Hi I am not going to go on about all the good and bad things about this hotel first of all I could not think of anything really nice to say other than the location (right next to the beach) the hotel is run by and dominated by the Spanish The bar staff were very very ignorant food was cold and discusting hotel needs a good revamp and updating in three words don't go there ! !!!!!!!!

We stayed here during half term week, with some trepidation having read previous reviews. In some ways the reviews are correct, but this is a Spanish Hotel in a Spanish Resort, which caters for Spaniards. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, although the bathrooms would benefit from a refit. The much criticised food was actually perfectly OK; it is aimed at the Spanish palate, which is perhaps not to everyone's taste. We found going early for dinner a good idea, as the restaurant was empty and all the food was hot. We also went late for breakfast, again to miss the crowds, but we then did find some of the dishes were not as hot as they might be. We found the staff quite pleasant, particularly those on reception and servicing the rooms, but as others have said many don't speak much English. This is definitely a hotel (and indeed resort) where being able to at least get by in Spanish is an advantage, and Brits expecting a 'UK in the sun' experience should perhaps consider going elsewhere. Away from the hotel we really liked the resort, and as most of our fellow holiday makers were elderly, our four year old son had many of the children's facilities to himself. We definitely recommend Boulevard, Mac Marleys, Delia's Bakery and Y Da Wakes, which are great British bars. Good Spanish places we visited were El Pirata (wicked patatas bravas!), Ayda, Koral Chiringuito and Nido Chiringuito (just behind the hotel).

...but could do with a lick of paint - and some major renovations.
The staff were, on the whole, helpful and friendly although few of them had more than a dozen words of English - fortunately I speak Spanish - and they had next to no tourist information.
The worst aspect was the food which was repetitive and not always as hot as it should be. The (self-service) restaurant was badly designed which meant there was a fight for the food as diners encountered pinch points as they attempted to move from one dish to another and the Spanish think nothing of elbowing people out of the way. The noise levels were awful too, since most of the guests shouted at each other. We quickly discovered that if one wanted hot food in a quiet setting, it was best to eat early - at 19:30 to 20:00. The Spanish prefer to eat late - after 21:00.
There is no parking at the hotel either.
The pools were great, even if one of them was used as a venue for (noisy) children's entertainment.
The rooms were comfortable and clean.
There was a surcharge for the use of a refrigerator.

Don't go to this hotel. I stayed there with my partner and we both said we would never go back to this hotel ever again. The food was rubbish. I expect my food to be of a warm nature not cold. The signs above the food telling you what it was, was always without fail in the wrong place. The waitresess apart from 1 or 2 never smiled once. The room was very dated and the bed i was sleeping in kept bagging on the floor everytime i sat on it. The entertainment was absolutley rubbish (they should take hint off hotels close by). The drinks were too expensive at the pool bar.
On a good note the Pool was excellent and the location of the hotel was good right on the beach front. Our holiday on a whole was really good, warm weather, nice beach.
