IL Mercato Splash Aqua Park 

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Il Mercato Hotel during my two-week stay over the Easter break. Travelling solo can sometimes feel daunting, but from the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly well looked after by the entire team. This was my 8th time staying at the hotel, and it continues to exceed my expectations every single time. The staff across all departments—reception, bar, restaurant, housekeeping, and the animation team—were outstanding; everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made a huge difference to my experience. A special mention goes to the animation team, especially Brazily, who made my stay truly memorable. He made sure I was always having a great time, whether it was joining in activities at the hotel or going out to beach parties—we went out twice, and I always felt completely safe, as he never left me on my own even for a moment, which I really appreciated as a solo traveller. The evening entertainment at the hotel was fantastic—I especially enjoyed the dance lessons with Brazily and playing darts, as there was always something fun and engaging happening. One of the most special moments of my stay was the surprise birthday celebration organised for me on the rooftop, complete with a beautiful cake, and the housekeeping team went above and beyond by decorating my room so thoughtfully (see pictures attached), which truly made me feel valued and celebrated. A special mention to Ahmed from the bar, who truly went above and beyond throughout my stay. He consistently served beautifully made cocktails and coffee, always with great attention to detail. On days when I missed lunch, he kindly made sure I was looked after by preparing beautifully cut fruits for me, which I really appreciated. He was always friendly, professional, and attentive, making every interaction a pleasure. What makes this hotel so special is the feeling it gives you—it doesn’t feel like a typical holiday stay, but more like returning to family. I will definitely be coming back again and again, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and fun-filled stay.
