Island Beach Resort

I would say we paid for a 3* and we got maximum 2*. Annex rooms were in poor condition, there was clean bedding , the bathroom was tiny and shower was hopeless. Pool area very nice with a good view of the beach. This place was probably gorgeous 20-30 years ago. Poor quality access road to the hotel from the main road. If I’d of paid for 2* this is what I would have expected but it’s advertised as a 3*. We still had a great 4 day break but I would have moved if it was my once a year holiday. Food at the bar ok though and the strawberry daiquiris were lovely.

Honest review not what we paid for. We stayed here for a hen do with a group of 9 and booked 3 rooms. Unfortunately, the hotel was nothing like what we expected or on the pictures. We paid extra through Love Holidays for a two-bedroom hotel room, but instead we were placed in an old annex around a 5-minute walk from the main hotel. It wasn’t a two-bedroom room at all, it was more like a dated apartment with three beds in one open space and a kitchenette that looked like it should have been condemned. Amazingly, our room was actually the best out of the three. The bathroom was very basic,the toilet seat was broken, there was no toilet roll on arrival, and because there was no shower curtain, every shower flooded the bathroom. Only one plug socket worked, another was hanging off the wall, and the rest were broken.The biggest disappointment was that our group was split across three separate annex complexes, with some friends staying nearly a 10-minute walk from the hotel. One of the annex pool areas was completely closed, and the pool near our block wasn’t clearly marked as belonging to the hotel or the beach bar. The main pool itself was nice enough, but we were asked to move from the double sunbeds after sitting there for 30 minutes because they required a paid wristband. We would happily have paid if we’d been told beforehand, but it felt poorly communicated and like they just wanted me to move. The pool shower also didn’t work, so everyone was rinsing sandy feet in the bathroom sinks, making it dirty. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and the rep didn’t pressure us into buying excursions or party wristbands. It’s such a shame because this place has loads of potential, in a great location. A few relatively minor repairs and better maintenance would make a huge difference. Overall, I’d recommend shopping around, as there are much nicer, cleaner hotels nearby on the beachfront that felt better value for money.
