Hotel Terramar

“A fair review. It really isn’t as bad as the reviews.”

That’s a useful detail for future guests. I’ve added it as a separate section: Travelled myself and my 2 daughters. Yes, there was a bit of flaky paint, a few chips in the walls and a little rust here and there, but the hotel was clean and tidy and staff were always present. I felt I had to write… more

That’s a useful detail for future guests. I’ve added it as a separate section: Travelled myself and my 2 daughters. Yes, there was a bit of flaky paint, a few chips in the walls and a little rust here and there, but the hotel was clean and tidy and staff were always present. I felt I had to write this review because, after reading some of the reviews beforehand, I was wondering whether we had made the right decision booking this hotel. However, we were pleasantly surprised, as it really wasn’t that bad. Arrival & Transfer: Reception staff were present when we arrived. We had booked all-inclusive and arrived at around 12pm. We were told that food would not be available until the evening meal, but we could have drinks and snacks in the meantime. We booked our holiday through a travel agent. The airport transfer did not drop us directly outside the hotel. Instead, we were dropped off on the beachfront and had to walk around the corner to reach the hotel. The return transfer pickup was from the same location. It is worth checking Google Maps before you travel so you know exactly where you need to walk when you arrive. Rooms: The rooms were basic but tidy and cleaned every day. There was only one plug socket in the room, but we always take an extension lead on holiday, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Length of stay: We stayed for 3 nights. Meal Times: Breakfast: 8:00am - 10:00am Lunch: 1:00pm - 2:00pm Evening meal: 7:00pm - 9:00pm Food: The selection wasn’t as large as you would find in bigger hotels, but we always found something we wanted to eat. The food was tasty and we enjoyed what we had. Snacks: There wasn’t a great deal of choice when it came to snacks. There were usually a few muffins, croissants and similar pastries available, along with burgers and hot dogs. We weren’t always sure how long some of the hot food had been sitting out for. Drinks: Drinks were served in small plastic cups, and guests were only allowed one drink per person each time. The cups were not filled to the top and, without ice, were only around half full. One disappointment was that the hotel regularly ran out of certain alcoholic drinks, despite the hotel being relatively quiet during our stay. For an all-inclusive hotel, we expected a more consistent supply of alcohol. Pool Area: The pool area was quite small and there were not many sunbeds available. However, this wasn’t a major issue for us as we spent most of our days on the beach and only returned to the hotel pool area later in the afternoon. Families: Personally, I’m not sure this is a hotel I would choose for a family holiday with young children. Apart from the swimming pool, there didn’t seem to be much entertainment or activities aimed at children. Beach: We spent most of our time on the beach. Sunbeds were €10 each and a parasol was €5. Overall: The hotel was fairly quiet for this time of year. We had read some really bad reviews before arriving and were dreading what we might find, but we were pleasantly surprised. It really wasn’t as bad as some people make out. You get what you pay for, and as long as you’re not expecting a 5-star hotel, you’ll be fine. While there were a few negatives, particularly regarding the drinks service, snack selection and availability of alcohol, the hotel was better than we expected based on some of the reviews we had read beforehand. For us, the hotel worked well as a base for a short beach holiday. We spent most of our days out enjoying the beach and used the hotel mainly for meals, drinks and relaxing in the evenings.

“Not as bad as people make it out to be”

Genuinely not as bad as people are making out, drinks are available on tap we have never been declined, and they are always stocked up. The food is average but what do you expect for such a cheap price, the breakfast is the best meal of the day with bigger variety. The hotel room is basic but clean… more

The food is average but what do you expect for such a cheap price, the breakfast is the best meal of the day with bigger variety. The hotel room is basic but clean but we’ve had a lovely stay. No rude staff, always been helped if we’ve needed it, and overall we’ve had a lovely time
