Absolutely loved it here. The rooms were great and the view is unspoilt across the bay. Very quiet area too. The pools were nice to chill by however somewhat ruined by children playing in the pools with inflatables, it's family friendly but it's somewhat bipolar with how it's so luxurious and perfect to relax with a cocktail at the pool, but then a screaming child goes past on an inflatable pizza. However the staff throughout were fantastic and friendly and the food! The food was delicious, we ate in all the restaurants and even the main buffet was outstanding

We had a wonderful stay at Fodele Resort! The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and perfectly located with a great beach. The food was excellent with a superb menu offering plenty of delicious choices every day. The staff were amazing – always friendly, helpful, and even carried our luggage for us. A really thoughtful touch was the daily beach towel change, which made our beach days extra comfortable. What impressed us the most was the surprise birthday cake they prepared for my daughter, even though we hadn’t mentioned anything about her birthday – such a lovely gesture that made our stay unforgettable. Overall, it was a perfect holiday experience, and we would love to come back again!

Amazing holiday, rooms are being refurbished otherwise would have been five stars. Food great, awesome beach which is basically private as not many people there, it’s blue flag. Pools look small but actually fit everyone in perfectly, the downstairs pool was always empty. Waterpark was great with kids, train takes you up and down the hill every 5mins all day long. Service team go out of their way to make sure you’re happy
