Hotel Hesperia Bristol Playa

Chris Nash

Rooms are a little tired looking, but fully functional. We had all we needed for self catering. They also supplied liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo, kitchen washing up liquid, tea towel etc. Pool and pool bar were great. Main evening bar had a great entertainer some nights (Yanni). Reception well staffed. Great location away from the bustle but only a short walk into town.

I’ll be honest — after reading some of the negative reviews, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Bristol Hesperia Playa, but I was pleasantly surprised! For just £1040 for 2 adults and a baby for a week including flights, I really can’t complain. You absolutely get what you pay for, and as a budget-friendly base, it more than does the job. Yes, the hotel could use a bit of TLC — things like stained tiles, some rust, and flaking paint here and there — but overall, it’s clean and tidy. The bars were a real highlight — both well-stocked, fairly priced, and run by a genuinely friendly team. Big shoutout to Danny who kept winding me up all week — kept things fun and lighthearted! The evening entertainment in the main bar was also a great bonus to wind down after a day out. There’s a small on-site shop for essentials (and some really nice pastries and fresh bread), which came in handy. The pools were a bit cold, but honestly pretty standard compared to other places I’ve stayed on the island. Rooms aren’t serviced daily and you do need to ask for fresh towels, but for the price, that’s hardly a dealbreaker. All in all, if you’re after luxury, this might not be your spot — but if you’re looking for a budget-friendly base with good vibes and friendly staff, you’ll be more than happy here. I’d definitely stay again!

We stayed at the apartments in October half term 2024. Overall it was a pleasant stay - the rooms are perfectly adequate and clean and tidy. All staff are friendly and attentive. The facilities are good (well stocked supermarket, nice poolside bar). The location of the hotel is fine - it's about a 10 minute walk from the Main Street, but it's nice and quiet and there were no problems sleeping in the evenings. My only negative observation is that the pool area and some areas of the hotel are looking a little careworn - a lick of paint and some basic maintenance is badly needed and would improve the hotel significantly. Overall we had a pleasant stay and we thank you.

No maid service but we prefer that. If you want fresh towels daily, we just took our used towels down to reception for fresh ones, there was no hassle. We used to just take our empty beer cans and wine bottles downstairs to recycle bins whenever we left apartment. Plenty of bins around pool area which we used whenever we left our apartment.
