| | Comments: | Stayed at this hotel in late November.
Firstly the bad points: - the hotel is situated down a very steep bank (cardiac hill is what it’s called) so if you want to venture out for a walk beware). Although there are plenty of lifts in the hotel you were forever waiting for one sometimes up to 10 minutes.
The entertainment was absolute rubbish, it was ok for the young children but for adults “definitely not”. That is all the bad points.
The rooms are situated on floors 1 to 5, 5 being the highest. Floor 6 is ?, 7 is the restaurant accessed via floor 8 which is the reception and floor 9 is the pool area and pool bar pool restaurant / snack bar.
There is a free safety deposit box and air con in the room and our room was cleaned nearly every day, the cleaners were very good. All room have a sea view but if I were you I would ask for a high floor say 4 or 5.
Floor one is at the bottom and you will have a view of the sea obscured by the netting over the cliff, all rooms have a sea view. There is also a mini fridge in your room, you can get free 1 litre bottles of water from reception and there is a small shop there.
All in all the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. But there is some signs of wear & tear at the hotel which the management are gradually addressing.
There were 2 sittings for the evening meal 6.30 or 8.30 we were initially on the 8.30 time but changed to the 6.30 as we do not like eating late the food was good with a large variety. The chefs actually cook some of the food in front of you, it is all a self service buffet type sitting.
The pool bar restaurant had speciality nights which were 3 nights barbecue, 3 nights Canarian and so on but you have to book the day before, we did not try the evening meals up there. There are 2 pools and a gym on the 9th floor and a food bar where you can have a late breakfast and lunch.
You just help yourself to soft drinks, tea/coffee, wine and beer. If you want spirits or cocktails there is a bar, if you want named drinks just ask for them. On arrival you get a card each for pool towels for the sun beds, you exchange the cards for these near the pool and you can change them daily.
There is also a sun terrace on the 9th floor which was very peaceful, ie- no children. The entertainment staff run competitions/games throughout the day
We did venture out into Puerto Rico for a couple of nights out, prices varied went into M & M’s bar bottles of beer were 1-1.5 Euros, named spirits were 2 Euros.
Got ripped off in Harleys bar 6.50Euros for a Smirnoff & coke and 7.0 Euros for 2 local gin & tonics and it was supposed to be 2 for the price of one, the 007 bar opposite (same owner) were half the price. Found it very quite this time of year.
Taxi from hotel to centre was about 3.5 Euros, just go to reception and they will order you one, it only takes a couple of minutes to arrive.
I would definitely go back to this hotel again. Beware do not be overweigh on your luggage back to the airport they definitely charge you 11 Euros per Kg even if you are just over.
