TripAdvisor Review
Not quite the experience l expected, thumbs down πŸ‘ŽπŸΏ

Not bad location , rooms are just average on the small side , atmosphere consider lively. Things are very expensive and very badly lable it feels like a bit of a con example: cheap price very large numbers which you can see very clearly , the more expensive staff lable which you could hardly see , when question the seller they then point to the higher price of the goods which is written in light pencil , be very careful when venture out and about , be ware how they scam you into buying their goods thinking is a good price. Inside the hotel is clean enough , but where the pool is and some of the toilets they are quite dirty. People here hardly speaks English when majority of the holiday makers are British. Food , salad is the same throughout the seven day , hot food even when me and my partner goes in at 6:30 when the doors open the food is cold or lukewarm, choices are more the same everyday , some of the fruits are not fresh at all , some you can taste foul out of date . This place needs an upgrade, not quite 4 star . Disappointed ☹️.

Not as advertised

After reading the previous reviews we were a bit hesitant on arrival but check in was quick and our room already ready,then it went rapidly down hill.Room from the 70s,a junior suite which wasn't the picture on the site,toilet seat broken,patio door handle broken,shower tray which leaked.Yes they were fixed whithin the hour but c'mon.Food is poor,cold,undercooked and very repetetive..unless you like pork.We were A/I so took full advantage of the great bar/room service,ice cold san mig,sparkling cava & large measures of cocktails.Best thing deffo the staff.How they cope with the volume of people i don't know.Overall 5/10..too many people,too noisy for us & not what i expect from a Sol hotel.

Basic 🏨

Food terrible. Half cooked and cold. Wouldn't recommend this at all. The worst food we have ever had in Spain or anywhere Rooms were ok but definitely not 4 star. Only 1 draught beer and it was awful. There wasn't even a great selection of bottled beers . I would not return to this hotel again Very disappointing 😞

Disappointing second stay...

Second year in a row we've visited, but don't think we'll come back due to a few disappointments. Arrived late (9:30pm) and our room wasn't set up. We had to go back to reception to ask for 3 x kids beds to be made up as no duvets, pillows or sheets in the room to make up the sofabed or pull out bed. Day 2 (today) it was raining heavily in the morning, however sunny by noon and the pool bar has remained closed all day. Pool area now fairly busy but having to go all the way to the lounge bar to get drinks. No cups whatsoever available in snack restaurant, so can't even use self service drinks station. One particular server in the main restaurant is also absolutely awful, completely ignored us for literally 20 minutes whilst we tried to order some drinks last night. Hopefully things improve the rest of the week, but we're not of to a great start.
Disappointing as we loved it here last year.
