Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Seaside A Lifestyle Resort - Adults Only from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Seaside A Lifestyle Resort offers guests amazing sea views from nearly every room, and some guests even received upgrades to loft suites with private pools. The buffet stands out with its chef-prepared meals, especially the homemade pasta, wood-oven pizza, and exceptional desserts; UMI restaurant is frequently mentioned as an excellent dining experience. Guests can enjoy multiple pools and easy access to a crystal-clear beach ideal for snorkeling, while the gym and yoga facilities are top-notch. Although the hotel is ideally located, some guests have noted many steps due to its hillside location.

elegant view helpful staff unique meal

the hotel view is beautiful and elegant. we love there are lots of pools. all staff are so nice, always smiling and very helpful. i found everything was clean and nice. the food was delicious and each meal was unique.

i felt drinks choice was limited. cocktails are not consistent with quality and are either too weak or too strong. this happened often.

decent stay with some drawbacks

sea view room view varied buffet good buffet friendly staff cute staff unhelpful app resort app incorrect information terrible connection wi-fi connection

the view from my room was definitely a highlight. i booked a prime room sea view and waking up to it each morning was quite special. the food at the buffet was varied, i found something new to try each day. the staff was friendly and cute too (denys at the bar was particularly good).

the resort app was not very useful. it wasn't updated and the information was incorrect. i tried to contact reception via whatsapp, but no one answered (it was like a waste of time). also, the wi-fi connection was terrible throughout my stay.

Lovely Stay, Was very good!

wonderful spa facility extraordinary culinary experience prompt personel response kind staff

The SPA facility was wonderful, as was the hair salon. The Japanese Restaurant provided an extraordinary culinary experience. I really appreciated the prompt response of the personnel to requests. The staff were kind and very professional.

The resort photographers often circulated the pool areas daily. They tried to upsell their services. They sometimes disturbed guests resting poolside (which was a small annoyance).

Service

The reception was elegant. The ladies there were generous and helpful. There were powerful men always ready to assist guests with their needs. Kiki from guest relations always wore a lovely smile.

Rooms

I stayed in a Casa Swim Up Sea View room, and it was worth the extra expense. The room was serviced daily, and there were fresh towels. Plenty of drinks were always available in the room (which I appreciated).
