Club Calimera Yati Beach

I stayed at this hotel and, overall, my experience was decent. It is a property with great potential, but there are several aspects that should be improved to truly be up to 4-star standards. For this reason, my rating is 3 stars. I will start with the positive points. The location is truly fantastic: the sea is spectacular, with crystal-clear water and wonderful colors. The rooms were always clean and well-maintained. The staff is generally kind and helpful, and the entertainment is one of the hotel's strengths: engaging, friendly, and never intrusive, it manages to entertain adults and children throughout the day. The most important critical issue undoubtedly concerns the Wi-Fi. It is practically nonexistent. In 2026, it is hard to accept that a 4-star hotel does not offer a stable internet connection. For the entire vacation, the connection was almost unusable, and this is an aspect that the property should resolve as soon as possible. The air conditioning also leaves much to be desired. In the lobby, it is practically absent, and in the rooms, it is too weak. With the African heat that characterizes this destination, it would be essential to guarantee cool and comfortable environments. The dining is decent, but it could certainly be improved. The food is good, but the variety is rather limited: after just a few days, you notice that almost the same dishes are offered all the time. Furthermore, for cultural reasons, pork is not served, so there is no bacon, ham, or other cold cuts. It is an understandable choice, but it would have been appreciated to compensate with a greater variety of other options. The à la carte restaurants, on the other hand, disappointed us. The BBQ restaurant is practically a poor version of the main restaurant and does not offer a different experience. The restaurant presented as Italian, however, has nothing Italian about it. After sitting down and tasting something, we preferred not to have dinner there and returned to the main restaurant. The restaurant service also needs better organization. If you don't arrive at opening time, around 6:30 PM-7:00 PM, it happens that you find some dishes already finished or a very limited selection. Furthermore, the waiters are often in too much of a hurry to clear the tables: several times our plates were taken away while we were still eating, and even glasses that were still full. You can perceive the lack of a person to coordinate the dining room service. Another problem concerns the management of the sun loungers at the pool. If you don't get up very early, around 5:30 AM-6:00 AM, it is practically impossible to find a free sun lounger. Many guests occupy them with towels and then are absent for hours, leaving them unused but reserved for the whole day. The hotel should monitor this situation more closely, because it creates significant inconvenience for other guests. Also in the pool area, the floor is extremely slippery. You need to be very careful because the risk of falling is real, especially for children and elderly people. It would be appropriate to intervene with safer flooring or solutions that reduce this danger. Finally, the welcome could be improved. Upon our arrival, we were not provided with information on service hours, a map of the facility, or an explanation of the available activities. These are small details that make a guest feel taken care of from the very first moment. In conclusion, the hotel has excellent potential but, in my opinion, it does not allow for a rating of more than 3 stars. With some targeted interventions, it could truly become a higher-level facility.

I will write a review, but I need to share this. I have been at the hotel for several years now, the hotel is very beautiful and cozy, if you like to try new dishes, then lunches and dinners are perfect for you. As for the staff, the reception and waiters are absolutely cool and nice. The animation team is amazing, just with one catch. As for the animators, everyone is absolutely nice and you can communicate even if you don't know much of a foreign language, the head of the animators is also cool. Then there is the head of the kids' club... I can't see behind the scenes so I don't know what she is like with the animators, but I have seen her yelling at the animators or constantly blaming them for something, and even among the guests, several times even during the children's disco she went to an animator because he didn't yell "hey" enough. Even though Miss Aneta and Andrea were absolutely fine, kind, nice and popular with the children, I found it unpleasant to send children to the club, where they would be with the club boss. And finally, during the evening performance, she always needs to be in the lead and be the main one so that she is seen as the most important one there. It would definitely help if this person was replaced or at least if she solved her problems with the animators behind the scenes and not in front of the guests. Otherwise, the hotel, program, activities, etc. were wonderful and I enjoyed my vacation and I will definitely come back someday, and I hope that next time without this unpleasant experience with the children's club boss.

A dream vacation 2026 😎
