3rd year back, we absolutely love it here. This is our 3rd consecutive year at Cornelia Deluxe, never fails to impress, from the friendly regular staff, to the excellent food & cleanliness of the hotel... makes it worth coming back to year after year. So I'll start with the pros: Excellent food choices, Tai Pen is lovely food worth a few visits. Daphne bar during the day is best for food imo, chicken burger, pasta dishes, and the pizzas are spot on. BBQ beach night is unbelievable,great choice of meats all cooked on charcoal bbq. Buffet restaurants have some good themed nights, our fave was the Mexican & Asian. We hired one of the beach cabanas, well worth the £70 drinks and food brought to you as and when, sirloin steak as many as you like . What makes the stay extra special to us is seeing the regular staff,always remember us from previous visits,which is nice. Always going the extra mile, thanks Senar, Saban & Mahmut. The hotel is incredibly clean, which is a big deal,fresh towels daily, mini bar fully stocked every morning the maids do a fantastic job keeping all the rooms that clean. Kids club staff friendly & always encouraging our son to join in with activities throughout the day. This year's animation & entertainment team were brilliant, special thanks to Lawsen, that guy has so much energy, real asset to Cornelia. There is a few slight niggles,only minor improvements needed, which hasn't put us off, but probably needs addressing in the near future: WiFi is very patchy in places, especially in the junior villa area. WiFi upgrade needed - streaming or working from a laptop is virtually impossible if you take your work away with you. Smoking.... I know rules are different in other countries, but I do think it's good manners not to light up when somebody is eating on the next table.. smoking areas to be provided? The hotel is super clean, but in need of some desperate updates in places and a lick of paint, villa rooms very dated. These small issues won't stop us returning, as the pros massively outweigh the small cons, we will be back!!!!!
