Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA

A pleasant hotel but not in our view a 4 star. Bathroom had small shower good water pressure, no bath it was however cleaned and fresh towels daily. The room had basic AC and the balcony furniture was very basic.
Hotel breakfast again was basic, there was only scrambled egg as a hot option no bacon etc etc.
the bar area was pleasant but no Draft beer which I personally couldn’t understand.
The outside pool was not heated during our October half term visit (turned off 15/10) and colder than the sea down the road. The hotel boasts a private beach but it’s a 5 minute walk and not connected.
Overall a 3 star with some additional perks like the spar. Didn’t eat in the restaurant as breakfast didn’t give us a positive vibe.

Hotel is beautiful, cool and beautifully clean.
Rooms are clean and cool but the beds are ridiculously hard and uncomfortable. We asked for toppers which they provided with no problem.

There is no literature anywhere as to when breakfast or dinner was served or any details about the spa. Be aware that if you use the spa it is €12 a day.

Breakfast is a continental one. They do have soya milk but not set up for vegans. I had bread rolls with jam and some tinned fruit.
Dinner is in a lovely setting, with relaxing music. It is silver service but the food is disapponting in general. My daughter ordered different dishes each night and said it was OK. I had salad (iceburg lettuce, tomato and onion) and risotto for 7 nights. There were grilled vegetables but the eggplant and cabbage was so bitter they were inedible. The order was incorrect a few times but I was told quite adamantly that this was what I had ordered. I didn't question anything again, we went into town to O'Neils and although it did not have the ambience, the food was infinitely better.

I did have a fall as the floors are slippery and the air con in the reception air drips onto the floor. I went to my room and asked for some ice as my knee swelled and I had to miss 2 days of travel as it was so swollen and bruised I couldn't bend it sat on the bus/coach. I showed the reception staff but there was no interest shown or the offer of any assistance. I did not mention it again.

The pool bar staff, cleaners and general maintenance people were always very friendly and between my English, French and their Italian, we had a few funny conversations.

At the hotel in the dining room we was waiting near on 2 hours for our main course. The rooms were okay, but there was no soundproof in the walls. The bed was not that great and uncomfortable, and the pillows were also uncomfortable also hard. You try to sleep, but you can't, there is infestations on the mattress and pillows, so expect bites when you wake up
