JOIA Salomé by Iberostar -Adults Only

Perfect 5* luxury holiday. Rooms, restaurants, location are all perfect. Staff go above and beyond to meet the needs of guests and take pride in their service and hospitality. Have stayed in many 5* hotels but this I the best and I’ll certainly be back.

My second stay at this hotel. I travel a lot to hotels in a similar price range of €500 to €600 per night, but this is one of my absolute favorites. The welcome was very friendly and genuine with a drink of your choice. The room is fine, for this price range I would expect a little more perfection, the floor is really very bad with many stains and scratches, curtains torn in several places.... However bathroom is perfect with good quality products and towels. Extensive minibar with good drinks and any changes will be made with pleasure! The real difference compared to other 5 star hotels in this class is in the staff! My favorite butler Francesso with his great service even if everything perfect, he wants to do that little bit extra. Ruth at breakfast and lunch. This woman is fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and knows her job. As the owner of two restaurants, I would like to take her on as an employee Poseidon restaurant my favorite. Good dishes led by Mr Pena, very correct and attentive. Waiter Sergio is happy to pamper you. I will be back soon, this hotel is just wonderful if you are looking for absolute peace and quiet with fantastic staff. The only downside is that rooms could use an upgrade in terms of paint, flooring and curtains

Excellent service staff so friendly rooms kept spotles. Food was very good in the main dining room, but excellent in Poseidon and Portofino restaurants . The staff in the breakfast restaurant are so friendly, especially Vicky who was great. Hotel has a great position it looks straight out to sea with great views. We keep coming back great to chill out and relax, but not far away from nightlife if you want it. The concierge,s look after most needs nothing to much trouble. I would throughly recommend the Salome

For couples or families who want rather quiet and relaxed holiday, this hotel is perfect. Escaped from the neon lights, you can experience serene nights. The butler was friendly and professional. He and she made our stay here so special and personal. We highly recommend the stay at Iberostar Grand Salome!

The rooms are great, the food is excellent, and the staff are lovely! Being in Salome you get to know the staff who do the breakfast and lunch service, and all the ladies are very efficient and up for a laugh - Vicky, Rebeca, Alexandra, Ruth, and more whose names i didn't catch (especially the bartender with the long blonde ponytail who often made our evening cocktails). Nothing is too much trouble - from menu changes to helping us decorate for a birthday. Everyday they bring round a drink at the pool and a little morning snack, and there's often an ice cream in the afternoon. You can have drinks in the Salome bar until about 10pm, and there's also the big Anthelia bar and events hall. Oscar was our favourite up there! Top tips - find out the buffet themes and book the a la carte restaurant for the days you're less fussed about. You can do this in advance or with your butler when you get there. You can go to the lunch buffet from your table at the Salome lunch place (Lagarta I think) and bring food back. You can also try Portofino for lunch. Try the hotel entertainment in Anthelia. The ones put on by the 'entertainment team' are of varying quality (though the acrobats are excellent) but the performers they bring in are brilliant. We weren't sure what Funky would be; ended up being the most amazing singers and dancers doing songs from Bob Marley to a brilliant Purple Rain (including guitar solo). The bar will make cocktails off menu if you ask - if they don't know them you can give them a recipe! They leave treats in your room every couple days (though you might be too full to eat them!) If you're a big group (we were six) you might struggle to always get sunbeds together if you're up later then 8am, although there are always some available. If you don't have sun before midday where you're sat, the sofas by the bar and by the cardio equipment will have some. Good spots to read the paper! Salome guests get free access to the spa, which has varying types of pools, a steam room and a sauna. They like you to book these days, which your butler can do for you - it's a good way to spend a cloudy hour.

Absolutely amazing hotel & what truly makes it is the staff. Every single person you interact with makes your day better! The service around the pool is impeccable, especially thanks to Vicky. The employees are so attentive and the cocktails are always delicious. Lots of choices for soft drinks also and nice iced lattes, kombucha etc. We also enjoyed the larger bar in the evening in the main hotel, Oscar is very good up there and in the disco. The food is incredible at all the restaurants including the buffet. My only comment would be sometimes at the buffet the vegetarian / vegan options aren’t as good as they could be. For example on Mexican night there wasn’t really anything vegetarian to eat in the themed section and it would be very easy to make some refried beans or vegan chilli. We have also enjoyed some of the evening entertainment in the disco, all of it is good but I have to comment on the Diamonds (they perform the night labelled on itinerary as “Legends”). We were completely blown away by them, they performed an incredible set and are all so unbelievably talented! It felt like a West End worthy show & particularly their performance of purple rain with the full guitar solo - wow!
