Great property with very nice pool area with plenty of chairs and sunbrellas Grounds are kept beautifully. Spacious apartments with double bathrooms and two bedrooms. Great location to visit southern Corsica from. Free sunbrella rental when going to the beach. Super market for groceries literally across the street. Free parking.

Very good but lacking atmosphere.
It's hard to criticize in a way, as the unit is excellent and kitted out well enough for self catering. The grounds are manicured with a beautiful pool. Location is good 5 min flat walk to the harbour area. However, it's bereft of character and lots of emphasis on what you cannot do - after check-in both my wife and I independently had this memory of when we checked-in to a soviet style hotel in Vietnam a number of year ago! They are very cheap about the providing minor extras - check-in miniscule amounts of dish detergent, no coffee or tee,1 toilet roll for 7 days, etc. - pay extra to get pool towels.

Overall very good hotel
Pool bar does not accept card payments. Only cash and do not provide receipts which I found strange for a hotel of this size. Lawn mowing takes places during kids nap times which is also something to be aware of. Hotel is in very good location.

Good location (not amazing nor walkable to a beach, but certainly convenient for the beautiful nearby town of Porto Vecchio, 5min walk away). Plenty of parking close to apartment blocks. I liked the modern spacious one bedroom apartment and balcony (2 adults in main bedroom, advertised as a queen but felt like a super king size , 2 kids aged 7 and 10 shared the large sofa bed); clean and good-sized swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers and nearby toilet. The gym equipment is minimal (4 or 5 cardio machines, 5-6 weights machines, no floor/ stretching area). Helpful, friendly reception staff to assist with local knowledge and any tourist bookings. Negatives include- no balls nor inflatables in the pool, not allowed to walk on the grass. Be prepared- they supply one toilet roll. You will need to supply hand soap, all toiletries, washing up equipment, bin bags and surplus toilet rolls. Not a problem but useful to know beforehand. Despite the many positives, my main dislike was that the complex had very little character. It felt like a generic apartment block which could have been anywhere in the world. There’s nothing personalised to identify that you’re in Corsica or France. You will benefit from a hire car to explore the surrounding area. We drove as little as 10-15 mins to beautiful local beaches and up to 1.5 hrs to go canyoning in the mountains which was the highlight of our week! Also be sure to visit Bonifacio, 30-45 min drive depending on traffic.

Fantastic base for exploring Corse du Sud. Ample free parking. Location perfect. The pool is wonderful, but a little cold. The gym is small but functional. Apartments are a good size, huge terrace overlooking the mountains that had sun during the day, well equipped. Feels very safe. The complex itself is very well maintained. I’d definitely stay here again.

A comfortable apartment in good location
The apartment was comfortable and spacious. We had a lovely large balcony with a view of attractive gardens and parking. It was very quiet even though we were next to the lift - we couldn't hear it. The amenities including the swimming pool were also very attractive. The location was excellent with the Port only a few minutes walk away and the Old Town a 15 minute walk. There was a large supermarket at the end of the drive too.

Great place but No WiFi
Nice property very well maintained by the staff. Perhaps Better for a week + stay than 3 nights. Lovely pool and pool bar lady. Only issue with this hotel is the WiFi did not work at all our whole stay which the reception knew and with such a big property should have had an engineer fix it immediately.

Thank you very much for your feedback! We are happy that you have appreciated your stay. We apologize about the Wi-Fi, we are still working on it but it is actually quite common in Corsica to find areas where internet connections as well as mobile networks are not working very well. We have slow zones with a poor broadband service, especially when a lot of people are trying to connect at the same time. Unfortunately, engineers are not able to help... We hope that you have enjoyed staying with us despite this inconvenience!

Nice Apartments close to the Port
The location is fantastic. Its walking distance from the port. The port is very vibrant with lots of bars, restaurants, cafes etc. There is a large supermarket just outside of the apartment complex, making it easily to purchase provisions for breakfast etc. The apartment was comfortable, the kitchen was adequate. The swimming pool is large and well maintained. There is also plenty of parking available for your car. The only 2 downsides of this place are : 1. The reception is open only for a limited number of hours. The check in is only between 5pm-7pm and if you miss this slot, its a problem. 2. There is no ongoing housekeeping. The room is serviced on a weekly basis. On the whole, Salina Bay is a nice and comfortable place to stay and I would not hesitate recommending it.

Excellent accommodation, clean & well decorated. Large patio and very spacious inside. The only negative was the wifi as the connection was very poor. Outside the grounds were kept in immaculate condition with a good pool area. Parking was great too. All within easy walking distance of the supermarket which is just over the road and the port which is a 5-10min walk away.

great hotel,good location
We found the hotel very comfortable and well equipped. It was situated close to a supermarket and some very nice restaurants. The grounds of the hotel were well kept although the pool was very deep and also very cold. there was plenty of parking space, but the large stones on the parking spots made it difficult to drive on and off, everyone had the same problem, so they may want to look into that one.

A perfect base for exploring south Corsica
A lovely setting a short walk from the port and restaurants. Manicured grounds, clean pool and plenty of space. Kids play area for table tennis and climbing etc. Well thought out kitchen with enough stuff to cook basic meals, easy to buy from the nearby supermarket or whilst out and about. Down side - no place to hang out, other than by the pool - nowhere to meet for a drink and swap stories of easily filled days, other than each others rooms or in town. Room cleanliness down to you after arrival - lots of cleaners but none entered. Took own rubbish (no recycling facilities). Bought own loo rolls, towels used for the week. Need own pool towels too - took up valuable easyjet kilograms!. We would go back tomorrow. Had a great time. Highlight for kids the zip wire at Oespedail in the mountains and river swimming. For the grown ups the boat to Iles levezzi from Bonifacio. Overall brilliant but needs a meeting point/ bar on site.

Mixed impression
On the surface everything looks good (nice apartment and good looking pool). The downside is that for this price point the beds are quite uncomfortable, the air-conditioning is noisy and it's annoying to not have the option to book things to the room (you pay a deposit after all) at the pool bar. In addition charging extra for towels and parking seems a little petty. Last but not least the WiFi is very bad. It feels like they want to lure in bookings by presenting a nice first impression but care little about making the stay pleasant. They certainly have to try harder to earn a higher rating.

Dear Sven, Thank you for taking the time to share your impression. We are somehow a bit disapppointed by your comment, the car park is free and both bed linen and bath towels are included in the price, as well as the final cleaning of the apartment... Wifi is indeed not at its best, we are very sorry about that point. This is quite a general issue in the area, but we do hope that fiber optic will improve it! We hope you've nevertheless enjoyed your stay and have spent a nice time in Porto-Vecchio!

La verdure, la piscine, la vue. Cuisine , il manquait beaucoup de choses, à l’arrivée l’étendoir de linge était cassé , des tâches des saleté au niveau des équipements et malgré l’avoir signalé à l’accueil rien n’a été fait. Les autres points négatifs sont le ménage qui n’est compris qu’au bout de 10 jours et ça s’est écrit nul part , on est resté avec les mêmes draps et linge de maison pour toute la durée de notre séjour. Dans la terrasse des guêpes venaient nous rendre visite tous les jours à tel point qu’on était obligé de rentrer à l’intérieur. La deuxième salle de bain sentait énormément la moisissure et ça nous a gêné pendant notre séjour. Bref je n’ai pas été satisfaite de mon séjour.
