Les Sables Noirs & Spa

I stayed here for 2 weeks last year, and (pre covid) for week; but I had not left a review for either visit. I am writing one now, because I disagree profoundly with one or two of the (minority!) ‘less than perfect’ reviews i have just read. Our stays were about as perfect as a holiday can be. We loved Les Sables Noirs, and will definitely return for a third visit.

The rooms are scattered in separate little bungalows around the site, and on first inspection I was absolutely thrilled with my room. After 10 days of tiny little rooms and no outside space on a tour of Sicily, here I was presented with a cross between a suite and a self catering apartment. It was absolutely enormous, with a small kitchenette with big fridge and even a freezer; cooking facilities; a table and chairs; a sofa; a really big bed; another small sitting area; a big shower room; a big private terrace (you could seat at least 8 people I should think); and a small non-private sitting area outside the front door with table and chairs. On closer inspection, the sofa was stained, and the shower, although clean, had an awkwardly placed shower head which made it difficult to use. The private terrace was not practical to use because of the sulphur smell, and it looked on to the back of some other, less well kept, apartments; but the front area was lovely and I did make use of this. Everything apart from the sofa was perfectly clean. The pool was a bit small. I only used it first thing in the morning when I was the only person in it, and that was lovely but it would be crowded with multiple swimmers.

Wouldn’t come at all. They only have 1 option of food “a burger” and it was worst than eating chain fast food like mc Donals or Bk, not what you expect of a hotel of this price. The drinks were all over priced and the service isn’t good at all. When it comes to problem solving they cannot help you at all.

We were placed here by the company that organised our tour. The major surprise? It isn't really a hotel at all - it is a time share complex. So we had a totally unnececessary kitchen with huge fridge, hob etc. It has a nice pool and a private beach area - and the breakfast is good - but it's all a bit motel-like and dull. I wouldn't choose to return.

Struttura bella e ben organizzata. Camere molto ben arredate, pulite, spaziose e confortevoli. Il personale e’ molto gentile, la spiaggia e’ comoda, la colazione e’ nella media (non mi ha entusiasmato come qualità dei prodotti ma c’è tutto ed è’ ben presentata) c’è anche un servizio di light lunch. Lo consiglio per un soggiorno piacevole sull’isola di Vulcano.

In vacanza a Vulcano per un paio di giorni,io e la mia amica decidiamo di andare a fare aperitivo in questo posto consigliato da amici…arriviamo e un cameriere ci accoglie dicendo “vi posso offrire un prosecco di benvenuto?” Noi accettiamo e nel frattempo ci viene detto che purtroppo non c’era posto per fare aperitivo in quanto il locale era pieno! Ci godiamo il nostro prosecco,in piedi,con una vista mozzafiato sul tramonto e mentre ce ne stavamo andando veniamo letteralmente inseguite da un altro cameriere che ci chiede di pagare il cocktail di benvenuto! Altro che “vi posso offrire”! Ovviamente abbiamo pagato ma è stato davvero imbarazzante. Bello il panorama,bella la struttura ma per il resto completamente bocciato!
