Bottom Line

Within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Marina da Camerota, Cala Blanca Resort is a rustic, value hotel with 18 rooms, including wooden bungalows that are available from April through September and apartments with kitchenettes that stay open year-round. The hotel has a restaurant serving regional cuisine and a bar, as well as a semi-open breakfast room. The beach is a short walk away, but note that a fee is imposed to cover the cost of lounge chair rentals, umbrellas, and activities at the beach, all of which provided by a separate company.

Oyster Hotel Review

Cala Blanca Resort

Scene

Natural, rustic surroundings near the beach

A brick path leads up a hill to charming (from the outside) wooden cabins surrounded by trees, flowering bushes, and short stone walls. A pale yellow building houses the separate apartments, which have tile patios. An open-air bar and breakfast room with cushioned wicker couches and chairs provide a spot for guests to enjoy the fresh air under a wooden roof. Additional tables and chairs are available on the patio space outside. It’s a short walk to the beach, where a separate company, Playa el Flamingo, organizes activities including water aerobics and dancing, and offers canoes, kayaks, and paddle boat rentals. There's also a beachside bar and restaurant as well as chairs and parasols, although guests must pay a separate club fee to access the beach and its amenities. Overall, this is a budget property that appeals to those seeking a camping vibe.

Location

Surrounded by trees, within walking distance of the beach and village

Cala Blanca Resort is within a five-minute walk of the beach and it's less than 10 minutes to the center of Marina di Camerota, where visitors can find shops, restaurants, and ice cream. Cape Palinuro is about a half-hour drive away; from here, travelers can take a boat tour to see impressive sea caves and a secluded beach. Naples and its international airport both take two hours and forty minutes to reach by car.

Rooms

Apartments (open year round) with modern features and wooden bungalows open seasonally

There are two room types at the Cala Blanca: seasonal bungalows (open April through September) and year-round apartments. Both room types have flat-screen TVs and air conditioners, and can sleep up to four. Bungalows are charming wooden cabins with mini-fridges, furnished tile patios, and small bathrooms. The showers aren't enclosed, making for wet bathroom floors. The apartments are open throughout the year and have kitchenettes with sinks and stoves and bathrooms with curtained-in showers. Overall, the decor is minimal -- adding to the camping vibe.

Features

Pretty outdoor areas, plus a restaurant, bar, and free breakfast

For guests who don't want to make the trek down to the beach (or take the free shuttle), the hotel has a big, outdoor swimming pool with a pool bar. There’s also a pizzeria on the property and shops selling souvenirs, clothing, and toiletries. The hotel has a spa with a sauna and a fitness center with several benches and free weights. An outdoor relaxation pool is available, but guests have to make a reservation. There are archery, tennis, and soccer areas, and a kids' club with animation teams guiding activities. The on-site restaurant serves regional cuisine and a free continental breakfast is available every morning in a separate semi-open breakfast room.
