Firstly, let me say that the Manager, Waheed, does an excellent job. When you arrive on the Island, he will personally greet you and he really does go out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. Initially we were put into Room 93, just awful. One of the block rooms which was like a refugee block. We stayed... more

We arrived at SIV on Monday 11 May after a 2 hour boat trip, which was rather wet and splashy, but fun nontheless. Checkin was smooth and we were soon whisked to our room, right on the beach (54) The room was very basic, with rather tired looking wardrobes and vanity units, but with effective A/C and comfortable beds, beware... more

Reading a few revues I started to worry a bit about things like the food as my wife can be fussy. However the food was excellent and beyond. The beach candlelit steak was as my wife would say "to die for" and over the two weeks there wasn't a bad meal. There are alot of Germans on the island the... more

After a three and a half hour delay at Gatwick,it was plain sailing all the way.We paid for extra leg room,Monarch flight,well worth it !

I got a lot more detail and photos from other peoples reviews. So here's another one. We were in a deck room. I think there are only 2 and for some reason... more

Well I really don't know what some reviewers expected but if you want 6* treatment then go to a 6* island!! Our needs are simple, feed me-sleep me, that's all we needed. The rest just falls into place. The island is small AND perfectly formed. We personally DON'T want loud music, rowdy entertainmet and the like. Ibiza we aint!! Firstly,... more

Great holiday on SIV, a big thank you to Waheed and the staff. No house reef but plenty of fish in lagoon and around the jetty. Very 'Green' island, plenty of trees and plants, gardens well kept. Food, seemed to be something for everyone, excellent puddings. We were there at Easter and had treats on the breakfast table and a... more

I am planning on going back next year, i dont normally go to the same place twice but... more
