I just returned from a wonderful week at this hotel, and I can't rave enough about the beautiful setting and the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special. The stunning views and peaceful atmosphere truly set it apart. However, we did encounter a few hiccups with the spa booking process and room cleaning that fell short of my expectations. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would recommend it, just be aware of the minor issues with service.

We spent a week at this outstanding hotel and enjoyed every moment. The location was peaceful with stunning views, making it perfect for relaxation. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. While the dining options were varied and delicious, I felt the half-board selection could have been slightly broader. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but the early morning sunbed reservations by other guests were a bit annoying.

Our stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The view and tranquil surroundings were truly beautiful, making it a peaceful retreat. However, the room left much to be desired in terms of updates and privacy, especially for a honeymoon. While the service was generally accommodating, we encountered issues that detracted from the experience. I would recommend this place if you're looking for scenery and a relaxing vibe, but be wary of the room quality.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful, featuring excellent service and a fantastic yacht tour that I highly recommend. The room was spacious but could use some minor updates to bring it to the level of the rest of the facility. The breakfast was a mixed bag; while some items were delicious, the hot food left a bit to be desired. Overall, it’s a lovely place to unwind but could improve on a few fronts to match its potential.

We had a wonderful time at the Emelisse Nature Resort, where the staff made our experience feel truly special with their attentiveness and care during our stay.

My experience at Emelisse was quite disheartening. While the location offered beautiful views from various points in the resort, our stay was marred by excessive noise from a party-like atmosphere that completely contradicted the promise of relaxation. The staff was unapologetic and unhelpful during our escalation of concerns. Though the resort area itself was nicely laid out and inviting, the overall experience did not match the expectations for a nature resort, especially considering the high prices we paid.

Rooms
