Stayed here late May/ early June

Excellent for beach access for the family. Restaurant and beach bar very good but not enough staff on one evening. Food very tasty and well presented. 
I have mobility issues and the room I was given had a shower over bath which I could not access. 
The manager gave me another room with walk in shower which was acceptable but needed maintenance because it leaked very badly. 
I said to leave it until we had checked out. 
The kids club was good for the children. 
Everything was reasonably priced including the small shop. 
I would recommend this hotel for families although some areas need upgrading and perhaps maintenance schedules needs tightening. 
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Hotel on the beach in a beautiful area.

This is a place to relax, except for making sure you do not overeat!.  We were in an apartment which was spacious, and reasonably well-kept without view. There is a pool and a beach that is very crowded over most of the nearby area, and where it is not crowded there is no life guard.  The food is OK and some reasonable wines were served.  They have  quite some facilities for kids which is a plus for families with kids.

Dolce far Niente

There were 10 of us staying in two villas for our week's holiday - and we had paid for the refurbished villas, 5 of us in each one. We found them very expensive for what they were. The photos helped sell them to us online, but in reality, the furniture was old, the redecoration was cheaply done, and the two family chalets weren't together despite our party booking five months before. They had left nothing in the chalets like washing liquid etc, I'm sure they could have afforded to leave us some small things. When we arrived the villas had their shutters closed so were dark and uninviting, and there were loads of mosquitos in the rooms. The chalets are positioned in the forest behind the sea, I found the complex a bit tatty and flat; shame there was no view from any of the chalets apart from your neighbour's washing hanging out to dry! 
We liked the pool which was well maintained and had sloping sides, although it was a bit small and after lunch became a bit of a zoo - so many children in there! 
The beach bar lacked a bit of atmosphere, it's not actually on the beach, I think they could have played a bit of music and the bar staff could have created a bit more energy - there was no-one really drinking alcohol during the day btw which made us Brits feel a bit...wrong when we had beer for lunch! Oh sorry, I meant with lunch : ) . The menu they served at the beach bar, although tasty, got a bit boring after a week. The beach area is OK but quite cramped - the sea is alright but nothing to write home about. 
One of the resounding successes of this place was the food; the restaurant is run by a very efficient manager who clearly runs a tight ship. The food, especially in the evening, was consistently good quality and we had fun choosing how to stuff our faces each night from the upmarket four course menu. The restaurant staff were all great. Having said that about the food, we had one breakfast delivered to our villa and we weren't keen on it at all, the food - and selection - wasn't very good and it was a right ball ache it was to clear up afterwards! So we paid to eat in the restaurant for breakfast for the rest of the week which was much better. 
After dinner there wasn't much to do. The singer / keyboard player and the one cabaret night they put on, seemed a bit dated, we all ended up going to bed early, which is no bad thing I guess. 
To summarise I agree with the other reviewer before me who said surely there are better places to stay in Tuscany. Castiglione was good to visit. But personally, even if you have kids, I would stick to the countryside of Tuscany, loads to see and do, it really is a magical part of the world.

Great food, accommodation disappointing

The Roccamare Resort is a beautiful place with pros and cons. Whether the former weigh in more than the latter depends entirely on the guest.
In our case, we were just amazed by the magnificent pine wood that surrounds the resort: the high trees and the cicadas' never-ending chirp produced an unreal atmosphere. 
The clean pool and sandy beach were closed by our studio and extremely enjoyable. And, with a small child, the bar next to beach was ideal for a snack and a drink in the shadow. 
However, we were extremely disappointed with the room service. To have studio cleaned every day, you are asked to pay a pricey extra (€ 50/day) which we nonetheless gladly paid in order to enjoy our break as much as possible. Well... out of 7 days spent there, we had to call the reception four times because the room hadn't been serviced!
And even when the room was cleaned, you could still find sand everywhere!
Once they forgot to put the sheet in my bed and when I complained they just handed one (meaning, help yourself!). We were also surprised that at the time of checkout no one bothered to ask whether we had enjoyed the stay, whether everything had been fine, nothing at all. They got their money and that was it. 
To bad indeed as the place would deserve a second visit...!

Great place with poor service

First facts:staff speaks english badly (even in the restaurant), we stayed in what they call "villa" and I was terrified by how old the furniture is and appliances are (surely were not done any proper repairs or changes for min.10 years), kitchen is full of ants!, holes in moscito nets on windows, breakfast was brought to us from the local supermarket (packed, in bags, so never take breakfast if u stay in villa or appartment), horrible playground for children if it can even be called so, mini club with no toys or activities, lots of old people complaining about children running and shouting (children are surely not much welcome there), recommend not to book dinners either as they dont have any fresh local fishes- at the sea! they served salmon , tuna, pasta with frozen seafood mix. Otherwise, park around the hotel is good, sea is good, pool is ok, food in Italian supermarkets is as well great. However, not comming back to this resort again. 

there are surely better places to stay! 

I felt like i was coming back to the decade of 40. Everything is old and our room had an extremelly bad smell. It was smelling like a room with very old furniture and bedding seems to never be cleaned. The breakfast is terrible, the only one that we could not eat in our trip to Europe. We tried to take a shower but it was impossible because the water was very cold. In the minibar there was only one water and more nothing. If you want to recharge your phone you have to put it on the table far from the bed because there is no power plug close to the bed or a nightstand. Avoid this hotel!

One of the worst hotel i’ve ever had

This resort does not deliver what they promise. We got a villa near the road which was very noisy and fare away from the beach. Even though the resort was half empty. The pool area was full of noisy screaming Russian kids and the guards did nothing to make them respect rules for the pleasure of all guests. Only one restaurant was open at the resort, not three as indicated on the website. The so called Beach Bar has worse service then Poste Italiane and lacks any atmosphere and innovation and offers hardly anything. This is a place basically for Russians so should be named Russia Mare instead.
