Lovely location within 20x mins of the airport transfer. Hotel situated within a group of 3. Not a 5 star, 3 star max. Beach is wonderful but incredibly windy, the sunshades are threadbare and do not give enough shade. Watch for the flags to know when safe to enter the sea. Room 4655 was not ready for us ( when we arrived approx 2pm) for over an hour (seaview room), but luckily Jamina gave us our full inclusive tags to be able to use the facilities. Room was clean but basic, dark with seaview ruined by the Bikin Beach hub?? and unfortunately for us infested with mosquitoes. After 2x nights and 70+ bites (even with skin repellents) we asked at reception and the room could be fumigated!!!! This should've been done BEFORE their guests entered. No more bites at all after this, but damage had been done. A nightmare. An earlier booked trip to the salt lakes we paddled in, with Tui really helped and would recommend it. Very little hot water not nearly enough for a 'luxury' spa bath that was in the room. Barely enough for 2x 2x min showers. Food was samey daily but as EVERYTHING is imported we thought it was OK and we found something to eat everyday. The Roast pork (we had once) was lovely. The roast beefs and steaks imo like shoe leather far too over cooked. Salads were good, bottled water on hand everywhere. Thank goodness as you cannot drink the tap water. It will make you poorly. Carla,Daniel,William and Fracilina are all great happy smiley staff on the bars. Cocktails are basic though but nice. Use factor 50 as a minimum higher if you can get it at the general store the wind burn is as bad as the sun burn. Pools were lovely and clean and inviting. Security great and handy. If you don't change your towels daily you get an officious letter telling you to change them after every days pool visit. Surely if we are happy to keep them for the duration, if it helps on the cleaning, environment, sustainability etc? A trip to Santa Marie with fairly aggressive selling techniques ' lovely English people so generous' clocking our inclusive bands ' oh you are from such and such hotel, so generous' ' hello my Sister from England, come see my gifts'. After being approached 8x times in half an hour, we vacated quickly, spent 2x hours (mainly in a cafe) then took a taxi back for 5 euros. Always barter. They start at 20 euros for most everything. Two highlights I must mention: 1/ Take a tour of the Island with the lodster dinner incredibly informative and food was delicious. 2/ Natural Botanical gardens well worth a visit. A wonderful green oasis with animals roaming and a lovely little cafe for tea and cakes. Spent a lovely 3x hours here.
