Spent a week here at the end of September. Absolutely fantastic. The staff cannot do enough to ensure you are well looked after. All inclusive with food and drink on tap, the food is well prepared, tasty but above all, set out with thought and care that not only looks delicious, is delicious. The whole resort is spotless and the room beds are comfortable. Private beach with free sun loungers. Pool loungers are available all day without the rigmarole of people dumping towels early on.
There is no downsides, however, this would get an 11 out of 10 if they could only make the bottom pool and one of the bars, adult only.
Thank you guys for a wonderful stay.

I attended the week of October 14th (off season). Beautiful hotel. My room was clean on arrival and hotel staff was helpful upon check in. Room was spacious too with a lovely bathroom, sofa area and balcony.
A few negatives though. The staff at meal times are not very nice, they hover over your tables to collect plates. There are flies all the time in the dining hall. The staff in the dining halls were not nice nor helpful. They looked very angry if we came towards within 30 minutes of the end of meal times. The food options could be better, only meal that was consistent was breakfast. This is an all inclusive resort, we have paid for meals and drinks and should be allowed to sit down and eat, even if the meal time is finishing in 20 minutes. Please note Bar for all inclusive starts at 11am and ends at 11pm, you have to pay after.
Another thing. BE PREPARED TO WALK. I was a bit lucky as my hotel room (number 300s) was not too far from the reception, however other hotel rooms take about 10 minutes to get to or you have use the hotel ‘train’ (comes every 8 mins). It can be helpful but the train stops quite early and doesn’t start until 10am.
They have a few nice activities such as the water park, tennis and volleyball. Private beach too. The pool area in the hotel gets crowded very quickly, I didn’t spend much time there but it is something I noticed. A lot of staff said this was the off season. So not as much was on offer and you could kind of tell.
This resort is very far out so I would consider renting a car if you want to explore outside of the resort. And rent the car from outside of town and not at the hotel because they hike up the prices.
All in all this hotel was nice, but not 5 star all inclusive. The service by hotel staff could be better, bar tenders and servers were very dismissive. Could have table service on the beach and more drink options at the other bars around the hotel grounds.

Lovely hotel, nice rooms and fantastic staff. Only thing is that the hotel is a bit isolated if you are one who likes to wander around shops in the evening. There is a bus stop up the road. Great relaxing spot and some watersports to keep entertained.

Absolutely loved our holiday here at fodele beach. The rooms, pool, food and staff were amazing. It is a bit of a way out and all trips into the centre take roughly 30-45 mins. The only down fall would be it isn't adults only which it should be. There were far too many families and kids running around. It definitely wasn't children friendly either and after speaking to other couples they felt the same also.

What a marvelous stay we've had. We stayed in the premium 2 bedroom suite which looked brand new and was very spacious and very luxurious. The food was actually amazing (although we were a bit hesitant at booking, because all-in concepts do not always offer the quality desired). Well flavoured and ample choice. The staff is welcoming and friendly while not being too amical, the pools and waterpark are clean and well maintained. The train that brings you up the hill drives every 7 min and the one time it was broken down, we were immediately brought up there by a friendly staff member in a golf cart. The beach is clean and the beach bar is well equipped. All in all we would strongly recommend staying here, we will definitely go again ourselves. Efcharisto poli, staff of Fodele Beach Resort!
