Tui Magic Life Calabria - All Inclusive

We stayed for a week in late September/early October. The weather was great for most of the week (in the late 20’s) with only a little rain so it’s a great time of year to get away from the English weather without talking a long flight. We stayed in the private lodge area and can highly recommend it, as it feels like such a lovely haven from what is a busy, but well run resort. You have the luxury of dipping in and out of each area, and the service in the private lodge bars and restaurant was great. The entire resort was very clean and well kept. All of the public areas were being cleaned and tidied constantly. It was very impressive. The only, very small negative and a suggestion for improvement was the number of staff on reception. It could take a long time, and there were often queues to speak to someone. The food was good on the buffets in both areas, more choice in the main restaurant, but we preferred eating in the private lodge area because the drinks are served to your table, in nice glasses (red wine served at room temperature) and it was just very peaceful and laid back there in comparison. The pasta/risotto station in the private lodge area which was manned by a lovely chef was great and he really cared about the food he dished up for you - I wish I’d taken his name. All of the staff in that area were attentive and most were very friendly too. A special mention to Carmine in the Private lodge bar, Anna-Maria in the pool bar, Bruno in the Trattoria and Emanuel in the Wunderbar. They were all lovely, gave great service with a great sense of humour and put up with our bad attempts to speak Italian! The beach is good and there are so many sun beds! The walk to the beach is really relaxing through the trees. We didn’t go in the sea. Mainly because it was so nice at the pool, plus the beach is pebbly and therefore hard under foot, but it’s still a great beach to chill out on a lounger with an all inclusive drink from the bar. We went to Pizzo a couple of times on the shuttle bus. It’s a small town on the coast, so it doesn’t take long to explore but it’s very pretty and worth going. Plenty of places for a coffee or a drink whilst watching the world go by too. We also visited Reggio Calabria - good town for shopping and a good view of Sicily and Mount Etna, and the picturesque fisherman’s village of Scilla . All in all a fantastic holiday in a beautiful part of the world. We’ve seriously considered going back to the same resort, but also feel there is much more to explore in that part of Italy!

A really great holiday at this wonderful place. From the moment we arrived staff very friendly and courteous. We stayed in the Adult lodge areas, everything you could need. Great food, drinks it's own pool, pool bar and evening bar as well. Quality of food and drinks great, water stations all around the site. The fridge in the Lodge restocked every day. Evening entertainment not great but that didn't bother us. The rest of the complex is great for families and plenty to do. On the beach another bar and eating site, watersports too. In all a fabulous week. We will be back.

Can't really find any faults with this hotel.Staff are very polite and attentive.Upgraded to private lodges which were fantastic,pool area and hotel grounds are stunning.Food was also very good with plenty of choice and well presented.Another positive was by the time we landed,through passport control,collected luggage,bussed to hotel,checked into room in about 80mins.

This was my second visit having previously stayed for two weeks in August 2023. Pleased to report I have had exactly the same experience - wonderful! Last time as a family of four, this time we left the teenagers behind. Stayed in the quieter adults only Private Lodge exclusive area. Spotlessly clean including the grounds, food is plentiful and of good quality. The staff are ALL polite and friendly (is only Week One though 😉) and are hard-working. Weather was better than expected so managed to play tennis every day and took advantage of the organised bike rides. At this Magic Life resort, tennis group lessons and equipment are included in the price. Bike hire and helmets are included in the price. It is a well-run club which offers excellent value for money. Already planning to return next summer.

Just returned from this beautiful hotel. We have only praise for the pristine ground keeping, the cleanliness of the rooms , the friendly staff, the tasty food and drinks, in fact just everything! We were very impressed. Stayed in the private Lodge area which was very peaceful with the option of using any of the rest of the resort if we felt the need for a little more activeness. The beach is stunning and the walk down through the pine forest is very cool and calm. Went on a day trip to Capo Vaticano, Tropea and Pizzo which was very good. Had we stayed for longer than a week we would probably have ventured out a bit more but we both needed a few days of rest and relaxation and this place fitted the bill perfectly. Would definitely book again!)

This hotel is just the best! The daily Activities are really fun and Enjoyable to do Loved the Entertainment the evening Shows are just amazing so much time and effort has been put into the shows so they are always enjoyable to watch and the mini disco is always nice after the shows. The food is really good and The Entertainment staff are just friendly and lovely Especially Annika and Mimosa for making my holiday Extra special. I’m Definitely planning to come back!
