Great hotel, friendly staff, good breakfast. On arrival you’re offered a glass of bubbly. Nice pool and sun beds. Beautifully decorated outside areas with lots and lots of plants and Bonsai trees. Suites really comfy, shower very powerful. Towels changed daily if you wish. One downside, hotel is a five minute taxi ride to town/beach which we didn’t realise, however, the taxi is only 5 euros so cheap! Hotel provides shuttle bus to beach daily. You could walk to town but I think it would take about 30 minutes on a main road Front of house staff very helpful. We got a private taxi back to airport as coach wanted to pic us up 5 hrs before flight departed! Cost €50 takes 1/2 hr. Would go again as nice chilled time.

I recently booked a seven-day stay at Hotel LIVVO, Los Calderones. My experience was way beyond my expectations. This is an extremely well-run hotel and I have many reasons for making that statement. Firstly, without exception, I found all staff to be genuinely warm and professional. This included: reception, maintenance, cleaning, and waiting-on staff – I have probably left out a staff group but this is not my intention. My apartment was exceptionally clean, comfortable and fairly spacious. The pool areas were clean and very well maintained. The choice at breakfast was extensive and very well presented. On a couple of occasions, I ate dinner in the restaurant which was also of a very high standard. The onsite gym was quite well equipped and also well maintained. There is a small shop in the reception area which is open 24-hours a day. This was ideal for purchasing water, snacks etc The hotel is situated close to a taxi rank; however, Faro lighthouse is a pleasant 25-minute walk away. Similarly, Playa de Ingles is about a 40-minute walk away. I am most impressed by the customer care, facilities and standard of the hotel and I shall book an autumn break there this year. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hotel to other potential guests; I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Really Great little find! Would return!

“Solo 10 day trip”

I had 10 lovely days as a solo traveller and most importantly I felt safe staying here. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk into Meloneras which wasn’t a problem to me as I love walking but may be a problem to others. There’s a free bus shuttle that runs to the beach several times a day, and there’s als… more

I had 10 lovely days as a solo traveller and most importantly I felt safe staying here. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk into Meloneras which wasn’t a problem to me as I love walking but may be a problem to others. There’s a free bus shuttle that runs to the beach several times a day, and there’s also a taxi rank, the bus stop is a short stroll away. Meloneras €1.40, airport €4.05 Check/in - smooth but was asked to pay €709 on arrival which had already been paid to ‘love holidays’. I then had to prove that this had been deducted from my bank account and was requested to email the hotel. After travelling all day this was a little inconvenient, guests are also asked to leave a deposit of €100 unbelievably for “towels”. Accommodation - great, comfortable, and clean. The only negative is that the walls are thin between apartments…. The rooms are spacious with plenty of hanging space. I stayed in room 214 which was a pool view room and it was lovely sitting on the balcony with my cup of coffee early evening. Food - I opted for half board, there was always a good choice but sadly not the hottest and this really needs to be improved. It wasn’t just a one off occurrence, it was every day. I decided to cancelled my half board and ate out each evening in Meloneras. Breakfast , a lovely choice of fresh juices, cereals, fruit, cheeses, pastries, bread and pancakes. I found the cooked selection a disappointment as the bacon looked like grilled ham and sausages were like hot dogs. There was a choice of scrambled or fried eggs but both sadly cold, I never tried the omelette station. Dinner, again a lovely selection of fruit, cheeses, salads etc. I opted for the soup of the day most evenings. You can select fresh fish or meat to be cooked. A choice of one or two main dishes. I loved the rice pudding dessert so didn’t try any of the others, All pools were great with ample sun-beds to relax. The pool bar is nice with an ample lunchtime menu, they had entertainment some nights which thankfully didn’t go on too late. The gym was clean but I didn’t use it. There’s a small shop onsite which isn’t overly expensive. There are scales in reception to weigh returning suitcases for €1. Overall, this is a lovely base for a quiet holiday. It’s a bit out of the way, however, great transport links to get around. The majority of staff were very friendly and I would return. If you’re reading my review and you’re planning to stay please could you give the tabby cat a stroke from his friend from Northumberland. Thank you, I hope to return on day.
