Delicious Meals!

I had an very nice dining experience at the resort. The breakfast was rich with a variety of options, from local dishes to international favorites. For dinner, the chef presented masterpieces of regional cuisine. Each night offered a different selection, with delicious meats and a wonderful mix of vegetable dishes. I highly recommend the food here!

Refreshing Pool Areas

The pool area was perfect for relaxation! It was clean, well-maintained, and offered a beautiful atmosphere. I loved the cold towels offered while lounging around the pool, and it felt fantastic to cool off in the refreshing waters throughout the day. The entire leisure experience was great.

7.0/10

The Grand Tala Bay Resort has beautiful grounds and spacious rooms with stunning sea views. The staff, especially the animation team, were incredibly kind and made our stay enjoyable. However, the service from the front desk was often lacking, and the dining options in the main restaurant did not meet expectations for a hotel of this caliber. Overall, it has potential but definitely needs some improvements.
