This is our third time with Couples, having stayed at Tower Isle initially, and our third overall time at Sans Souci after doing a trading day in 2023 and then staying in 2024. We adore the scenery and vibe of this resort and wanted to go back and are so glad we did - this was our best trip yet! From the minute you arrive into the airport lounge, Couples take complete care of you.
The hotel lives up to its name of “without worries.” The grounds are absolutely stunning, it’s so idyllic and yet mystical at the same time. The location of this hotel and how it’s built into its surroundings in a natural way blows us away every time. Be prepared to walk up and down stairs, but just enjoy the experience! There’s lots of creatures: a parrot, a duck, turtles, mongoose, crabs, tree frogs, lizards and more, then you have other things like a jacuzzi in the hill and the mineral grotto - which is such a unique feature and feels amazing. There’s so much natural beauty to explore and discover, your camera can’t capture how beautiful this resort is.
Major kudos to all staff across this resort. Those keeping the grounds tidy, clearing seaweed on the beach, serving you food and drinks, the maintenance and watersport teams, reception or just those you pass whilst walking around - everyone is so polite and kind, all saying hello and offering help. We noticed compared to 2024 staff seemed happier and calmer, so are hopefully being valued and looked after as they work so hard. Special shout out to Ivaney our housekeeping lady who always greeted us with a big smile, took the time to speak to us and made our last day special with a very cute arrangement made out of a towel! When we stayed in 2024 it was low capacity and things ran out and the service wasn’t the best, this time the resort was much busier yet service was better? You’d think it would be the other way around. We were also glad the afternoon buffet option was back, as you don’t always want a set menu at lunchtime. Plus we got our refillable water bottle in the room - these weren’t here last time. The food on offer was delicious and changed regularly. Tons of variety, different cuisines to try including the local cuisine, fresh fruit and beautifully made desserts - the beach bar even put up TV’s for the World Cup. We didn’t have a single bad meal and particularly loved Casanova - our only feedback would be the air-con in there is very cold in there. As introverted people, we appreciate not being pressured into using the spa or other activities like games/photos. You’ll always be asked and included, but left alone as soon as you say no, it’s never an issue.
We stayed in block D, which is also home to the Roger Moore suite. My husband loved that Roger Moore once posed outside our room during the filming of ‘Live and Let Die’, his favourite film! It would be cool if the resort had information about the film being shot here! Get it’s not everyone’s taste but it’s an interesting fact many might not be aware of. Our room was super spacious and always incredibly clean, the mini bar was fully stocked up and you can also order lots through the app. Turn down service is a luxury you don’t even have to ask for. Our aircon went down after a storm but they sorted it really quickly thankfully, so again incredibly grateful for the hardworking staff here, nothing is ever too much!
We also went to a meditation class this time. Do this if you get the chance! We loved the talk we had with the man leading, it was such a special, unique experience and made us feel even more restored. Basically come to Sans Souci if you want to completely switch off and just relax.
We love this resort and can’t wait to come back at some point. Thank you again for another incredible stay.
