We had our 1st holiday with SAGA on our in-laws recommendation. We had a very enjoyable week. The hotel was very comfortable, and the food was generally good.
We went all inclusive, which wasn't like any other AI we had done. Local drinks only were only available in the SAGA Club, which was a bit antiseptic but OK. No included snacks available outside of meal times.
Many previous reviewers commented on the regimented seating arrangements at meal times. Agree it could be off putting, but it is due to the mutliple choice of tariffs available (i.e B&B, Half Board, Full Board and AI). They need to keep track of who has had what meal. The hotel attracts a lot of coach parties, and on our last night 290 (we were told) German coach trippers arrived. The queue down the stairs to the restaurant certainly seemed like 290 people. When there was a large coach party the restaurant was extremely busy with queues at the buffet. Our main gripe was the cost (22 kuna-about £2.50) for a small Coke from the mini-bar when we arrived on our 1st night. Needless to say we didn't repeat that. The sea views are spectacular with the Island of Brac in the distance and the mountain to the rear equally impressive. The SAGA rep Jennies was exceptional. Overall we enjoyed our week.
