Just got back from a week at Ekati Mare and honestly… wow. We were a bit unsure at first after reading some of the bad reviews, but now that we’ve been, we honestly don’t get what people are complaining about. The hotel is gorgeous – the public areas are super stylish and relaxing, and our room was spotless. Housekeeping were amazing, always smiling and working non-stop to keep everything looking perfect. Food was great loads of variety, always fresh, and the lunch at the bar was a highlight. Cocktails were actually really good (not the usual watered-down stuff) and prices were more than fair. There was always something going on during the day too, but it never felt too much. What really makes this place though is the staff. We’ve been all over – Coratia, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Egypt – and the team here were some of the friendliest we’ve met. So genuine, so easy to chat to, they really gave the hotel its vibe. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This was hands down one of our favourite holidays. We’d go back in a heartbeat.
