We were apprehensive about our stay after reading recent reviews but thankfully we had a great time. We booked very recently and were looking for a relaxing time. Some main points from our experience 1) contact reception if your have any requests or queries as they were very accommodating and helpful. 2)There are a lot of stairs around the complex so be prepared but access to the main 2 pools and bar/restaurant are near the ground floor. 3)We(adults)had a decent sized 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor with air conditioning. Room was basic but bed/sofa bed comfortable and nice big bathroom and shower. Small fridge, kettle and toaster which we used and 2 ring hob which we didn't. 4)We were all inclusive and the food was decent so no complaints from us. Plenty of seating available and good choice of salads, cold meats, cheese etc, grilled meats and vegetables and soup each day for lunch and dinner. Breakfast had good choices too with eggs, pancakes on offer with cold meats/cheese/yoghurt etc I know other reviewers have commented on the standard of food however can assure you everything we ate was delicious. 5)On AI you can help yourself to teas, coffees, cold drinks and water all day. I believe guests on bed and breakfast and half board also can help themselves to water. AI guests can also self serve wine and lager at lunch and dinner. 6)AI had Limited snacks available after breakfast and lunch e.g. cheese and ham toasties, burgers, hot dogs and chips (all made to order). You can also have ice cream from the freezer) 7)Alcoholic drinks on AI were "the usual" local brands but were ok for us. 8)All bar, restaurant, reception and maintenance staff in our experience were friendly, helpful and very hard working. 9)Only visited pool no 3 which was bigger than the other 2 with limited sunloungers available on a deck above it. Yes the pool/deck was in need of repair (as well as some of the older toilet facilities)but I get the sense that the hotel is working on improvement. 10)We didn't see a lot of the entertainment but there seemed to be different acts or bingo type events each evening. 11)There are lots of great pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area with a 5 minute walk either turn left or turn right to go down to the front. Special mention to Charlys, The Shamrock. 10) We learned there is a free courtesy bus to las Americas which stops outside hotel but did not use it. 12) Also a Special mention to "Mira"(I think that is her name)who checked us in as she was very welcoming and had arranged for refreshments and sandwiches for us as we were late arrivals. 13) You can request a late checkout( for a fee and dependent on availability)but no one we spoke to managed to secure one as we were told fully booked. 14) There is luggage room which is locked so you can store your cases before you leave and you can still use facilities and AI. The hotel should consider providing a "courtesy room" like some other hotels do so guests can shower. I would even pay a small fee however appreciate this would need maintenance (fresh towels provided and cleaned between use). All in all a good week in the sun and in our opinion good value for what we paid.

“Pleasant place to stay, location is excellent.”

This is an honest review and opinion of our stay at Checkin Bungalows Atlantida. We had read many reviews before we booked this place, a lot of people said that you can get an apartment far away which is true as there are over 500 apartments at the complex. We emailed the Hotel prior to our arrival if we could get an apartment near Reception and surprisingly on our arrival they did oblige. Reception area is roomy and clean, although only 2 members of staff at Reception. We had arrived prior to check in time but the Receptionist was very helpful and checked us in and gave us a voucher for free lunch and showed us where to put our bags for storage. The rooms are clean big and fresh, not 5* but pleasant enough for nights stay. Our issue was aircon as its only in 1 room, you also have to pay €20 deposit for the remote, €30 deposit a day for use of an Iron and €3 a day fee to use the room safe. Rooms get cleaned every 2 days unless you advise them otherwise. We only booked Breakfast which was pleasant but quite repetitive. The whole complex is quite dated in need of a refurbishment but very clean. Tennis Courts, 3 Swimming Pools, Mini Golf, Solarium and a football court is available for use. There are no sunbed wars at the pool which was a godsend. Evening entertainment is not the best but you can't have it all. Overall a pleasant clean place with an excellent location.
