Reviews
Positives:
• Cleanliness: Impeccable. Every area, from the rooms to the common spaces and the restaurant, was perfectly clean at all times.
• Friendly Staff: The staff were always friendly, attentive, and committed to ensuring guests had a pleasant stay.
• Location: Absolutely perfect. The hotel’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions, beaches, and other amenities.
• Restaurant: The food was very good, offering a wide variety of dishes that were both flavorful and well-prepared.
• Helpfulness: The team was always ready to assist with any questions or concerns, making the stay especially enjoyable.
• Pool Area: The pool area was not only exceptionally clean but also aesthetically pleasing. A truly relaxing environment.
Negatives:
Unfortunately, there was one issue in the pool area that slightly marred an otherwise positive experience. Although the hotel has clear pool rules stating that loungers should not be left reserved for more than one hour if unattended, some guests (mainly German tourists) ignored these rules. It was disappointing that the staff did not address this issue despite several reminders. This led to scenes reminiscent of other popular vacation spots, such as in Spain, where loungers were “reserved” with towels as early as 8:00 AM, and the guests only returned to use them after breakfast, around 10:30 AM. A more proactive approach from the staff would have been appreciated.
Conclusion:
This hotel offers an excellent stay with outstanding service, cleanliness, and a prime location. However, the lack of enforcement of pool rules may be frustrating for guests who wish to fully enjoy the pool area. With stricter rule enforcement, this hotel would be nearly perfect!
The staff truly made my stay special; from the warm welcome at reception to the friendly interactions with the cleaning team, gardener, and restaurant staff, everyone greeted me with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made all the difference.
The hotel is perfectly located, with direct access to an amazing beach. My room was not only comfortable but also beautifully appointed.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a memorable getaway. I can’t wait to return!
Their mocktail splash-o-fashion was mind blowing and a must try.!!
A week later, we returned, planning to spend even more money on cocktails. After an expensive lunch at their restaurant, we moved to the empty pool beds and let the kids play in the pool, just as we had done previously. However, we were told to leave as we were not residents. Despite having just spent a significant amount at their restaurant, we were denied access to both the pool and the beach beds, even when we offered to pay.
Left with no choice, we set up on the sand in the blazing 34-degree sunshine while I walked to find a more welcoming hotel. On my way back, an employee saw us struggling and suggested we move to a shaded area. I thought it was a kind gesture until he clarified that we couldn't use the loungers, just the shaded part of the beach.
We decided to leave and not spend any more money there. If you're not a resident, don't waste your money here; you're not welcome once they have it. Check with other hotels on the island before visiting. Some are very welcoming and allow you to use their facilities (Carnival and Crystal Cove, for example), while others charge a day rate (Sala was worth every penny). Avoid the ones that will take your money for food and drinks but not allow you to use their pool or loungers (like Banana Fan Sea).
