Tonje Flaaten

This is not a 5 star. It’s a 4 star at best on a good day. The food is mediocre. It only has 1 buffet restaurant (I got sick one night after eating there and I never get sick). The other restaurant the Bounty has better food than the buffet, however it doesn’t matter what you order it all pretty much taste the same and plated with the same garnish. The grilled food is loaded with butter from a tin that is used for seafood, meats and crustaceans. If you have a food allergy …. I wouldn’t eat there. I expect the same goes for the buffet The 5 star service a 5 star traveler expect is non existent. The property is only 7 years old and it looks like it’s about 20 years old. You will receive nothing that makes you believe you are at a 5 star property. You will not have robes and slippers in your room. Your minibar will have 2 bottles of water. You will receive no welcome gifts or even a bellboy to offer to bring your luggage to your room. Or an offer to bring your luggage from the room. After spending 1 night in an unconditioned room, I expected some sort of complimentary item from the hotel. I don’t even think that crossed their minds. You are probably better off going with a 3 or 4 star compared for the price. It’s absolutely not worth the stay.

Great beach hotel

Wanted a comfortable clean modern hotel within walking distance of the town and right next to the beach - that’s exactly what we got! Great location, perfect for those who don’t want one of the all-inclusive hotels and want the buzz of Santa Maria close by - a 15 min stroll along the beach path, no need for a taxi. Great facilities, great pool, and an ideal spot on the beach. On top of that, one of its greatest assets is the bounty beach bar/restaurant in front on the beach itself. Room + bathroom was clean, spacious and tidied every day, bed was comfortable and our courtyard facing room was peaceful quiet all night. Breakfast buffet had great choice. Staff were always friendly and helpful.
