We last went to Flora Gardens back in 2015 and we always talked about this hotel as being one of the nicest trips we have made. With prices high and worried about what and where to trust we decided to return to Flora Gardens. I was hoping the service and food was still the same. Thankfully we were not disappointed and the hotel is still as good as it was, with an excellent location right on the beach. The sea seems not as calm as it was, I have no idea why that is, and I would recommend water shoes. There were some nice changes. The designs of the reception, eating areas have all been brought up to modern standards. The new Boho Bar is so cool and relaxing. It was a holiday where we wanted to relax and switch off and we certainly managed to do that. Check in was easy and we took up the option of an upgraded room near the relaxing pool. My only grip was that people were reserving beds very early. This is not a reflection of the hotel but the guests. Once this group left there was not problem. There were beds on the beach and main pool area. The entertainment was a little let down. Mainly singers. One group were very good, but for the other evenings, it was like a Karaoke night at the local pub. Mostly singing the same songs each evening. The hotel could do better advertising what is on. The disco night at Boho was very enjoyable. Its not a perfect hotel but if you are willing to overlook some of the difficulties of running a hotel then you will have a great time. The food is good, the service is with a smile and the hotel grounds and location are excellent. We are none smokers and it seems on recent trips more and more people are smoking. The kitchen gets a little noisy as the staff clatter plates, and often drop them. They are just trying. Beer is ok, wine is below average, food is varied but caked in oil, and the spirits are not top shelf, but I accept I never paid for that. Also would have been nice if the gym opened earlier. The rooms are pleasant, the AC was good. Coffee Shop is a nice extra. Spa we never used this visit. If you want to have a relaxing time, not kids playing around, no water slides, good food then this is the place for you and the prices are still reasonable. Also recommend going to Side, avoid the over priced market not worth the time and effort. Side is lovely and spend at least 3/4hours longer if you want lunch and drinks. So glad we returned again.
