"We absolutely loved our week at LUX* Belle Mare in mid-October! Lovely weather overall, with occasional showers. We've never experienced weather changing so dramatically within literally five minutes! :)
The hotel is beautiful, modern and exceptionally clean. Staff are generally polite and helpful. Special mention to Jennifer, the Celebration Manager – absolutely loved her! The bar team is great too, although occasionally you might get the opposite of what you ordered! 😂 Housekeeping could be more attentive with minibar and coffee refills, but reception always sorted things quickly.
Food was a real highlight! Duck Laundry (Chinese) and Amari (Indian) are absolute must-visits. We went to Duck Laundry three times, even paying extra on All-Inclusive! Amari was equally fantastic. The buffet offers huge variety, but unfortunately, most hot food was cold. Desserts looked Instagram-worthy but lacked flavour.
The beach is probably the hotel's biggest advantage: stunning turquoise water, incredibly white sand and, importantly, beautifully clean. Having walked both ways along the coastline, we think it's one of the best around. The water was lovely in the sunshine, but surprisingly cold without it!
Our biggest disappointment was evening entertainment. The live band was nice, but performances were short, and we expected more atmosphere and variety.
Despite these little drawbacks, we had an amazing holiday. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommended – we'd happily return! ❤️"
