Our holiday was spoiled by German and Italian youngsters shouting and having no respect for the rest of the holiday makers during the night. At 11pm 12pm or 1am the lads and lasses were walking out of the hotel in droves bur not before we had to tolerate them playing their music loud or jumping up and down in the rooms shouting to each other on the landings. Then at 4.45am they would come back louder and some jumping in the pool which was right outside the Flacalco park apartments. We complained about the noise in our block but one morning a Queue formed of 20 people complaining about the noise from these louts. The staff tried their best to stop it and the night porter went around the complex shouting at the kids to stop the noise before they went out. I don’t think he was around when they came back though. Luckily I had ear plugs. Apparently we had arrived at the German equivalent of Magaluf.
We were given a one bedroom apartment for one night so we weren’t able to unpack as our suitcases would be picked up the next morning and put in our new room. The tour operator’s website didn’t explain what accommodation we were to have except a room with extra bed for child. It didn’t explain either that there are three hotel blocks in the complex and another block of apartments all sharing the two very small pools. As you enter the reception area it looks very new or refurbished and we were pleasantly surprised however the apartments where we slept the first night across the road (Flacalco Park) are very basic to say the least the TV in the apartment is all in German and it didn’t have a kettle. I sat down on the made up bed in the lounge and got covered in white bits from the sheets which were so threadbare I have better floor cloths. The rooms (Flacalco Garden) were even more basic no TV or fridge. No air conditioning or fans in either. The reception is part of Flacalco suites where the rooms have been upgraded. Another block of apartments belonging to the complex was across another road from Flacalco Park.
A fridge can be hired for 45 euros a week and a kettle too but the staff didn’t know what a kettle was?
The food wasn’t to bad breakfast was very basic and catered more for the other nationalities than English we had bacon and eggs twice in 10 days. The fruit juice was terribly sweet and the fresh fruit every morning was melon. Take your own tea bags as theirs don’t change colour. The hot chocolate is like mud.
The evening meal was made up of soup & salad. One choice of meat, fish, vegetable, potatoes (usually chips or round chips), one pasta or rice dish and two other dishes probably ham or something in breadcrumbs. Although not much choice it was well cooked.
Apart from 4 welsh people we were the only British people for the first two days and didn’t see another until about two days before leaving. The staff speak very good German but very little English. However the resort is picturesque but it is definitely catered for the Germans.
To be fair the staff are lovely and worked hard. I don’t think the waitress or the cleaning staff get a day off all through the season.
