Cleanliness, towels were not changed every day. Dirty sheets. We warned that the TV was broken and they didn't come, overall this hotel is not up to par.

8.6 Sara Travelled with family August 2025 It has a very good location, the staff is very friendly, the community facilities are quite good.
Tiene muy buena ubicación el personal casi todo muy amable, las instalaciones comunitarias bastante bien
The cleaning schedule is a bit strange at seven in the evening when you are already in the room, I missed a broom or a sad cloth to sweep the little you cook and clean it. The gel, towels and toilet paper were very, very scarce.
El horario de la limpieza es un poco raro a las siete de la tarde que ya estás en la habitación, he hechado de menos una escoba o una triste bayeta para poder barrer lo poco que cocinas y limpiarlo. El gel toallas y papel higiénico muy muy escaso

3.3 Eva Maria Travelled with family August 2025 Rooms with jammed doors, fused lights, terrible cleanliness. No change of towels during the whole stay and no toilet paper. To top it off, the hairdryer came out on fire.... Very poor food and very little variety. No doubt it is expensive to go to this place...
Habitaciones donde las puertas se atascan, luces fundidas, pésima limpieza. No nos han hecho cambios de toallas en toda la estancia ni papel higiénico. Para colmo, el secador salió ardiendo... Comida muy pobre y poquísima variedad. Sin duda sale caro ir a este lugar...

7.1 Pedro Travelled with family August 2025 Quality for the price is very good. If you are looking for a hotel to sleep and go to the beach / pool highly recommended, if you are looking for luxury, forget it. You have to be aware of where you are going. It is a hotel that needs to be modernized and for that reason it is more economical. The rooms are large and the pool is quite good. Normal cleaning (every 2 days). Location: Next to the beach (if you want to save the climb up the hill to the hotel, you can enter through the car park lot). Car Park is easy to find in nearby streets.
Calidad precio está muy bien. Si buscas un hotel para dormir e ir a la playa/pisicina muy recomendado, si buscas lujos, olvídalo. Hay que ser conscientes a donde se vá. Es un hotel al que le falta modernizarse y que por ese motivo es mas económico. Las habitaciones son grandes y la piscina están bastante bien. Limpieza normal ( cada 2 dias). Ubicación: Al lado de la playa ( Si quieres ahorrarte subir la cuesta que lleva al hotel, puedes entrar por el parking) En calles cercanas es fácil encontrar aparcamiento.
The quality and variety of the food was quite average.
La calidad y variedad de la comida, bastante regular.

8.6 María Del Mar Travelled with  friends August 2025 It is very close to the beach and the promenade where you can find all kinds of restaurants on the beachfront.
Está muy cerca de la playa y del paseo donde puedes encontrar todo tipo de restaurantes en primera linea.
In the dining room of the two toasters and the two coffee makers only worked, that generates a wait.
En el comedor de los dos tostadores y las dos cafeteras solo ha funcionado,eso genera una espera.

6.6 Lorenzo Travelled with family August 2025 For a 4 star Aparthotel, in my humble opinion, it does not live up to that classification. The food buffet was scarce, repetitive, and of little variety. The attention of the staff was very uneven. Fabulous people and people who do not know how to serve the public. The check in, even with time, was delayed for more than an hour and a half. The nightly entertainment that they said there was, only Friday and Saturday. As a positive point, there was an incident with the air conditioning and it was resolved quickly. And to the request of anything, food, kitchenware, the staff was fast and attentive. The night staff, in particular a man, excellent in time and speed.
Para ser un Aparta Hotel de 4 Estrellas, en mi humilde opinión, No esta a la altura de esa clasificación. El buffet de comida era escaso, repetitivo, y de poca variedad. La atención del personal muy dispar. Gente fabulosa y gente que no sabe atender al publico. El cheking de entrada, aun con hora, se retaso mas de hora y media. La animación nocturna que decían había, solo viernes y sábado. Como punto positivo, hubo una incidencia con el aire acondicionado y se resolvió rápidamente. Y a la solicitud de cualquier cosa, comida, menaje, el personal era rápido y atento. El personal nocturno, en concreto un hombre, excelente en el rato y la rapidez.
The accommodation, as I have indicated, is not 4 stars. The facilities need to be updated. The pool and surrounding areas, in perfect condition. The rooms are fine, as well as the cleanliness and order. The buffet could be improved. The customers who come with BUSCOUNCHOLLO are the last to be assigned rooms. I requested on several occasions and well in advance, sea views, and there were only 4 apartments that did not have sea views, so I had to look at the mountain. Those who come with other platforms, indicated directly by a staff person, have priority.
El Alojamiento, como he indicado no es de 4 estrellas. La instalaciones deben actualizarse. La piscina y zonas aledañas, en perfecto estado. Las habitaciones bien, así como la limpieza y el orden. El buffet muy mejorable. Los clientes que venimos con BUSCOUNCHOLLO somos los últimos a la hora de asignación de habitaciones. Solicité en varias ocasiones y con suficiente antelación, vistas al mar, y solo había 4 apartamentos que NO tenían vistas al mar, Así que me toco mirar a la montaña. Los que vienen con otras plataformas, indicado directamente por una persona del personal, tienen prioridad.

5.9 Elsa Travelled with couple August 2025 The proximity to the beach
La cercanía a la playa
Very unhappy, we are sold that we have a terrace and the terrace was tiny in which there was an air conditioner that occupied the entire room, the other rooms also included sofa, which ours did not either, the kitchen had no scourer, no cloth, the extractor did not work, room without windows as seen in the photos, only the closure of the "terrace" every morning the fire alarms went off without anything happening, when we asked for a change of room because ours did not comply with what was sold in the hotel did not solve anything and from buscaundeal subsequently neither. Not a recommendable experience at all.
Muy descontentos, nos venden que tenemos terraza y la terraza era minúscula en la cual había un aire acondicionado que la ocupaba entera, las demás habitaciones también incluían sofá, cosa que la nuestra tampoco, la cocina no tenía ni estropajo, ni bayeta, el extractor no funcionaba, habitación sin ventanas como se ve en las fotos, solo el cierre de la “terraza” todas las mañanas han saltado las alarmas de incendios sin pasar nada, al pedir cambio de habitación ya que la nuestra no cumplía con lo vendido en el hotel no nos solucionaron nada y desde buscaunchollo posteriormente tampoco. Experiencia para nada recomendable.

6.7 Rocio Travelled with family August 2025
Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido la comida, muchas variedad. Y el animador de la piscina
Lo primero la atención al público deja mucho que desear, te tratan como si no estuvieras y ellos de vacaciones. Lo segundo la limpieza, dicen k limpian cada dos días y no es así...y cuando vinieron no llamaron a la puerta a las 4:15 de la tarde...con un bebe

2.6 Silvia Travelled with family August 2025 Yes, it should improve the cleanliness and maintenance in general, it is not a hotel that deserves 4 stars. Customer service should also improve, we arrived at 12 am and they gave us the rooms at 6 pm, we took a baby who had to eat his food and snacks cold because the microwave was broken. Basically we spent the whole first day at the reception desk complaining about room damages.
Si, debería mejorar la limpieza, y el mantenimiento en general, no es un hotel que merezca 4 estrellas. La atención al cliente también debería mejorar, llegamos a las 12 de la mañana y nos dieron las habitaciones a las 6 de la tarde, llevamos a un bebé que tuvo que comer su comida y meriendas fría porque el microondas estaba estropeado. Básicamente perdimos todo el primer día en recepción reclamando desperfectos de la habitación.

3.9 Alicia Travelled with couple August 2025 The hotel is more 2-3 stars than 4 stars. The reception staff is inexperienced and uneducated in customer service. The main areas without air conditioning, it is bad in the dining room. I would not recommend it.
El hotel es más de categoría 2-3 estrellas que de 4 estrellas. El personal de recepción sin experiencia y sin educación en la atención al público. Las zonas comunes sin aire acondicionado, se pasa mal en el comedor. No lo recomendaría.

Todo en general,la limpieza del hotel genial,personal amable y servicial,los desayunos muy completos,la ubicación del alojamiento estupenda cerca de todos los servicios hoteles,restaurantes y demás,sin duda volvería a repetir.
Quizás que la piscina no la cerrarán tan pronto al público,ya que a las 20;00h se cierra. Por lo demás genial.
