We have just returned from an idyllic 8 night stay at Villa Di Mare. On arrival late evening, we were shown to our room and given a tour of the hotel. We booked a Superior Club Suite with private pool which was modern, very clean and roomy. The pool was cold, but in May that was expected as it is the beginning of the season. The bed was very comfortable, the AC good and the kitchenette with fridge was useful. My husbands only complaint about the room was the position of the TV on a post facing the sofa. This could not be turned to watch from the bed. Our TV did not have Netflix which I believe some rooms have. Saying that, we were on holiday so TV wasn’t the most important thing to do. As mentioned in another couple of posts, the hotel is below the local Chabad and this was extremely busy during our visit. The walkway to it was above the side of our pool and this was noisy at times. I was also conscious of it overlooking our pool. We ate in the hotel restaurant the first evening and the chef made a delicious off-menu vegetarian meal for us. We did plan to eat there another evening but sadly did not get round to it. Breakfast was included in our package and this was well worth the extra cost. The breakfast stand with pastries (sweet & savoury), cheese and fruit/salad was tasty. We also enjoyed the Sahara Bowl, yogurts and avocado toasts which were all included if requested. The pool area was beautiful, the tiled areas cleaned early every morning and the cocktails at the pool bar were amazing. Music was chilled and unobtrusive. The views from the restaurant and bar are stunning and sunset is not to be missed. Buses are easy to pick up (possibly busy in high season) with tickets for sale in the supermarkets across the road. There is a taxi rank about 5 mins walk away. We will definitely be visiting again next year but will go for one of the Elite Suites which have the private pool but are positioned near the pool, away from the main building. Full credit needs to go to the staff, not sure of all their names - Athena spoke to us every day to ensure we were happy and Jordan was welcoming and so friendly.
