We had a lovely holiday at D’Andrea Mare and there were definitely some things we really enjoyed about the hotel.
The positives: The hotel was very clean, and our room was kept exceptionally clean throughout our stay. We also appreciated the fresh bottles of water provided every day. The food was very good, with plenty of choice, and we never struggled to find something we enjoyed. The views from the hotel were amazing, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming.
The negatives: Unfortunately, the drinks were a real disappointment. The spirits served at the bar didn’t taste good at all and, at times, we honestly weren’t sure what we were drinking. There was also no option to pay extra for premium spirits, which would have been a nice choice. Even the beer wasn’t great and tasted as though it had been watered down with soda.
The other major disappointment was the sun loungers around the pool. They were very old and uncomfortable, and unfortunately this did affect our holiday. When you’re on holiday, being able to relax around the pool is a big part of the experience, and we found it difficult to do that comfortably.
Overall: D’Andrea Mare is a nice, clean hotel with friendly staff, good food and amazing views. However, the poor quality of the drinks and, particularly, the old and uncomfortable sun loungers really let it down for us. Sadly, these are the two things that would stop us from returning.
We had a wonderful experience, and a big part of it was thanks to the fantastic staff.
A special thank you to Marta and Niko at the pool bar. They were always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable. Their excellent service and positive attitude really made a difference.
We would also like to thank Mohammed from the restaurant service. He was professional, polite, and always made sure we were well looked after. His attention to detail and friendly manner made our dining experience even more enjoyable.
All three of them are a real credit to the team. Their hard work, kindness, and excellent service made our stay even more special. Thank you, Marta, Niko, and Mohammed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Definitely recommend this lovely hotel , the staff are so welcoming and friendly , they also love to have a laugh with you , it’s so clean and well looked after , the food is also amazing , probably the best all inclusive food we have had. The pool bar staff will make sure you’re always hydrated, and will make your drink to your expectations. The rooms are always clean and well maintained, had no issues whatsoever. Always stocked up with water and fresh towels. Your always guaranteed a sunbed whether that’s around the pool area or on the beach. The spa and indoor pool is amazing, very relaxing and offer massages too. It’s very suitable for kids with entertainment on every night and making sure kids feel welcome to get involved. The receptionists are very helpful with, information about the surrounding areas, and any queries about your stay that you need to know. This lovely hotel is definitely at the top of my lists of places to come back to, I couldn’t recommend enough. A 10/10 rating just isn’t enough for how amazing this place is!
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay, all the staff we encountered were helpful and the animation team were not pushy, if you said no thankyou to joining an activity they respected that and moved on. The hotel whilst very convenient for the airport was a little too far away from other bars and restaurants, the only close one being Rainbow a little walk along the beach where cocktails were great. A few more places within walking distance would have been nice on an evening. There is a Lifeguard around the pools but he seemed to spend most of his time behind the pool bar chatting to the barman or washing glasses- we didnt see him watching the pool as much as we would have perhaps expected. Overall a lovely stay but because there are not many places to walk to close by I don't think we would return. Great facilities for kids though.
We had an amazing stay at D’Andrea Mare. From the moment we arrived we were treated so well by staff who accommodated to our late arrival by providing food despite arriving after dinner ended. One of the highlights was the amazing service from the pool bar, especially Niko and Marta. They made our experience so special and brought so much fun and amazing service. The location is stunning and having access to sun-beds next to the sea was another one of our favourite things. Such an amazing time, definitely hope to come again soon 😁
