Club Hotel Marina Seada Beach

So pleased this holiday is over, Club Hotel Marina Seada Beach was not a great place to stay. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere and you have nothing around you apart from a small beach. If you do decide to stay at the Club Hotel Seada Beach, I would strongly recommend getting a hired car from the airport, you can hire a car at the hotel via Avis and this will cost over 100 euros per day. You have a free shuttle bus available three times per day, taking you to Budoni. You also have the main bus that stops outside of the hotel, however you will need to download one of the apps to purchase bus tickets as the drivers don’t take cash. DropTicket seems to be the preferred app but difficult to use as you don’t seem to be able to translate this into English. On arrival at this resort at about 14.30 we were lucky and got our apartment straight away from a helpful and friendly member of staff as check-in is not normally until 17.00. As we hadn’t eaten since being at Stansted at 05.30 we were told snacks were available at the pool bar (as stated in Jet2 description of this accommodation). However, the snack was just melon pieces and no other snacks were available at the time and dinner wouldn’t be until 19.30. We ended up taking a taxi that costs 30 euros from the hotel just to go to the nearest town to get a sandwich. Snacks are rarely available and these are very small pieces of pizza or focaccia and once we got a handful of crisps. Apartments. The rooms are basic and very clean, the rooms are cleaned daily. The one issue was there was only one double electrical socket and this had the fridge and TV plugged in, so you are limited if you need your devices charged. Jet2 description of the room stated we have a fridge, well, this was correct, however this fridge is not for personal use of food and drink but is only for a mini bar that you can purchase from reception (so Jet2 need to remove this from the description). Jet2 also describes the room as having a flat screen TV, this again was correct, however the only English channel was BBC1 but this wasn’t available, so not worth having a TV. This hotel has limited WiFi and the leaflet you get on arrival stated this is available in the reception area and the bar. This is incorrect, as we and other guests only found this available in the reception and not in the bar (Only one bar and this is the pool bar). Mobile phone signal is very hit and miss and is not reliable, you’re better off standing in the carpark near the main road to get a descent phone and mobile data signal. Food is very basic, however, plentiful. Don’t expect to have a Full English as breakfast is mainly continental food types. There are always at least two pasta dishes on, but very few vegetables. The dining area is all open which was great with the temperatures being in the 30s, however care must be taken of wasps that tend to bother you while eating. Staff sometimes try to keep the wasps at bay by burning something in the

Room was clean and comfortable. Clean towels every day. Small patio, TV only had one English Channel BBC world news. No kettle in room so we took our own, we got milk from reception which we kept in mini fridge. Good shower, very quiet in room 101. Staff very friendly especially activity staff David and Jessica who made our holiday with daily games, competitions and fun! Food ok, lots of choice but not so much for vegetarians, lots of wasps at breakfast so we had to move tables. Not all drinks included, only beer and Prosecco at pool bar from 10am to 11pm, has to pay for spirits and wine. They use plastic cups which are difficult to recycle, they should consider paper cups. Be aware this hotel is remote, you need to get the free bus to Budoni for shops and bars as no shop on site. Be aware the beach and sea is full of seaweed so we couldn’t use the beach or swim in the sea. Quiet and relaxed though.

the worst food i have ever had in a hotel this hotel is best avoided most of the food is low quality badly cooked or over cooked slop. the all inclusive drinks package is a big scam it only includes beer wine alcoholic lemonade and a few soft drinks this is not all inclusive. we had to go to the supermarket and buy drinks that we kept in the room.the hotel is clean and in a good location on the beach most of the staff are very good.

The location is great for those who want to relax, it is undoubtedly a quiet hotel and great for a relaxing stay. However, I don't think it's worth the 4*. We went on the All Inclusive regime and there was nothing included. We could drink water, coca-cola, beer and not much more throughout the day; For food they only put fruit (always the same), and in the morning some (few) sweets left over from breakfast. And you needed to be lucky to be able to catch anything because the food ran out quickly and was not replenished. They only replaced the fruit, and as I said, always the same thing. They also fail with Wi-Fi. You can't even catch Wi-Fi in your own bedroom, which doesn't make sense. But worse than that, no network can be picked up, which means, if necessary, we can only call someone outside the room. They say that Wi-Fi can be found in common areas such as the reception, restaurant and pool "bar", but it can only be found at reception, otherwise you'd be lucky to have Wi-Fi. In order to charge your phone you need to either shut down your fridge or the TV. The animation was weak. Always the same thing. At night, the activities are always the same and you can almost say what's going to happen next. So, in short, in my opinion the hotel only justifies the 4* due to its location, with an almost private beach, the hotel was spacious and quiet. However, in terms of conditions they could and should improve what they call "All Inclusive" a lot and innovate in animation.

Don't go there never a 4 star poor selection of drinks no spirits included , food awful always cold except for the chips when they were available had to wait for them to be replaced every night . All inclusive is a joke , there are no lounges WiFi poor no phone signal beach ok pool good . No interaction between yourself and the staff it appeared that they were told not to speak to us. Lots of people complaing about the selection of drinks and the cold food and lack of facilities. Hotel needs to get on board with the all inclusive .

We had a wonderful week here at Marina Seada. The food was great, very traditional Italian home cooking. The cleaners work so hard and everywhere is spotless especially the rooms which are cleaned every day. On the whole staff are friendly, especially Franco. Some restaurant staff not so, we were kicked out of the restaurant at 10 am on our first morning, we didn't realise it closed at 10, just thought food service finished then. I knew the beach could have lots of sea **** but this beach was thick with it and the sea was black, such a shame as it is a beautiful area, this put me off coming back to this Hotel unfortunately. If you walk 10 minutes along the coast there is a clearer beach where you can swim.The pool was beautiful but closed between 1pm and 4pm which was annoying also very loud Italian pop music played all day, not at all relaxing. I had never been on an all inclusive holiday before but I was disappointed. It said there would be snacks available during the day but never any available apart from some melon. Delicious ice cream available all day, only beer and prosecco during the day. No toilets near pool or pool bar, unless I missed it. The evening entertainment was not very entertaining! A car is a must here as lots of beautiful beaches to explore and we recommend a trip to Posada town built on a crop of rocks just down the road also Madelana island boat trips. We had a great holiday but I feel this hotel is for people who are happy to explore the island by car or bus and not spend all week at the hotel as it is quite remote.
