Stolentime is a beautiful place with stunning nature and genuinely kind people, but you need to arrive without luxury expectations. This is not a high-end resort, and that’s perfectly fine if you know it beforehand. The real treasures here are the water activities, the excellent massage, and the charming little beachfront restaurant. The island excursion was unforgettable, and diving with Monique was a true highlight. Just keep in mind that the beaches are public, so on weekends you’ll share the turquoise ocean with horses, dogs, and local families openly washing themselves and their children. Security staff are around, but they’re locals too — their philosophy seems to be “we’ll step in if something actually happens.”||As for entertainment, the evening shows were hit or miss. A few were truly enjoyable, but others felt more like a test of patience — and for a resort that likes to present itself as stylish and upscale, some performances were simply tone-deaf. The so-called French restaurant is French in name only — with a Moroccan chef, it feels more like a theme experiment than actual French cuisine. The main restaurant? Think of a cafeteria with plenty of canned goods, where fresh cooking means… eggs. My biggest disappointment, however, was the room situation. Management decided, on their own, to “upgrade” me to a suite I hadn’t asked for, which cost me half a day of waiting with no lunch, no water, no alternatives — just wasted time. I had deliberately chosen a simple second-floor room, so this unsolicited gesture only created a rocky attitude from the manager for the rest of my stay. The rest of the staff tried their best and were polite, but the overall impression was spoiled. In the end, for what Stolentime charges, you can easily find other resorts on the island that deliver both charm and proper management — without the surprises.
