I have heard some awful reviews about the Timeshare Pianeta maratea which I definitely disagree. The unit was large and very clean. You did have to make your own beds but after staying in several hotels in France and Italy which were very confining I did't mind the small inconvenience at all. The staff were all very pleasant and the... more

After reading the reviews on this resort I was a little bit hesitant to go there but I am really glad that I didn't listen to the reviews, people like to exaggerate. I agree, it is not the Taj Mahal but it is a European place that is clean and comfortable it gives you the feel for Italy. The view... more

This resort is like a second home to me and it sucks reading all these bad reviews when really the place is amazing. I've been going every summer since i was 8 yes old and every year when i travel to italy i look forward to going there because its like going back to family. The entertainment is always excellent... more

We booked this resort via our Timeshare, and were 'quite' worried with reviews we had read regarding the apartments and the resort. Thankfully we found our holiday wonderful - yes the apartments were basic, but very clean. Plentiful hot water and comfy beds. We have found that if you like holidaying on the med most accommodation is fairly basic, so... more

Mold in the bathroom; not clean; did not mind making the bed but did mind not having blankets to fit the "double" bed; staff at the restaurant and the travel "bureau" were fantastic; staff at the reception desk needs a lesson. The confirmation confirmed that there was a shuttle to town...did not mention the fact that there was a 5... more

I read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor before I went and was quite nervous about going to this resort. After much thought, we proceeded with our plans. We arrived at 2:30am and met the security guard who gave us our key. After being on the road for 24 hours, we wanted a hot shower and a bed to... more

We stayed at the Pianeta Maratea in the last week of May 2007. We had been quite concerned before arriving because we had read worrying reviews about the place. Luckily it was nowhere near as bad as we had expected (we had made sure we got there early in the day in case we needed to find an alternative). The... more

This resort is very old. The night we arrived at ten o'clock, we had to make our own beds. we had black mold growing in the dorm sized refrigerator and on the bathroom tiles. We went to to reception area requesting some cleaning supplies or just some liquid soap because their little grocery store was closed. We had purchased groceries... more

We had booked a trip to Italy for next fall, September 2007 and had exchanged with RCI to stay at Club Residence Pianeta Maratea. After reading the review by redpanda30 "Holiday from Hell, avoid at all costs" and several others, we decided to cancel our booking. Unfortunately when I explained the problems to the RCI staff, I received little appreciation... more
