Sas Linnas Siccas Holidays from NZ$1,488

While the "beach" club isn't exactly convenient and there is no beach (so you can only sit on rocks unless you want to spend a small fortune on a daybed), the hotel and facilities were lovely.

Nice hotel, good sized rooms. Unfortunately some of its facilities were not operational such as the beach club, second (beachfront) restaurant). Air conditioning in the room did not work. Staff seemed functional but not particularly welcoming. Perhaps they felt it was the end of the season. Maybe they should fully function and then close rather than stay half open.

Nice pool area and beach access. The quality of the food was quite bad, almost tasteless but on general a good experience excluding that.

The grounds are beautiful, well maintained, peaceful. Staff is very friendly especially with children. We had a wonderful time both at the poolside and at the beach. The multiple pool sizes were great for children. The beach is not as isolated as the pictures lead on. Yes, there are enough beach chairs for hotel customers, but to either side of that designated area are crowds of Italians enjoying the beach. If you want isolated… this is not for you. We personally had a great time though. People respected the hotel area and did not overcrowd the water either. Water is clean and the sand is white and soft. It really is beautiful. As for the resort, a few negative things to mention. I wish the cleaning staff were more diligent with details and replaced things that were empty or missing since it’s a 5 star hotel. For example my robe was missing for 3 days until I called to get it replaced, body wash was finished and not replaced until I asked someone. The restaurant and pool bar are great, I just wished they had daily specials for children. After a week, the menu gets boring. Another thing to note, if you are allergic to bees or afraid of them, this might not the place for you. The staff really tries hard to control them but they are very bothersome at breakfast and dinner. At times you feel like you are battling bees instead of enjoying your meal. But again… I think that is part of nature there. Overall, my family did love it and would stay there again.

Stayed at Hotel Abi d'Oru for 6 night late August/early September and had a wonderful experience. The place is gorgeous, close to the beach and the staff is super attentive. I enjoyed the restaurant the most, starting with a fantastic breakfast, with a great selection of fresh ripe fruit pastries and egg dishes, and usually ending with dinner there. The restaurant at the hotel is absolutely superb with a new menu every day and fantastic pasta dishes with truffles and ragouts and stuff. After trying to have dinner outside the hotel, a few nights, we ended up reverting to having dinner at the hotel as the food there was massively superior to other places. I wanted to mention how attentive, welcoming and friendly the staff was, in particular at the restaurant as well as the cleaning staff as it truly contributed to a great experience. Finally we also had a fantastic experience at the GUARINO shop at the hotel where the selection of clothing was absolutely superb and the salesperson, Constantina was just so nice and passionate about her job, often recommending pieces of clothing that we ended up buying, even calling my friend with a lot of affection in her eyes, a Bellissimo Bambini... In short it was a wonderful experience all around.
