| said: Arrived at hotel staff very pleasant, hotel very clean and airy, room had been used by smokers so smelt a little but once balcony doors were open all was OK. Rooms very clean but a bit dated, bath towels changed daily.
Food was typically Spanish and varied each day there was always something nice to eat, I heard some people moaning that it was Spanish food, but why go Spain and expect English food ??
The pools always looked very clean, not sure how warm they were as never tried.
We were all inclusive so all food, soft drinks and local alcohol was included which was very good value you could drink all day if you wanted.
Also your pass for the hotel let you into all of the chains other hotels for dinner and drinks and free bus to and from which made a change as you could eat at a different hotel each day if you liked.
On the whole value for money this was an ideal all inclusive holiday you pay 3* you don't expect 5*
Yes will go back again in a couple of years time Very enjoyable.

10 adults and 12 children lovely hotel very clean and staff were helpful. Rooms kept clean and towels changed daily although I did have to ask for extra but this was not a problem.
Ate out every night so cant comment on food in hotel. Outdoor pool was freezing but it was oct so kids spent most of the time in indoor pool lots to do for kids in day time although there was only one rep, but we made our own fun because there was so many of us.
Football pitch/basketball/water polo/volley ball/plus mini rides and pool /table tennis and crazy golf nearby. Beach was also close but was shingle and not sand.

| said: I posted a previous review on Brava Park which reccomended it for a quiet family self catering holiday.
We visited Bravapark this month for the 5th time in 3 years, the ownership has changed to H-TOP and the clientele has changed beyond belief since our last visit.
Brava Park is now dominated by the low price all inclusive traveller, most of whom just want to have a normal holiday and enjoy themselves without upsetting anyone else, as is always the case the small minority manage to turn the complex into a rowdy beer hall type environment where anything goes including foul language, shouting from the balcony at 4 A.M and generally turning what was a peacefull apartment block into a place to make you cringe.
This may be purely coincidence but wherever the Brits go the atmosphere changes from good humour to something like a football crowd with many trying to out perform each other by showing how low they can go with their language and behaviour.
I feel sorry for the staff there, we only had to put up with it for 1 week. Some of the staff knew us as they had worked there for a few years and they seemed unable to understand how dramatically the placed had changed in less than a year.
To sum up I would not take my familly there again - even if they paid me to go. If I were a 20 year old who wanted to get completely out of control on the cheap I think I would love it, with the vomiting competitions,foul language und unlimited booze till midnight, followed by the "lets wake everyone up" game at 4 A.M I'd have a great time.
H-TOP should wake up to how they have spoilt this place, they can't make that much more money by doing this.

| said: This hotel was totally unsuitable for families it was full of groups of young Italians trying to out sing and shout each other until early hours.
The staff were unhelpful and didn't care. Had my mobile stolen from locked room (no sign of break in).
Glass found in pool on few occasions.
Entertainment was useless. No plus points for Brava Park. awful.

| said: Having just returned from a stay in this hotel, I felt that I needed to review it in order to let people know what its like before they consider visiting it themselves.
Three friends and I stayed in this hotel and problems began on arrival. The staff that checked us in was extremely unhelpful and we were left to find our own way to our room as we had been given no directions. Once inside we found that the bathroom door would not close as the frame was too small, which meant that we couldn’t close the door the whole time. The fridge was also unable to be used as although it was switched on, was not cold and had a disgusting smell. Despite all this we persevered.
I also would not say that this hotel is entirely suitable for families, due to the general rowdiness of the place. There were many times each day that there would be groups of people singing and shouting from the balconies which overlook the pool. The noise often continued long into the early hours of the morning and there were many complaints about the noise.
We went half board in this hotel and the food was not at all satisfactory. The meals were bland and pretty much the same every single day. Nearly everything contained fish.
I was also extremely extremely disappointed in this hotel when we had a very large amount of money stolen from our locked room. On reporting this to the staff they were very unhelpful and not at all concerned, merely telling us that we'd have to take it up with the police. We were offered no aftercare after the robbery or given the option to move rooms. We were also told that this wasn't the first time that such a theft had occurred in the hotel in the recent weeks prior to our incident.
I would not return to this hotel.

| said: Bravapark apartments are good value for money and just the job if you want to stay somewhere quiet, any noise after midnight is really frowned upon, this is great if you just want a quiet break.
We stayed there in September 2004. June 2005 and have already booked to go back there in September 2005 so you can see what we think of them however there are a couple of points to remember.
We have never seen any other Brits there and almost all are Dutch, they are very friendly once they know you are English and go out of their way to make you welcome, perhaps the lack of Brits is why its so nice and quiet without gangs of drunken youths staggering round at 3.A.M.
Bravapark is definately centered around families and although our kids have now grown up it is nice to be able to stay somewhere quiet with a mix of age groups.
Although they are apartments the prices are cheap enough so that 2 people can use a sleep 4 apartment between them for about £30 per apartment in September.
This is good value.
All apartments are self catering and equiped in the usual way - fridge microwave etc. there are good eating facilities attached where you can get a buffet breakfast and evening meal at a reasonable price - about 5 Euros for breakfast.
Bravapark is located just out of the busiest area of Fenals but is only about 100 yards from the shops and bars etc and about 300 yards from the beach.
The staff there are really helpful and friendly and all seemed to speak English if anything they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
In summary it is a good place to stay if you want quiet nights, a good swimming pool with a massive garden surrounding it at a good price.
What you don't get there:
Any late night noise, any room cleaning,though there is a launderette on site and linnen can be changed for 50 cents an item, any scramble for sun loungers or space, even at 2.P.M in July we could always get a space and a lounger.
