9.7 Asensio Travelled with family September 2025 The hotel's proximity to the beach... From the hotel itself, you can step onto the sand of the beach. Room cleanliness and the pool are very good.
La cercanía hotel con la playa... Desde mismo hotel sales a la misma arena de la playa. Limpieza abitacion y la piscina muy bien.

8 Alberto Travelled with family September 2025 The room is great, the bathroom is fantastic, and the terrace is nice. The pool area with the Water Slides is awesome, perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy.
La habitación estupenda, el baño genial y la terraza bien. La zona de piscinas con los toboganes una pasada, para disfrutar niños y adultos.
The air conditioning in the room was not working and even though we notified reception, they did not fix it during our stay and I missed a bit more variety in the buffet. The structure of the Water Slides (steps and handrails) could use a bit more maintenance.
El a.a. de la habitación no funcionaba y aunque avisamos a recepción, no lo solucionaron durante la estancia y he echado de menos un poco más de variedad en el buffet. La estructura de los toboganes (escalones y barandillas) les haría falta un poco más de mantenimiento.

8.3 Maria Travelled with family September 2025 The pool area with Water Slides is excellent, the children enjoy it a lot, the rooms are very comfortable and spacious, and the staff is very friendly (the reception girls are lovely).
La zona de piscinas con toboganes es excelente, los niñps disfrutan mucho, las habitaciones muy cómodas y amplias y el personal de lo más amable (las chicas de recepción son un encanto).
Only the food one. There are certain things that run out quickly and they don't restock, so you have to go early.
Solo el de la comida. Hay ciertas cosas que se terminan enseguida y no reponen, por tanto, hay que ir a primera hora.

9.4 Lucia Travelled with family September 2025 The hotel is in very good condition. Super spacious, clean, new, soundproof rooms. The staff is very friendly. The Animation staff is SPECTACULAR! Every day at all hours there are activities and it's rare that they repeat. And there are 3 different age groups! The slide pool: wonderful. 4 Water Slides, which are just enough to have variety and no queues. We have enjoyed it very much! Oh! Direct access to the beach. In 3 minutes you are in the sea. I would repeat without any doubt.
El hotel está en muy buen estado. Habitaciones super amplias, limpias, nuevas, insonorizadas. El personal muy amable. El personal de Animación EXPECTACULAR! Todos los días a todas horas hay actividades y es raro que se repitan. Y ora 3 grupos de edad diferentes!! La piscina de toboganes: maravillosa. 4 toboganes, que son los justos para ser variados y para que no hayan colas. Hemos disfrutado muchísimo! Ah! Acceso directo a la playa. En 3 minutos estás dentro del mar. Repetiría sin ninguna duda
To improve, if I may say something, the water pressure in the shower was very low, and the water temperature is not constant.
A mejorar, por decir algo, la presión del agua de la ducha que era muy poca y la temperatura del agua no es constante

10 Soraya Travelled with family September 2025 We loved it. Everything. The perfect location, with direct access to the beach. The service was wonderful, everyone, receptionists, waiters, the maitre d', pool waiters, entertainers, and of course lifeguards... The food is very tasty, with no details missing. They didn't repeat any of the cooked dishes during our 3 lunches, although the pizzas and grilled dishes were repeated. There were two types of fish dishes, two types of meat dishes, and two types of pizzas. They didn't repeat paella or pre-cooked dishes. However, the desserts were mostly the same every day, but you could choose. Breakfast always had the same options, and if you arrived late, bread was scarce, I couldn't even smell the seeded one. The rooms are great (mine was 325), if they are not soundproof, they are very close to it. It's true that a clothesline wouldn't hurt, even a foldable one. The facilities are very good, it's a shame the quiet pool is almost always in the shade... The Water Slides are great, very entertaining. The pool bar (green) is also very nice, the staff is very friendly. The other bar is also very good. The staff never stops, they are always there serving and cleaning as quickly as they can, everyone, but the dining room staff are like machines, it's incredible how fast they move. Everything was great.
Nos ha encantado. Todo. La ubicación ideal, tiene salida directa a la playa. El servicio y a maravilla, todos, recepcionistas, camareros, la.metre, los camareros de piscina, animadores y por supuesto socorristas... La comida está muy sabrosa, no faltaba detalle. Sin repetir las comida elaboradas ningún día, las pizzas y planchas si que se ha repetido, pero hay dos clases de pesado plancha, dos de carne plancha y dos de pizzas En los 3 almuerzos que he hecho ninguno han repetido paella, o platos ya cocinados. Lo que los postres si son mayormente los mismos todos los días. Pero se puede elegir. Los desayunos siempre pre hay lo mismo y si vas tarde el pan escasea, el de semilla no he podido ni olerlo. Las habitaciones son geniales ( 325 la Mía) si no son insonorizadas poco le falta para serlo. Es verdad que un tendedero no estaría de más, aunque sea plegable. Las instalaciones están muy bien, una pena la piscina del silencio, casi siempre en sombra... Los toboganes están muy bien, entretienen mucho. El bar de la piscina ( verde) muy bien también, el personal muy amable. El otro bar también muy bien. El personal no para quiero, está en siempre atendiendo y limpiando lo más rápido que pueden, todos, pero los del comedor son una máquina, es increíble a la velocidad a la que van. Genial todo.
The lack of civility of people, I know that the hotel or the hotel staff are not to blame for this. But they can come up with solutions, there is a sign saying that if the towels are left on the sunbed for more than 30 minutes without anyone, they will be removed. I understand that if the facilities are open, it is normal to spend an hour at the pool and they shouldn't touch your belongings, but if the pool opens at 10... How is it possible that by 8 all the sunbeds near the pool already have towels? And there the towels stay until 8 in the evening... And another thing, the capacity, if I, who have been there in September, have felt overwhelmed by the number of people in the facilities and the dining room... I don't want to imagine it in July and August...
El poco civismo de las personas, ya sé que de esto no tiene culpa el hotel o el personal del hotel. Pero si que pueden poner soluciones, hay un cartel que pone que si las toallas están en la tumbona más de 30 minutos sin nadie serán retiradas. Entiendo que si las instalaciones están abiertas pues es normal que se esté una hora en la piscina y no deben tocar tus permanencias, pero, si la piscina abre a las 10... ¿Cómo es posible que a las 8 ya tengan todas las tumbonas cerca de la piscina toallas? Y ahí se quedan las toallas hasta las 8 de la tarde... Y otra cosa el aforo, si yo que he estado en septiembre me he sentido agobiada por la cantidad de personas en las instalaciones y el comedor... No me quiero imaginar en julio y agosto...

10 Carol Travelled with family September 2025 "For children, it's amazing, they enjoy it a lot, I advise you to go all-inclusive, you don't need to go out, there are meals at all hours. And you can order drinks until 11 at night. They clean the rooms every day. The staff is very friendly. There are entertainers with games every hour, both for children and adults, and if you win the first place at night they give you a title, we will definitely repeat next year!"
Para los niños es una pasada, disfrutan mucho, os aconsejo q sea todo incluido, es q no necesitas salir, hay comidas a todas horas. Y puedes pedir bebidas asta las 11 de la noche. Todos los días limpian las habitaciones. El personal muy amable. Hay animadores con juegos cada hora, tanto para niños como adultos, y si quedas el primero x las noches te dan un titulo, es una pasada el año que viene repetimos seguro!!
