sunbeds and plenty of them. Plenty of sunbeds around the lovely pools as well. Food was absolutely amazing - so much choice. If you didnt find anything there is definitely something wrong! There are 2 other restaurants which I would suggest you go to. You can go once to each themed restaurant but book very early on when you arrive - or if you get the app you can can book before you arrive. Again lovely service and beautiful food. The drink is a different thing. The lager is okay and so is the prosecco. Wine is okay but the shorts are really poor. I don't moan but I didnt enjoy the drinks at all. You can buy shorts and bottles of lager from another bar - but they are not cheap - 7 euros for a 40ml shot of bacardi or vodka plus mixer or go and get a mixer at the free bar?! If you were drinking shorts for the week you would be better taking your own in your case! or if you went out on a day trip buy a bottle then! The entertainment was okay - not great which was disappointing as you could not go anywhere in the evening as nothing else at all around the complex. The team did do a Lion King evening and that was great - the best night - shame not more nights like that one. The entertainment team were great and tried really hard during the day and evening and if you didnt want to join in they didnt pester too much!. All in all a lovely holiday - but I wouldnt go back only because there literally is nothing around the place and we like to walk to other bars in an evening and have a change of scenery. If you want a very relaxed or even a hectic holiday this is the place to go.

    We attended the last week of the season and you could tell the hotel was closing up. As a previous Magic Life Entertainer I was very shocked specially as I've also been on holidays to other hotels as well within the Magic Life brand. Room Was cleaned on a daily basis and was great to get an upgrade on check in to a much bigger room for our family. Probably one of the nicest rooms we had as a magic life guest. Entertainment Day time entertainment was going on but there was never no announcements with what activities were happening during the day which have had in previous hotels. Evening Entertainment was ok but nothing really special. The final nights silent disco was probably the best out of the whole week. Food The food was varied on a daily basis but some did lack some taste. Restaurant staff worked hard to quickly clear tables. Pools The main one was extremely cold but once got in and moving it was fine. The lifeguards were shocking specially when witnessed a kid cut her foot open and they told the parents to sort her out and just stood and watched, which wasnt great and made them look like they didn't know first aid. Gym Area Probably one of the best I've seen for a magic life hotel and with all the machines working for a change. Staff Were very friendly and was great to see Jose doing a great job part of the hotel and making rounds on a daily basis to talk to guests. After working with him in Kos in 2017 it was great to see him again. Also a mention for some of the Entertainers Lauren (Dancer), Victoria (acrobat), Marie (Mungo Club Chief) and Anca (Entertainment Manager). Was great to see Marie doing a great job within the team after being a guest when I was working in Kos. Lauren and Victoria definitely made our evenings while we was there and was also great to see Anca again handling her team. Will we come back probably not as there was parts that did disapoint compared to other reports we have been to.
    Ticks all the boxes

    Visited at half term in Oct (sorry for the late review). This place did exactly what we needed, beautiful resort, spotless and service that was excellent. Staff very very helpful and a wonderful time. A very short transfer from the airport although check-in at the hotel was rather slow. Also odd that you cannot check in to your rooms until 3pm... they know you are coming and the rooms empty for at least a few hours so cannot see the reason for the delays. Bit of a risk with the weather but we got lucky and was sunbathing most of the week. Lovely walk through the forest to the beach and so much to do in a week. Would we go back... in an instant.
    October holiday

    Check in a bit manic, lots off coaches arriving at the same time. Plus side, they give you Prosecco whilst you wait and take your cases to the room. Maybe instead off lots off staff looking after the arriving guest, put more behind the check in desk. Room was amazing, big, bright and airy. Was on first floor and struggled a bit as no handrail. Food was lovely, best meal was breakfast, oh what a choice. Speciality restaurants definitely worth a visit. Plenty off sun beds and pool area kept clear, though they did have a wasp issue near the self service soda fountains. Disappointed that aqua aerobics was done in main pool as it had no disabled access and far too deep for an inclusive aerobics class. Entertainment was good, lady singer had a wonderful voice. Drinks selection was good, but as things weren’t measured some staff made the cocktails differently and they weren’t consistently nice. Would definitely go back to a Magic Life resort again.
    Enjoyable

    Overall great visit, rather holiday camp style but exactly as promoted other than location, Tui need to be more open when describing, this resort is isolated totally. However, staff work hard to keep the standards and in the main are friendly. The same cannot be said for bar staff, very unapproachable no assistance are encouragement what to order, rather like they are told not to promote any drinks to save money, nightmare in the evening at adult area restaurant trying to get a glass of wine, then making eye contact to ask for glass replenishment, staff in that area often stood around chatting or in some causes arguing. Need to be far more attentive, customers have pre paid and this should be respected. Food generally good, plenty of choice could be a bit hotter but that’s buffets for you. The Trattoria team need to revisit their set menu and portion sizes, totally overwhelming and enormous! I had to ask them to stop bringing food. The fine dining restaurant was lovely, but confusing with nothing explained, staff rather non communicative but food excellent. No iron in room have to send items to laundry and pay per item. Reception staff need to be more welcoming and polite rather abrupt. Overall public areas well looked after, manager walks around two or three times a day, staff jump to attention in his presence. Beach restaurant great for lunch, more relaxed and friendly. Would recommend as great value for money, but we warned you need to embrace what the resort offers as absolutely nothing else to do beyond. Departure airport is madness, so very badly organised with people herded along, Italian immigration need to learn some manners when welcoming tourists who are helping the economy, a uniform has made them arrogant and rude. Good luck a Tui Magic Life, great place for families
