5th visit to the island and 3rd different place we have stopped in. Had 2 weeks all inclusive 20th Jan to 3rd Feb. We could not fault the place. Food, accommodation, fellow guests and staff were excellent. Smaller than other places we have visited and mainly older age group with very few children. Reception staff were very helpful and were really out to please. Will definitely go there again. Special mention to the Automation - Nelly. She was brilliant and we enjoyed Stretching/Pilates classes for an hour each day before hitting the beach. Dining room staff and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Couple of people complained about their food being cold. Ours was fine and there is a microwave if you really need it. Likewise, a couple of people said rooms near to the bar suffered from noise at night however we were on the opposite side of the pool and suffered no noise at all. Great choice of hot and cold food at all meals. Drinks in proper glasses! Hairdryer and kettle for hot drinks in our room which was kept very clean daily. Great holiday and brilliant place to stay.

We returned to the Arena 15th jan till 4th feb just gone,and had a brilliant time.However i must say we were very disapointed in the standard of food,its certainly gone down since june last year.The rooms are spotless and very comfortable,the entertainment isnt good ,nothing really for children more a couple hotel.The best bit are the staff,Alvaro (pool bar) and Andres restaurant,absoluteley brilliant, really cant do enough for you,not forgetting Nicolas and Lucas in fact all bar and restaurant staff,but you can tell there have been cut backs .They are extremely hard working and run off their feet.Dont know if id go back again if we did it would be to see our friends.IF you havent got great expectations on the food front you cant go wrong ,always salads and a very good breakfast.You get what you pay for.

we stayed for one week and although it wasn't the hotels fault, our first night was spent in the 3 star across the road thanks to our tour operator ice lolly they had over booked us, and as we where a large family group of all ages that was a disastrous start, and didn't think the receptionist at arena was at all helpful.
The next day we got into our superior room's which are a block of rooms right opposite the pool with a small front patio at the front, rooms where clean and modern decor, comfy beds, the only downfall was we occasionally saw in the bathroom alot if tiny ants but only appeared to be in bathroom.
food was average, had one theme night mid week, only 2 or 3 choices of main meals, and food was repeated alot as well, but they had these very tasty doughnut type of pastry's that where yummy.
friendly bar staff, we were all inclusive and burgers and cheese toasties at pool bar where always cooked fresh to order. pools were cold but bearable, the evening entertainment varied, there was a good snake charmer night, the little karaoke guy was fab and tried his hardest to entertain everyone. I feel that the hotel amenities were very shabby and dated which is why i feel it was more a 3 star than 4.

For what we paid for this 10 day all inclusive holiday at the Hotel Arena I would be hard pushed to find too many negatives.The breakfast is by far one of the best i have had at any hotel,lunch is a bit hit and miss but the pool bar serves snacks so you wont go hungry,evening meal is fine with lots of choices.The staff are excellent apart from the tall night porter who is rude and aggressive(I dont think he like to hear people laugh)The restaurant manager is top class and very helpfull.Nellie the young girl who is in charge of daytime entertainment is so sweet but she needs more resources.The evening entertainment is RUBBISH apart from Nellies Karoke nights,we went out most nights a cab into Corralego town is approx 3-4 euros,to stroll to the nearest bar takes about 10mins,or the main town about 15/20 mins.10 out of 10 for Alvaro who works the pool bar durring the day he is great and nothing is to much trouble for him.The room are cleaned every day.
I would warn any families with young children be carefull which beach you use most in the area are nudist and one is known as seedy beach which is adults only!!!!!!!
P.S. take a coat for evenings as it get quite chilly.
