Summer 2025 Holiday Deals

Hannah Desmond

The hotel is fine, a little shabby as mentioned by some other reviewers and doesn’t have the comfiest beds/bedding, although the sofa was great! The food was fine on the whole – some days better than others but there was a decent selection most of the time. The pool area was a bit cramped and the music wasn’t my vibe so I spent most of my sunbathing time in the solarium which was really quiet and has lovely views. The staff are really nice at the hotel, they work very hard and are very friendly. It was all very clean. Overall, I’d recommend it for an affordable holiday in West Tenerife.

During my recent stay at BLUESEA Lagos de Cesar, I found the experience to be acceptable, though far from outstanding. The hotel met basic expectations, but there were several areas where improvements are clearly needed. Firstly, the cleanliness of the rooms was satisfactory, but only just. The housekeeping staff seemed to do the bare minimum, with the rooms being cleaned enough to be presentable, but not sparkling. There were occasional missed spots, and the attention to detail was lacking. As for the food, this was a mixed bag. While some meals were decent, there were noticeable instances where the ingredients didn’t seem fresh. This inconsistency detracted from the overall dining experience. The breakfast, in particular, often featured items that appeared to be past their prime, leaving much to be desired in terms of flavor and quality. On a more positive note, the drinks and cocktails were free, which was a nice touch. However, their quality was very low, clearly made with cheap ingredients. While it’s hard to complain about free beverages, the taste left a lot to be desired, and they didn’t add much to the overall experience. In summary, BLUESEA Lagos de Cesar provides an adequate stay but lacks the finer touches that could make it a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a no-frills option where you can manage with the basics, this hotel might suit your needs. However, if you're seeking quality in both food and service, you may want to explore other options.

Hotel was clean and tidy. Receptionist upon greeting were lovely and very helpful. Restaurant and bar staff were great and Ruben in entertainment was amazing. He had time for everyone and provided what he could within control. Dino the lifeguard well….. aggressive, slapping his hands to guests when angry, don’t like British female guest. Falls asleep on his chair likes to close the pool early. Leaves the pool 20 minutes early so he can get changed so he can leave on time which means the pool is unmanned. Needs to learn to be professional.

Not a four star at all. Alcohol was watered down, entertainment was not good enough , the room was far to hot to sit in, the bar staff were wanting to close early , the plastic cups were ridiculous , no seating outside , not allowed to vape in fresh air, nowhere to relax outside , the pool man was very rude , no atmosphere in the place , very regimental and not relaxing at all. Same music on low played every single day. Couldn’t sit by the pool after a certain time, food was basic. Only aqua aerobics on for activities in the day . You couldn’t take your baby in the kids pool because you were an adult, the Germans were very rude, not a good hotel if you are English . The sofa bed was awful to sleep on. Was clean, the single beds were very comfortable . That was the only positives

Gary

Rooms lovely just need a coat stand of some description. Food good on most days but bit hit and some on some too. Majority of staff pleasant odd one a little miserable. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Sally-Marie Smith

Had a really lovely stay here as a solo guest. Rooms are basic but clean and are cleaned every day. Food was good, plenty of vegetarian options. Didn't use the pools as I prefer the beach which is about 3 minutes walk away. Staff all lovely and friendly. As a person on my own I felt very comfortable and safe. Free bookable shower room for if you have a later flight. I would most definitely stay again. Bar area was great, lots of space.

The worst hotel I have stayed at so far. The only good thing about it is the location as it's quite close to the beach and the main center. The worst decision was getting all inclusive at this hotel. The restaurant is very dirty and the glasses have never been washed properly with juice bits stuck to them. The staff at the restaurant is very rude and will hit you with the trolley if you are in their way. We were looking for a place to sit and were forced out by a lady with the trolley because we were in her way. Another customer was pouring his drink when another another waitress hit him with the trolley cus he was in her way at the time. Many of the foods are reheated from frozen, some others are expired which unfortunately resulted in us getting sick for 2 days. All rooms are very dirty with holes patched up (or not), AC that's never been cleaned before, towels that you will be too scared to touch (see photos). Also, you may want to consider bringing your own extension lead or have €10 spare for a deposit to get one from the hotel as there is only one socket in the room to which the TV is connected. I don't think the curtains in the rooms have ever been washed, neither has the shower. When eating at the hotel make sure to double check your plates as well, as many of them have got dried food leftovers stuck to them. I have never thought that I'll be wishing to go home on holidays and that I'll have to be spending so much money on food elsewhere while paying for all inclusive at the hotel but unfortunately we did not have any choice. Also, be prepared to walk up the stairs to your room every day as there is only one small lift (the second one has been out of order for months now) which can only take up to 4 people at a time and there are 9 floors in the hotel. We spent about 15 minutes waiting for an empty lift to arrive so that we can go down to the reception with our luggage to check out. Also be careful about the stairs as there are a few that are broken

Andy Hannibal

Some small language barriers but admittedly I speak no Spanish so to be expected. Had issues one night with the electricity cut out in my room for a couple hours and communication was tricky - all I could get was it may be fixed 'tomorrow' which was less than ideal, but as said it came back on after an hour or two so good result to a tricky situation. Food was good. Not excellent but tasty - I did repeatedly go towards the end of the meals when it was quieter but understandably they had fairly consistently run out of a small number things by that point. Service and entertainment was top notch - no children for me, but plenty of things to do through the day including archery, rifle shooting, karaoke, some live musicians in the evening, alongside bingo and raffles. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed myself and relaxed as intended. Would recommend for a nice slow paced relaxing holiday.

TJ

Room was very small unfortunately. The hotel staff were very friendly, and the catering staff, were faultless.. Food was nice, and always fresh and hot... The pool isn't as big as it looks on the picture, entertainment was good. And a good choice of alcohol drinks at the bar.. The snack bar, was how you expect it to be. Again fresh and hot. And the bar staff are very friendly and helpful... First time visiting Alcudia.. The beach was very clean. And everything is on the flat. Nice boutiques, bit pricey, and standard gift shops...

Douglas Barnes

The hotel was as advertised. No disappointment there. Entertainment could have been better. It was aimed more at kids, of which there were few. The staff were the best thing at this hotel. Giod location, though.

Ana-Maria Săcară

From the beginning, very far from the airport (2 hours by car) and far from being a 5 star hotel... We stayed in the old building, so everything is quite worn out or outdated. The elevators seem newer but look cheap and tacky and are really small. More important aspects would be the really thin walls and balcony door. We could hear all our neighbours and the loud music from outside until falling asleep. After the party is done or earlier in the morning, you can hear the traffic from the nearby highway through the closed balcony door. The staff try to be nice but are quite dismissive, also they hardly speak English. The food was ok, better than other places in Turkey we've been. The beach is very close to the hotel, there's a neat passage under the highway that gets you directly there. The shore is rocky and the sand is rough, so better wear water shoes. We couldn't enjoy the beach much because there were always high waves. Overall, not worth the money and we wouldn't recommend this stay.

Mila Beazley

Very disappointed 😞!! Dirty cats every where .. spoiled our Christmas treat !! No way this place is a 5⭐️ the rooms are dirty all damp we suffered with the cough and chest this 5 days on our visit ! the restaurant is full of cats walking everywhere all around the chairs and tables ( webpage says no animal friendly)and the night we arrived we left our cases in the lobby while we went for a drink one of the cats piss all over one of my cases all the clothes stunk very bad. rooms and toilets are mouldy. Indoor pool very disgusting 🫣 0 clean rate . Drinks at the bar are so cheap . Also no much entertainment as was christmas week and the place was busy .. the only good think was the massage treatment 😌.. but the rest very dissatisfied.. and poor 😢 PLEASE don't waist your money !!

Anton

We were on vacation in Doganay and honestly I will never come back. Small rooms,need to be fixed and refreshed. The food is poor,I wanted to eat one fat and juicy doner,(we are in turkey) but never see him at dinner. Only 1 place for meat and when it comes dinner time all the guests rush for the meat and you need to wait for 10-15 min under the burning sun. The beach like every beach in Turkey is rocks and concrete.. Animators are good.

dan macca

If you want a nice friendly 5* hotel This is not the place for you tiles missing from the swimming pool floor,plastic plimps broken around the pool a few staff members really rude. No real first aid to speak of. Will not be going back. I'm only giving an honest view take it or leave it.

Kacey B2001

Me and my partner visited for 6 days. We arrived late and were greeted with a warm welcome a staff member helped us to our room and then told us there is a late supper on which we are welcome to go to. The pools were all amazing and some fun games around the pool with the animation team such as water polo and water gym. All the staff were super friendly even tho there was a slight language barrier as we are English and they were mainly German or Turkish. The beach has a lovely set up with a cute swing to take great sunset photos on. Multiple bars to get drinks from and one that is even open till 2am. The evening entertainment was brilliant. They had different acts on each night. The hotel is fairly dated but looks nice for how old it is LOVE the lobby and the rooms are good size and the house keeper comes round every day to stock up and replenish the fridge. The shops on site were great and we have definitely gone away with our moneys worth. Good information In main lobby of things you can do outside the hotel. The only issue we had was the food. We are not really picky eaters but some of the food was not great. Allot of the meat was very fatty and not nice. There needs to be more signs telling you what is what on the all you can eat buffet as if you had an allergy to something especially on the salad bar it has no signs to say what it is. The food did seem to get better as our week went on but I do think the food needs a big improvement as most of the time it was either cold or bland. All round great hotel worth the money and would definitely come back again.

Ruby Gilmour

It was beautiful here!! Great staff, they were very helpful. Free bus to and from the beach, and everything is about a 10-20 minute walk! When you check out they have an area to put your suitcases in so you don’t have to carry them around. And wow the gift shop near it!! It’s beautiful their rings are beautiful and greatly priced!! I’m so pleased with this hotel. As my first time abroad I had the best time. Better than expected we would definitely go again!! Thank you for giving us such a great time!!

Sharon Hedges

The room and balcony were spacious and clean. Plenty of cupboard space for clothing etc. Clean towels and beds made daily (over our 5 days stay) Beds were comfy. The hotel and pool area are very clean. Plenty of sun loungers, but you do have to be quick to get the ones near the parasols (this happens at most hotels!) We didn't find the walk up/down the hill a problem. Hot or cold choice for breakfast, with fresh fruit and a good selection of bread, cheese, hams, pastries etc. Good location for supermarkets, eateries and bars. On the whole I think we made the best choice when booking this hotel. The grounds are so much nicer than others that we walked past and the sun shines on the pool all afternoon. The lifts are a tad slow (the only negative thing). All staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Sue Curzon

Stayed in the attached apartments, which were very basic & certainly not 4 star like the hotel is rated. There seemed to be a leaking pipe (water dripping from kitchen area ceiling) which was reported but nobody came to assess or deal with it. We paid for a panoramic view with a glass balcony & got a concrete balcony. The panoramic view was lovely, but could only be seen if we were standing. There was no control or action in respect of the poor behaviour of other residents, despite it being reported, which included throwing things off the balconies, spitting over the edges onto other balconies, smoking in areas they shouldn't be & very excessive noise. The small pool attached to the apartments was neglected somewhat. We were able to use the main hotel pool, but it would have been nice to be able to use ours. Communication was poor & some of the staff were quite rude. There was also a €200 deposit which wasn't included in the information. Definitely wouldn't stay there again.

Moss Lag

The only good thing about this hotel is the hotel staff, not the manager as he does not resolve any issues we raised. The rooms are very dirty, the bath was all rusty and chipped. The headboard of the bed was falling to pieces, just horrible tbh. This should definitely not be a 4x hotel in my opinion.

natasha russell

Friendly front desk staff, reception and pool area clean. Rooms tiny air con doesn't work bathroom could use a deep clean. We did know before going it was a 20 mins walk to the main strip however it wasn't manageable the hill was to steep so had to rely on taxis. Not expensive though

Kim Kaur

I stayed in this hotel in Oct 2024. We booked via On the Beach which was very easy. We reached the airport pretty late but then were delayed by transfers. We got to the hotel around 3:30am. There are 2 hotels next to each other, part of the same company. Once we arrived, we were told we're in the other hotel. Not great as our booking said one thing but we were told another, plus not ideal at that time when we had already travelled 10 hours! The receptionist was nice, pleasant and got us into our rooms fairly quickly. Once we got into the room, we found 2 single beds! Firstly, we had booked a double room, secondly we sent an email in advance requesting a double bed and a confirmation was sent back! We headed down to reception to find out and see if we could have the room we booked. We were told, we're fully booked right now and please come to reception at 9am to sort this out. At it was now 4am in the morning, we didn't want to unpack as it was pointless. At 9am in the morning the reception team said they know nothing about this and couldn't help. This was extremely disheartening as we were told something else. We then tried again later that day and the receptionist told us that they could sort something out - which was to push the beds together and place a double mattress over it. We accepted, it was better than nothing. They told us to wait in the bedroom and somebody would come up and sort it. Nobody came into the room, we actually repeated the above process for 3 days till someone came and sorted the bed out. The housekeeping staff were nice, although they didn't speak English, you could tell they were kind and accommodating. On our last day, we checked out and went into another hotel. When packing, I come to realise that 2 pairs of my shoes were missing! I reported it to reception but they didn't care. I then sent an email after a day, but nothing. I decided to go back to the hotel and ask again, they were extremely rude and said no. The staff in hotel 1 are much friendlier and helpful - even when we had issues with our flight, hotel 2 were not helpful and dismissive! All we needed was access to a computer, where hotel 2 should've said - there is a PC in hotel 1, they didn't! The food was great some days and others it was like left overs. We actually dined out a lot more and felt like the all inclusive experience was a waste. Chefs coughing and sneezing, not enough variety for vegetarians or vegans. The entertainment staff were absolutely amazing, always happy and mixing with the guests. The entertainment was decent, nothing really stood out or kept us in the hotel. They accommodated children more. They have a nice pool area, busy and entertaining. It's also in a nice area, great walking distance to the main street and beach. I spent a lot of time near the bar as the layout is nice. I found flies/insects in my drinks on 3 occasions and reported it back to the bar. Another lady that I became friends with told me that they were giving her dirty glasses - disgusting! Would I go back? No

Rosie Baskerville

I am an absolute foodie and was a bit worried about some of the reviews about the food. However, as far as all inclusive go the food is really good, the chefs are constantly cooking something fresh, and they’re usually huge fillets of fish. The sea rice & paella was delicious & there was always loads of options, unless your super fussy! The rooms were a little on the small side however, always clean and each day had fresh towels etc so perfect for the little time you spend in the room. Service was great from all staff, entertainment was also brilliant - I highly recommend pool cycling it’s hilarious!

chris kelly

This hotel was my first experience of an all inclusive package and I can’t say I was disappointed in any way. Every day was spent with a drink in hand by the pool relaxing before making my way in for lunch and dinner to some very tasty meal options. My favourite would have to be the pork cheeks, some of the tastiest food I have experienced. The staff were nearly always nice and helpful although the language barrier was there they understood all our needs and there was nothing to fault or complain about. I hope to be back to this hotel in the near future for another holiday of the same caliber.

Felicity Bullen

We visited Sol Palmanova this week and here is my honest review; We were a family of 9 travelling with kids (2 adults + 2 children, 2 adults + 1 child and 2 adults). Check in was fairly easy with the exception that they had put us all in rooms of 3 which wasn't very useful for the 4 in our party. We asked for a bigger room however they said that they were fully booked and would have to pay €100 euros to upgrade. So we just used the mattress out of the room with just the 2 adults. So in the end it worked out OK. Rooms were OK. Very clean but a little small. Not a massive problem as you don't spend much time in there. They were cleaned daily. Beware of the wonky toilet seats though 😆 Food - probably the one thing that really let's the hotel down. Very repetitive and really wasn't the tastiest I've had at an AI. However not hideous and I'd say there's probably just about something for everyone. We never had a problem getting a table but occasionally when we left the restaurant there was a queue. Sunbeds - we got up at 8 and got sunbeds each day we were there. Not necessarily prime spots but got space. Again, obviously gets busier as the day gets going. Couple of days we went out and came back later and even then managed to get beds. However it does say that towels will be removed by staff if obviously not being used but this was not the case. Location - Brilliant! 2 minute walk from the beach and the same to shops and restaurants. 10 minute walk into Magaluf if you want the party nights. Drinks - Simple - you get given a token, change this for a cup and then just go to the bar as you wish! You get given a clean cup each time. Then just swap for tokens again when you're done. Staff - all seem lovely and helpful that we experienced. Plenty of activities for the kids to get involved in and adults too. Shows that we saw in the evening were all good. Only have to small lifts to upper floors so this is a pain. But all in all, a nice AI hotel. Would recommend.

Valentin

Will start with the good things. The hotel is pretty well maintained and clean and the staff is very friendly. Food diversity was good and tasty. In case you are gluten intolerant you can fill a form where you pick foods that they will make in the gluten free version. On the bad side, the rooms are fairly small and the beds are terrible. The elevator is small and very slow. The beer and wine part of the all inclusive are pretty terrible.

Elizabeth Ekekua

Warning! Don't recommend this place. Went here with my 3 children (1 daughter and 2 sons) When we had arrived, They literally left us to go and put our suitcases upstairs. We only ate their food once and it was seriously cold. One time, one of the staff went to our room without any permission. I locked the door and couldn't open it back. My oldest son who is 11 years old, tried opening it back but couldn't. So i had to call one of the staff to go and fix it and that was when we realised they had broke the door. Horrid place, never coming here again.

Pooya Masoudi

We had good stay overall. Bur our room could be cleaner. Location of the hotel was not bad also wasn’t so good. Good point was there is a shuttle to the their own beach every 30mins. Foods were ok, there were fresh orange juice available at the dinner. 👍 Best part of the hotel was the aqua park. We enjoy it a lot, but don't expect to spend a whole day there. Price were a little bit high.

Mr Happy

( looks like a lot of fake 5 star reviews are being paid for by the hotel ) Please do not book this hotel let's start with the little man on the front desk he needs to find a new job no customer service skills talks to people like dirt . The food at this hotel is awful. The drinks are awful if you can get served by the miserable stuff I managed to find out that some stuff are working 16 hour shifts for very little money so I guess that's why there not happy. Don't be fooled by the modern look of the hotel behind the scenes it's terrible 1 bar open at a time stuff bunny hoping between each bar when they open no entertainment after 10.30 everyone sitting around on there phones looking miserable. Loads of old men smoking looking at the young women this place really needs to sort it's self out I've stayed in better 2 star hotels in Greece with better hospitality

Double A

We had a 4 night stay at this hotel in Oct 2024. Everything went well from customer service, pools, entertainment and the remaining facilities available to us. The only aspect which lets the resort down slightly is the food. Plenty of options available but in my opinion it was low on quality. Positives were the spacious and modern rooms, spa and wellness centre has some great people there, beach wasn’t too far away, cleaners can be seen all the time, pools and entertainment were good too.

Aanchal Oswal

We had a stay for 4 days, the property had a nice vibe along with the room. The issue we faced was with the housekeeping the other day. I have a 10 months old baby. Except the bed ,, The entire room, its floor wasn’t cleaned at all. Used napkins weren’t picked up and after complaining at the reception , they said “the staff is like that only” showing no signs to help. The major issue was not having options for vegetarian food. People can’t survive only with 2 options for vegetarian food (especially after paying so much where food is inclusive). The staff isn’t that friendly here as compared to other hotels that I visited in Istanbul and cappadocia

Pascal Terjan (CMoi)

We had a great stay, very relaxing. The views are wonderful, it is in a quiet area just outside town with a nice walking path along the sea to the center. Food was varied enough and we always found something to enjoy (special mention to the lahmacun one evening). Staff was helpful and friendly. The room we got on the top floor of the main building (which was presented as an upgrade from the bungalow we had booked) was large but very dark and had very few power sockets available, one being just on top of the pillow in the middle of the bed, others requiring to unplug a lamp (even the kettle shared one with a lamp).

Ekaterina Paramonova

The location is fantastic. The views from the balcony of our bungalow were amazing. The rooms are a bit outdated. Cleaning of the rooms is not perfect, one can find some dust here and there with a bit of effort. On the other hand, there is a lot more fun stuff to do then check for dust. The food was good with sufficient choices. Entertainment was well arranged.

Anita Potts

Beautiful central position, great for walks, no beach/sand but nice Waterfront. Can hop on a water taxi at the cost of 200 lira (£5) each way. Entertainment could be better but if you're staying and able try to secure a high room to be able to see the beautiful vista view

Bu Lut

Hello holiday travellers. The hotel is nice to the beach not much walking distance and the rooms are also good. But unfortunately the service/ waiters at the restaurant place are very bad. Also the cleaning. They never ask you if you want / need anything. They only bring you water, but you have to ask that a several times also. For pepsi/sprite/alcohol and the rest you have to pick up by your self always in this hotel. Most waiters are rude not friendly at all. The food was on average. They are strictly with everything. Afternoon dinner finishes at 14:30 p.m. and evening dinner at 21:30 p.m. If you are 1/2 min later there is no food for you. So if you are looking for a luxe 5 stars hotel this is not worth your money. Better go to ideal prime beach or diamond hotel 5 minutes further. Have a nice day all!

Ta Ka

The hotel advertises itself with 5 stars, and the reviews are mostly positive. Below is my personal review: Stay duration: Early September Average temperature: 25-27°C at night / 30-34°C during the day Positive: The location is ideal. Not directly in the city, but it’s reachable within 3-5 minutes by car. Right by the sea, with an exclusive area for hotel guests only. Beautiful promenade along the beach towards the city center. Generally clean and well-maintained. The food tasted good, with few exceptions. Stunning view of the Marmaris Bay from the room’s balcony. Room service works well. Professional staff at the reception. Security and hotel parking are well managed. Negative: Hygiene: Long hair found in the shower from the previous guest. Building: The hotel is somewhat dated and could use renovations in some areas, like the silicone seals in the bathroom/shower. The room balconies are not truly separated. It’s easy to access neighboring balconies or look into other rooms. However, this doesn’t apply to all rooms, but privacy is lacking. The children’s entertainment area is located right next to the main restaurant (see "Organization"). Organization: Requested two single beds during booking, but received a double bed. On the first day, the minibar was not refilled. During dinner, loud children's music plays nearby from the entertainment area (songs like "Yippee Yay Yay" and similar). At the same time, soft piano music plays from the speakers directly above the guests' heads – an odd combination. The waiters only clear the plates; everything else is self-service. As soon as the meal time ends, for example at 2:30 PM, the food is cleared away instantly. I missed my dessert because of this once. Staff: There are both friendly and less friendly staff – which is understandable. However, one young waiter was particularly rude. At 2:30 PM, when the restaurant closed, he dragged the tables across the floor, causing an annoying screeching noise. When I addressed it, he just replied that it was 2:30 and the restaurant was closed. I had a 90-minute full-body massage, which was fantastic. Afterward, I was given a drink to relax. Unfortunately, the friendly employee came to sit next to me and tried to sell me another massage in a very pushy manner – almost like at a bazaar. That was inappropriate. I would have liked to relax for the first five minutes after the massage in peace. Overall Rating: 5,5 /10.

lilge07

We were a little apprehensive after reading some reviews. No need. Lovely clean, comfortable hotel. Very good food and varied for an AI package holiday hotel. The desk staff are very helpful and professional. The dining room and bar staff work hard, are polite and always have a smile. There are just about enough sunbeds round the pool, there's a pool bar too. Makes me laugh though cos none of them actually get in the pool!!! Probably another 60 sunbeds on a large terrace and large beds with drapes. Lots of activities during the day and fun shows in the evening. The staff work so hard and gave us a good time. You get what you pay for and it was worth every penny.

Angelika Dereń

We are pleased with the stay. the food is very good, varied, the service is very good. the rooms are clean and comfortable. everything would be great if the water in the pool was heated. and a big minus is that you can hear everything in the room. you can hear your neighbors from every side. the worst is when it is after midnight and the neighbors are partying right next door. They do not supervise it, every day we called the reception at night to report it. a very large majority of people from England who do not respect other people.

tsukimi819

room was totally falling apart at the seams and very outdated. lamps were falling off the wall, the door wasn't on the railings on the wardrobe, cupboards didn't shut and forget about a working safe. staff were friendly and helpful and the little shop was a little overpriced but nice and i guess that's convenience for you. pool was freezing 24/7 even after 30°c sun on it all day and breakfast was inedible besides the biscuits. juices were not good and yoghurt just dried out your mouth. nearest usable beach is not that close and the town is a 10 minute walk away. scenery was nice and they had their own bus stop for coaches and airport shuttles but nearest real bus stop was 5 minutes down a hill. located next to an abandoned building site that looked very sketchy although we never had any problems with it. free water by the door which was nice and luggage storage if you turn up too early, although not at all secure. loud music one of the nights we were there but we wasn't too bad and we didn't even notice it by the time we went to bed. definitely a 3 star stay at most and cheap for a reason. I'd rather go somewhere much nicer for less time, but I don't think we'll be returning to this area anyway.

Alex

At first I nearly did not book this family holiday due to some reviews here . I ( we ) have no idea why they are so bad we were totally happy. The rooms were clean, food was good, location was good, they threw in a free and very very good extra Christmas day dinner, sorted out car rental and anything else we needed. I can only recommend this place to be honest. We had half board and had no issues the entire stay.

paul bertram

Ground floor room is of a good size, nice to have a bath as well as a shower. On arrival our room was nice and clean so no issues with that. Pros. Large room. Bath and shower (over bath). Large wardrobe, with both hanging space and shelving. Plenty of mirrors for the ladies 🙂. Fridge. Clean and tidy with regular maid service. Cons. No tea/coffee making facilities (kettle hire is available). Safe is at extra cost. Very few plug sockets. Can't lock up patio door from outside (ground floor). Decor and furniture is showing it's age. The drains/plug holes/ toilet smelt awful in our room, reported to reception who did something?? And also placed an air freshener in the bathroom which made the room useable. Breakfast was pleasant and plentiful. Good variety of either cooked or continental. Food quality was good rather than great.. Massive pool area (didn't use) plenty of sun bathing areas. Not drinker's so didn't visit the bar. Plenty of shops/eateries near by. Bus stops also near by. We would happily stay here again but we feel investment is definitely needed. Ps, staff all lovely and very helpful. On a personal note, it would be nice if the hotel had a "no smoking" section of rooms. We felt unable to use our patio as every one around us was smoking and the smoke/smell was horrid.

Hana Ashraf

Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. From the very start, we were warmly welcomed with genuine hospitality. The rooms were immaculate and meticulously organized, showcasing attention to detail. The culinary experience was outstanding, with every dish exceeding expectations. Service was impeccable, going above and beyond in every way. We relished the stunning sea views and enjoyed the morning activities. The staff were consistently courteous and attentive, checking in regularly to anticipate our needs and serving us with the highest level of professionalism

Marwan Ashraf

We had the perfect family vacation at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The amenities were fantastic, especially the pool and kids’ area, which kept the little ones entertained. The on-site dining was delicious, with options for everyone in the family. The location was ideal, with beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return!

Raja Ali

We have booked this hotel by checking very good reviews but we found out that those all reviews were wrong because we haven’t seen anything outstanding in the hotel during our stay. Staff allocated on the food area were very rude and discriminating between skins. It’s obvious that when someone sits on the table for eating a member of the staff must comes up to ask the drink but that time they were only going to their favourite people not to everyone sitting there. And also as we problems facing on checkout day when they forces us to check out 10 hours before our flight and leave us in the hotel to spend our time or pay 70£ extra. Thirdly they haven’t mentioned on the booking website about the prices breakdown of ground and upstairs rooms, they only advertised about the garden facing and pool facing family rooms so which we buy the deal of pool facing but when we arrived there we have requested the reception that we had little baby of age less than 3 years so can we have ground floor room to avoid the push chair issue by bringing up and down every time . Despite of knowing the fact that at this time of year all the ground floor section was empty they haven’t give us the ground floor family room and asked to pay extra 140€ for the upgrade . And the water temperature in the pools were also not upto the mark. So overall i had a very bad experience in the visit

Very nice hotel. Pros: Nice service Big, clean and nice rooms Good quality food A la cart restaurant options Nice pool system Decent location; A 3-4€ Uber ride to Hurghada City Center Cons: Only Egyptian drinks (decent quality, though) Bad smell outdoors (you get used to it in a few minutes) The beach is not the most beautiful

Glenda Caesar

Spent 4 days & 4 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed e everything about it. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is on point. I was also able to work and attend online meetings as the WiFi was excellent. Would recommend anytime. Very child friendly.

I have to say this is our first time staying at long beach and wow, I am so impressed! In fact I am that impressed we’ve booked to come back with all the family in December again. We have been here almost 3 weeks with another 10 days to go. The food is wonderful, so much choice. Our room is a little out dated but location is fantastic (we didn’t come here to spend much time in our rooms anyway) so upgrading to the newer rooms was not important to us. The showers are so hot and powerful, the cleaner is so good. He always has a smile, brings us anything we require and does a fantastic job of keeping our room clean and tidy. The staff can’t help you more with their friendly approaches and constant attention to your needs. The lobby bar is our favourite place to chill on an evening and the bar staff again, 'so attentive’ to everything and all the staff members call us by our names which I find so incredibly respectful and how they can remember everyones names and faces is mind blowing as this hotel is huge. Buses take you around the resort all day long and to anywhere you wish to be dropped off. All the staff are such lovely people, they really make this holiday special. This holiday for us has been so good that we really do not want to leave.

This sprawling beachfront resort is ideal for families or couples looking for a relaxing getaway at the infamous Red Sea. The rooms are average in size, offering the basic amenities, though slightly dated. The resort has several large pools, a variety of restaurants, and activities like snorkelling, beach games and a spa. The all-inclusive package is a must, offering buffet meals all day and poolside snacks. However the only downside is the limited options for vegetarians or health-conscious options. A key highlight is the private beach with direct access to the Red Sea, as well as an extensive amount of covered and uncovered seating on the beachfront. However, the location is quite far from Hurghada city center, so it’s best for those planning to stay on-site and enjoy all the amenities on offer.

Martyna Bryl

I recently stayed at Long Beach Resort and it was an exceptional experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making check-in a breeze. The room was clean, modern, and well-equipped, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, a fantastic stay, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. The animation team was fantastic! They were energetic, friendly, and always created a fun atmosphere. From engaging activities during the day to lively evening shows, they truly made the stay memorable. Their enthusiasm and creativity added a special touch to our holiday experience.

Tino Nobrega

The hotel has a great location! The pool area was fabulous and very spacious. Restaurants were clean and offered plenty of choices with excellent service. All the staff worked hard to ensure your stay was happy and enjoyable. The Animation Team really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, providing great shows and entertainment throughout the day. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Jay Rahman

Amazing place with exceptional staff from reception to housekeeping. Very quiet, (adult side) apartment was beach view with lovely sunsets and sunrises. I can’t stress enough. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. From breakfast to dinner.

Aine Connellan

Had the best week here. A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location with a sea and mountain view. The food was delicious with plenty of choice and our 2 year old son loved playing in the pools. The restaurant staff are so friendly, the cleaners are amazing, our room was spotless every day and I loved the Jumbo club entertainment team, they were great fun! Thanks for having us, we hope to return again!

Katalin Szabó

I don't usually listen to negative reviews and now it turns out that I'm doing it right. I read in some reviews that the entertainment team is very tuned in to the French, which we also experienced and I don't think it's good either. My son wanted to play in the water with the others several times and asked, but for some reason he was not invited. But fortunately, he didn't get bitter, so there was no problem and we didn't take the matter to heart. We had a fantastic week here. A wonderful view, great and varied food was really different every day, the staff was very kind. We really liked the lady in the shop (unfortunately, I don't know her name), she is always kind and smiling. My kids really enjoyed the slides and pools. We knew they had salt water in them, so we arrived prepared with goggles so it wasn't confusing. I was rather happy for that, because that way I didn't have to worry about normal water causing problems. Unfortunately, one of the slides injured my son's back, but after that he paid attention to only sliding on it while sitting down and it was no longer a problem. We were in room 118 and its location is really steep, but it was only difficult to get up the first two days, after that we walked up or took a taxi without any problems. Spinalonga is definitely not to be missed, even the children really enjoyed the historic place. Elounda cannot be called cheap, souvenirs and especially clothes are very expensive, but the restaurants are surprisingly cheap and cook excellently. Not sure if next year, but we will definitely come back here again with great pleasure.

Just returned from the Beautiful Island of Crete, having enjoyed the beautiful weather & the hospitality awarded by the locals to our Family, Grand Children & Us Oldies! We stayed in the Elounda Water Park Residence and this place certainly was the "glue" which pulled everything together we expected from the island and truly made the holiday the relaxing experience we hoped. Arriving in the dark, we were amazed at the Stunning views from our rooms in the morning - we never tired of that view. The rooms we were given were 1st rate, very clean & modern. Cleaned daily to the highest standards. All the staff of the Residence were very attentive & hard working making sure everything was to be the very best it could be. The pools, bars, restaurants, animation team were great. This place really did provide a personal, homely feel that is not generally evident in the large all-inclusive complexes. It was like you were part of their family. The town of Elounda was a wonderful place to spend time if you choose to wander out - lovely bars & eating places, beaches all you could want but not swamped with people - very chilled. Would We return to Elounda and the Elounda Water Park Residence ? - Try and stop us!!!!

darren roberts

I'll start with the positive the managers son was very accommodating and tried his best to help, but some of the reception staff were very dismissive. You would ask for something to be dealt with, and they would write it in a book and dismiss you by looking away. The food was average for all inclusive but found ourselves getting bored of similar food and eating out. The negative, we were put in a 1970s style holiday camp chalets with broken air conditioning, smelly bathroom, sockets hanging off wall and holes to back of other sockets. I was also unable to close the door to the balcony so any air conditioning was always going to fail. I complained and was shown another chalets in similar condition. I declined and was upgraded to a family room. This had 2 air conditioning unit but only 1 worked. I was promised it would be fixed. It wasn't until I call the tour company that this was repaired somewhat. The toilet had to be squeezed into due to the layout and a socket above the kitchen sink was hanging off the wall. The park is build on a hill side and has very steep walks to get to anything other than the top pool and dining area. The pools are salt water so if this is not your thing beware. The whole place is a bit run down but they are building new apartments which look very new. The bar doesn't open until 11 so I hope you don't get thirsty or you will need to buy drinks from the onsite shop. I could continue but please be aware this is not a hotel and 2/3 stars at very best. Would I recommend this place - NO and I'm easily pleased normally. Crete was beautiful outside and away from this hotel.

emma robinson

We stayed here with 11 of us in 3 family rooms, with a mix from ages 8 to 15. On paper this hotel could be brilliant but it’s lacking the extra touch. Some of the reception staff was unbelievably rude, we had to go numerous times to ask for our towels changing as the cleaners was very hit and miss, our beds was only changed once in the two weeks. When you told the receptionist they hadn’t been they had a shoulder shrug attitude about it, as if they were aware this was a problem! We had 3 family rooms but on arrival was put in two family and one twin, but after having to complaint and multiple trips to reception been asked to come back tomorrow this was sorted (this seemed to happen to lots of guests) the 3 rooms we had was all very nice in the new block. Our main problem with this hotel was the food, some of which was ok on a main not very good. The restaurants lacked care and presentation. The evening meal wasn’t set and was often sat around dirty tables. There was nothing that had a wow factor at all just all very average. The snack bar wasn’t horrendous but not great. Most of the chips/snack food was cold but they was stack the trays high and left it to go cold rather than filling little and often. One day I asked the staff member if the had and more chips because these was all flat cold she said yes they go cold fast, so went to get some and filled them on the cold chips 🤯. Lots of the staff were young summer jobs. And although polite they didn’t really seem to care. Two of the men and woman who worked in the day that worked on the top pool bar was really nice, had great hospitality! If the hotel was run by these it would be brilliant!! A older woman who worked on this bar was rude though, could be heard many times having run in with guests, I think she just had an abrupt manner. She gave me the wrong drink once when I said oh sorry I didn’t ask for that, she tutted and said go drink that come back for another. The all inclusive drinks were the worst I’ve had ever in a a 3*, the quality wasn’t great. Cocktails served in cheap tiny disposable cups. Unless you bought them. Glasses were like gold dust in this hotel. I understand that of your in a pool area it can’t be glass but if you bought the drinks they came in a nice beer or cocktail plastic cup but the all inclusive was terrible. Round the pool in the day not one cleans through the day round so you end up with lots of rubbish around. This hotel is n a quiet pretty town, it’s 15/20 min walk down to the town with children and a very steep walk back up so we got a taxi which wasn’t a problem. We ended up eating out lots and didn’t have a bad meal in the town was beautiful. The hotel is on a hill, so not underestimated how many steps and climbs there are. It’s not for the faint hearted! Pools are salt water so you need googles and don’t take white as it colours them. Entertainment was in French even if it had of been in English wasn’t great on a night. Highlights were the Greek night and BBQ night. There are plenty of facilities in this hotel, but the service, entertainment and food lacked.

Tegan Ryan

Great stay! Fantastic location as no big hills to get down to the beach, great resort! Only downside was pool was pretty chilly but as you’re so close to the beach it’s not really an issue.

Rin

Only reason for two stars is because of the friendly staff. The place is seriously lacking in general upkeep and maintenance. 80% of the sun beds are broken in some way or the other. Broken/cracked floor tiles everywhere including inside pools. Some of these tiles have been left as is and have sharp points and edges cause cuts to feet. The glass balustrades many of them have cracks or chips around them making them unsafe to keep. Water pressure in the bathroom is okay and no temperature fluctuations which is ideal with sun burnt skin. Staff were phenomenal and the only reason they get two stars, however management are to blame for lack of up keep. Its not always about the money.... invest in what you owe. Food is okay. Salads are probably stored next to fish cause there was a pungent fish smell coming from all cold dishes (salad, sandwich meats etc) Anyways. Overall an okay stay for price paid however but there are other places that would most likely offer more for the same price if not a little bit more.

The restaurant needs a deep clean. The coffee machines need to be descaled. There are NO kettles or complementary coffee/tea sachets in the rooms in this 4* hotel…the carpet in the hallway is filthy and needs to be changed. The lifts are ridiculously small considering there are mostly families staying. We had to wait up to 15 minutes for a free lift with a baby in a pushchair. At times I wanted to carry the pushchair down the stairs myself. Food is pretty decent. There are a few pools you can stay at which is nice. There are a few really nice spots to take pictures. All the staff is really nice. It’s really clear that this hotel operates based on quantity and not quality. My expectations were different based on how much I paid for this holiday. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Marta Cobos-Arrivabene

Location is superb. Service in reception was great as in the restaurant. Good quality food but no so good on drinks Rooms were a bit dirty. Short staffed, so staff does a quick job. Don't refill shower gel/toilet paper...or clean the floor. Shower was dripping brown from walls on our first shower.... Main reception was clean but communal toilets very dirty. Dispensers broken and never fixed. Corridors in the outside area to the rooms were shockingly dirty too

Belle Roberts

I wish I could say this was a pleasant stay for our Christmas holiday 22/12/24-29/12/24 but this couldn't be further from the truth. Levels of cleanliness were absolutely appalling. Rooms not cleaned to a good standard and did not have that lovely fresh smell upon entry. 'Fresh' towels smell musty and bed sheets not changed once. We even had mould in our kettle! No coffee or tea left in rooms. Bins are left overflowing around the hotel, with rubbish and dirty cups left outside rooms. Shockingly, broken glass left on the floor, despite reading another review where somebody had cut their glass badly due to broken glass, clearly staff didn't learn! Hotel overall is tatty and needs tidying up, pool tiles and floor tiles cracked and broken. Paint peeling off the walls everywhere you look. Shockingly, the safes in the rooms are charged at €4.50 per day, which should be included for a supposed 4 star hotel. WiFi did not work the entire time depiste speaking to staff 4 times. We attempted to complain to a receptionist and his response was 'what can I do, I am only receptionist'. These staff have no care or consideration at all. Food is bland, cold or raw. You would expect turning up to dinner at the earliest time available it would be hot but no. Food is not fresh and nothing seasoned so everything just tastes bland. Pools freezing so cant even use them. They are NOT heated. The sea was warmer! Do not waste your money here! This is not 4 star standard. Photos speak for themselves.

Humaira Khan

Upon arriving at the hotel, everything was perfect. I was greeted by the staff and promptly shown to my room. Special mention goes to Abdul Hamid, the cleaning staff who was on stand by and made us feel comfortable at all times. Any requests we had was fulfilled without any issues by Abdul. Really warm and kind and went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. Would book again.

Keith

1st trip to Egypt, lovely hotel, although dated in places, could do with a freshen up. The staff in the Massage & Spa are brilliant. 3 treatments and I'm feeling on top form. Thank you. Shout out to the member of staff who looked after our room( 1212) WONDERFUL Spotlessly clean every day. Thanks so much to reception staff that organised Flowers And birthday celebrations for my wife. She loved them Thank you for a wonderful fantastic holiday,

Hamza Raz

Do not stay in this hotel. The rooms are disgusting. Dead mosquitos everywhere and other insects in room after housekeeping. Old outdated rooms and very smelly. The hotel itself needs an upgrade and a proper clean. Management are rude and the manager prefers to deal with female complaints and requests. A bit suspicious some would say. Staff are confused and seem they all just follow orders rather than help on their own accord . Food is not edible if you have stayed at resorts before with fresh food. My advice is to stay away from this hotel. Wrong rating and area around hotel is just terrible.

Kulvinder Sodhi

This is a fantastic hotel . Staff are very lovely kind and friendly we had an Incident and they were marvellous at helping us out when unfortunately we needed hospital treatment. The hotel manager and the hospital relations manager visited us and provided complete support and help during this difficult time ( sent us a beautiful flower bouquet and a basket of fruit) provided full taxi service to and from hotel at no charge to us. Very genuine honest friendly staff throughout the hotel.

Kay May

Where do you start RECEPTION ignorant staff who don't give a sxxt on there service or interested in complaints ROOMS bedsheets that hadn't been cleaned or changed. hairs on them .bathroom disgusting toilet and bath The smell of raw sewerage and drain continuous from bathroom. FOOD selection of fruit / bread . And some more unedible delights .. This hotel should be avoided at all costs not a 5star 3days of sickness and diarrhoea

Norbert Synal

for me and my girlfriend is a very beautiful place. Very nice animators, they are very fresh... Jan 2025 This hotel is very nice, very comfortable rooms and very nice people work in here. I think i come back again to this hotel. That's 5 of the 5 points!! The drink and food are very tasty and fresh. That's place have a beautiful beach. have a 3 swimming pool.

Aida Koishan

That's place is my favorite in Egypt! I love it this place! Jan 2025 beautiful hotel close to the beach. Very good food, very nice people and staff, very nice animators. Wonderful days spent in a beautiful place, the hotel is very clean and well-kept. The pools are beautiful and warm. I recommend this place to anyone who dreams of a perfect vocation

Agata Lipniak

We recently stayed at Barceló Tiran Sharm as a family with a young child. The hotel is quite dated but clean, which we appreciated. However, there were some issues during our stay. The handle on the balcony door kept falling off, and our room door worked without needing the key card. While staff sent someone to fix these problems several times, they were not resolved. The staff overall were amazing and made our stay memorable. We especially want to thank Ibrahim, who kept our room spotless and pleasant, and Ahmed from the Kids Corner in the restaurant, who spoke “cat language” to our son and turned our meals into a highlight of the day. The animation team was a mix of fantastic and underwhelming. The boys and Saio were great - very professional and engaging. On the other hand, the brunette hosting darts seemed more focused on her watch than the guests. Natasha in the mini-club didn’t show any interest in entertaining our son, even though we were the only guests there. We had to ask for things like painting supplies ourselves, and in the end, she announced we had 7 minutes left before asking us to leave. The food was delicious and varied, with something for everyone, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Despite the issues with maintenance and some parts of the animation team, we had a really good stay thanks to the friendly staff, good food, and beautiful setting.

Jonathan G

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The food is spectacular, with a great variety of delicious options to suit all tastes. The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach and the main attractions in the area. However, what truly stands out is the service: the staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. A special mention goes to the animation team, who made our experience even more memorable with their fun activities and contagious energy. They truly made each day extra special!

Riham Ebrahim

I truly enjoyed my stay. The beach is absolutely perfect. The food is beyond delicious. The waiters are extremely friendly. Restaurant Manager Mr Bassem kept checking on the perfection of every detail at the restaurant. Animation team is nice and friendly. The receptionists are very helpful. Highly recommended hotel if you are looking for peace and quiet.

Agnieszka Kaczmarek

hotel definitely below European standards cleanliness in rooms and generally in the recreation area below standards. The hotel needs renovation. Food is average, very monotonous and the choice is quite modest. If someone has purchased all inclusive, they must be prepared for quite high additional costs after 23 everything is payable and the choice of cocktails is quite modest. The number of available sunbeds by the pools is very limited and evenings with animators end around 23 despite the fact that it is a hotel for "adults". The biggest advantage is the location, the views are breathtaking and this would be the only plus of this hotel.

KujoTheUnderDog

I certainly wouldn't call this a 4-star hotel. The staff are fabulous, and the food is good, for all-inclusive, but the rooms are dated, the bed was horrifically uncomfortable, the bathrooms are a bit grotty, and the booze is low quality. "All-inclusive" cocktails are still charged at half price, are not well made, and do not use decent ingredients. Better cocktails can be found pretty much anywhere else nearby. The sunset is beautiful, though, and the evening entertainment is quite good.

Mumuree

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The two pools were perfect for relaxing, and the food was delicious with a great variety of options. The customer service was exceptional—staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Highly recommend!

Tania Marin

We stayed for 7days. The food was really bad. We’ve had half board and the food was really greasy and almost the same every day. Also the glasses that we were drinking were really dirty. We’ve stayed on the first floor, we didn’t have a balcony and it was really hard to dry our beachwear because no direct sunlight was entering that room. Beds and pillows really uncomfortable and the room was looking really outdated. Also, you can hear everything from the other rooms. Definitely the hotel needs an upgrade because it doesn’t look like a 4star hotel, every piece of furniture is really oldand looks bad. The pool and the location was nice.

Darren Till

Dated, not a 4 star as advertised... food was good, drinks are terrible... we were disappointed as we have stayed in much better 3 stars... beware the tourist tax.. €7 per night for a 4 star hotel, we paid €140 for our 2 rooms before we even got to the rooms... it seems everything is money now in Greece and it's expensive... we were all inclusive and still managed to spend £800. Island location is beautiful but I am afraid this was our last trip to Greece 🇬🇷

Elaine Bonnici

We had a wonderful stay at dB San Antonio Hotel & Spa. The room was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—truly a home away from home. The staff was very friendly and supportive to my parents, especially my mum who uses a wheelchair. We had some fantastic dining recommendations and New Year's Eve celebration will surly be a memorable one. The all inclusive concept offered a huge variety of buffet options. All dining experiences were delicious. The use of the Spa gives you a warm welcome and it is the perfect hideaway from reality to relaxation, thanks to the efficient staff service they offer. The location of the hotel is perfect for a nice walk down the promenade and close to any amenities needed. Thank you for an exceptional experience; we can’t wait to return!"

ankur kumar

I spent two weeks here during Christmas time and it was a very good experience. This place has very good staffs, food services and the location is quite good. It has a nearby bus stand and this place is along with waterfront. You can easily find all the amenities around this hotel. The place has indoor as well as outdoor swimming pool. Overall I am very happy with the services. They have various cultural programs happening in the bar.

Donna Bromley

Very nice hotel. Central to amenities. Housekeeper Maria was very obliging and done a very goid job of cleaning the room. Ana Marie in the main dining room was very helpful and greeted us every day, always with a smile on her face. Staff at the spa were very helpful and good at their job. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we will be back again.

Carol Workplace

The hotel room was a little disappointing and is in desperate need of some updating. The area was quiet but at the same time has a fair amount to do. The food and all inclusive service was really good. Overall the service was great in the hotel itself!! But the lady in the gym was not very hospitable when I asked about the opening times, until her manager stepped in and assisted. On the contrast, in the hotel itself I especially liked the customer service which was given by Natacha at the front desk. She was so helpful when it came to assisting my husband with the purchase of a bouquet of flowers for me and also helped me with the transportation of the flowers back home. I really appreciate what she has done and the hotel is so fortunate to have her 👍🏾. Also Michael in the restaurant was excellent!! He addressed each person in their own language and always was smiling. He is a true example of great customer service. I enjoyed the service here and it was definitely a plus for the hotel. Thank you so much for making our stay a great one.

Irene Komissarova

Great hotel, the location is perfect, offering breathtaking views and easy access to all major attractions. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service. I would especially like to thank Santosh for going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. His warm and professional approach truly made me feel welcome and valued. The food was delicious, with a great variety to choose from every day. The entire staff was attentive and always ready to assist.

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.

Auveen G

Had such a lovely week here, I decided to extend my stay by another 4 days. Hotel was lovely & kept very clean. Had an amazing room overlooking the beach & the pool & the balcony was my happy place for the entire January holiday!! Staff were very friendly & helpful and I would highly recommend. Close proximity to loads of bars, restaurants & shops, but be sure to ask at reception about a shortcut to the Sól caffe as that shortcut is a game changer for access to the shops, bars & restaurants. Huge thank you to Rui on reception ( apologies, as i have probably spelled his name wrong) for sorting out my extended stay.... (I am back with the polar bears & penguins now again 😂)

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.

Tracy Lawford

Lovely hotel. Amazing service.. Room had mini fridge, coffee maker, kettle, tea, coffee, iron and board, shampoo, conditioner, beach towels, bathrobes and slippers. Food was plentiful and some lol.... beach at hotel slightly rocky but not too far to sandy beach and harbour (20-30 beachfront walk).. hotel has spa, gym, indoor pool, cycle hire, 3 bowling greens, tennis court, putting course, dance room..

Danny Wilson

We stayed for 10 nights. The price seemed expensive at the time, however we'll worth it. Guaranteed sunbeds at the pool and private beach area all free of charge, we only got bed and breakfast however the breakfast was great. Rooms cleaned every day and we were provided with fresh towels and soaps daily. The hotel also had a gym and spa, indoor pool all free of charge. The hotel was beautiful inside and well maintained. The room was ample size and the air con was a life saver! Only downside is that it is far from a decent sandy beach and far from the harbour with all the restaurants, however there are a few good restaurants nearby and it's only a 40 minute walk across. Definitely would come back again.

Sheena Taylor

Expensive compared to other hotels but adult only & was fabulous. Rooms spacious, food great & alternative restaurants were excellent. Plenty of bar staff, entertainment each evening: singers, BBQ, magician etc. Plenty of sunbeds available. Lovely coastal path that you can walk to The Harbour 30 mins, lots of bars & restaurants & shops. Hotel staff lovely & friendly & was quiet during the day which is what we wanted. Would recommend

We were happy with every aspect of the hotel , the staff were friendly, the rooms and service were good & we even got a free upgrade to a suite with it being our honeymoon! The only downside of the hotel in our opinion was the vile pensioners who would tut and talk amongst themselves as my wife passed them in a bikini! Also at the dinner table if she decided to wear a nice dress. So the only negative part of this review is the guests. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and the food was amazing. Defo recommended this place for a quiet and relaxing holiday, but if your young beware you will get stared and tutted at by the oldies!

We have stayed here twice before and have booked to return in May next year. Simply cannot fault this hotel for a relaxed adults only break. It is a lovely walk along the sea front to the harbour if you wish to dine out in the evening; if not then dining in the hotel won't disappoint either. Highly recommended.

A long transfer but well worth the wait! From the second we walked in everything was perfect! Used the online check-in facility which was easy to use and when we arrived at reception there was nothing to do other than start our holiday. The staff are incredible - friendly, welcoming and professional - nothing was too much trouble! They were amazing with our grandkids too! We couldn’t fault the food, plenty of choice everyday, service amazing! 🤩 the entertainment team were first Class - Ramos was fabulous! All the activities were great! We will definitely be coming back!

It's a nice hotel but the rooms need a bit of updating. Around the handles of the wardrobe, the colour had worn off. Around the sink in the bathroom was the same. Although there was a kettle and a bottle of water ,there were no complimentary beverages such as tea and coffee. Did mention to reception but never received them. Luckily, we brought some tea bags with us. Overall, we did enjoy our stay. The staff at reception were very polite. Likewise, the waiters,cleaners and the staff at the Spa and Massaúge Parlour. They did a wonderful job and I'd recommend this . You get more than your monies worth . Keep up the good job 👏

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.

From the time we arrived, the reception staff have been very attentive. The entertainment staff are very friendly and always have ways of getting everyone involved even the children. The bar staff have been exceptional, they always make us laugh and are very attentive. The dining room staff have also been so lovely they're also very attentive and happy to serve 😊. Cleaning staff leave our room and leave little decoration on the bed most nights 🌙. Thank you everyone for all your hard work everyone 😊

If you want to escape from everyday life with year round sun, away from the city centre, then this is an excellent choice. Each member of staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The chefs cater for all tastes. There are activities for all ages. You can get water 24/7 from water fountains in each corridor close to your room, the rooms are very comfortable with hot powerful showers and you have various seating areas to enjoy the evening with heaters, or you can be indoors relaxing, either watching a show or in the bar. There are also quiet areas for anyone who wishes to have alone time, the hotel is very secure with 24 hour reception who are very welcoming and the entertainment team put on daily shows with different themes. The hotel is kept very clean. You can have a fantastic holiday in a beautiful setting, the choice is yours if you want to partake in any activities or just totally relax by the adult only pool. Either way I totally recommend staying here.

Our second visit, and we're planning a third. Love this place. Good, honest, clean hotel with excellent staff, lovely food and a good atmosphere. There's plenty to do if you're a busy person. We come here in January as we prefer it a bit quieter but the activities are all still on. We just come here to relax and unwind and enjoy a bit of winter sun.

I spent 3 nights at Iberostar and had a wonderful stay. The staff were friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The rooms were comfortable and clean, perfect for relaxing. The food was great, and the view was amazing. The hotel had plenty of activities to enjoy, which made the stay even more enjoyable. It was a peaceful and relaxing experience, and I would definitely return.

An excellent hotel, largely thanks to the quality of its staff. They go above and beyond to ensure a convenient and enjoyable stay. There’s a wide range of activities to choose from—we tried swimming, ping pong, golf, and archery, all of which were great fun. A special mention goes to the Brazilian dance group and the hotel staff for their fantastic efforts in engaging travelers. It truly added to the overall experience! As vegetarians, we managed well with the food options, and the staff went out of their way to make things even more convenient for us. Although the hotel is located a bit away from the main market, they offer a free shuttle service, which made transportation easy. Plus, for activities, they provide hotel pick-up, so location wasn’t much of an issue. We also tried the spa and hammam, which were of excellent quality. While slightly more expensive than outside options, the experience was well worth it. Overall, it was an amazing stay, and I look forward to returning in the future!
