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
8.6 M L July 2025 All correct. Animation throughout the day, for kids and adults. Smooth operation of elevators, they have plenty. Professional staff.
Todo correcto. Animación durante todo el día, para peques y adultos. Fluidez en ascensores, tienen bastantes. Personal profesional.
Low-quality buffet, it doesn't change. I don't understand why the door is opposite from where we can enter, it doesn't make it easy to access the beach...
Buffet de baja calidad, no varía. No entiendo que tenga la puerta al contrario de donde podemos entrar, no facilita la salida a la playa…

9.4 Encarni Travelled with family July 2025 The pools, Water Slides, hot tub, children's instructors, cleanliness, it is worth noting the kindness of the vast majority of the workers.
Las piscinas,toboganes,el jacuzzi, los monitores infantiles, la limpieza,queda destacar la amabilidad de la gran mayoria de los trabajadores
The buffet remains the same.. it's okay but not very good, at the pool even though it's wonderful, there is no one ensuring that the rules are being followed: no smoking, tying up hair, not leaving empty sunbeds reserved...
El buffet no varia en absoluto..esta bien pero no esta muy bueno nada, en la piscina apesar de ser una maravilla no hay nadie haciendo que se respeten las normas de no se fuma en piscina, recojerse el pelo, no dejar las hamacas vacias pilladas...

6.1 María José July 2025 We especially enjoyed the pool bar for the attentive service of the waiters and the variety of snacks that were always available.
Hemos disfrutado sobretodo del bar de la piscina por la atención de los camareros y la variedad de snacks que no faltaron en ningún momento.
The kitchen leaves much to be desired for a four-star hotel. The pool closes at 7:30 p.m., perhaps a little early for the height of summer.
La cocina deja mucho que desear para ser un hotel de cuatro estrellas. La piscina cierra a las 19:30, quizás un poco pronto para estar en pleno verano.

6.9 Alberto Travelled with family July 2025 Well-located hotel, close to the sea and a short distance from everything you need to enjoy in Cabo de Gata.
Hotel bien ubicado, cerca del mar y a poco tiempo de todo lo que necesitas disfrutar en Cabo de Gata
I don't understand the 4 stars. The hotel doesn't have a gym, a 4-star hotel in Spain without a gym!? It's showing its age...the maintenance of the facilities hasn't been adequate. Cleaning good. Service good. Unsupervised car park, €10 per day when there is car park outside the hotel for free. Food decent.
No entiendo las 4*. El hotel no tiene gimnasio, un 4*en España sin gimnasio!? Tiene sus años y se nota…el mantenimiento de las instalaciones no ha sido el debido. Limpieza bien. Servicio bien. Parking sin vigilar, de pago 10€ por día cuando hay estacionamiento fuera del hotel a decenas. Comida correcta.

Lo mejor el equipo de animación Iván Juanma y Miguel y Lucía son una maravilla derrochan buen humor alegría y energía
Around the hotel there is not much interesting to see, there is little life on the promenade... And the nearby beach has a lot of stones...
Alrededor del hotel no hay mucho interesante que ver hay poca vida en el paseo marítimo... Y la playa que esta cerca tiene mucha piedra...

9.1 Agustín Travelled with family July 2025 There is animation at the hotel, near the beach and the promenade, well-maintained facilities.
Hay animación en el hotel, cerca de la playa y del paseo marítimo, instalaciones cuidadas
The check-in was very slow, waiting for almost an hour. To have the room cleaned, we had to inform reception half of the days.
El check in fue muy lento, esperando casi una hora. Para limpiar la habitación tuvimos que avisar a recepción la mitad de los días.

7.7 María Elena Travelled with family July 2025 The animation staff is awesome, they are very nice and super attentive, they put all their dedication and effort into their work, you can tell they love what they do. Miguel works hard from head to toe, making everyone participate in every activity, whether they are children or adults, and his colleagues are also a great team.
El personal de animación es la caña,son muy agradables y súper atentos le ponen a su trabajo toda la dedicación y empeño se nota que le encanta lo que hacen, Miguel es un currante de pies a cabeza hace que todo el mundo sea participe de cada actividad ya sea niños o adultos,también sus compañeros son un gran equipo.
The buffet could be improved, there are too many people and few staff, the lines to get food and drinks are long. The room cleaning could also be improved. Otherwise, we loved it.
El buffet creo que podría mejorar ,hay demasiada gente y poco personal,las colas para coger comida y bebida son largas.la limpieza de la habitación se puede mejorar también Por lo demás nos ha encantado.
