“Loved it!”

On arrival we were greeted by the pleasant staff on reception. As a family of 6 we had booked 2 rooms and were expecting to be split up. We were delighted to be told we could have a family room. The room was in ‘M’ block which is at the very top of the property up a tonne of steps. A fair trade for a quiet family room. The room was clean and spacious with a good sized balcony. We also had a lovely view. As this was my first time staying all inclusive I was worried about the food. I needn’t had bothered worrying. Every day there was a wide selection to choose from. My 3 boys definitely got their moneys worth. The hotel had a family friendly atmosphere with plenty for the kids to do. Maribel and Minerva the girls from the animaçion team did a brilliant job organising darts, ping pong, archery and shooting. On an evening the entertainment consisted of bingo, quizzes and local acts. The bar on an evening was lively but not noisy and the drinks were good. The hotel is located on one of Cala Llonga’s hills. The hill is steep and I’m glad we no longer have to deal with pushchairs. A steady walk to the bars and restaurants takes about 15mins and another 5 to the beach. We had a brilliant time and I can’t wait to return. Yes the hotel is on a hill. Yes there are insects. Yes the hotel needs a little tlc. It could be worse. You could be walking up a hill,to work,at home, in the rain.

“Done for a cheap break”

As long as you know it’s only two star and not expecting 4 stars service then you be ok . Stayed here for a long weekend. Check in was fine with no issues. Had issue with hot water but got sorted after 15 minutes off reporting it, shame the same can’t be said about asking three times for some duv... more

As long as you know it’s only two star and not expecting 4 stars service then you be ok . Stayed here for a long weekend. Check in was fine with no issues. Had issue with hot water but got sorted after 15 minutes off reporting it, shame the same can’t be said about asking three times for some duvets as cold at night and heater did not work on air con system. The air fans are old and loud but did work with cold air. The apartments are dated and does need a refurb but it was clean and ok for a short break. The food was basic and simple but actually ok. Drinks on all inclusive but again was fine for what we paid. Swimming pool was good size and decent. There are lots and lots of steps on complex, we stayed in block C which was near reception, the pool and main building. We enjoyed the large balcony we had and made the most of it. I would return to complex of if I got another cheap deal. Bar staff friendly and no issues . The little snack bar is good as they make food to order and there is also a small area of ready made snacks. If you come with an open mind that it’s basic and no big problems then you be fine

“Not bad but wouldn't go back”

It is advertised as a 2 star and I knew it was up a steep hill when booking so this review does take that into account. Reception welcome was great and check in and out were quick and easy.

It is advertised as a 2 star and I knew it was up a steep hill when booking so this review does take that into account. Reception welcome was great and check in and out were quick and easy. I was traveling as a single parent with my son and our room was great. From speaking to other guests however, it did sound a bit like there was a room lottery going on as many others complained of dirty, old décor, water leaks and broken air con so it sounds like we were very lucky. The room wasn't cleaned each day however which was disappointing: I'd even have been happy if just the bins were emptied. The pool is nice: a larger shallow area would have been better for wee ones however. The kid's pool was as shallow as a puddle so wasn't an option for my 7 year old. The hotel was at full capacity when I was there and most days I couldn't get a sun bed, even away from the pool, so had to sit in the bar area to keep an eye on my son which wasn't very relaxing. They had a bitter sweet policy of having to return your cup each time you wanted a drink: great that there weren't masses of plastic cups lying around but SUPER annoying when you forget your cup and you have to trek back up the hill to get it (especially annoying as a single parent who couldn't leave their kid to nip back up). The bar service was also incredibly slow so wasn't an option for me to get a drink during the day when my kid was in the pool as couldn't leave him that long and didn't want to ask him to get out whilst I queued. Most of the bar staff were incredibly rude too to both each other and the guests: not a nice atmosphere at all to be around. The food was fine for what it was: the staff in the restaurant were great and work tirelessly to keep the place clean and stocked. I don't regret staying here as I think I lucked out on the room but I'd have no reason to go back nor to recommend. If you got a good deal and aren't too fussy however, I think it would be a suitable hotel for you.
