Nelia Sea Breeze

"We stayed at the Nelia Sea Nreeze for two weeks in mid September. A lovely newly renovated hotel. We were greeted by the extremely friendly reception staff whi explained everything that we needed to know for our stay. We arrived in the evening so we were given a snack bag as the restaurant had finished serving. We paid for a sea view and it did not disappoint. We were on the 4th floor at the end. A lovely clean and modern room. Balcony with table, chairs and drying rail. Room service was very attentive and friendly. The hotel is ideally located near shops and restaurants and a 10 minute stroll to the famous strip and beautiful harbour. The hotel has one pool and one child’s pool. We never struggled to get a lounger in a good spot. The animation team totally make this hotel with their enthusiasm and friendly natures. A 2 minute stroll takes you to the waterfront where there is a tiny beach. Turn left and you will be at the harbour in 10 minutes. The only negatives we had were the spa, the food and the drinks. The spa was a tiny univiting room, no calming music so all I could hear was the children screeching in the indoor pool. The table were you put your head was dirty so I shut my eyes so I couldn’t see it! We booked 2 massages and had a voucher from reception which offered a percentage off, the lady still ended up overcharging us. The food sadly for us was one of the worst for all inclusive that we have stayed at. Cold pancakes at breakfast even when the chef just placed fresh ones down. Lacking choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner for us. The dessert offering was tiny, never any variation on fruit, we were desperate for some melon! Always pear, plum, apple and orange and very occasionally some bananas. Ice cream freezer was always space, ice cream had no taste.We mostly ate out especially for the evening meal. I highly recommend Clarobel restaurant, amazing food, great atmosphere and very reasonably priced. The pool menu is confusing and makes AI guests seem like second class citizens. Only available to AI guests when the main restaurant is closed. Saw lovely plates coming out, burgers with salads and beautiful pizzas on wooden boards. Ordered a pizza it was equivalent to a Tesco 69p cheap one, like cardboard, not the same standard as ‘paying’ guests, which we were technically too! The cocktail menu wasn’t very extensive, no basic mojito’s. Iced coffees and milkshakes were charged extra! Never had this at a hotel before. Had fun with the bar tenders trying to explain how to make a baby Guinness! They didn’t succeed so we renamed it a Guinness baby! Overall would we stay again, yes but only on a B&B basis."

"Very nice hotel with a great service ! Rooms are clean and spacious with balconies with a nice sea view. The pool is nice and clean with many sunbeds. A huge variety in buffet with many choices of delicious food and drinks.. Animation team provided a mix of daytime sports, kids' activities, and evening entertainment designed for all ages. Many thanks to all the staff ! They all were very polite and helpful. Hotel is accessible to a small rocky beach or you can walk, ride a bike or take a bus to another beautiful beaches. I would highly recommend the hotel."

"Just got back from the most wonderful relaxing week here. Apologies for the long detailed review ahead! 😁 Booked relatively last minute, so didn’t do as much in depth research as I normally do for holidays but so happy with our choice! Location is brilliant, you are basically on the main road, so many shops and restaraunts etc, 5-10 min walk to the main strip. 1 minute walk down a slip path from the pool area leads onto the beachfront so you can walk along to the harbour. One of our favourite things was the fact there was no sunbed issues! Some mornings we didn’t get down til 10.30-11am and there was always still plenty of beds available which was great… never known it like that anywhere before! Not sure if the hotel was at capacity to help with this, but it seemed fairly full. We opted for an “inland view” room and Although directly below is the bins and brush land, beyond that is a brilliant view of the funfair along the road(lit up at night) and also a decent partial sea view! Really happy with that, and the room itself was so clean and so spacious compared to what we’re used to in hotels. Only thing I would say was the bathroom was very small/tight but not an issue at all. All inclusive is always a must, for drinks alone I would say. We’re not big breakfast people so skipped that, lunch & dinner buffet was very small, possibly the smallest selection we’ve ever seen anywhere which was a shame, but the food was nice.. simple enough you can always find something. Impressed with the cocktail menu & had the usual local spirits, soft drinks etc. There is a small pool bar menu for AI at certain times, we found that to be a bit nicer & tastier! You could also pay extra for other dishes off the a lacarte pool menu. The animation team were so funny, friendly and energetic, and there was a great atmosphere by the pool everyday. WiFi was great, connection never dropped out even by the pool. Staff we encountered were friendly. Considered giving 4 stars as did feel the buffet let it down, but all in all we just had the most amazing relaxing week and just felt so comfortable there. Would 100% return. Thankyou Nelia sea breeze 😎"
