“Great food but not worth the TUI self appointed 4*”

There’s some great things about this place and some not so good. It’s pretty remote, so if you like going for a walk and visiting a few shops/restaurants then you will need a hire car. Taxis are very expensive, €35 return to Porto Ottiolu (6 min drive), we went again on a Friday, same trip €70???… more

There’s some great things about this place and some not so good. It’s pretty remote, so if you like going for a walk and visiting a few shops/restaurants then you will need a hire car. Taxis are very expensive, €35 return to Porto Ottiolu (6 min drive), we went again on a Friday, same trip €70??? No idea why. If you’re happy staying on site then this won’t be a problem. The resort is long and thin so you’ll get some steps in which we didn’t mind, pool and evening entertainment at the top end of the resort, main restaurant in the middle and beach at the bottom obvs. There’s also an ala carte pizza restaurant and bar near the beach end (no beach bar though) The beach itself isn’t the greatest, move further along for better sections. The hotel’s area is seaweed and rock heavy. Rooms are average and aged but relatively clean, bathroom and shower elements had limescale/scum build up around them. There’s regular power cuts on the resort, longest lasted around 5 minutes but most just a 30 second blip. I felt sorry for the evening entertainment having to pick songs up half way through 😂 Pool area is clean and great access for drinks at the bar. There is a food caravan at the pool but this is a bit of a joke. One chef in there trying to cater for a lot of guests. If you order you are told 40 minute wait regardless. You’re not told if your food is ready, just have to go up and check and sometimes it’s been ready for a long time and it’s now cold. Elements of your order are missed as they’ve inevitably been handed out to someone else. Just get a simple ticket numbering system and call it out. One chef used his hand to scoop fries onto the plates, it’s sweaty in there too. I stopped using it as was unwell for a day afterwards. The food in the main restaurant was excellent, all fresh home cooked local dishes, seafood etc. If you’re after chicken nuggets or burger and chips, you won’t get it here. Desserts were good. Ice cream for the kids, wipe the scoop after taking it from the water bowl as the ice cream turns to soup after a few visits. Service in the restaurant was pretty patchy, some days you are taken to a table as you enter, table re-set out, table water provided, drinks order taken. Other times, which was the vast majority for us, you find your own table and are just ignored, we had to get our own cutlery sometimes and flag someone down to order drinks. Not overly bothered but it just seemed strange and worth flagging, maybe someone dedicated front of house would help co-ordinate it all.
