7.7 Almudena Travelled with family July 2025 Proximity to the beach is appreciated as it is an aparthotel, the rooms were spacious and for us, travelling with a baby, having a kitchen was very convenient. The elevators were fast, which meant no waiting in line to use them. The pool was great as it had a shallow end everywhere. The food was of good quality and varied.
Cercanía a la playa, al ser aparta hotel se agradece porque las habitaciones eran grandes y nosotros que hemos ido con un bebé pues nos ha venido muy bien tener cocina, los ascensores eran rápidos lo que hacía que no hubiese colas para cogerlos, la piscina muy bien porque se da pie en cualquier sitio, la comida de buena calidad y variedad
The cleaning service is every two days, they didn't tell us at reception that you could go through the car park and thus one saves oneself from going up the huge hill to go down to the beach, and for a 4-star hotel it lacks entertainment.
El servicio de limpieza es cada dos días, no nos dijeron en recepción que podías pasar por el garaje y así se ahorra un@ de subir la cuesta enorme que hay para bajar a la playa y para ser un hotel de 4 estrellas le falta animación

6.1 Trinidad Travelled with couple July 2025 The breakfast buffet was very good.
El desayuno buffet muy bien.
The bathroom door wouldn't close, there were used sheets from previous guests inside the sofa bed, and the booking was for a double bed but they placed us in a room with 2 separate beds.
La puerta del baño no cerraba, había unas sábanas usadas de clientes anteriores dentro del sofá cama y en la reserva era cama de matrimonio y nos pusieron en habitación con 2 camas separadas.

4.7 Patricia July 2025 The service of this hotel needs to improve a lot on a professional level. It is not normal that being a 4-star hotel, room cleaning is done every other day. At least changing towels should be considered. I was given the room at 6 pm after arriving at 4:30 pm and check-in starting at 3 pm. The reception staff's attention is somewhat improvable, as soon as we arrived the receptionist was helping us with food in his mouth and a plate of food on the counter.
El servicio de este hotel tiene que mejorar mucho a nivel profesional. No es normal que siendo un hotel 4 estrellas la limpieza de las habitaciones sea un día sí y un día no. Al menos el cambio de toallas debería de contemplarse. Me dieron la habitacion a las 18 de la tarde habiendo llegado a las 16:30h y siendo el checking a partir de las 15h. La atención del personal de recepción algo mejorable, nada más llegar el chico de recepción atendiéndonos con comida en la boca y el plato de comida sobre el mostrador.

6 Elena Travelled with family July 2025 Hotel location. Spacious room and very comfortable beds. Very friendly cleaning staff.
Ubicación del hotel. Habitación amplia y camas muy cómodas. Personal de limpieza muy amable.
Very poorly organized staff, late check-in, very little variety in the meals but tasty, delay in supplying towels and cleaning rooms, long queues at the coffee machine because there is only one. It is not a 4-star hotel.
Personal muy mal organizado, check in tardío, muy poca variedad en las comidas pero rica, tardanza en el suministro de toallas y en la limpieza de habitaciones, largas colas en la máquina de café porque solo hay una. No es un 4 estrellas

1.7 Monica Travelled with  friends July 2025 The beach.
La playa.
Improve? Everything. It is a beach hotel, so they should clean the room and change the towels every day, not every two days, putting half of the towels with the excuse that the day before there was no laundry, replenish toilet paper that we had to go to the public because at the reception they only gave us a small and thin roll, the food was awful, scarce and bad, there is no staff, for dessert only watermelon and melon, the hotel has 3 stars too many, the clothesline is hanging, the pillows are horrible, the terrace furniture, not that it's old, it's old, sitting down we would get pieces of paint stuck to us, it was the worst experience of my life. I do not recommend it to anyone. Waiting all year for the holidays to come and what a bitterness.
Mejorar? Todo .Es un hotel de playa , por tanto deberían limpiar la habitación y cambiar las toallas todos los días , no cada dos días poniendo mitad de las toallas con la excusa que el día anterior no hubo lavandería , reponer papel higiénico que tuvimos que ir al público porque en recepción solo nos dieron un rollo pequeñito y delgadito,la comida fatal , poca y mala , personal no hay ,de postre solo sandía y melón , al hotel le sobra 3 estrellas, el tendedero descolgado , las almohadas horribles, el mobiliario de la terraza , no sea que es antiguo, es viejo ,a sentarnos se nos pegaba trozos de pintura , vamos la peor experiencia de mi vida.No lo recomiendo a nadie . esperando todo el año para que llegue las vacaciones y vaya amargura.

5.3 Sergio Travelled with family July 2025 The food is delicious but there is not much variety.
La comida rica pero poca variedad
They take a long time to check in, up to two hours to receive the room, and they are very bad at solving problems, taking almost 24 hours to change a remote control and unable to watch TV.
Tardan mucho en hacer el checkin asta dos horas para recibir la habitación y son muy malos resolviendo problemas casi 24 horas para cambiarnos un manda a distancia y sin poder ver la televisión.
