"Verdura Hotel Resort is an outstanding place to stay. We stayed for 4 nights and would have loved to stay longer. The positive aspects were the friendly staff, a huge pool and a good private beach. We loved the gym, it was equipped with spin bikes, fitness machines and weights. The spa pools with their different temperatures were very enjoyable and one of them had powerful water jets. Being a golf facility the gardens and grounds are very well kept - neither my husband nor I play golf but we had liked the look of the huge area and the sense of space and privacy that the location seemed to offer. The reality did not disappoint, it is a breath-takingly beautiful position and well maintained. There are bicycles available to use, these are provided complimentary by the resort and we used them daily. We tried a few of the restaurants on site, all were good and service was excellent. However, one negative was the arrangement at breakfast time, it is a small area where the food is presented buffet-style and people were bumping into each other along a narrow space. My omelette was raw in the middle and another diner was also complaining about this, the egg chef did seem to be extremely busy trying to deal with so many orders, perhaps a second chef to help him, perhaps a second stove is needed. Many dishes on the buffet tables were empty and replenishments did not seem to happen efficiently. Lastly, the bedroom wardrobe area is very dark we were forced to use our phone torches! "

"We really like hotel - the area is beautiful. The products they offered were amazing. There were a few things I thought were not communicated well. One of the major roads to the property was closed which meant we were driving around in circles. An email warning would have been helpful. We informed Google maps but they should have done that. The other issue with the property is the food. We had the very high end dinner one night and then they advised we need to book lunch, we show up and it's the same menu as the night before. And no-one told us that there was a casual menu at the pool that we could have had. And that menu should have been offered in the restaurant. We found that to be a major negative. I wouldn't want the same food as the night before. "

"This property exceeded our expectations. The rooms & bathrooms are very well laid out. Very nice indoor & outdoor pools & beautiful ocean views. Food was very good & excellent cocktails at the bar. The mattress & pillows could definitely use an upgrade. "
