| said: the hotel was spotlessly clean. there was a great variety of food each nght which would suit everyone. the location let the hotel down as the area around the hotel looked tired and needs updating. there is not enough shops or restaurants. most staff were helpful and friendly including the cleaners. entertainment not up to much and our children ended up providing there own entertainment ie cards, boardgames. fantastic pool area with plenty of sunbeds and parosols. very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. would be tempted to try it again. would recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday.
only downside are the cockroaches plenty on the island but hotel do try there best to fumigate them. we did see 3 in our room in 10 days we stayed there.

| said: Just returned from our first trip to this hotel and had to immediately write to say how fantastic the hotel is.
Rooms are very spacious. Food quality and choice is fantastic. Staff are top class and attentive.
Location is good, but be aware it can be a struggle with pushchairs as there are quite a lot of steep hills in the locality, but taxis are dirt cheap.
We have stayed in some amazing hotels throughout the world, but this really is the best.
Also note there is a mini club for the kids which is not stated in the first choice brochure. Available every day for 3 -12 year olds. You have to stay with the little ones though. It is run by a lovely italian girl called louanna and she does a great job with the kids.
If you like a hotel which is refined, friendly, and still has something for the yound kids, then this is the place to go.
Loro parque is a must. We hired a private taxi to drive us the 1 1/2 hours there, wait 5 hours, and then return journey for 100 euros. Entry to loro parque is 30 euro for adults, kids under 6 are free.
Will be going back next year.

| said: Just back from a really good week at Hotel Playa La Arena. Our side sea view standard room was massive and well furnished. As well as a shower over the bath there was a second shower in the bathroom. BBC1 and BBC World as well as ITV1 and usual news and sports channels available on the bedroom TV.
The food was excellent with the meat consistently of the highest quality all week. No frozen meat is used as the Hotel has its own in-house butchers. Buffet choice always included vegetarian, fish and seafood as well as meats. Drinks moderately priced for a 4 star with 1 litre carafe of good local wine 8 euros (1/2 litre 4 euros). Staff speak good English and were always pleasant and helpful.
Both the Hotel and grounds were spotless. Ample sunbeds and shades at this time of year.
Take your own cards /games for post dinner amusement.
There is building work in the resort – we counted 14 cranes from our balcony - but we did not experience any noise problems.
