6.9 Patricia Travelled with couple June 2025
Buffetten waren uitgebreid, show cooking had lekkere gerechten gemaakt door sympathieke koks. Mooie omgeving !
Heel gehorige kamers (kamer met tussendeur). Heel erg druk omwille van jeugdgroepen die doorheen het hele hotel ongecontroleerd hun gang gingen en vooral in het restaurant enorm veel lawaai en chaos veroorzaakten. Restaurant erg ongezellig... 'refter' zou een betere omschrijving zijn.
Good

6 José Antonio Travelled with family June 2025 The animation was definitely the best and we had a great time with them, they are super cool.
Lo mejor sin duda la animación y lo bien quién nos lo pasamos con ellos , son super guays
The worst by far and for my taste the buffet, I usually gain some weight when I go to hotels and I am almost 40 years old and I have been trying out different hotels for many years, the worst without a doubt, the lettuce and vegetables with bugs the rest of the food very bad, but in terms of advising future guests to bring a Tupperware with their own food.
Lo peor con diferencia y para mí gusto el buffet, suelo coger algo de peso cuando voy a hoteles y tengo casi 40 años y llevo muchos probando diferentes hoteles , el peor sin duda, la lechuga y verduras con bichos el resto de comida malísima , pero a nivel de aconsejar a futuros hospedados que os llevéis un tupper con vuestra propia comida ,

6.6 Jose Luis Travelled with family June 2025 "Unsatisfied with the service, for ten days prior I tried to contact the hotel by phone at all hours, but nobody ever answered. I wanted to inquire about the room situation, the pool and the dining area, as I was travelling with a person with reduced mobility. I tried contacting them before canceling the booking, and even afterwards I spoke with Hotel Central Alegria, who gave me a fax number. I requested information that I never received. Despite this, I traveled without knowing if the hotel was open or if it was a scam. It is incomprehensible that one cannot reach the hotel they are going to. Once there, after mentioning the issue, the Director Natalia told me that they were very busy. That is not my problem. She said they could change our room for a fee of 150 euros, 50 euros per night. We had to agree because I was not going to leave and, in the meantime, the deadline for canceling the booking passed. The room was a superior room with two beds, but I had booked a quadruple family room for 3 adults and 1 child, with a space for a sofa bed that was not the room I was given. She told me there were no rooms like the one I described. Later, she called to see if some issues had been fixed (low water pressure in the sink, AC not cooling, fridge not working). She said there were rooms like the one I described, but they were family rooms. I told her that's what I had booked, but she disagreed. I request an explanation from Busco un deal regarding this, as the image displayed when I made the booking showed two beds and sofa beds in a separate area. That's why I chose this option. I ask for a refund of the 150 euros paid at the hotel and an explanation regarding the room situation, as what I booked is completely different from what I found there. Also, the fact that a four-star hotel doesn't answer the phone is unacceptable, to say the least. I await your response."
Nada conforme con la atención desde diez días antes estuve intentando contactar por teléfono con el hotel llamando a todas horas , no se me cogió el teléfono nunca, yo quería consultar el tema habitaciones situación respectó piscina y comedor ya que iba persona con movilidad reducida, lo intenté antes de poder cancelar la reserva y después también hablé incluso con Central de Hoteles Alegria me dieron un fax y solicité información que no recibí aún así viaje no sabiendo si el hotel estaba abierto o era una estafa incomprensible que alguien no pueda comunicar al hotel al que va, una vez allí estaba abierto tras comentar el problema me comenta la Directora Natalia que es que tienen mucho trabajo? Ese no es mi problema me indica que nos pueden cambiar la habitación previó pago de 150 euros, 50 euros por noche , cosa que tuvimos que acceder porque no me iba a volver y entre tanto llamar se pasó la fecha de devolución de la reserva.La habitación era una superior de dos camas, a lo que yo le dije que había contratado una habitación cuadruple familiar 3 adultos y 1 niño que tenía un espacio con sofá cama que no era esa habitación a lo que me respondió que en el hotel no había habitaciones como la que yo describía , posteriormente me llamó para ver si se habían arreglado algunas deficiencias ( no salía agua apenas en lavabo, aire no enfriaba, nevera no enfriaba ni enfrió ) y me comentó que sí que había unas habitaciones como las que yo describía pero que eran familiares , yo le dije que eso es lo que yo había reservado y me contestó que no (Solicito por parte de Busco un Chollo una explicación a esto ya que la imagen que ponían cuando yo hice la reserva se correspondía con dos camas y sofás camas en un apartado), por eso contraté esta opción, por lo que solicito se me devuelvan los 150 euros pagados en el hotel, y me expliquen el tema de la habitación ya que no se parece en nada lo que yo contrate con lo que me encontré allí, así como el tema de que no te atiendan por teléfono un hotel de cuatro estrellas es inaudito por no decir otra cosa.Espero su respuesta.
Improve customer service, refrigerators do not cool, doors to the garden in the room were constantly getting stuck. Excessive air conditioning in the dining room.
Mejora servicio atención cliente, neveras no enfrían, puertas salida jardín en habitación se atascaban continuamente.aire acondicionado en comedor excesivo.
