The rooms are great, the food is excellent, and the staff are lovely! Being in Salome you get to know the staff who do the breakfast and lunch service, and all the ladies are very efficient and up for a laugh - Vicky, Rebeca, Alexandra, Ruth, and more whose names i didn't catch (especially the bartender with the long blonde ponytail who often made our evening cocktails). Nothing is too much trouble - from menu changes to helping us decorate for a birthday. Everyday they bring round a drink at the pool and a little morning snack, and there's often an ice cream in the afternoon. You can have drinks in the Salome bar until about 10pm, and there's also the big Anthelia bar and events hall. Oscar was our favourite up there! Top tips - find out the buffet themes and book the a la carte restaurant for the days you're less fussed about. You can do this in advance or with your butler when you get there. You can go to the lunch buffet from your table at the Salome lunch place (Lagarta I think) and bring food back. You can also try Portofino for lunch. Try the hotel entertainment in Anthelia. The ones put on by the 'entertainment team' are of varying quality (though the acrobats are excellent) but the performers they bring in are brilliant. We weren't sure what Funky would be; ended up being the most amazing singers and dancers doing songs from Bob Marley to a brilliant Purple Rain (including guitar solo). The bar will make cocktails off menu if you ask - if they don't know them you can give them a recipe! They leave treats in your room every couple days (though you might be too full to eat them!) If you're a big group (we were six) you might struggle to always get sunbeds together if you're up later then 8am, although there are always some available. If you don't have sun before midday where you're sat, the sofas by the bar and by the cardio equipment will have some. Good spots to read the paper! Salome guests get free access to the spa, which has varying types of pools, a steam room and a sauna. They like you to book these days, which your butler can do for you - it's a good way to spend a cloudy hour.
