I have just booked our holiday at Arina Sands for the 6th year. This is a fantastic hotel with wonderful amenities. Right on the beach, more than enough sun loungers on the beach and by the pool. The staff are so pleasant, exteremly obliging and friendly. There have been one or two changes over the years but nothing stands still.... More

Well, I stayed here in September for a week. This hotel is excellent for plane spotters because it is on the flight pass. If You are on the beach You have them a little bit from below but if You go to the garden so You have them from the side. It´s possible to photograph only landings on RWY 27.... More

Terrible experience. Five star*****? I would give it 2**. I stayed in July 2011. Tried to submit my review in several occasions but never went through.
