We spent a few days at the sielen diva and everything was incredible: the sea view, the pool is super nice and quiet. The staff are so friendly and smiling. And the restaurant offers so many choices. I recommend it 100% !
This boutique Hotel, delivers discrete but attentive service in all areas. All rooms have stunning views over the ocean and the beds extremely comfortable. Housekeeping was covert and rooms served and turned down whilst you were dining. Perfect. I would have loved a hairdryer which was reflective of the standard everywhere else - for long hair the one supplied wasn’t effective. Breakfast was delicious and varied everyday of our 7 night stay with a wine list to match. It was encouraging to see measurements being taken for new sofa covers and a missing set of pool loungers whilst we were there, great to see continued investment. The beach is beautiful but access is not really possible due to rocks and currents - walk to the right past the big hotel if you want to swim, but please don’t do the tourist thing and ‘touch and grab’ the turtles… let them be. Over all a great stay, we would recommend for a few nights.
Our stay was, unfortunately, a major disappointment. The towels were old, thin, and poor in quality. There weren’t even enough loungers by the pool to relax properly, and the few available cushions were dirty. Some mosaic tiles in the pool were already coming loose – not exactly inviting. The lobby featured old, stained couches that you’d rather not sit on. In our room, the windows were rusty and outdated, with wobbly and unstable handles – everything felt run-down. Throughout the entire property, staff constantly hovered around, tidying up, making it hard to feel any sense of privacy. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the manager – a woman with a scarf who kept walking around and watching guests, making you feel more like an intruder than a welcomed visitor. Warmth and hospitality? None to be found. All in all, the place felt more like a museum than a relaxing vacation spot. We will definitely not be coming back.
