We stayed at the hotel in October 2009. The weather was very good, no rain, a gentle breeze blowing most of the time.
We booked the holiday there because we had stayed at the complex eight years previously and enjoyed our stay, but that was on self catering only.
But oh we're we so dissappointed with all of the hotel.
Yes they had revamped the hotel, seeing as it had been closed for two years ... so we we're informed ... but all that had been altered was the reception area and a different entrance which now consists of an Italian Restaurant and some shops totally unconnected with the aparthotel.
The rooms ........ these we're okay, but a new sink in a twenty year old bathroom is not what we call modernisation. The bathroom smelt of urine all the time, the large mirror was never cleaned during the 11 nights we spent there. On the whole the bathroom needed completely ripping out and replacing.
The front door was in need of restoration as it was down to the bare wood.
The bedroom was a good size but .......... one night my wife was counting the number of holes in the sheets and the bed cover.
The lounge was a good size. The TV worked but you had to pay to see any channels.
The kitchen sadly needed replacing and was so out of date. Rusty and warped drawers.
The patio was a good size but the furniture was sadly in need of replacement.
The view from our room (number 2300) was fantastic, if you like the local trees that blocked everything out.
The pools we're sadly in need of replacing because the children had invented a variant on the diving for shells .......... they dived to retrive the loose tiles from the bottom of the pools, leaving "gaping" holes at the bottom.
The sunloungers were dirty and most we're broken, the smaller pool had better quality sunloungers but we're never cleaned.
The pools themselves we're cleaned once during our 11 night stay.
But if you need a job apply for the post of "lifeguard" Why ? because he keeps a private stock of holidaymakers books all for himself. Books that should be available to the people on holiday, but he keeps them locked away all for himself. I counted well over one hundred, while in the bar area us holiday people had the choice of about twenty books.
The bar area ........... with two large screen TV's ......... the staff keep the remotes away from the holiday makers just in case they change channels to some English speaking channel, so most of the time you need to either speak or understand Spanish.
Saving the best to last .............. we christened it " the cafeteerrrriaaaaaaaaa" ......... because thats the best description !!
Check in any information brouchure and its hardly mentioned ......... why ? ......... because it's underground !!!! yes underground. No windows, the AC is only put on when they get complaints from overheated holidaymakers, the food was luke warm and greasy. Chips EVERY night. the bread rolls we're hard. we had one good night when they put on canarian potatoes, and tuna.
All the staff in the cafffeettteerrriiiiaaaaaaaaa were miserable.
I just hope people read our report before booking, because if we had read this we would definately not have booked to go there.
We we're counting the number of sleeps before we came home.
Hope this information helps anyone contemplating a holiday there.
