Kumara Serenoa by Lopesan Hotels

The hotel has a nice entrance and lobby area where you can sit and enjoy views of the rest of hotel. I got my room just after 2pm (check in time). There are lower rooms down at pool area level and upper rooms which surround the pool one level up. There is an optional secluded adults area which have same rooms and a small pool which you pay extra for if you want to be away from busy family area main pool. Junior suites were decent. Nice bedroom, small lounge with TV, and a nice spacious modern bathroom with shower. They forgot to put a coffee machine in my room. You only get water bottle on first day, rest of time you need water you've to purchase. I found the AC in room a bit weak, you don't feel it much coming out of vents. You have to put it on for sometime for the room to get to required temperature. Restaurant area has a bar near pool where you can have drinks and snacks. Service is ok... But some of the staff can't speak /understand English well enough in my view. You have to repeat yourself. Main restaurant area seating is ok, slightly small and congested compared to other hotels I have been. So you keep having to dodge people if the place is busy. Food is average in my view. Fish was terrible. Other dishes such as beef and chicken were good. Not a huge selection of deserts like other hotels. Service was friendly enough and efficient. Parking is available outside.

Very quite resort we was 20 girls on a hen do! We wasn’t being loud but two people asked us to keep noise down we was only talking around the pool in the middle of the day! Great for family’s and older people. They should provide free water in the rooms. And coffe in room is only one per person per day.

We had a fabulous week at the Kumara with great experienced staff. Who couldn't do enough to keep things running smoothly. The food choices were exceptional. The junior suite clean and modern and facilities around the hotel good. Walking to the beach and other venues us about 20 minutes but pleasant enough if you are able.

Excellent hotel property. Good service. Only minus was the loss of entertainment for kids. Cleaning should have been also a bit better (floors should be cleaned properly). Overall a pleasant stay.
