A very nice Hotel. Great location on the beach . Good quality accomodation, rooms and corridors possibly a little dated however nothing to detract from the stay. 5th floor ( top floor)rooms provide far reaching sea views. Public areas are well kept and maintained with a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel does attract a wide selection of guests. Drinks and food were a particular highlight with a nice dining experience, plenty of fresh fish and meat along with salads, pizzas etc. Pleased with pigs cheeks and rabbit dishes, really well cooked and delicious. If you have a sweet tooth then desserts are Fantastic and made in house rather than bought in, my wife is a coeliac so requested a GF dessert and one was provided without hesitation. The pool area wasn't to my liking, the composite decking is a bit dodgy and the pools aren't deep, 1.2 metres and the layout doesn't make for swimming however they are cleaned and maintained. All inclusive plus is good value with branded drinks and snacks. Overall a very good hotel and better than our expectations, certainly will return.

“Fantastic hotel”

We stayed here from 25th April for a week booked through easyJet holidays, family of 3 adults and 4 year old autistic non verbal little girl.

We stayed here from 25th April for a week booked through easyJet holidays, family of 3 adults and 4 year old autistic non verbal little girl. I’d already booked special assistance with easyJet and emailed the hotel directly to ask for low level rooms and an early check in due to arriving by mid day. Upto arrival we had a lovely warm welcome from the receptionist who explained everything in detail, are rooms were ready which was fantastic. We had been upgraded up ground floor rooms with amazing little terrace and access to the pool. The rooms 111 & 112 were near reception so not far to the restaurant. Two huge comfy double beds in each room. There was a small fridge in each room too which was great. The food was delicious, lots of variety and constantly being replenished. Breakfast was great lots to choose from and show cooking area did delicious omelettes. Lunch and dinner had lots of variety you would never go hungry, the desserts were amazing and most nights there was a chocolate fountain. I loved that when you entered the restaurant you were asked for your drinks order we were normally given a very nice chilled bottle of red wine and a large glass bottle of water that did the three of us, plus fruit juice for our granddaughter. It was busy being the weekend but we had already read reviews about how busy the weekends were with local visitors. The staff were all amazing we didn’t encounter any issues at all, yes there was occasionally a language barrier but more our fault for not being able to speak much Spanish. The staff tried their hardest to understand our needs and used google translate at times 🥰. The pools were fantastic, yes a bit cold, the little playground was a god send our granddaughter loved it. The animation team were always happy and friendly getting people involved but never too pushy. The grill bar of a day was great for snacks, hot dogs, burgers, toasties, fries and the nicest chicken nuggets any of us have ever had. Then later cakes and sandwiches which you could toast. Fresh fruit too. We dined in the A La Carte restaurant, there were two menus, a Mediterranean and an Asian, we choose the Asian, lovely warm welcome from Sandra, she explained the menu, the sushi was delicious then little gyros and a choice of 3-4 mains, 3 desserts too. The meal was amazing and would highly recommend going. Drinks were fantastic, we never had any issues with queuing and only ever waited a few minutes during busy times. Bar staff were so friendly and welcoming. Entertainment started around 8 each evening with singers, they were all fantastic, yes they sang in Spanish which didn’t bother us at all, we’re in Spain, that’s what we would expect. It’s actually really nice to go to a hotel that isn’t over run with British people and is typically Spanish, we loved that. The location is great too right on the beach with a fantastic promenade to walk for miles. We would definitely recommend and cannot wait to return. Thank you for making our holiday so amazing.

Prior to leaving, I saw an influx of negative reviews and it made me really concerned. However I must say, this was not representative of our trip. If you go looking you will find negatives, but from our experience the majority of the staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming. We would attempt to speak the very basic Spanish we know, teaching and encouraging our daughter too.. (hi, bye, good morning, thank you etc) to the staff and they almost always spoke English back. I think trying to speak a little of the language of the country your in, goes a long way with the natives. Were areas of the hotel a little dirty.. yes. But only externally and id argue that's down to the wind which often picked up in the afternoon. Our room was cleaned very well. The pool was cleaned by pump every morning, with life guards using a net to clean big items away periodically. The only thing I'd say here, is during the morning, wed note from our balcony, a cleaner cleaning the deck near the larger pool, but the kids pool deck remained unswept, which with people going in and out, caused a lot of debris (from the palm trees) in the kids pool. As a vegetarian, I didn't find many meat substitutes like vegan sausage etca, although they had a lot of meat free dishes - I'm just fussy. I saw a lot of reviews that referenced the food negatively. I think as a Nation, generally speaking, us Brits are used to fast food, not freshly prepared dishes, so it may not be to everyone's tastes and smaller kids may struggle, although they had chips and nuggets - be it chicken or fish. They had a lovely staple salad selection every evening. A variety of bread and a large range of dishes including live cooking stations. There is an emphasis on fish, but that is to be expected within Spanish cuisine and being on the coast I also saw complaints about the entertained being themed to Spanish guests... I don't know what people were expecting, your in Spain! I think it's great there was entertainment that speaks to the Spanish culture. We attended a disco that was predominately all English singing artists, which my daughter, as well as other kids enjoyed. There was also live acts which also sung in English and Spanish. Within the foyer they played English songs too. They also had bingo, darts and shuffle board to name but a few games to entertain guests. All the animacion staff were absolutely fantastic. Such a credit to the hotel. We were a little disheartened to learn the foam party which was scheduled for Friday was having to be rescheduled due to the weather, but due to my wife's persistent sarcasm and nagging (sorry) they did it, despite the winds and honestly, it was the highlight of our holiday. We are so thankful for the team for still going ahead. I think it's is a great hotel, all things considered. If I could pick it up and move it to a sandy beach I would. But I'm incredibly thankful for the priceless moments and memories this hotel created for my family. I personally would recommend it to others. I think early May is a perfect time to go, no Spanish national holidays (aside from May 2nd) and still very pleasant temperatures - Real feel 24°c on average. Additionally as an LGBT+ family, it was not only refreshing to see similar families, who evidently picked this hotel for it's inclusiveness, but we felt very accepted by everyone, including locals, when we walked along the promenade and into the shopping strip. We arguably felt more comfortable here, than in parts of England.

Hotel Failed to deliver on the pictures and rating its gained via the easyjet website. We arrived later than expected due to the usual delays 2300 of which the reception staff weren't helpful in supplying us with any water or food, and seems disintrested in helping us with two babys to our room. The hotel is certainly catered for locals rather than travlers, the food was incredible poor pretty much the same every day, the restaurant staff were pretty great, bar staff not so great. Pools are lovely but rather chilly, but dont think you can use the indoor pool that costs €12 per adult for 2 hours oh and of course and obligatory hat that must be worn at the cost of €4 (take shower caps in from your bathroom to save wasting money!) The gym is €5 per day, of which provides no useful weights. The beds were banana shaped not uncomfortable but equally not comfortable. Entertainment was poor bar the weekend to cater for locals. Kids mini disco and animation team were great so shout out to those, although bar in mind the holiday club is for 4+. The use of restaurants is limited to 1 per 7 days, although it wasnt great anyway. We did have fun though towards the end. The area itself is quite and doesnt have much going on. We wont be returning to this hotel/area. Do have a good look into this before booking.
