Pula Suites Boutique Resort

"There’s not much one can say on the fourteenth visit to an amazing boutique hotel; or is there? Every year we feel we’re returning to family; to our late summer home and this year was definitely no exception! The car drew up and we were greeted by a new person on reception, Hajar, however she knew we were loyal guests and checked us into our favourite suite smoothly! Our first stop was the pool bar, and here another new face, Jorgé! Just like Hajar, he greeted us and made us feel we’d known him for years! After lunch the wonderful Luuis drove us in the buggy to Suite 106! How many more new team members will we meet, we wondered? Pre-dinner drinks enabled us to meet a new bar person, Henriqué! Cool, calm, efficient and perfectly mixing drinks and taking orders! Then suddenly, a roar and three of our old friends arrived: Hans, the faultless F & B manager; Giovanni the most wonderful waiter and de facto deputy to Hans, and Julian, whose first day as a very junior waiter, was the second day of our holiday last year! Much celebration and photos! Over the two weeks we were reacquainted with great friends from past years and were pleased that the new and the longer-serving team members were working well together! As always we enjoyed three dinners in S’Oronella, the à la carte terrace and, as always, marvelled over the beautiful food and wine! We even found that two of our local UK friends were holidaying on the island, so invited them to enjoy S’Oronella with us! One of the highlights was, it must be said, meeting Eduardo, the new masseur! He used skills ranging from massage, through reflexology, chiropractic and identifying pressure points to such an extent, we agreed we both had the best massages! So good, we booked again for later in the holiday and he performed more magic! Pedro, the charismatic owner, had appointed Adel Hajji as general Manager and it was evident that, through that leadership team, the staff were in good hands, supported and valued. This continues to be a restful, calm hotel; perfect for relaxation and recharging! This is reflected in the number of people who, like us, are repeat guests! So our fourteenth visit was another success! Will there be a fifteenth? We’ve already booked! Huge thanks to: Pedro, Adel Hajji, Jésus, Hans, Hajar, Jorgé, Luuis, Ana Marie, Leonie, Hajar, Henriqué, Giovanni, Mourad, Khadi, Julian, Samuel, Matteus, Antonia, Olga, Eduardo and everyone! Apologies if I’ve left anyone out!"

"Overall good hotel, we travelled end of June with our 3 month old. On check in to our room in the main building there was a bad smell on the whole row of rooms so we were moved across over the road (which sounds worse than it is) not a long walk or particularly busy road. We stayed in a suite room, with a view out the back of the hotel, very nice modern room, with good air con and ceiling fan. Most of the landscaping is complete, naturally some teething issues with building works. Food - we opted for breakfast only which we really liked, good variety (1 vegetarian who was able to find suitable options. Lunch - we ate at the pool bar everyday for convenience, the staff are great I’d say the food is pretty average here given the cost, could easily upgrade some of the options here to suit 5* hotel, after 7 days it was tough to find healthy options. We ate out each evening so can’t comment on evening options. Location - we were able to walk with our pram very easily to bars/shops/restaurants with the beach also very close and a flat walk. The area is occupied mainly by Germans (which didn’t bother us as a British family). Some local restaurants worth visiting - Amapola, Grattini, SANTÉ (vegetarian only). Gym - at our time of visiting the gym open however pretty poor, none of the cardio equipment was functioning, some small free weights, cable machine and some old leg press machines. Staff across the hotel we found to be very friendly and helpful. Drinks by the pool took an age, we ended up going to the local store and buying our own, normally one guy trying to serve 60+ beds. Sun beds were frustrating, they section off for ‘Serenity’ which mostly weren’t all used and then there simply wasn’t enough for everyone, it isn’t sun bed wars but if you don’t reserve by say 10am you’ll likely be waiting for someone to leave, we also reserved 2 beds and walked round for 30 mins with our baby and then found a note saying beds cannot be reserved despite most of the beds being reserved, very odd and annoying to receive. Not all of the hotel pool area is easily accessible with a pram, with the majority of the grounds grass a bit of a work up to get your pram across! Overall a nice hotel and we enjoyed our break, some small improvements which could make the hotel much more welcoming and enjoyable for the money."
