stayed here for christmas and new year, nice hotel rooms were basic but were clean, maid service every day including christmas day which was surprising. we were self catering but when we arrived the kitchen was not very well equipped no kettle, only one small pan but after asking at reception they were sent up to our room. the television only had one english channel which was cnn and there wasnt even the option to pay for extra channels. pool area was only small and not very busy and the pool was quite cold. we stayed on the top floor, floor 8 and on the 3rd day dicovered ther was a sun terrace on the roof so the next morning we were up early and went up and got our sunbeds only to find that it was used by nudists. the only downside was that it could be quite noisy at night because of the close proximity to the Kasbah Centre, but overall a pleasant stay.

Stayed self-catering - though not much equipment in the kitchen, I didn't intend to cook anyway!! Beds and apartment cleaned daily; towels changed regularly. Situation perfect - two minutes to sea front - another two to get down the steps to the beach! Overlooking the Kasbah and about a 15 - 20 minute walk to the Yumbo centre. Only found it noisy on Fri/Sat night/early hours of next morning when groups of Spanish youths were walking back from the late night clubs - quite amusing watching them!! Didn't use the restarant or bar areas - though wouldn't recommend the coffee by the pool - yuck! Will definately stay there again for the situation and large apartment with very large balcony. Only real warning for anyone with mobility difficulties - whilst there is a lovely promenade on the level, you can encounter steep hills and lots of steps as the resort is high above the beach but lots of great eating places and entertainment around.

Me & my boyfriend arrived at midday on our first day of our hols only to be told "WAIT ONE MINUTE" over & over again at reception & we're left wating 30 mins in the waiting area for manwell from fawlty towers who spoke little english & was quite abrupt to book us in,he did make up for his lack of customer service by managing to book us a sea view room! Room was clean but kitchen did not have enough utensils,there was one pan so could only cook one thing at a time & no sign of a toaster or grill so with us being self catering this didn't help much,but bed was changed & new towels were given daily!
Need earplugs to sleep at night as this is right in the centre & the matress ha you might as well sleep on the beach!!! ALL IN ALL DON'T BOTHER!!

We went there on a 2 week holiday,both of us are very young so we didn´t think we were going to be bothered by the clubs being so close by,,,
but when we arrived 4 in the night time into our room it was like we were in the club THE MUSIC was very loud. And when we woke up some cafes out in the C.C were playing some music loud.

The room was were really nice and clean , it was a big room with seperate kitchen and a large bathroom. The maid was very good, she clean every day and changed the sheets and gave us new towels.
Location was good if your going to club there it was next door and a great location for the beach it was just 5 mins away.
The pool was great very clean and good zone for sunbathing. And it is also possible to go to the roof and sunbathe, it has sunloungers and showers up there.
Overall even tough the clubs were always blasting it did not bother us that much and we always fell a sleep. And it great to have fresh towel everyday cause you´ll need it. So we really enjoyed our stay there.
But i would not say that Playa del Ingles is a family place.
