Starlight Resort Hotel - All Inclusive

We stayed as a multigenerational family of 7 Hotel: Large imposing and grand building with a beautiful lobby and stunning and well maintained botanical gardens. We had several room types: single, double deluxe and family duplex. All were well laid out and sufficient. Mini bars were replenished and rooms well thought out. As a couple with older children this is by far the best room option that we’ve had for a holiday stay. Very occasional issue with towels/cleaning but remedied quickly on request. Rooms slightly dated but again not a concern. Food: Food was plentiful and very enjoyable with varied options. If you want a full English type breakfast you won’t find it here but you will find tasty alternatives. Lunch and dinner options were great but closure of the food stalls and sunrise restaurant was disappointing and narrowed options of location to eat. The hotel I believe was winding down for seasonal closure. We paid 20 euro pp supplement for the seafood restaurant which wasn’t in my opinion worth the money with one of the courses unavailable with no alternative. The coffee stations were a great addition with a real barista experience on hand. Staff: staff were generally friendly and accommodating, always willing to help. English is less widely spoken and it took a little More creativity to explain ourselves to staff. As mentioned in other posts regarding preferential treatment depending on nationality, I didn’t spot this directly but I did note that guests from some other cultures were more assertive, not queuing and some almost appearing abrupt. Coming from the UK this was quite alien but was neither the fault of the hotel or other guests. One thing I was less comfortable with was the large volume of male groups. This is a huge hotel hosting conferences and football tournaments. I felt less comfortable allowing my teenage daughter to wander freely with large groups of men drinking and congregating between their activities. the location was little remote but not unlike many other large resorts, I would have preferred something more than the usual fake brand/souvenir type shops nearby. Facilities were great with plenty of room to wander the grounds, ample places to sit and plenty of room poolside. The beach was well maintained with sun beds available. The shingle on the beach is tough on your feet but the sea warm in October We didn’t tend to opt into the entertainment but there as a well advertised programme available. This is a great hotel with fabulous facilities and grounds. Minor issues occurred but nothing that spoiled the experience. We would certainly return here
