Just got back from Zoraida gardens 22/9/11 excellent weather, clean hotel , good food ,friendly staff , watch Peter do his pool aerobics its quite funny .

Having been renovated earlier in the year was modern looking (but by IKEA) and was therefore very bright and clean. Two double beds in the room, very comfortable.
Bath was very small and shower head area already shows signs of corosion.
Food was warm, not piping hot
Although a 4* hotel have stayed in better 3* ones.

This hotel was wonderful. It is where the Spanish bring their families and as a result makes for a really authentic holiday. Right on the beach separated only by a gorgeous massively long promenade. The pool and grass area are large and lush and we were so happy sunbathing the day away stopping only for a snack or a drink in one of the many bar areas. The restaurant was lovely and offered a great selection including a grill where other meat and fish are cooked freshly. We were all inclusive and even the wine was delicious, which sometimes can be an issue! Being off the foreign tourist trap too meant if you wanted to venture out you could still grab a beer/wine and tapas for 1.80e! The rooms were lovely, huge and comfy beds and thoroughly cleaned every day. ALL the staff were lovely. The entertainment was really cool and did just that, entertained us. Some typical Spanish stuff but also we had a small production of Joseph and each day the little children can rehearse for group parts in the evening shows. EVERTHING was super clean inside and outside the hotel. We were lucky enough to have visited during a local fiesta and had a weekend of music and Spanish friendlyness, have your phrasebook with you and you'll be fine!
I cannot recommend this place enough for couples, families or friends. Super value, super clean, super relaxing, super Spanish, super fun.
The sister hotel opposite,part of the complex is still really nice but is the cheaper one called the Zoraida Park. Even our travel agent didn't know the difference so be aware. As a guest at either you can use the bars and facilities of each hotel but can only eat all inc at your own restaurant. I cannot comment on their food or rooms.

I went with my children for a weeks holiday. The hotel was nice and the bar staff friendly. I decided to go from the hotel one day and by cigarettes. It was an hour round trip as there were no tobacconists near by. The hotel does not exchange money but there is a machine available to get money, and there is nowhere local to exchange your money either. The pool is great for families with children as it isnt very deep. The down side to the holiday was the beroom. I know you only sleep there but when youve paid £1700 i expected it to be a bit bigger. Four bed's in a row side by side with no walk way between them.
