iH Hotels Villasimius Le Zagare Resort

The grounds were very picturesque, was nice being surrounded by fruit trees, flowers, well maintained gardens to wander around, wonderful mountains in the backdrop of the nice large pool and attractive al fresco area. Stayed in the chalet-style room, they were very spacious as more suited for groups and families so it was nice to have extra space with large bathroom and balcony, the shower cubicle could be bigger though. The beach shuttle and children's playground was nice to have. The staff at reception were helpful and the evening music entertainment was pleasant. I don’t agree with the mandatory 10 Euros a day per person. This fee apparently covers costs for pool, beach shuttle service with sunbeds/umbrella on the beach, exercise machines which was a very small and underwhelming area with only 2 machines. I think it is unfair to make this a compulsory charge when some people wouldn't use all these facilities everyday. The hotel was already very expensive at £1620 for two rooms and just 4 nights so why should we pay more for these facilities which are already part of the hotel? As a supposedly 4 star hotel all these things should be included at no extra charge. Also, the restaurant was underwhelming for breakfast and lunch therefore didn’t want to try the dinner buffet and the town centre is a few minutes drive anyway with plenty restaurants. Please note there is no kettle in the room, there is a mini fridge to store your own refreshments. The rooms don’t have good sound proofing so can hear doors slamming etc and could do with some uplifting decor.

Rooms are basic but clean. No coffee making facilities, mini bar has water, and u can also add anything else u may want via reception or for personal use. The hotel itself is pleasant, reception was helpful also to note the booking as a couple e had to pay an additional eur 56 for tax and service charge of the hotel ie beach towel, beach entrance etc. Just take note that this is an additional cost that u have to pay at the hotel apart from the booking itself. Overall would return. Parking facility available for free a few meters away.

Average hotel, definitely not reflecting 4 stars, perhaps 2. The rooms were outdated, especially those on the lowest floor. The hospitaly was also average,but would invest my money for a proper hotel and nice experience.
