October Half Term Holidays

Christopher Peters

Excellent in all areas, the rooms were cleaned everyday other than Friday (day off) rooms had everything you need for a family holiday. The grounds and upkeep were absolutely stunning. All staff we encountered were friendly and pleasant, nothing too much of an ask. The food was excellent and full of variety. The pools, absolutely beautiful along with the water park. If you are looking for a fun packed, family hotel then look no further, this place ticks all the boxes.

Great family holiday. Not posh and fancy but everything you need for a good time. Rooms spacious but basic, good variety of meals every night, with theme nights. The flambe bananas were amazing. polite staff. Good location to different trips/experiences. Kids splash park is everything you need to keep the little ones entertained. Kids entertainment is repetitive but they enjoy it though. Some of the beds are ridiculously hard, which has meant I've had minimal sleep. We've had 1 cockroach in the room, but look at the environment we're in, it's to be expected. Overall if you're looking for a nice family get away, this is for you. If you want loads of entertainment and luxury, this isn't for you.

Just returned from 10 days here all inclusive. The location is lovely, 20 minutes walk from a small beach. There is also a volcano walk directly across the road. The AI food becomes very repetitive, for example, we had Chinese cuisine 3 evenings over 10 nights. Snack bar offers burgers, hot dogs, fries and salad daily. Self service hot drinks and soft and ice cream is convenient. The rooms are basic but all you need for a base. Cleaning is patchy. Several occasions had to ask for towels and bed sheets as they hadn't been left or the beds not fully made up. There was dust from the air con unit that stayed on the floor for days, and with no sweeping brush in the room was unable to clean small messes yourself. I was grateful for the wipes I'd packed with me. If WiFi isn't included with your booking I wouldn't recommend paying for access in your room, it's not great and you have to be sat close to the router. Didn't reach the bedroom or sofa beds. The hotel itself is good. You do get the typical over indulgent AI guests, and these seem to be the ones that leave the mess around the pool areas e.g plates and cups. The water park is great fun and a lovely addition for young and old. However, the floor around the slides and the steps are very slippery. The same goes for around the pool bar. Would I return. No, but we didn't have an awful time, we did enjoy it whilst there. Just a few things as mentioned that puts me off.

A very average 3 stars. It's not a bad place, just a bit run down. Situated just too far from town for a quick shop. Costs around 4-5 euros in a taxi. There is a small supermarket next door which has a good selection but quite expensive. The hotel grounds are nice but can get messy with paper cups and plates. The rooms are okay, however they're very used. The small coffee tables in the living room aren't very child friendly though, as a few heads were banged often. The cleaners don't take any care with anything left on the floor. It will be thrown into a corner, or brushed under the sofa/bed with the rest of the rubbish. Very dusty floors, the air con unit kept leaking water over the floor, there's no dedicated second bedroom (just a sofa bed). Most of the staff seem quite resentful of the customers. They're not very chatty or helpful. There are a few exceptions though. The food is definitely catered to a typical English audience. Fry up for breakfast, Burgers for lunch and Pizza for evening meal. The food is probably the most disappointing part of the hotel. The restaurant can get very full and very messy. The water park is separate to the hotel but is accessed from the hotel grounds. Towels tend to be placed on sun loungers from around 6am but still some choice from 0730. The kids pool is the best choice for smaller kids, or if you want it a bit quieter. All in all, it's disappointing for the money paid. There are just too many people for the size of the site. Very popular with the 'Stone Island Crew'

Food quite good. But when it comes to the cleanliness of the facility, there is one big but... for me this facility should not have 4 stars, but 3. The standard in the rooms is tragic. The rooms are old. Few attractions for children. I do not recommend and I would definitely not choose this facility again. The only plus is that it is close to go for a walk to Marina Rubicon.

Jordan Mccabe

Stayed at Sol Lanzarote for a week. The good parts included a modern room, cleaned every day, 3 pools which were not too busy apart from the heated pool which is full of kids most of the day. I thought the food was decent and you do get a good selection everyday including meats, cheese, bread, fruits and vegetables, and desserts. The beer and wine is on tap so it's very easy to get yourself a drink whenever you feel like it. The hotel has very good beach access which is literally only a 30 second walk away from one of the pools. The only negatives I would say are the music is very loud and lively all day from about 10:00 am to about 22:30 pm at night. There are also a lot of children there who are quite loud as well. Overall it's a good hotel but I personally think it's more suited for a family with children than a quiet holiday getaway for a couple.

Paul Hughes

So clean and tidy with great attention to detail. All inclusive so the food is what you would expect. However the drinks are absolutely bob on with proper sized wine glasses and a decent lager on tap. We will definitely be returning.

Eileen Boyle

We booked last minute for a 4 night break. This place didnt disappoint. The people were amazing. The food in the small cafe/restaurant was fab. The rooms were spotless. Only downside was no air conditioning. Would.come here in cooler times but not peak season. The pool area was so well maintained by lovely men. Immaculate.

AJ H

I'm just coming to the end of my 1 week vacation at Sol Lanzarote and I'm super sad to be leaving. This is my 3rd time staying here at it never disappoints. The staff are lovely, the rooms are really nice and the food is good too. Perfect location in a quieter part of the island. Not too far from PDC if you fancy a bit of wildness. I'm super impressed with the free booze that's on offer. All inclusive covers beers, wine, sangria and most spirits and also cocktails. Thanks for a wonderful time again. I'll be looking forward to hopefully returning again in the future.

Gavin Conway

For a 4 star hotel the rooms are incredibly basic, no gown, slippers and an empty fridge. Not child friendly as light controls are 2 feet from the floor. The entertainment is incredibly loud and intrusive throughout the resort. We got our room changed and instead had the faint smell of cat faeces wafting in from the various cats that reside at the resort. The food is good but after a couple of days all tastes the same with inadequate seasoning or improper cooking. The location is good for the breach but otherwise I'd opt for any other hotel and won't be staying here again.

Firstly, me and my family were skeptical of coming to this hotel because of the reviews.. There were many negative comments and feedback given from their personal experiences... After me and my family went, I can proudly say this was a surreal experience! The staff were excellent and so was the catering. I asked about it and they told me there was new management fro the start of December 2024 and I can already see the improvements they have made from their service quality to their customer service.. The food was excellent, I had younger children with me and we all ate well and enjoyed the meals. The water park was excellent and an amazing activity to do. They went out of their way to make sure we were safe all the time, both inside and outside of the hotel. I recommend everyone to go here at least once!! Beautiful area, family inclusive, safe!! Thank you to everyone who made our trip memorable

khadija ahmed

amazing hotel!! staff and entertainment were all fab!! the pool was amazing and the room service was excellent! the food was very nice and every meal was inclusive for our large family! any requests we had were immediately seen to. EVERYONE needs to go here at least once for a luxurious experience!! thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of us.. couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Hawaii Caesar Palace in Egypt offers an unparalleled luxury experience, blending stunning beachfront views with top-tier amenities. The resort features beautifully designed rooms, exceptional service, and a range of dining options that cater to every palate. Guests can enjoy the crystal-clear waters, world-class spa, and a variety of recreational activities, all while soaking in the warm Egyptian sun. Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, the Hawaii Caesar Palace delivers an unforgettable getaway with a touch of elegance and comfort.

Martin Dickson

Wouldn't recommend, not clean, some staff extremely rude, one staff member serving drinks at dinner was lovely, Hassan. Most of the food I wouldn't eat, and I've travelled across the world, but just seemed unhygienic We weren't meant to be staying here but on arrival in Egypt we were told our hotel was fully booked and were put in here, but asked to be moved everyday, with no avail Described as "5*" I would struggle to suggest that it is even 3* Photo is one of the chairs in a lobby area🙃

Rachel Harriss

BAD AVOID!!!!!!!! We as a family of 4 travelled thinking the children would love it, wow I was wrong! The only good thing about this place is the slides and pools.. well that's if the locals aren't in them and pushing you around. We arrived at 8pm, waited around and had to sign things, I thought this was strange but apparently normal. Anyway, we were hungry and told to go down after checking in. Only to get there and everything was closed. Ended up down the road at a place called lucky, wouldn't go there either. Anyway, the next morning we woke up itchy, thought it was mosquitoes.. NOPE! BED BUGS!!!! How disgusting is that!? We told the management and they advised us it was crumbs.. ok? Not sure how that works. We had someone spray the room and went out for breakfast.. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THAT WAS. All locals there, they pile the plates up high, high with tons of food and it's so wrong. They push you out the way and look down at you. They are honestly so rude, you feel horrible. There was no food left, had to queue for miles because they are like starving?! This place doesn't offer cocktails, they don't like you drinking here. They only have Pepsi or 7UP as options !! The slides are good but you will be pushed out the way getting up by the locals. So be careful with your children. If you are British, you are NOT welcome. We left early, found a nice hotel called neverland up the road and we are here now and happy! We have cream for our bed bug bites. The bed bugs are VERY bad, apparently the locals bring them in and then they don't change them!! We have photos of these bed bugs too. We will be taking this matter to health and safety now. Thank god we are out of this place, I advise anyone NOT to visit! The 5 star reviews are fake and from the staff, you can see this by their names.

I spend 9 days with my family on all inclusive. The hotel was very nice and spacious. The food was good and the service was also very nice. The choice of food and drinks was impeccable. A big plus is the sunbeds on the beach and a small bar, a very nice way to spend time. The downside is that most of the activities were conducted in French and not always translated. The hotel is generally worth recommending .End of season lots off sale and much more quiet. Weather 23 degrees and not much sun in that part of Create.

Michal Lushi

We had an exceptional stay at this lovely hotel! The dining options were impressively diverse, featuring a wide variety of meats, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits, desserts, and delicious ice cream. The restaurant, with its cozy atmosphere and stunning sea view, was a highlight of our experience. Access to the beach is very convenient, The beach area was pleasant, with sun-beds available. The hotel maintained two beautiful pools, both featuring a lively atmosphere with music and breathtaking views. There’s also a designated shallow area for children, along with a gaming room to keep them entertained. The staff was friendly and engaging, providing excellent service - multilingual, speaking German, French, and English. They were incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and eager to assist in any way. Overall, we had an amazing time and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic all-inclusive experience!

I was with my partner on a week's holiday, I definitely do not recommend this hotel if someone suffers from asthma. The entire hotel smells incredibly of chlorine, which made it hard to get out of bed in the morning plus a sore throat. I will also add that people using wheelchairs or the physically disabled will have problems getting to the hotel or moving around on its premises. Apart from that, the hotel is really nice, nice views and we got a nice room (for an additional fee of course). Hotel service at a high level so there was nothing to find fault with. Animation only in French so if someone wants to go to this hotel with children, please keep that in mind. The drinks at the bar were very weak, the wine from the restaurant was much stronger, strange. Souvenir shops at every turn are a big plus, two supermarkets right next to the hotel are also a plus. The sea is about 200 meters from the hotel, so very close. Greetings to the entire hotel staff and management! 🩵

Simone Klyeisen

It was a perfect stay ! Absolutely fantastic staff, makes every single wish become reality. Service was really great in every single language. Food was really amazing, they offered a big selection of traditional dishes and absolute tasty classics. The rooms were cleaned near to perfection. Every day off our stay. Absolute 10/10, would totally recommend to everyone.

Nella Pompová

We were at Mitsis Bali Paradise for a week, from Sunday to Sunday. Everything was fine. The food was good and very tasty. The only thing that did not suit us very well was our room, it was not spacious enough for us. I want to praise the hotel staff, at the reception, at the bar, at the food, everyone was pleasant and helpful. Near the reception you will also find a shop where you can buy souvenirs or something you forgot to take with you.

Nicola Washaya

It's a lovely hotel but could do with improvements here and there. The hotel needs updating, only minor things but they could make such a difference. There isn't a lot to do and not enough information regarding excursions. The breakfast menu could do with a little boost. The dining area is a bit dull as well. Maybe soft music in the background would help and have pictures that are lively on the walls. The main pool also could do with music in the background at all times. Then for those that want peace and quiet, the middle pool and the kids pool could do with no music. An activities coordinator would be beneficial for the hotel as well. There were a few games at the main pool but they were not lively enough. The snooker/pool tables are randomly at the end of this open space. Not very inviting and there are no instructions as to how you play. A notice on the wall telling guests what is needed would be nice. This hotel has so much potential and just needs the right people with the right attitude to make it an epic hotel.

Before choosing this hotel, I read a lot of reviews, both positive and negative. Many of the same issues and highlights kept coming up, so I’d like to share my family’s own experience at this hotel. I'll start with the positive aspects and then move to those that were less pleasant. So: 5/5 ***** - Service: The staff was extremely friendly, always kind, and ready to assist. We felt genuinely welcomed by every member of the team. 4.5/5 ****½ - Entertainment Team: They brought incredible energy and joy. My kids loved them, and their activities made a big difference in our stay. 4/5 **** - Rooms: Although quite old-fashioned, the rooms were very clean, and sometimes the staff would even surprise the kids with little animals made from towels. On the downside, we only had two power outlets in our room, which felt inadequate given today’s technological needs. A big plus, though, for the air conditioning, which worked seamlessly. However, we did miss having a light on the balcony. 3/5 *** - Hotel Ambience: The hotel itself has an old-school vibe. Built in 2007, it doesn’t appear to have changed much since. There are a lot of empty spaces, which, at times, made walking down the corridors feel a bit eerie, especially with the lack of clear signage. We also noticed quite a few maintenance issues, like hanging lightbulbs, and there wasn’t always timely upkeep from the staff. 3/5 *** - Pools: The pools are beautiful—two large ones in total—but only one was accessible, and it was located far from the snack bar. The other pool, closer to the bar, was unfortunately closed. The open one was quite a walk away and quite cold, so we had to make compromises. 3/5 *** - Snack Bar: It was closed more often than open, and when it was open, it mostly served lunch food, which left us with limited options between meals. 3/5 *** - Drinks: Drinks quality varied significantly. If you tipped, you’d get a decent drink, but overall, it was hit or miss. The drinks were inconsistently prepared, often weak, and didn’t meet the standard expected for a four-star hotel. 2/5 ** - Food: The biggest disappointment was the food. It was practically the same every day for seven days. By the second breakfast, I already knew what would be served. Lunch was underwhelming, and while there were occasional variations at dinner, presentation and quality didn’t quite hit the mark. Limited cheese options (one type, for example) and drinks from the dispensers tasted off and would often run out, even early in service. Morning coffee tasted generic, and tea and coffee were not available during lunch or dinner, except occasionally at night. For a four-star hotel, it was quite underwhelming. I'd also like to mention that the food often lacked clear labeling, with sauces or other condiments left unidentified. 2/5 ** - Games Room: One of the key criteria for choosing this hotel was having an enjoyable games room where I could spend time with my children. Unfortunately, this was a letdown. Of the three pool tables, only one was working and poorly lit. The air hockey puck was too damaged to use, and most of the other machines were unplugged. The ping-pong table was usable but in an extremely stuffy room. One final point is that there was only one lifeguard across all pools, often on his phone. Overall: We spent seven days at this hotel, actively trying to focus on the positive, and we managed to find it. We got away from our daily stresses and soaked in some breathtaking views. The beach was stunning—probably the best I’ve ever been to. We ate, drank, and made memories. In the end, we enjoyed our break and will remember this holiday.

A dream vacation. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating, excellent food great variety. The beach is accessible via stairs but there are handrails to hold on to. The beach is so beautiful, lots of space, which makes the walk down the stairs definitely worth it. Rooms are outdated but very clean , like the entire rest of the place, bathrooms, pool , restaurant etc . Highly recommend if you don't mind the outdated rooms, I sure wasn't in my room enough to have this be an issue. Will definitely come back.

Hranush Manukyan

Great place, nice vacation overall. The hotel is a bit old, but fine in compromise to the scene and place and all the efforts and friendliness of the personnel. Everyday cleaning the rooms, very very accurately. Everyday new towels. Food could be a bit more diverse. For a long staying can feel the same everyday. Downsides: Too many people smoking at outside cafe/bar area...felt disgusting for a non-smoker/allergic person... And there should also be a kind of a note that the beach is CO(clothing-optional) especially for families travelling with kids.

Allan Andreasen

We had a generally good experience during our stay, but there were some areas where we feel the hotel could improve. Service and Rooms The service was good, and we were greeted by friendly staff. The rooms were cleaned daily, and we have no complaints in that regard. Unfortunately, we experienced a lack of maintenance, which resulted in us having to change rooms. This meant we lost the sea view that we had paid extra for, which was disappointing. Food and Beverages The food was tasty and well-prepared, but we found that the beverages were often not refilled, making it difficult for us to get what we wanted. Cleanliness of the Area While the rooms were cleaned daily, we were surprised to see that the outdoor area was not cleaned every day. This is something we did not expect from a hotel that officially has 4 stars. Location The hotel’s location is perfect in terms of the beach and the view from some rooms. However, it is necessary to take the bus if you want to go anywhere. We recommend renting a car, as it allows for more exploration of Fuerteventura, which has many wonderful sights to offer. Conclusion Overall, we had a good stay, but we expected more from a 4-star hotel. In our opinion, it does not live up to the 4 stars it has received.

Alba García Baison

Amazing Experience – Highly Recommended The overall atmosphere of this hotel is simply outstanding. Everything about it feels warm and welcoming, and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay special. The Christmas decorations are incredibly cozy, creating a festive and relaxing environment. I celebrated my birthday during my stay, and I was delighted to find a beautiful cake waiting for me in my room – such a thoughtful and lovely gesture! The value for money here is unbeatable, and I can’t praise the team enough for their exceptional service. A special shout-out to Ahmed Abdelnaby at the reception, who was incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were taken care of, including helping us with our flights. He always did it with a smile, which truly made a difference. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back in the future!

Kimberley Gray

If you like a family-run hotel, supporting local people then this is it. The staff work tirelessly to make your stay enjoyable. The animation team has great energy and the chefs are very talented, particular to note are the desserts and butternut squash art. The rooms are 3 star, clean, tidy and functional. The communal areas are really well maintained, and spotless. I work in hospitality and I really can’t fault the staff. They are attentive and have a great sense of humour. I think they probably need it at times! The hotel offers a spa, shop, beauty salon, taxi service, live entertainment and a regular shuttle service to the beach and to SOHO Square. We recommend El Fanah beach for snorkelling and Old Sharm for an ultra sensory shopping experience. There is also the opportunity to book diving and excursions from the hotel. We did the White Island boat trip which included lunch and a couple of excellent diving and snorkelling stops. We felt very rested on our holiday, and didn’t want to come home. Thank you Dive Inn and team.

stasuk spartaque

The hotel unfortunately left a very negative impression. The administration is completely incompetent; there is always chaos at the reception, and on the very first day of my stay, I was given the wrong room. It feels like the guests do not matter to them at all. However, I want to highlight that the housekeeping staff and the kitchen crew are very diligent and polite. They do everything possible to improve the situation, but unfortunately, their efforts do not make up for the management's shortcomings.

Tales of Odyssey

Had a lovely stay at Dive Inn resort! Staying here exceeded my expectations and the reason for this is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and very hardworking. The welcoming feeling they gave me, made me feel right at home upon arrival. Had some really nice evenings relaxing at the bar and the bar team was amazing. Thank you Amr for making sure my glass was always full of beer, haha. They are funny but also make sure that you are okay throughout the evening. Costa went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and that everything was good in my room! And Said the lifeguard at the pool is very funny. The room was comfortable, the food was good and I liked the location because it was close to the dive center I was diving with, but honestly the staff are what make this place good. They create a lovely atmosphere and for this reason I will definitely come back here if I visit Sharm el-Sheikh again! Thanks guys 😊

I have stayed here on many occasions with my wife, friends and solo. As in life you are treated as you treat others, politeness costs nothing. You get what you pay for, but in the case of Dive inn, you get far more. But if you want luxury then pay luxury prices. A good selection of food including, breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with the BBQ’s and fresh made pizzas 🍕 The kitchen staff along with restaurant staff are attentive dedicated and friendly with a good sense of humour, (I doubt I would be if I worked those hours) The rooms fulfil one’s needs, we only sleep in them, all balconies overlooking the pool a very nice clean well maintained pool. The front of house have a great deal to deal with and do their upmost to accommodate everyone’s requirements and needs. As for the bar staff …. Well, what can one say.. absolute heroes, they smile in the face of adversity. Their dedication and service is absolutely fantastic well done all you guys. Animation team, even though I don’t participate, are a great bunch of lads and ladies, boys and girls, also a dedicated team 🙏 Not to mention Costa👍 The pool attendants and lifeguards are absolutely fantastic, helpful and so friendly. I will continue to return year in year out, it’s almost like a second home! Thank you. ☺️

Mum and I went on holiday here 11-18 October 2024 3 star hotel. Staff polite friendly and helpful Rooms needed air conditioning not just a unit which was very noisy only pool view get the units. Or you can pay 5 euro a day for it. Pool bar was great serves food and you can have any drinks after 11pm you pay shuts at 12am. Entertainment was wonderful in evening and in day also entertainment was great for all. Buffet food in dinning room A lot to chose from sometime it is cold but what do expect when it's a heated unit. Chefs keep checking to replace food quickly Tables get cleaned also quickly

Ste Wilson

My partner and I have just returned from a delightful week-long holiday. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and while the rooms were basic, they met our expectations for the price. The pool area was well-maintained and tidy, with the only minor issue being the inconsiderate behavior of some guests who monopolized sunbeds for extended periods and not using them. We would appreciate it if measures could and should be taken to address this issue in the future. The bar staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the food hall offered a wide variety of fresh food options, catering even to individuals with particular dietary preferences. This was my second visit to the hotel, and I would highly recommend it and consider returning for a third time in the future.

It is ok staying here for some nights. The rooms are good, the pool is pretty big and there is also a whirlpool over the standard pool. Breakfast is pretty identical every day, lunch and dinner vary. There is nothing special around the hotel to see but there is a shuttle service to the Faro of Maspalomas a couple times per day with which the beach and the dunes can be visited.

Jayson Carroll

We are currently on our 5th night. From the very start at check in (we were 3 hours early and they still checked us straight into our room) the holiday has been amazing. Nearly every single drink at the bar is included in the all inclusive, the food selection and quality is amazing for an all inclusive. Our room while it only has a ceiling fan was cool enough to sleep in if you keep the patio doors open and curtains closed 24/7 this is with 29c days. Information given at reception on bus times, prices and what buses to catch and where to change for a trip to the aquarium was so helpful. Lovely pool and getting a deck chair isn't difficult at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. Most staff speak great English. We will definitely be back!

Michael Parr

The hotel is inland, but a free shuttle is provided for the beach. Staff are friendly and hardworking. I do, however, have two complaints. Jet2 advertise the hotel as a family destination yet there is no gate on the children's pool area which would add a level of added security. We are travelling with 2 toddlers, yet we have been allocated rooms over the smoking area and the pool bar where nightly very loud entertainment does not finish until 11pm. It can be heard even with the balcony doors closed, which also makes sleep difficult as the air-conditioning unit is portable and needs to be vented through the open door! There is a ceiling fan, but this just circulates hot air. We have twice requested quieter family rooms only to be told the hotel is full and there are none available. This is despite an email request before we arrived, and there have been two changeover days during our stay so far. The hotel does not appear to be full, but maybe there are a lot of rooms with single occupancy. I therefore could not recommend this hotel as a destination for families with young children.

Joseph “Joe” Proud

Love this place. Been here 3+years. Rooms are gorgeous, after going through a renovation. Great selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you go all inclusive....drinks all day....sat by the pool, sun shining, friendly staff, like-minded holidaymakers. Highly recommended

Richard Smith

After reading all the negative reviews we went with an open mind to find out for ourselves. We arrived around 8.30pm for 10 nights, and check in was easy. The reception staff were all very helpful and polite. There was a €20 deposit for the room refunded on departure. We were in room 910 which hasn't been refurbished yet but we had a sea view and the room is huge, cleaned well by the army of cleaners when it was our turn. Yes, the room does need a refurb, like cock-eyed sockets, stiff front door, the odd cracked tiles. The TV has a coin meter on it but we never used it as we had a radio when sat on the balcony. BUT, you have to remember this hotel doesn't sell itself as anything but a 2 star hotel and it was clean and everything worked as it should. The food was average to very good. In our opinion the breakfast was good, having bacon every 2 days I think it was, but english sausages and an array of other foods to choose from. The lunches beat the tea time food hands down. For lunch there was steak and chips one day for example and we tried to make a point of going for lunch when we were there. Ice cream was always available with 3 or 4 flavours on offer. The tea time selection wasn't brilliant but we always found something to eat and never went hungry. I believe this to be because a lot of people tend to go out for a meal etc on an evening due to there being no entertainment on. Bars and restaurants were nearby so only a short walk away. The bus station is 5 minutes walk away and we highly recommend using them as they are cheap as chips. The pool area was great, as we would walk out on a morning when we returned there was always sunbeds to be had. It is a great sun trap. The bar is close to the pool so not far to go for refreshments and all the barmen and women work tirelessly to keep everyone happy. In summary if you want 5 star don't book, but if you want a great value all inclusive holiday in a budget hotel that makes a great base to explore the island then this is for you, yes there are niggles, but it is an older hotel. The staff in this hotel will in my opinion bend over backwards for the guests. Just treat them as you expect to be treated. The whole experience was great for me and my wife and we will definitely be returning.

We are a couple but I booked a Deluxe apartment for 3 people in order to have a separate bedroom. We get a one-room apartment with 3 beds and the kitchen in the room. The apartment is on the highway side so very noisy, I don't sleep well at night. A friend booked the same hotel for him alone, he got an apartment with a separate bedroom, in a quiet location. It's incomprehensible. We asked to change apartment. EDIT. After a week and repeated requests, we were finally able to change apartments by paying an extra €30. The new apartment was much better but it was a waste of time, energy and money that ruined part of the vacation.

Bradley morton

The hotel is low budget and you get what you pay for, in need of some TLC and renovating but it's a nice building and the views from top are amazing. Our room was alright but again bog standard. Shops are nearby and lots of places to eat and the swimming pool was decent. The beach isn't far away and the bus station isn't neither to get around to different places! Overall an average place and nice staff..

Adam Prettyjohns

I stayed at the Corona Roja Hotel about ten years ago, and back then, it had a reputation for being cheap but very dated. I didn’t expect much this time either, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much has changed. The hotel is clearly being modernised, and my overall experience was great, especially for the price. It’s still affordable, but now it feels like it’s catching up with the times. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Reception is staffed 24/7, and the younger lady who checked me in on the 11th floor was particularly welcoming. The hotel itself is a tall building with about 140 rooms. The reception area is a bit random in design, with a mix of shops and stores, but everything was clean and tidy. There’s also a supermarket and a small pharmacy attached to the hotel, which is super handy. The deluxe studio room I stayed in was one of the newly refurbished ones, and it was fantastic. The beds were really comfy, the bathroom was spacious and modern with stylish lighting, and the kitchen was bright and functional. It had a fridge and microwave, which were great, but no kettle, which would’ve been useful. The TV was a flat-screen but still coin-operated, which feels outdated, though I didn’t really use it. The balcony, however, was the highlight – it had a table, chairs, and an incredible 180-degree view of the sea and shoreline. For one or two people, the room was more than spacious, and being on the 11th floor, it was really quiet too. One feature I wasn’t aware of before was the rooftop solarium, which was a great surprise. It’s accessible during the day and early evening and has loungers, tables, and chairs. While there’s no bar up there, the views over Playa del Inglés are absolutely stunning and probably some of the best you’ll find in the area. It’s not something that’s heavily advertised, so it could easily be missed, but it’s definitely worth checking out. The hotel has an outdoor pool and a baby pool, which looked well-maintained, though I didn’t use them. There’s also an indoor pool, but it seemed out of action. Renovation work was going on during my stay, but I didn’t hear any noise or feel disturbed at all. The hotel was clean and well-maintained throughout, and room cleaning was done five times a week, with towels changed twice and bedding replaced twice as well. The only downside for me was breakfast. There was a decent variety – cooked items, yoghurts, cereals, meats – but it’s very canteen-style, cooked in bulk, and the quality just wasn’t great. The coffee, from automated machines, was disappointing too. I mostly stuck to a bowl of cereal and coffee to take away. I didn’t try dining at the hotel outside of breakfast, as I prefer exploring local restaurants, but I heard the all-inclusive meals can get repetitive. The fridge in my room was handy for keeping drinks and snacks, which suited me better anyway. The location is another strong point. It’s really close to the beach, and most rooms have either sea views or views of the mountains behind. It’s about a 20–25 minute walk to the Yumbo Centre and 30 minutes to the Cita Shopping Centre, which was fine for me as I enjoy walking. Taxis are everywhere and super affordable, usually between €2–€4 for a short trip. There are also plenty of public transport options nearby and loads of shops and restaurants within a 5–10 minute walk. Considering I stayed during Winter Pride week, which is one of the busiest (and often priciest) times, I found the value for money to be excellent. Prices are even cheaper outside of peak times, so this is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable stay without compromising on comfort. I’d definitely recommend the Corona Roja to budget travellers, solo visitors, or even small families who want an affordable all-inclusive option. There are a few areas for improvement – offering kettles or air conditioning units for hire, removing the coin-operated TVs, and improving the breakfast quality would make a big difference. But overall, it’s a solid choice!

We spent a fantastic week here with my family. The resort was clean and well maintained. The room was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the buffet on most days but found that there were not many chicken options. The evenings were filled with fun and laughter thanks to the amazing entertainment. The animators went above and beyond. Kids club was fantastic and a great opportunity for little ones to make friends and parents to have a few relaxing hours.

I took my wife for 5 days for her birthday, We stayed in the adult only part of the resort, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were stunning, and there was a nice variety of food to choose from. The whole resort was so clean and tidy. all the staff were friendly and smiling. There were 3 different forms of entertainment each evening at the 3 different bars. We booked a spa treatment, which was very reasonably priced and It was fantastic. We only wish we would have booked longer, so much so we are booking again for next year and taking the whole family. The only negative thing we experienced was the mosquitos, but that is just nature and is no fault of the resorts whatsoever. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough. It was absolutely amazing.. Thank you once again and see you next year.

We had a lovely family holiday here. The highlight for us was that the hotel was right next to a gorgeous beach, where the sea was clean and clear. The food in the hotel was good, but it seemed to lack in variety from one night to the next. The rooms were fine and cleaned to a high standard. We had amazing sunset views from our balconies. The last day of our holiday was slightly stressful though as we booked and paid to have a late check-out of our rooms, but then we were informed at the last minute that we couldn't have these rooms so we quickly had to pack and move which messed up our plans. Also, we hadn't been given/couldn't find out information about our transfer back to the airport, and the reception staff couldn't help us with this. We know transfers are not their responsibility, but a bit of help working out what was going on would have been appreciated. Overall, however, we have very happy memories of our holiday at Sandy Beach, Corfu.

I recently stayed at Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu, and it was a great experience. The beachfront location is perfect for relaxation, offering beautiful views and direct access to the sea. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The resort staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful. It’s a bit removed from busier areas, which is ideal for those seeking a quiet getaway. Would recommend!

Harm mo

I had a fantastic stay at Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu. The beachfront location is stunning, and being away from the city added to the charm. It’s a quiet, peaceful place, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The resort staff, especially the reception and guest relations team, were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The food was great, and there were plenty of activities to keep me entertained. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent service, Sandy Beach Resort is the place to be!

Maddison Rushforth

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the beautiful coastline every day. The food was lovely, with a great variety that catered to all tastes. The surrounding area had everything you could need, from shops to cafes, all within easy reach. The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Plus, the scenic views around the hotel added a special touch to the whole experience. Highly recommended!

Jason Nicholl

Excellent location near beach and town. Staff are very friendly polite and professional. Check in was quick and easy. The rooms are lovely and clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom plenty of hot water, nice balcony with a sea view. The hotel is big and has multiple restaurants for all tastes and lots of seating areas in the very well kept gardens. The restaurants are clean with plenty of places to sit, good choice of food and all very nice. The bar has a good selection of drinks from the all inclusive menu and again plenty of places to sit inside and out with a sea view. I would highly recommend this hotel. Sorry if I have missed something but we'll definitely go back.

James kenny

The location is amazing, the staff are fantastic. The only complaint I could have is the waiting time for check in is ridiculous, we arrived at the hotel at 11am and didn't get our room until 3.45pm. We also booked a deluxe double sea view room, when we arrived we were told it was a twin room and they'd push the beds together. Also for a deluxe room, it was very small.

A Yates

Please take note of all the negative reviews. They are all correct! The hotel is too big and can not offer what they say. The pools are too small for the number of guests. We were all inclusive..... drinks are small, and the bar is too busy. The bar shuts at 10.30 pm!! The other bars are a walk up the hill. The main restaurant is OK but repetitive and the other restaurants are OK. They tell you the other restaurants are fully booked, but if you email a complaint about this, they find you a table! It is certainly not as good as other all-inclusive hotels I have been to. But I love the Algarve and I will be back but not to this hotel. I don't recommend it at all.

John Day

I recently embarked on a solo trip and was thoroughly impressed with the hotel's location and the exceptional service provided by the staff. They consistently displayed a positive and welcoming attitude, always willing to engage in friendly conversations. The rooms were meticulously cleaned throughout the night, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic environment. Moreover, the culinary offerings were remarkable, with a diverse range of delectable dishes available at all times. Overall, it was an exceptional experience at a truly remarkable hotel.

Eileen Goddard

Absolutely fantastic hotel, the room is lovely we got given a free upgrade so have a pool view. The food choice and quality is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately the second half of our trip was very noisy and disruptive due to hordes of under 14's staying for a football competition, they were noisy and every evening till nearly midnight were running around the corridors and banging on doors.

Shona Laurenson

Fabulous hotel, staff were all very polite and efficient, clean... So clean! Food was good. We did 10 days all inclusive and always found something different. We ate out in Alvor a couple of times too which was nice to have the quiet from the busy dining at the hotel. Pool is huge, it was cold especially first thing in the morning but the kids seemed not to care, the pool can get a bit crowded on some days but we usually always found a lounger if we were late getting down in the morning. The entertainment team were great and full of energy, put on great shows. Kids tried kids club a couple of times and seemed to like the activities and how quiet it was compared to other resorts we have been to. The grounds and kids play area were great. Little shop on the hotel had lots of useful things but there's lots of shops in Alvor and it's worth the walk down as its a beautiful place. We hope to be back sometime.

Emma Sutton

I am still there at the point of putting my review and honestly it's amazing, the service is amazing but everyday when the cleaners come in I find so many ants on the floor by my bed the sofa also looks like it's never been cleaned in the cracks but the workers are so polite and they would gladly start a conversation with you! I'd also recommend going to the beach, it's really beautiful the tides can be big but the sand is lovely loads of seashells if you like to collect them! I would personally recommend going here for a holiday if you have kids at school I'd say book it the day first of any holidays they have off school so it wouldn't be as busy!

Linda Biggin

We are here at the moment, having been here previously more than twice a year and been happy with the room we were allocated, but not this time. I feel we were given one of the smallest rooms available, when asked to change was told fully booked. I know that is not true as I was very observant of available empty rooms during our stay.The room was very dingy and dark and dissapointing, we are used to better.Having said that it was nice to see some of the same staff still there . They were so friendly to us and the food was always lovely, but not always hot. The kebabs are to die for.The cleanliness is so good here cannot fault anything at all apart from our room. My husband is disabled and would like to see walk in showers in some of the rooms.

Eunice O'Grady

We went on a family holiday, lovely big rooms and balcony, not much entertainment apart from half an hour children's entertainment in evening, one small shop on site, there's a supermarket about 10-15 minute walk away, we walked into Alvor and it took us about 20 minutes (you can get a taxi but we wanted to walk) there's a free bus daily that takes you to the beach, would go back there. Food, drink staff were great.

Paul Hillsden

We were a little disappointed with our room condition, but as the hotel was fully booked, we couldn't be moved. We understand that this hotel will be undergoing a refurbishment in the not too distant future, which may have something to do with the condition of it. However, the rest of the hotel was fine. The bar area was nice and comfortable, the pool was nice, clean, and warm. The poolside bar was excellently staffed by enthusiastic and friendly staff. The food was of very good quality and variety, and the service at lunch and dinner was exceptional. The people working there really made this place. Always smiling, always friendly, and always ready to accommodate any, reasonable, request. They made us feel very welcome.

Beth Veitch

This hotel is shouldn't be 4 stars it's definitely a 3 star! The pictures they show on their website do not match the rooms in real life. Our towels weren't replaced in the room for 2 days and they don't regularly replace new mugs or fresh tea bags, coffee and milk in the rooms. The Pillows and sheets are stained with make up etc. And they're not replaced the whole of your stay! The pool is the best part of the hotel however they have lights hanging off inside the pool and the children's pool is full of debris and needs to be cleaned regularly. The pool bar staff are brilliant and really friendly. The bar in the evening is very slow and needs more staff for the amount of guests in the hotel. The eveing entertainment is rubbish they might aswell just not bother! The decor is very dated with old manky carpets running through the corridors. I will say the food is lovely and changes everyday so your not eating the same things all the time. This hotel definitely needs to be down graded to a 3 star and stop leading people to believe it's a 4 star online!!!

Charmaine Williams

The rooms need fixing up and a bit of paint their was mould near the air condition ants in the room on the cups in the room so we could not drink from them and thread coming out of the bed sheets hole in the cover. The sevice was good there was always staff at the desk to help you. Entertainment was great loved it the day and evening. Good Location it’s near where you can walk to shops or have lunch or dinner out or go out in the evening to have a drink

Melanie Goodfellow

Although this hotel is a little tired looking in places it is clean. The staff are friendly & even though we arrived nearly 3 hours before the scheduled check in time they allowed us to use the facilities & start using our all inclusive bands straight away. The only thing I would note is that although the pool is very large it has very limited shallow ends. My partner is over 6ft tall & was only able to stand in about 20% of the pool the rest of the pool was nearly 2 metres deep which is not great if you have kids who are not strong swimmers.

Harry Girvan

Room cleaning staff unhelpful. Didn't clean room make beds regularly, left until we complained. Constant queues for the bar. No help with luggage and we had young children. Some rails around hotel and pool dangerously loose. Lifeguard only appeared sporadicly. No room refreshment topics. Supposed to be a 4 star hotel, wife rates it as a 2 star maximum. No entertainment for children.

Helen Wilson

We started coming to Kos in 1996. We still come back. In 2020 the hotel we usually stay at closed so we came here. We have returned three times and all I can say is it is what a fantastic place. The animation team are fantastic. The bar staff fantastic. The Maids kept our room spotless and the receptionists are so polite and helpful. The bus into town is punctual and very handy I will dare yogi to .not be impressed with the whole hotel. Ultra clean, food is so Good and drinks are great. Tonight the show put on was the best and I would recommend anyone comes to this beautiful place and enjoys their holiday. I wish we could stay longer. Two weeks of pure happiness and fun. Thank you thank you for the best time again.

Emma Maria

Positives first We were in a suite with an upstairs downstairs and it was immaculate, cleaned everyday and the air con worked fab. The view was just beautiful and we got to hear the entertainment at night from our balcony watching the sunset. There was a whole variety of food for breakfast lunch and dinner which meant most days the kids and adults were happy. Drinks are good measures 😂 too good maybe haha. The animator team are just awesome! My 4yr old son can be very challenging and they kept him entertained no problem, he fell in love with Miguel and Kevin and was so sad to leave them!! I'll be singing the sunshine song for the foreseeable! Plenty shaded areas for the kids, lots of shallow kids pools and snacks ice cream served throughout the day for them. The staff can never do enough for you apart from the old grumpy man who serves on the bar at the animator pool! Which brings us onto the negatives .... this man is so rude and grumpy it actually made us switch what pool we sat at because no one wanted to ask him for drinks, he huffed and puffed at us every time we asked for a drink, and God forbid you ask him if he was having a cigarette! I got my drinks slammed on the bar! The hotel shop is quite expensive but we found the shop down by the beach to be much more affordable so started using that. The drinks machines kept going out of order so had to walk up and down the dining room to find one that worked. But honestly they are the only negatives I could pick out of our 2weeks there. All in all it was a fabulous resort and we will most definitely be back!

lennart Langels

The hotel is far away from everything and the service at the reception is not good. Only some of them can speak English and they how can speak English doesn't speak well. The service at the reception is not so well the information is not clear, sometimes incorrect and not at the acutall stand of time. The service at the restaurant is okay mostly the waiters are fast to take the dishes but it's quite normal that some people can't eat when they want because there are no seats left. The pools aren't heated and at a temperature around 15°C (the lake is warmer than the pools).

Sarah Bell

I bit out of kardemena, but service from waiters and waitresses was fabulous. The rooms get a lot of use and air conditioning is a bit noisy but they were well cleaned. Food was good it's very difficult to cater for lots of people but food was good. Highly recommend more sunbeds as people will always leave towels all day and not use them. Mermaid restaurant wasn't great, long waits and I understood what is trying to be achieved but it didn't really work out.

Andrea Hadfield

The hotel was decent enough, not 5 star standard. I would say rooms are basic and quite small but sufficient and the only place in the whole hotel with decent air conditioning. The pools and restaurants are all good and I wanted to give a special mention to 3 of the restuarant staff Alba, John and Jason who were amazing not only great at their job but went out of their way to make us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. They are a credit to the hotel and I would return just to see them again!

Pelin Göral Akbaş

We spent three days at Allegro. The room was good, clean, and had a big bed. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were sufficient. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away. Allegro Beach is long and spacious, with a private area reserved for hotel guests. You can walk to the marina in about 30 minutes along the beach—it’s worth it for the wonderful sunset, which you shouldn’t miss. In December, the weather is pleasant in the sun but can get a bit chilly in the shade and at night. The all-inclusive option is a great choice, allowing you to enjoy the hotel all day and participate in some activities at the pool.

David Gill

A fantastic hotel, , all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The entertainment staff were outstanding, and were always there for a good laugh. We consider these guys as family now. And will definitely be booking again for next year. Thank you all for a fabulous experience, this made our holiday the best one so far. Love to you all.

Georgia Morrison

Had an amazing four night stay. Everything was good. Drinks not so great but good nice. The pool area is nice and can always get a sunbed. Room are a nice size and bed are so comfy. What makes the hotel is the animation team who work hard and I’ve never known a hotel with so many activities the team is a credit to the hotel they really are. We are sad to leave after some lush winter sun.

Olivia Long

Stayed here for a week late November, honestly can’t fault the place. Staff are lovely, they can’t do enough. Rooms are beautiful and really clean. Food is really nice, something for everyone. Drinks are local, but generally really nice, can be weak sometimes. Location wise, there’s not much around, we found the food places around did same as hotel. We paid £500 each All Inclusive, flights, transfers everything and were very impressed! Hopefully going to go back in a couple of years

Theo Hamilton

The animation team work hard to ensure you have the best time! They are lovely and amazing and will try to get you involved in all activities even if you are a bit introverted. They do a fun dance that you join in with! If you’re boring you shouldn’t book this hotel, be prepared to be entertained every hour of the day. Not to mention their professional latino dancing.

Jan Booth

Absolutely fantastic hotel. We can not rate it highly enough. The staff are all so helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant is first class, especially the sweets, delicious 😋. Rooms are spacious, towels changed every day. There are shampoos, conditioner, shower gel all provided. The animation team were so friendly and tried to get everyone involved. There were so many activities we couldn't fit it all in. Lastly, the beach is probably one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been on. The sea crystal clear with lovely fine sand. I can highly recommend a visit to this lovely hotel.

Kitt Roberts

Everything about the resort was phenomenal. The food was incredible. The entertainment was unmatched. The workers couldn’t be more helpful, they are so cheerful and inviting. The entertainment staff had so much energy and filled the entire trip with joy. I cannot stress enough how amazing they truly are. They remember you and engage with you throughout your entire visit. The cleaning staff leave the most incredible towel designs everyday. I would come back in a heartbeat! This place is incredible and so magical. This is the perfect place to be both insanely busy or equal just to relax and enjoy the sunshine. I would recommend this place to friends, family or just couples. This is favourite holiday and I will be coming back.

Sanja S

Fantastic Stay with Exceptional Service! I recently stayed at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough! The food was absolutely amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from each day. Every meal felt like a culinary adventure, with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented dishes. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable. The rooms were spotless, and the housekeeping staff did an incredible job of maintaining a high standard throughout our stay. The entire property was well-maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. However, what really made our stay unforgettable was the animation team. They were full of energy, enthusiasm, and creativity, making sure that guests of all ages had an incredible time. From morning activities to evening entertainment, the team went above and beyond to keep everyone engaged and entertained. Their passion and dedication truly set this hotel apart! Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for a hotel with great food, spotless facilities, and a top-notch animation team, this is the place to be!

Jacqueline North

The hotel was amazing. Comfortable rooms and great food. The animation team was very friendly and so welcoming. They made our day so much better. They would always dance, sing and make us part of the team. Thank you so much to the animation team. I would definitely come back.

Gavin Elmore

The hotel is gorgeous and very well maintained. Our room is very nice with a great view. There is always a great selection of food for each meal. But the best part of the have been the staff. They're all incredibly helpful and have seen that I have a drink in my hand at nearly all times. The animation team keep things interesting with different activities during the day and a variety of shows in the evening. We paid for a few optional extras like the water sports and a spa treatment that left me feeling like jelly after. Highly recommended.
