Best Semiramis

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Best Semiramis and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The room view was simply amazing, we could see the ocean directly from our room. Falling asleep while hearing the sound of the waves was such a relaxing and beautiful experience. It made our stay extra special. The food was fantastic, with great variety and quality every day. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. A very special thank you to the lady who did our check-in (we are so sorry we didn’t learn her name). She was extremely kind, warm, and helpful, and she made us feel welcome from the very first moment. We stayed on the 9th floor, and our housekeeper was such a lovely lady. She always cleaned our room perfectly, greeted us with a smile, and kindly said hello every day. Small gestures like that really made a difference. The pool area is great ,one of the pools was heated, which we really enjoyed. It was not overly busy, so the atmosphere felt calm and fabulous. The location is excellent, the views are breathtaking, and the people make the hotel even more special. We will definitely come back in the future. Thank you for such a beautiful stay!

I stayed here for 4 nights, 5 days in February. Here is my experience: The Good👍🏼: Staff are very friendly and helpful. Always smiling and willing to help anyway they can. It really makes a huge difference, so special thanks to the entire staff from the reception to the dining to the gentleman at the activities kiosk. The location is really good, alot of activities, restaurants, bars are in walking distance from the hotel. Only used a the car rental to go south and explore the entire island. The front desk also helped to arrange the car and it was done very professionally. The rooms are spacious and clean with excellent views of the ocean. Housekeeping came daily to change towels, make the bed and clean, really good job. The breakfast buffet is good, lots of various options for everyone with amazing variety. The Bad👎🏼: The air-conditioning did not work. Had to open the balcony to keep cool and have some ventilation. I can only imagine how much worse it would be in peak summer heat. Water temperature in the shower is not consistent, goes from boiling hot to cold every few seconds. The gym is in pretty terrible shape. The machines arent maintained and there are no free weights. The pool was advertised as heated, it wasn't. The jacuzzi was cold too. Definitely not enjoyable. The dinner was a huge disappointment almost every night. By the end of the trip I found myself not enjoying my meals at all, the seafood, beef/meat always had a smell that made it inedible, I had to make do with just salads. Drinking water is not free as it is at breakfast and the paper slip system is just really annoying. Lastly and the worst part of my stay, I was given a room on the 14th floor, which is right under the dining area. Every morning from 6am onwards and every evening till past 10pm, the noise is unbearable with the dragging of chairs and tables above, this made me want to pull my hair out every morning. There is zero regard for peace and quiet if you end up on the 14th floor. Overall, I would not call this a 5 star hotel, standard just isn't there in terms of dining and facilities that a 5 start should perform at. I've stayed at plenty 4 and 5 star hotels all over the world and this just isn't on that level. However, the staff really works hard to give a positive vibe and fun energy. Would I stay here again, probably not unless there is a massive upgrade to the entire system.

Overall, everything went amazingly. Extra points for the staff who provide you with a warm welcome from the very beginning at the front desk. But I also need to mention the amazing team at the restaurant (namely Desire, Angel, and Barbara), who were super kind and also fun to be around. And everything was quite well organized, resupplied, and clean. The cleanliness of the rooms was also outstanding, so major kudos to the cleaning team as well. The surroundings are superb, and both pools are quite good. Rooms quite large and comfortable. If I have to point out something not that amazing is that, some things, for a 5-star hotel, could be better taken care of (some tables on the pool bar were limping and had rust, the dartboard could seriously retire and give space to a new one). And entertainment-wise, it could be improved, compared to other similar hotels, which was quite repetitive, and I missed some live music shows. Still, I really enjoyed my time there.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would happily return. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out—every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The housekeeping team in particular were exceptional, always checking in each morning to see if we needed anything, which made us feel very well looked after. Cleanliness across the entire hotel was excellent, and it really added to the overall comfort of our stay. We opted for the all-inclusive package, and while the food was good and perfectly enjoyable, it wasn’t particularly memorable. The only real downside for us was the quality of the drinks included in the package, which we felt could have been improved. That said, the restaurant staff truly made the experience special—their friendliness and attentiveness had a big impact on our trip. The hotel facilities were also great, with two pools to choose from: a main outdoor pool and another connected to the spa that offers both indoor and outdoor areas. Even though we visited in the off-season, the pools were pleasantly lively on the warmer, sunny days. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the view. It was absolutely breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to enjoy it from our room—it was the perfect way to start each morning. Overall, a wonderful stay with exceptional service, and just a couple of small areas for improvement.

After arriving early from the UK on a 5am flight, we got to the hotel around 1:30pm hoping to freshen up, but unfortunately our room wasn’t ready. All we really wanted was a quick shower and somewhere to change, but we were advised to go for lunch while we waited. Even after that, the room still wasn’t ready, so we ended up going to the bar for a drink. Thankfully, after a few hours, it was finally available. The hotel itself is spotless and very well maintained, with plenty of seating areas to relax, which we really appreciated. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable, which made our stay more enjoyable once we got settled. Food-wise, the first few nights were great, but it did become quite repetitive as the week went on. Breakfast was definitely the highlight, with the best variety and quality. The hotel offers both half board and all-inclusive options, but the snack bar has fairly limited choices. The heated indoor pool was a bit disappointing, as it didn’t feel as warm as expected. Also, most of the hotel facilities are located at the top, meaning there are a lot of stairs. This became a bit of a concern, especially when it rained (which it did quite often), as the tiled floors can get very slippery—particularly around the pool areas. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly throughout our stay. However, getting drinks in the restaurant could be quite slow. Since service is required for both half board and all-inclusive guests, there was often a wait, and it wasn’t always easy to find someone available. Overall, the hotel has many positives, especially in terms of cleanliness and staff, but there are a few areas that could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
