Hotel Suite Villa Maria is a lovely resort with a range of spacious, clean and luxurious villas - typically laid out over two floors with en suite bathrooms. There are three swimming pools (including one for kids aged six and under), at least two of which are heated - if not all. With a kids' club and playground on site, it is an ideal place for a family holiday.
There is a mini mart on site too, for drinks, snacks and other foodstuffs and household essentials. The breakfast buffet is plentiful, with a range of hot and cold items, fresh orange juice and bubbly (for those that like the stuff in the morning). There are two restaurants on site for lunch and dinner (one specialises in Italian food), as well as room service.
While the hotel has many positive qualities that make it an oasis, the real stars are the staff. Each person we encountered was kind, warm and helpful, and went about their duties with a smile. Particular praise goes to the housekeepers, who always left our villa looking very tidy. Among the restaurant staff, we would like to thank Sabrina and Antonia (at the omelette station) for the attention they gave us, and Rafaella - the maitre - for taking care of us.
Perhaps the only improvement we can think of is to improve the quality and choices of vegetarian food available. While there were a few options, the offering for vegans and vegetarians could be better.
