A really nice property, glad i chose it for the convenience of the private beach. I expected the resort to be a lot busier due to it being summer holiday, but it wasn't and that helped make the atmosphere more relaxing. And the sun loungers weren't all taken! Our room was one of the Le Belle Alliance oceanfront rooms, perfect, with a good size balcony. I expected the room to be bigger, but still a good size. Absolutely loved the bed, soo comfortable. Free water in the fridge would have been nice. We ate at the Blues and Pen restaurants, good portion food, prices were a little high, food was good. And the cocktails, definitely wouldn't get the size or amount in this country. And then the spa, what a bonus having expedia discount. We had 4 treatments between us, very relaxing. Myra and Joelly were š Willem and Kirrean were friendly and helpful. Shauntez always smiling and friendly at the Pen, also Michelle who was very helpful to us with our table bookings. Thanks to Donna at breakfast. Ronald who was always smiling and friendly in the reception area, and Xavier who helped with our check-out requests. And finally thanks to Eugene the shuttle driver, for the smooth running and air conditioned ride to and from town. Would definitely go back to Avila Beach Hotel.
