Baia Tirrena - all beaches

We were initially worried about our holiday due to the numerous negative reviews. The village itself is a bit outdated and the accommodations are old-fashioned, but they are still functional. The bungalows have ceiling fans, although we didn't need to use them much because the evenings were usually cool. The resort is built on terraces that slope down to the sea, providing a beautiful panoramic view. However, it may be uncomfortable for elderly individuals and families with small children in strollers. The beach has both a sandy area, which we didn't particularly like, and a lovely pebble side. Sea shoes are necessary! They also have a designated beach area for dogs. Once you pass the cliff, the sea is absolutely wonderful, and the resort provides free kayaks for guests to use. The shuttle service is a bit outdated, but it is still very efficient. There are entertainment options for children and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Overall, it offers good value for money compared to other places in the area, but if you're looking for a top-notch resort, it's best to look elsewhere.

This beach is a lovely destination for a vacation.

The cuisine is exceptional and the scenery is breathtaking!

This beach resort in Italy is, without a doubt, the worst one I've ever stayed at in that price range. Food: We opted for the half-pension option, but I must say it's not up to par with even a highway motel. Be prepared to consume a lot of potatoes and rice, and don't expect to indulge in the typical regional delicacies. You'll spend a lot of time waiting in line and constantly chasing after the staff for plates and service. They are severely understaffed and it's clear that their main focus is maximizing profit. If you dare to ask for an extra sausage, you'll be met with questioning looks. The cake slices are so thin, they're practically transparent. It's not really a self-service setup, so you'll have to ask for everything, and with the low guest-to-staff ratio, you'll find yourself waiting for everything. Beach: The beach is filled with stones and the water is dirty. It's quite small and enclosed, which means that trash tends to linger around. Pool: The pool is nice but small, and you have to make a reservation to use it. It's located right next to the DJ, so you'll be subjected to non-stop music blasting at over 90 decibels. This brings me to the name of the place: Baia del Silenzio (Bay of Silence). Ironically, there's a DJ or animator constantly on the microphone, interrupting the loud music with announcements, including the resort's theme song. Whether you're at the beach, pool, or cafe, you can't escape the noise. The App: You're required to use their app for all payments, but it's clunky, buggy, and slows down the staff. It's far less convenient than using contactless credit cards or your phone. To make matters worse, you have to go to the reception to load it with your credit card or refill it with cash at specific points of purchase. Rooms: The rooms are furnished cheaply and the AC unit is extremely noisy. There were also missing items, such as chairs, glasses, and cups, which we had to repeatedly request. Some of the requested items never even arrived, even after making three phone calls. The only positive aspect is that the staff who handle kids' animations are doing a great job. I definitely won't be returning to this place.

The beach offers a wonderful sea, a variety of food options, and is particularly great for children. With a bit more attention, it could become a gem in Cilento. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The stairs leading down to the beach are rusty, the umbrellas are all stuck together, and the lifeguards only clean the beach around 11 am, making it difficult to remove all the pine needles from the sand. Additionally, the climb to see the evening shows or reach the car park is quite steep. It would be more pleasant if they provided constant service with the available machines, especially for pregnant women and people with disabilities. The garden with children's games could benefit from better lighting and a safer fence, considering there are children around. On the positive side, the staff, especially the waiters, are very kind, and the beach is cleaned daily, which is a significant advantage for a village setting. Overall, the place offers a magnificent sea and an amazing panorama.
