Sotavento Luxury Holidays

The property itself is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but the overall experience fell short of what I would expect from a traditional resort. It feels less like a conventional resort and more like renting someone else’s vacation property, with a timeshare-like atmosphere. Check-in was somewhat cumbersome, and getting around the property and accessing the various amenities was unnecessarily complicated. The shuttle system requires reservations for each trip, which made getting from one area to another feel inconvenient rather than relaxing. Unfortunately, the service was another area that could use significant improvement. The front desk staff we encountered came across as discourteous and seemed bothered when we had questions. The resort also partners with an outside company to manage several of the restaurants and the pool, and our experience with the pool staff—particularly the servers—was disappointing. Service felt slow and unmotivated, which took away from what should have been a relaxing pool experience. Overall, the property is attractive, but the service, logistics, and overall resort experience did not live up to our expectations. We expected more and ultimately felt that the property did not deliver the level of service or convenience we anticipated.

Hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful.Pool area is very cramped and if you can't get a space ,a sun bed and umbrella opposite the hotel ,are available but you have to pay 15 euros, even though it is to do with the hotel.Also check your bill when leaving as we were going to be charged for 2 drinks which we never had. They said sorry
