We found Fodele beach resort to be really good value for money - we had a lovely holiday, the staff were fun and friendly, the facilities were good. It’s a bit out of the way, there’s not much within walking distance given the heat, but you can easily hire a car on site or book a taxi if you want to go further afield. The app makes checking activities and making bookings very easy, and when we couldn’t get a booking in one of the restaurants that way, we contacted staff and they sorted it out for us. The sunbeds by the main pool get very busy - this is where the “action” is during the day, but we always found space at the smaller pool down by the beach or at the beach itself. It’s on a hillside - so be aware, you will be walking up and down steps a lot. However there is a train (literally) that goes up and down during the day every few minutes (though it was a bit hell for leather!). The food in the main buffet restaurant was really good quality and I would happily have eaten there every evening, but you get variety through the a la carte restaurants as well (although we had the odd “miss” as well as hits when ordering there - namely the “submarine” dessert in the Cretan restaurant!). If I have any constructive feedback it would be: put a mirror in BOTH bedrooms of the family room, and invest in more/better gym equipment (there were only 2 floor mats?). The pay-as-you-go extras such as spa treatments and motorised water sports seemed a bit expensive to me but those are optional obviously and we didn’t miss them.
