Aminess Vival Port9 Resort

Foid was reakly good! People reserving beachchairs with tbeir towels.

Beds were comfortable and the pool was nice. Staff were helpful and kind. Access to the beach was easy and shuttle to old town was simple and efficient. Food was not good - restaurants on the property did not have consistently good meals. The property overall was quite worn down and ragged.

amazing staff and hospitality

The grounds are dated. Not quite as “resort-y” as we thought it would be but we had a great room and again the staff were absolutely wonderful.

Had a wonderful stay at Aminess. The room is very spacious, beds were comfortable, check in process was fast and easy, customer service is fantastic. The breakfast buffet is a great price with lots of food options. There are lots of outdoor area to lounge and relax, direct access to the sea and easy of getting to old town via the water taxi. Nothing ?

Food was cold at dinner

Beautiful setting, beautiful room, and extremely friendly staff. Pool water was a little chilly for us, but we understand it is early in the season.

Room was fine as well as beach. Facilities were incredibly dirty. It appeared as though the salt pools weren’t cleaned for weeks. Pool staff (pool boys and servers) were not friendly and not attentive. They made it seem like a burden when you ordered or did anything. People had left old towels on chairs by the infinity pool for the whole day and the staff stated they couldn’t remove them because it was against the rules (even though many didn’t show back up for the whole day). The pictures on the website are very deceiving, do not trust them. If you are questioning to stay here, do not.

We paid additional EUR 35 for dinner for two days and we were amazed about the quality of food, both for breakfast and dinner. Some of their staff prepares domestic potato pie and domestic cookies. Selection of food is extraordinary, not even seen in much more luxurious hotels. Although this hotel is renewed old socialist hotel, it is very well rebuilt, so the comfort is not compromised. The terraces are very specious as well as bathroom. There are plenty of parking lots, lot of greenery and it is very quiet. Spa needs some upgrade and there is no kettles in the room to prepare coffee and tea. Bathroom ventilation switches off after 10-15 minutes and that might be annoying.

Dinner selection could be a bit better in terms of food, not the service. You could tell its off-season. Also the kids playroom could be bigger or at least work longer hours, not like 2hr a day.

The location was good with a ferry ride into the main town. Ferries travel every hour and cost 3Euros. The service within the hotels restaurant was very poor - particularly from the head waiter. We booked half board and wish we hadn't as it was like entering into a school canteen with very basic food. There is a quieter area to eat, but we were refused by the head waiter each time when we asked to seat ourselves there - even when it was empty or when there were seats available, the head waiter had some random excuse and was quite rude to us. The food was not a good standard and we ended up eating in town.

The breakfast and dinner were great, a lot of options and delicious. The staff were friendly and willing to help.

It was close enough to walk to town. If the weather was nicer we could have take advantage of the pools. The breakfast was very good! Lots of selection. The staff was very attentive. The air conditioning was over-active and was hard to turn down. They didn’t have extra blankets in the room.

Manuela small room too small

Great location. The beach was wonderful for swimming. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was dark with no Sun. While it was clean it seemed a bit tired and run down.

The eating area is reminiscent of a corporate canteen... not a restaurant. Attention to the basics needs improving. Basic facilities not attended to... various items allowed to run down or run out & not replaced unless asked. Could be difficult to attract staff attention for drinks in the evening.

It is just a p minutes away from old town, you can take a water taxi for 3€ and have a relaxing moment in a beautiful bay The food is not bad but it could be better, specially in the pool area

Nice hotel, good location and very comfortable rooms. We were giving a room upgrade from the original room, which was a good surprise. We were not informed about the times the bar and the pool were staying open. We checked later afternoon and when we were at the pool, close to 6pm we were denied a towel, being asked to come only the morning. The barman served us but asked us not to come after 17:50 anymore.

The beach is pretty, it's a short 20ish minute walk from the old town, and I felt like it was worth the money.

The location is beautiful and spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone, especially in September. The staff in the buffet restaurant and at the pools are not always welcoming, and at times can be quite rude. Even when wearing your bracelet and providing your room number and last name, some staff members act as if they doubt you, which doesn’t feel pleasant when you’re trying to enjoy your holiday. Of course, not all the staff behave this way, but it did happen more than once
