  Big Thanks to Jorge – Made Our Holiday Better

  Lovely hotel, very clean and well looked after. The only negative for me was that I found the pillows a bit uncomfortable, though that’s down to personal preference. The staff were fantastic — a massive thanks to Jorge on the night shift who really helped us during our stay and made our holiday that bit better after such a difficult situation. The pool area was immaculate, with yoga sessions during the day, and the entertainment was held at night. There’s also a spa on site (we didn’t get round to using it this time). The restaurant food was lovely, though the selection could be a little wider. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

  Excellent Hotel.

  We had 14 nights here last two weeks in August. What a wonderful hotel. Very clean, lovely attentive staff. Food well presented and plenty of choice never boring. The restaurant is super with plenty of space and a great outside terrace. The pools are fantastic and peacefull, no poolside activities or music (suited this peaceful couple). What a wonderful change not to have televisions all over the hotel also no video machines or pool tables again (suited this peaceful couple). If a television is important on your holiday beware only a couple of English news channels, perhaps the hotel may address this before we return next August. Loved our stay and will revisit.

  Super hotel with couple of gripes. 4.5 out of 5.

  Where to start with this one. So close to getting it perfect. No issues at all with the basement rooms as per other reviews room was great and near the pool. Hotel has two pools at the main site and one near the sea we didn’t go to so can’t comment. Cleanliness is superb and staff lovely, clearly told to speak to guests which is fine. If you like a lay in though cleaners are around from 8am looking to crack on with guests rooms so make sure you pop your door hanger on. Two biggest gripes were pool bar shuts at 6 when load of guests still around looking for a relaxed beer maybe prior to dinner. Also no bar in the hotel other than this so its waiter service. If there’s an act on and you sit away from that area then no chance of a drink you have to go hunting for staff. Big shout out to Wilson at the pool bar area and Andrew on reception a credit to the hotel. Make sure you walk to La Caleta a small fishing village 20 mins up the coast gorgeous place. Would definitely recommend and go again so thumbs up from us.

  Unbelievable

  Wow wow wow......the most amazing time. Anca you make the world a better place. The Aloha infinity pool was like holiday therapy, with the best views on to the beach and your attention to detail was phenomenal. We are only mentioning this more, is because this is where we spent most of our time. All in all will be back, we where taught how to relax. We need more Anca's in the world. X
