CASUARINA RESORT & SPA
El Casuarina, con sus paredes encaladas de blanco, sus edificios semigriegos, mi medio árabe, sus juegos de escaleras y medias niveles, juega la carta del encanto. Al otro lado de la carretera, frente a una pequeña playa acondicionada, es un hotel-pueblo sencillo de vivir y distendido, no demasiado grande y confortable. Un jardín tropical inmediatamente envolvente, 93 habitaciones un poco pasadas pero confortables y 15 bungalows de color redondos para 4 a 6 personas, con adorables terrazas privadas bajo pérgolas, es el topo estival. Estructuras comunes en curvas lúdicas para los 3 restaurantes y los 2 bares acondicionados en grandes rondavels cubiertos de paja. Retirado, un bonito spa con piscina de relajación bordeado de tumbonas, 4 salas de tratamientos, hammam. Numerosas actividades terrestres y náuticas, 2 piscinas, 1 jacuzzi, sala de juegos, sala de musculación, miniclub para los 3-11 años, alquiler de bicicletas, boathouse, centro de submarinismo.
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.
