3.3 María Travelled with couple August 2024

Si no te toca ubicación mirando hacia piscina, te topas con la calle que da a los vecinos, las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear, los separadores entre balcones muy bajos, poca intimidad, la comida del buffet muy repetitiva y sin mucha variedad… en fin…. Creo que no se merece las 4 * que tiene el hotel.

8 Fernando Travelled with friends June 2021 We enjoyed a few good days of beach and sightseeing in the area. The hotel staff solves everything in a moment and always with a smile, special mention for the cleaning service, I asked for a harder pillow and as there was not offered me to put another. It was said and done! The dining room staff and the manager are of exceptional quality. Everything is very well arranged and there is always something for everyone. Undoubtedly a very good option with an unparalleled value for money.

Hemos disfrutado de unos días muy buenos de playa y turismo por la zona. El personal del hotel te soluciona todo en un momento y siempre con una sonrisa, mención especial para el servicio de limpieza, pedí una almohada más dura y como no había me ofreció poner otra. Fue dicho y hecho!! El personal de comedor y el encargado son de una calidad excepcional. Todo está muy bien dispuesto y siempre hay de todo. Sin duda es una muy buena opción con una relación calidad precio sin igual

6.3 Sr_Sark Travelled with couple June 2021 The proximity to the beach. The room was large and had all the amenities including fridge, safe and TV. The staff was friendly and attentive. I asked for a second pillow and they provided it right away.

La proximidad a la playa. La habitación era grande y tenía todas las comodidades, incluida nevera, caja fuerte y televisión. El personal amable y atento. Pedí una segunda almohada y me la facilitaron enseguida.

The dining room is not worthy of 4*, there is little homemade, and a lot of fried and precooked food. In any case, the Covid protocol in the dining room was poor: you put on your mask when you get up from the table.... You serve yourself, touching the tongs, spoons or utensils that the person in front of you has used (and that the person behind you will use). In the face of intolerances, the tongs to take fish and the tongs to take meat or tomato are mixed. It would be better in Covid times to have a person serving at the user's request. Also for Covid issues, it would be good to extend shifts in the dining room and establish meal times, since everyone goes to eat at 14:00 and long lines are formed.

El comedor no es merecedor de 4*, hay poco casero, y mucho de fritos y precocinados. De todos modos destacar que el protocolo Covid en el comedor, era escaso: te pones la mascarilla cuando te levantas de la mesa... La comida te la sirves tu mismo, tocando las pinzas, cucharas o utensilios que ha utilizado el de delante (y que utilizará el de detrás). De cara a las intolerancias, se mezclan las pinzas para coger pescado y las pinzas para coger la carne o el tomate. Estaría mejor en tiempos de Covid, que una persona sirviera a petición del usuario. También por temas de Covid, le vendría bien ampliar turnos en el comedor y establecer horarios de comida, puesto que todo el mundo vamos a las 14 a comer y se forman largas colas.

8 Laura Arranz Travelled with family June 2021 The best thing about the hotel is the treatment of the staff, from the reception to the kitchen staff, always attentive and friendly. I do not know if it is the restaurant manager, I think his name is Pepe, he was unbeatable, and the guy who sells drinks was also great. You could tell that they were very happy to work, as were the staff who picked up the tables, cheerful and friendly. The food was good and the cooks were very concerned about gluten intolerant people. Another good thing was the price with Buscounchollo, very good. The small pool on the upper terrace is very original and very comfortable for sunbathing. It is located about 10 minutes walk from the Poniente beach, it is not a long walk.

Lo mejor del hotel es el trato del personal, desde la recepción hasta el personal de cocina, siempre atentos y amables. No se si es el encargado del restaurante, creo que su nombre es Pepe, fue inmejorable, y el chico que vende las bebidas también genial. Se notaba que trabajan muy contentos, también el personal que recoge las mesas, alegres y amables. La comida estaba bien y los cocineros muy preocupados por los intolerantes al gluten. Otra de las cosas buenas fue el precio con buscounchollo, muy bueno. La pequeña piscina de la terraza superior es algo muy original y muy comodo para tomar el sol. Está ubicado a unos 10 minutos andando de la playa de Poniente, no se hace largo el paseo.

Car Park on the street is impossible, you have to park in their car park lot if you want to be quiet, it costs 16 € per day. The bedrooms had not been cleaned properly, you could tell it had been closed for a long time because the hangers were dusty and the room was not very clean. The bathrooms although a bit dirty are not cleaned daily, I checked because some hair in the sink was left there the 4 days we were there.

El aparcamiento en la calle es imposible, hay que aparcar en su parking si quieres estar tranquilo, cuesta 16 € por día. Las habitaciones no habían sido limpiadas adecuadamente, se notaba que había estado mucho tiempo cerrado porque las perchas tenían mucho polvo y no estaba bien limpia la habitación. Los baños aunque estén un poco sucios no te los limpian a diario, yo lo comprobé porque algún pelo del lavabo se quedó allí los 4 días que estuvimos.
