CASUARINA RESORT & SPA
With its white walls of white, its mid-Greek, Middle Moorish buildings, its games of staircases and half-levels, the Casuarina plays the charm map. On the other side of the road, facing a small beach, it is an easy-to-live and friendly village-village, not too large and comfortable. A private garden immediately enveloping, 93 rooms a little old but comfortable and 15 comfortable bungalows all round for 4 to 6 people with lovely private terraces under pergolas, this is the summer book! Common structures all in playful curves for the 3 restaurants and 2 bars in large rondavels covered rondavels. In retreat, a lovely spa with relaxation pool lined with deckchairs, 4 bathrooms, hammam. Many land and water activities, 2 swimming pools, 1 jacuzzi, games room, gym, miniclub for 3-11 years, bicycle rental, boathouse, diving centre.
Stayed for two weeks with my girlfriend on vacation.
1st week all inclusive & 2nd week half board.
Food is a buffet style with a nice 3 star variety & tasted nice, chefs were good & attentive with some fresh cooking in front of customers at places, food is as I would expect for a 3 star resort.
Our room was clean & we had 2 single beds pushed together to make a king size which was adequate & did not have a "gap between bed" issue so we slept fine. We did try to find an English speaking movie channel but there was none available only BBC news was in English, as we were here for sun it was OK but the sun goes down at around 6pmish so would be nice if there was a movie channel available in English.
Bar service was mediocre with some staff not very attentive & deciding to finish typing text messages before approaching customers & also chatting amongst themselves when there is a customer waiting. I dont mind staff using mobiles & chatting when there are no customers to serve but when there are customers, I like to be noticed promptly.
Activities were offered daily & I was particularly impressed by Jonathan & Stephanie in the activities team, who made effort to speak with us on several occassions & was very pleasant & great staff members, also Patrick the boat captain was also very nice, accomodating & friendly.
