Tala accommodation from AU$118

This property has great potential but unfortunately for an 'all-inclusive resort' it was very limited. The building/rooms were decent and clean. The bed was comfy but the pillows were awful. Unfortunately most of the staff were not friendly and made you feel like you were putting them out to clarify or ask for anything. There was very little entertainment or activities. There is only 1 buffet style eating area - the other 'restaurants' were closed until May - so cannot comment on the food/service. The food was basic at best - cafeteria quality. The salad bar was the best choice by far with lots of options and variety and build your own. Bottled water was limited or you had to pay for it, drinks/cocktails were only offered during specific times and ended early right on the dot - if you were in line at 1 min to midnight and midnight hit, you had to pay. You are not allowed to take food out of the buffet area and absolutely no take away. Some of the serving staff were excellent but they were few and far between. Most of the servicing staff were very surly and it seemed as if you were bothering them to ask for food or cutlery or coffee cups or glasses, which ran out frequently. The chair cushions as well as the lounge cushions around the pool were not clean. Thankfully the weather was good and we were with friends and family for a wedding so we made the best of it.

went for 59th wedding anniversary meal at Bacco this hotel excels in all ways

A great find and would certainly return. Hotel room (superior suite) came with well equipped kitchen ( dishwasher, individual tablets available from the hotel shop), bathroom and shower room. Good WiFi in rooms too. Air conditioning was effective. Plenty of space to relax. Nice clean pools, with quick service at the pool bar and choice of recliners - some of which faced out to sea. We chose half board and it was great value for money. Good range of breakfast, including local breads and pastries. Evening meals were also good, lots of different salads, and a different theme each night. Service was very polite and quick. It’s a quiet relaxing hotel and good value for money.
