We found the hotels was very clean and tidy at all times. the food was a reasonable and the location was perfect the hotel is across the road from the beach and all the bars are up the hill.
We had a complementary bottle of cava and a basket of fruit on our arrival at the hotel. The staff are very friendly and polite at all times.

| said: food was very boring. Was the same thing nearly every night. Chicken fillets are coming out of my ears. Also they ran out of some things on the menu half way through the evening. I found there standards to be very poor.
Swimming pool is not heated outside peak times so the water was ice cold when we were there hardly anyone went into the pool. A bit noisey at times with kids running up and down the corrider at all hours of the night and don't think the room walls are thick as we always heard the people coming in next door and having a row no consideration for other people.
Hotel is right across from the excellent beach.

| said: We first visited this hotel in May 2005 and have stayed here numerous times since.
The hotel is located just across the road from a lovely clean beach with numerous shops in the immediate vicinity.
The rooms are medium sized with extremely comfortable beds, a full bathroom, ample hanging space and drawers, and a full bathroom. The air conditioning is very efficient,bedlinen is changed twice a week and towels are changed whenever you wish.
Pool towels are available for a 10 euro refundable deposit and can be changed daily.
The rooms are cleaned daily and are spotless as is the whole of the hotel.
The food is excellent with numerous choices for both breakfast and dinner and a chef cooking other choice dishes while you wait.
All the staff are friendly and efficient but the pool barmen/barmen, Alphonso and Antonio and Haysoos(sorry about the spelling) in the dining room are outstanding for their extra friendliness and efficiency.
The entertainment team, Wim and Caroline are, in my view, superb and one of the reasons why we return to this hotel. They are both so friendly and will go out of their way to be helpful. Wim organizes daily events for the adults while Caroline organizes daily activities for the children. They help with music and lighting for the professional acts and organize a quiz and bingo. To hear Wim calling bingo numbers in multiple languages is entertainment in itself.
If you like good food, comfortable rooms and a friendly atmosphere in a pleasant resort then we can recommend you holiday at this hotel.

| said: A fantastic hotel to say it is only a 3 star - I personally think it should be a 4.
I stayed for 2 weeks and we never got tired of the hotel food. The variety was excellent.
The location couldn't be better as it's right on the sea front.
The entertainment was also very good. A few of the evenings shows were middle of the road, but most were very impressive and worth watching - particularly the Brazilian Dancers and the Moscow State Circus Acrobats (might sound cheesy but they were actually very professional!).
The only down side is that some of the rooms can be very noisey. My sister had a view of McDonalds - not great - but it was really quiet on a night. My room had a lovely pool view but we were directly above the outdoor stage, and as the entertainment didn't finish until midnight it was very noisey. Not a major problem, but not brilliant if you have young children.

| said: For reasons I wont go into here, we arrived at 3am on Sunday morning and were greeted by a friendly member of staff who checked us in. During our stay the reception staff were always professional and helpful, the pool waiters were very hard working if a little straight faced at times. We usually found someone who spoke or at least understood English. In fairness some of the staff spoke very good English.
A special word for the Restaurant staff who were both extremely efficient and friendly. Get down for your evening meal at 19:30 to see everyone, including the chef, lining up to greet you. There was a good selection of food both breakfast and evening, the only criticism we can think of is that the breakfast bacon and sausages weren't to our taste. As has been mentioned before, the 'pint of beer' for 2.5 Euros is a good buy and a good tipple.
The entertainment we found to be varied, but of mixed quality. We particulally enjoyed the Spanish dancers one night, but watch out for the dodgy Elvis impersonations - although we must say he went down a storm with the Spanish!
We found getting a sunbed around the pool not a problem, so people weren't parking their towels and disappearing as often happens.
The room had a double, single and a camp style bed with a good sized bedroom and also bathroom. More storage space would have been ideal but that provided was adequate. All rooms appeared to have a balcony of some sort and ours was on the side looking up the hill and the view wasn't bad.
Overall the 3 star rating is fair although we would perhaps place it towards the top of the category.

| said: We have just returned from an excellent holiday at the Playa de Mallorca.
This was our first holiday in Spain and I would have to say that I was well pleased with the standards of cleanliness at the hotel in both the public areas and the rooms. Even the tiled floors in the corridors were polished daily! Towels were changed daily and bedding twice each week. The air con is included in the cost of your holiday and is controlled by thermostat in your room.
The buffet was excellent. Breakfast was full English, choice of 4 or5 cereals, cold meat, cheeses, toast, fruit etc etc etc!
For dinner this is a typical example: I had, soup: some salad with dressings and cold meat: a portion of excellent paella: a beef steak cooked to order at the grill with fresh onions and chips: 3 flavours of ice cream and a bit of creme caramel! This was just a small selection of what was on offer! Even our fussy five year old could eat well.
Drinks were reasonable and could be served at your table. (A large beer was 2.5 euro and soft drinks 1.80)
Location was one of the best in the resort. Dont worry if you forget anything when you go to the beach - just go back and get it - 2 mins!! There is a good choice of bars etc within 2 mins walk and "The Square" with its bars and live entertainment took about 10 - 15 mins to walk. One hint though. If your tour operator offer taxi transfers do it. We were in our room, unpacked and down for dinner before the transfer coach arrived.
From arrival to departure every member of staff was friendly and efficient. A special mention must go to the young Belgian couple who run the kids club and entertainment. They were fantastic. Showing genuine concern for the kids and remaining patient even when the parents weren't! That said, there was never any pressure to join in activities just "take it or leave it".
The entertainment ws varied and, on the whole, pretty good. Mini disco was...well a mini disco, the music man, hokey cokey etc but the kids lived it! There is entertainment in the bar most nights which was usually a man with a keyboard singing Gilbert O Sullivan that type of thing, but also live shows like, Flamenco, comedy acrobatics etc on the open air terrace. The Belgian couple who looked after the kids also ran quizzes and bingo and it was amazing how he could rattle off "two littkle ducks" in half a dozen languages!!
I want to go somewhere different next summer but can't imagine I will find a hotel of this standard or as good value for money as this. Excellent!

| said: Stayed in hotel for a week and were delighted by the service and cleanliness.
Breakfast buffet was excellent however felt evening buffet could have had more choice and food sometimes was cold although there is a microwave you can use.
Location is fantastic, couldn't wish to be more central.
Entertainment is basic but no different to any other hotel we have stayed in.
Will be recommending this hotel to family/friends.

| said: What a lovely clean hotel.
Situated right on the beach, you could not ask for more, whilst there was the usual buffets laid out, there was always a chef in the corner, either frying eggs for Breakfast, or frying steak, fish etc. for dinner so you knew is was freshly cooked, and there was never a queue. I must say the pork crackling is too die for.
We have spent the last 2 summer holidays here and have loved it. The entertainment is not up too much but they also have a bar on the outside of the hotel, were you can sit and watch the world pass by.
Last year they had increased the amount of sunbeds, and we always seemed to be able to get one, regardless at what time of day it was. If you like to watch T.V. then only downside would be you cannot get Sky T.V. in your room, but it didn't bother us.
