If you are looking at booking this hotel then I say go for it! We’re just leaving after 12 nights here and have loved it. Do the rooms need a bit of work here and there… yes, HOWEVER they are cleaned immaculately every day with care. Are there mosquitoes.. yes, you’re in Africa, it’s up to you to bring the correct prevention, we bought lemon shower gel, mosquitoes bands, plug in for room and spray, we have 2 bites between 4 people. Never saw a cockroach but again if it do you’re in Africa! Food was hot and plentiful, bookable restaurants were ate at numerous times and they were all good. If people have bad stomaches then it’s not the food and perhaps i personal hygiene or too much alcohol 😜 Pool.. now this is a bit of a pain but if the 9am rule was not there then most of the beds would be gone way before that. We were up and at breakfast before then so never failed to get beds together. If you want clean cut white lined no character hotel then this isn’t for you. This is our families take on the Funana, you’ll have your own 😎

Hotel is great. Well laid out. Restaurants are great for service. Quick and polite staff. Bar staff are lovely. Very quick to get to serve you. Pool area is large and plenty of sunbeds. Gates open at 9.00 but never found more the 10 ahead getting there at 8.50. Pool is quite cool in the morning lol. The hotel is in a great location. And santa maria the local town is lovely. Taxi is 5 euro each way.

Lovely hotel, very clean and well kept gardens. All of the staff work hard and are friendly. Lots going on if you want to get involved. Lots of variation of food but was a bit hit and miss and we all got dodgy stomachs. The 3 restaurants you had to book were easy to book via the RIU app, the Asian was ok, the Kulinarium was better but the menu didn't change in 2 weeks. The steak restaurant was awful, so we didn't go there again. Not enough sunbeds round the pool and some of them broken so stressful in the morning when trying to locate any. Really didn't need this stress when on holiday..most people put their towels down and then go off, despite signs saying not to do this. Which weren't enforced. This needs addressing. Plenty of sun loungers down by the beach which is where we went mostly. Drinks in swim up bar weren't great, premixed cocktails which tasted bad. Drinks much better in the bars. Rooms were fine and cleaned every day. Lots of space to hang clothes. Aircon wasn't that good though and the ceiling fan looked like it was going to fall off! Overall we had a good holiday and enjoyed Sal, only a short ride to Santa Maria from the hotel. We did eat out more than I was expecting just to get a better food experience. I wouldn't return to this hotel though because of the food and sunbed situation

Hola.Escribo desde el hotel con una dececion tremenda por el tema de la celiaquia.NO RECOMIENDO A NINGUN CELIACO este hotel.Todos los dias pelea para conseguir que nos hagan un pancake simplemente sin gluten.Te marean, te dicen que si y media hora despues que no.Estaban avisados desde antes de llegar y en principio comentandolo en recepcion no habia problemas.Pero no es cierto, nos han decepcionado completamente además de sentirnos estafados.Ya comento que ibamos sin grandes exigencias pero algunos trabajadores nos ignoraban y nos decian que sí, que lo preparaban y nosotros esperando , 30 min despues con mala cara qie teniamos q haber avisado en recepcion ..etc Mil excusas cuando hemos seguido en todo momento las instrucciones dadas .

Très bien mais besoin de réfection des chambres : tâches moustiques à nettoyer sur les murs et draps, miroirs à remplacer, rideaux occultants moisis et en tissus déchirés à changer, porte à mettre entre la salle de bain et la chambre pour de l'intimité, mettre une porte au niveau du placard car le rideau de perles sentait le renfermé
