Fodele Beach

I had a reservation for 6 nights. I hadn't have a single reasonable dinner the entire stay. Every night the same menu in the main restaurant. The hotel markets 2 other restaurants which supposed to be better with international menu but this isn't the case. It is just for marketing purposes. For the guests who don't eat pork the food variety is very poor in all restaurants, although the hotel accepts a lot of people from the Muslim and Jewish religion. I tried talking to the reception and restaurant manager about it but got no response to my complaints. This is not how a so called 5 star hotel should be handling this situation.

Just got back from this resort (September 2026) so wanted to share my review and honest opinions. We booked after reading good reviews and checking out 'You Tube' video reviews etc. Plus points:- Sea view room was lovely - very close to the sea/beach The room itself was very spacious and well equipped/decorated. We had like a suite, with two extra single beds that you could shut off separately to make a separate room. We didn't ask for this, it was the 'default' sea room option. Very nice indeed. Hotel grounds very clean and spacious Two pools, one very quiet with comfortable sun loungers - all plentiful, so no fight to reserve Lovely surrounding views Decent barbecue al a carte restaurant on the beach Not so plus points:- Grounds are quite steep in places so not terribly accessible if you have mobility issues. We don't, just wanted to highlight this though Food - buffet restuarant a bit 'samey' and not as good as other All Inclusives we've been to. Even though the main buffet is open until 11pm, it would seem if you arrive late or go after 10pm (as we arrived late on the first day) there is very limited food choices available. Something to bear in mind. Although you don't go in holiday to watch TV (!) the TV in the room wasn't able to be connected to the internet, so wasn't a 'smart' tv - therefore you can't connect your phone up to it etc Drinks on the all inclusive can be limited as in, you can only have 'house wine' (which was pretty awful) - chardonnay for example, as with some cocktails like strawberry dacquari were extra charges. Talking of cocktails, I found most of them very sugary and limited in choice somewhat. There was work going on outside the quiet pool and our room (for the removal of rocks etc where a new hotel, or extension of this one) was being built, so although not too intrusive, worth bearing that in mind. Not much immediately outside the hotel ' the village of Fodele is about 40 minute walk away Other than all that, it was decent enough and a nice hotel. Not entirely sure it warrants 5 star to be totally honest, due to food and drinks, but a decent choice still and positives outweighed the negatives......
