I feel a bit conflicted when rating this hotel. The staff were very kind and helpful, everything was clean, the food was good, and the surroundings were pleasant. Unfortunately, the dining room atmosphere was a major downside for me. The buffet area was very crowded, guests were cutting in line and there were even arguments at times. Seating space was also quite limited — tables and chairs were placed very close together, making it difficult even for staff to move around. As a result, every breakfast and dinner felt more stressful than enjoyable, which is a pity because otherwise we had a nice holiday. Nevertheless, thank you for a pleasant stay and for the staff’s dedicated approach.
Enjoyed our stay here! All the staff we had contact with were really friendly. We arrived just before midnight and checking in was quick and easy, and then the receptionist informed us of their food for after hours check in guests, which was a little buffet of snack foods - nice surprise. The rooms were clean and spacious. However my room was advertised as '3 beds' and one was just a sofa pull out. Housekeeping was very helpful with requests of extra towels and linen. Balcony view of the pool was quite nice. The room was a little bit stuffy and there was no air conditioning that we could locate, and unfortunately reception said they had no fans that they could provide. The breakfast buffet that we had included in our booking was quite good and I really liked that it varied in choice from day to day. Location was great! Only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and access to plenty of shops and restaurants. We came in for a birthday celebration and were left a note in the room for a free bottle of sparkling wine, which was a nice touch from the business! Would definitely come back here and would recommend for friends and family
We payed for Sea Views and at the beginning were disappointed but after a day, realised we had a lucky escape. Smoking is allowed in all outdoor spaces including balconies!! I didn't realise that people are still stupid enough to smoke as 1 in 2 die a horrible death from Cancer. For some reason this hotel attracts smokers. If you want to use the main pool area you can't as there are smokers all over, same with the bar, all outdoor spaces are taken with smokers. We had to abandon our balcony a few times due to smokers. Heaven knows what it was like on the balconies in the main hotel as the smoke wafts up. Reminded me of the 1980s. The Chico part of the hotel is old but has a charm. The balconies are dirty and falling to bits with lots of cracks, the lift is lethal as my girlfriend got her arm trapped in the door and came up in a big bruise. The mattress on the bed was collapsed and we were glad to get home to have some sleep. You only get one pillow so you have to lay flat and there are no hooks in the bathroom! When you have a shower you have to put a towel on the floor to stop the bathroom from flooding. The food is variable. The main course food was often not good unless the lady chef was cooking. Several times I had to fill up on vegetables but the sweet course was often fantastic apart from cold rice pudding? I know there were many nationalities. I did enjoy the pancakes we had but unfortunately that was one morning. All of the staff from the waiting staff/ cleaners/ Receptionists were brilliant all except for the women with the short hair in the bar. But the staff made the hotel for us. The position of the hotel is great in a relatively quiet area but close to a large beach and a nice small cove. Plus it was easy to get a bus and they were cheapish and very efficient compared to the UK. Would I go back? It's a pity but, no, the smell of the smokers is just too much.
We’ve been really impressed with our stay so far. The hospitality has been wonderful and the food excellent. A special thanks to the reception team — when we had trouble sleeping due to some noise outside/nearby, they were incredibly friendly and understanding. Even though the hotel was fully booked, they went out of their way to find us a different room quickly, which made a huge difference. Their support was fast, helpful, and much appreciated. We still have a few days left here, but we’re already very happy with our experience. Highly recommend!
Currently at this hotel for a week. All I can say is it appears that the management of this place seemed to have lost all concept of accommodation and its basic needs. First of all the aircon which isn’t working in our room. When asked about this they told us it’s Spanish law for it not to be on which upon review appears to not be the case. The problem being that during the day temps are around 25 degrees which is lovely but the temps in the room rise due to the heat held in the building at night. Rooms temps of around 28 degrees on an evening with only one option of leaving the balcony door and curtains wide up. Which if I’m honest does very little. Secondly the beds. Best described at past there sell by date. Result being the worst bad back I’ve ever had in my 47 years of life. Upon review it appears my mattress is absolutely shot. With regards to the roof top bar and entertainment it’s simply not there at this time of year yet advertised before you book. We did however have a band last night who started playing only to be told by management to turn it down abit at 8.35 in the evening. The swimming pool is in need of attention and that cold due to never seeing any sun that even polar bears would avoid it. It’s not seen one person in the week we have been here. This is my first Google review but I feel it’s required as the basics of a 4 star hotel are clean, comfortable and adequate facilities. This hotel at this time of year fails on all 3 and def isn’t a 4 star experience. Big shame as its location is decent but the management need to listen to their customers feedback and staff comments rather then run the place into the ground which is what’s happening.
