    We visited during the off season so were one of the few guests staying at the property. The staff were SO nice and friendly and accommodated a late check out. The pool was amazing and super clean, the beach was also very nice. Wifi connectivity was great and stretched out to the pool. The only thing that could have been better was the AC in the room, it didn't work at times and when it did it didn't change the room temp very drastically. Overall very good experience.

    Their bias for Italians and the fact that 90% of the time they play Italian Music. Clearly, their focus is on Italians, and Italian Speaking clients.

    We had some spiders in the room… and I really hate spiders… Everything is written is italian, no english…

    Located right in front of the seven islands, with it’s private beach next to little shops. The pool is amazing, right temperature and really clean. Ping pong table, little boutique, nice bar with tables in the shade where we were playing cards. The buffet restaurant was excellent. We had everything we needed!

    The rooms don't have Wi-Fi and telephones for communication and also check out time is restricted to 10:00am they should be flexible like other places to extend to 12:00noon atleast.

    Everything was awesome about the Seven Islands Resort from the location, staff and food just a few things to improve on like providing WiFi and intercoms for communication in the rooms then it will be 10/10. Otherwise loved my one week stay there!

    They dont have many food options. The have a variety for foreigners, and if you have a small kid especially they serve mostly dry foods. Most instructions, esp in the room pamphlets, are in italian. Think they should also consider translating.

    The location is perfect. Staff are friendly. Its right by their private beach so no outsiders bothering you at the beach. They have 3 swimming pools which is great. The kitchen was kind enough to cook us a meal as requested. Above all, the stay was perfect.

    On arrival we were not given proper orientation about our stay and the facility. I had to keep calling the reception on mobile to inquire about meals, dining area etc. Breakfast did not have a variety of foods to select from and there were no vegetables at breakfast.

    The beach was very close to the hotel and the food at lunch was very good.

    The food options at dinner and breakfast was very minimal, lots of starch options, limited meat & dessert options and no brewed coffee

    The size of the pool is excellent and they have a smaller one too with less people It’s right on the beach which is a plus
