Hotel was pleasant. Rooms ok, food good. Not much interaction with staff as per previous reviews we werent Italian. Cleaning staff and grounds people were always saying hello and interacting. But Super Max is your man for booking any trips. He is a star!! He will definately give you a darn good time in Sal. He is on the beach from the hotel to the sea. Go and see him for all your trip needs. Kind regards to you Super Max. Matt and family

“A Gem of a resort”

This is a seriously well run resort, spotlessly clean, plenty of sun beds both around a sparkling if chilly salt water pool and on the magnificent beach. Staff were universally friendly, helpful and competent. Special shout out to the bar and animation teams. Food was fresh and appetising. In answer to some of the criticisms I read before going, yes the walls of the bungalows are very thin but I really liked the shanty chic vibe of the brightly coloured huts nestled in the lovely garden If you need solid walls go to a concrete block somewhere. Yes this is an Italian hotel but the staff all spoke reasonable English and the guests were very varied in nationality. My only gripe was the WIFI is truly terrible , nothing at all in the rooms and precious little in reception, some days I struggled even to download emails. That notwithstanding, I'd like to think I would return here.

“Average at best”

Having stayed at numerous all inclusive hotels this ranks as one of the worst. Location wise its nice but there is only one pool and 2 bars.

Having stayed at numerous all inclusive hotels this ranks as one of the worst. Location wise its nice but there is only one pool and 2 bars. What they call the beach bar is a small restaurant facing the beach. The rooms are VERY dated and old fashioned, not been decorated in years. Damp patches on ceiling all paint is chipped, marked and scuffs on the walls. No kettle or drink making facilities and the tiny fridge is so old too. There is also only 2 sockets one in main room and one in bathroom. NO WIFI reception at all. The errrrr patio is a table and 2 tiny uncomfortable chairs on the grass outside. Reception staff not friendly at all, 3 times we asked for an extra pillow it never arrived. They simply didn't seem interested in UK guests and wouldn't exchange escudos back to Euros when we asked so we had to spend them. Staff at all the bars were not friendly either. Cleaning staff did an ok job and towels etc all changed. Entertainment was the same singer every night and theatre not much better and no drinks or bar at the theatre. You are also shouted at if you try to take drinks back to your room never known staff like it!!!!! Main dining room gets way too hot and is NOT full air conditioner, when busy they can't keep up clearing the tables too so you have to use a table with dirty dishes on and get your own cutlery and serviettes etc. Food was OK had better though. All in all a disappointing stay, not made to feel welcome and staff at times rude. A basic 3 star at best we would NOT recommend.
