Senseana Sea Side Resort & Aquadventure

Good points: Beautiful hotel, amazing staff. Lovely food & drinks, cute little private beach for the kids with wave breaker. Warm cosy decor. Lovely view off doa island We came as a family off four and we are returning again 2025. We were all inclusive. We hired a car for 2 days. Not so great points: Although we are returning with my in laws, I am hoping off slight improvements but still happy to return. We visited in October (23rd) and the pools are absolutely freezing!! Luckily I did bring along x2 dry suits buys our 2 yr old and 7 yr old couldn’t last longer than an hour in the pools or aqua park, The beach & sea over the road was warmer so we would split our day between the two. The children’s entertainment is rubbish! They make it up as they go along on the day, this needs big improvements for families.. I did find ourselves a little bored in the evenings and throughout the day because you just couldn’t use the pools :(. No point upgrading to private pools, you never saw anyone in them, far too cold during that time off year. We had the hot tub instead and have rebooked for a hot tub too. It defo warmed us all up after the cold dips!! More good points: Staff are lovely even tho it was their end off season, can not fault them at all. They do anything to help. Kitchen and waiters and bar staff are brilliant, you can’t help but get to know them and the same for reception, (Middle Aged guy with a young daughter) sorry didn’t catch your name. The maids don’t speak much English but happy to pass you to someone who does. Massage at the spa was lovely. Maintenance guys were ok 👍 although I’m unsure how often the hot tub water is treated with chemicals. Gets a little grubby as the week goes on. I would absolutely give this a 4* still The really let down as to be the freezing pools and rubbish kids club! Sorry. But we will be back Oct to see you again and hopefully a few friendly faces! This time stopping in the Petite suite so we have more space during the stay. Xxx Hope you are all enjoying some family time after a busy year.

I have just stayed at the senseana resort for 5 days. Upon arrival the hotel staff couldn’t be more accommodating, they are all very friendly and could help you enough, they are what make you feel like you are at home! The one only thing I think that let’s this hotel down is the food served, it was quite a limited choice for main meals and snacks, although the food served was very nice. Apart from this 5* all day long. I will be returning in the future I hope you praise your staff well, they were amazing!

The best hotel ever By far the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. They cater to luxury level for adults and children to the same level. Vegetarian food was fantastic and always different. Would go back again and again if prices were more affordable

I booked a room through a site called Stay for Long (linked through trip advisor) for 14-24 July 2025 but have had no communication from hotel to confirm the booking, despite emailing the hotel numerous times and also messaging on Instagram. Since booking I have read reviews warning against booking with Stay For Long due to people arriving at the hotel and there being no record of booking. As such I am concerned I have been scammed. I would be grateful if Senseana could respond to my emails to confirm whether or not my booking has been received so I can contact my bank to stop further payments being taken by Stay For Long if necessary. Thank you

The pool was very dirty kids were vomiting and peeing in the pool. Adult were walking in the 30cm pool bit with their shoes on. Management should enforce rules around pool. Such a shame that’s such a nice hotel with views but couldn’t go in the pool at all during my 7 days holiday.

I would give 3 and a half stars I think. This is not a 5 star hotel, make no mistake! I think a lot of the 5 star reviews here are from people getting free room upgrades. I wasn’t one of these people and I think we were possibly given a downgrade. It’s very luck of the draw. Kids club is a tick box, they just sit and colour, you’ll struggle to get your kids in there. ‘Family’ rooms are exactly the same size as UK premier inn rooms, cramped with no storage. Reception staff are downright rude. I would suggest avoiding this place if you have kids. The food is great and the location also great. We loved the water slides. But this was an overpriced holiday, you can get an awful lot more for your money.
