Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Seaside A Lifestyle Resort offers breathtaking sea views from every room, thanks to its location on a hillside. Guests often praise the varied and high-quality buffet selections, as well as the crepes available at the poolside bar and excellent cocktails at the central bar. The suite on the rocks with a private pool is frequently mentioned as very clean and spacious. Some guests have noted that the pool wall can be slimy at times, though most find the overall experience exceptional, with tennis and paddle courts also available.

Really good Stay!

prompt response kind staff fresh towels special experience

The staff responded quickly to requests (so that was very convenient). The staff members were very kind. very professional. The rooms were serviced daily and fresh towels were always available. The swim-up room.

The bar near the pool sometimes ran out of my favorite spirits.

The buffet food was VERY good. The desserts were AMAZING!!! I especially enjoyed the crepes at the poolside bar. The cocktails at the central bar were excellent.

The pool wall was slimy. Some tiles around the edge were uneven. I also noticed some tiles inside the pool were broken. I found only unbranded house spirits were served.

underwhelming 'luxury' stay

crowded pool limited drinks

I was excited about the supposed luxury, but some things just didn't measure up. the drinks at the bar felt chaotic. i often waited in line and not all drinks were part of the all-inclusive deal. also, the pool was always packed. It felt more like an 18-30s beach club.
