“Not as good as the rave reviews”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Just back from a weeks holiday in this hotel but did not find the food any better than any 4 star hotel I have stayed in. The buffet food was not replenished quick enough causing long queues. Children were still running about on dancefloor at ten o'clock at night. On the plus side there was a cheeseboard every night, free pool towels, free water in fridge on arrival good idea if arriving late. The room was spacious and pool lovely.

Room Tip: Get poolside room

“Good holiday had by all”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

After all the excellent comments on trip advisor. We were so looking forward to our holiday. We were not disappointed. The rooms are of an average 4 star hotel, with a small bath and overhead shower. The rooms are cleaned daily and we also had fresh sheets and towels daily. There is a tv on the wall, but be warned you have to pay 10 euro deposit for the use of the remote control!! You will also be charged a daily rate of 2 euro for the use of the safety deposit box. We found the pool area very comfortable, however we did notice that the jacuzzi could do with a clean as there was a green ring around the water line. The staff in the restaurant appeared to be very busy and often worked long hours, however they always made time for you. The food is plentiful but can be very repetitive and in my opinion 3 star and not 4!!! This hotel caters for all nationalities. At the time we stayed there were a large party of Italian's who felt the need to be rather greedy with the fresh fruit and food in general. (there were many complaints).
The entertainment in an evening was very Billy butlins!!! and apart from the occasional one it was not worth staying in for. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and made numerous friends.

“Good.....but not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

people found this review helpful

We’ve just returned from a week at the Princesa Playa and on the whole we had a good holiday. The weather was unusually hot for September with just one day of rain.
We stayed in an apartment on a half board basis; the apartment was well equipped but was tired and not very clean at all. There were many maintenance/cleaning issues which I have brought up on my comment card.
The food was quite good but the layout of the food was a little odd. You had the hot buffet – meat, fish, chips, paella etc but then turn around and the first thing that you come to ice the ice cream station, the vegetables are there somewhere, again breads are on one side and the butter is with the salads.
They are clearly catering for the masses but you could always find something nice.
The breakfasts are good, but the cooked section is a little limited.
The drinks prices are competitive which is good as there isn’t anywhere in the immediate vicinity to go for a quick drink. The entertainment is a little amateur – the Freddy Mercury/Tina Turner impersonator was the worst act that I’ve seen in over 40 years!
The pools were great with plenty of space for all; we didn’t use the pool bar but it did seem very popular. Pool towels are available from reception. I wasn't asked to pay a deposit but they did make a note of my room. You just traded wet towels for dry - which for us was great as we only had the room serviced three times in a week so we constantly struggled with towels!
The hotel is a little out of the way but the bus stop is across the road and the bus service is excellent.
Cala’n Bosch is a beautiful little resort and was great for a late summer break. I’d go again but would try another, more central hotel.

Room Tip: Ask to have a garden/pool view on the ground floor. The top floor apartments on the road side aren...

“Very good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Princesa Playa for 2 weeks from 7 September 2011.the weather was brilliant and the guests were a mixture of Italian / British / Duthch mainly adults & families with small children as it was jjust after the school holidays. The hotel room 242 was very spacious and well equipped with double bed and a settee small round table with 2 leather bucket chairs and a small fridge ideal for cool drinks etc .On the patio a table & 2 chairs and clothes airer, overlooked the pool/garden areas. The room was cleaned every day to a high standard.
The rooms with odd numbers overlooked the road with not much view.
Loads of sunbeds around the pool and could be moved into the garden area under trees if required more space & shade
The only thing I would have liked was tea making facilities in the room.
2 problem areas-:
1) the shower in the bath was brilliant always hot & powerfull but had great difficulty in retaining the water in the bath, flooded bathroom several times.
2) The air condtioning was very efficient however be warned it will only work with the patio doors closed, we thought we were being clever on the first evening as the room was very warm went out on to the balcony and closed the door,(wrong) unable to get back in as the door is kept shut by a clip device. Had to call down to a guest in the room below to contact staff to let us back in.

Room Tip: choose 1st or 2nd floor rooms with even numbers 244 -200 or 144-100 all overlook pool or garden. low...
