“At the end of Saracen Bay's main beach, the location strikes me as ideal-peaceful, with unbelievably soft sand. Villas offer genuine space and privacy, an attribute that is appreciated. The open-air spa is set over a lotus pond and the emphasis on homemade essential oils is a nice touch.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Saracen Bay Resort from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Saracen Bay Resort is praised for its beachfront location, just steps away from the beautifully clean beach, which is raked daily. Guests appreciate the spacious, light-filled modern bungalows, some offering sea views, complete with modern furnishings and verandas that include armchairs and sofas. The location at one end of the bay offers a quiet retreat, though some found the price-quality ratio a bit high. You can easily reach other bars and restaurants with a short walk along the white sands, and the resort is conveniently located only a 5-minute walk from the ferry, with a supermarket about 15 minutes away along the beach.

great locationdated roomunimpressive food

the resort had a great location directly on the beach.

the room i stayed in was a bit dated and basic, it did not meet my expectations. the food in the restaurant was also disappointing (i expected more variety). i think the resort needs some updates to justify the price.

The beach was clean and had sun beds available.

The room's door did not lock well, concerning. The staff seemed more interested in their phones than assisting guests. There was also a limited vegetarian option on the menu, so I often had to eat elsewhere.
