Fabulous hotel, food not perfect

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Feb 2023via mobile
Cordial Mogan Playa is a lovely place to stay in Puerto Mogan, the hotel is laid out like a village of interesting accommodations, there are exotic trees and flowers everywhere, it is full of colour. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly and will do anything to assist, when we got to the hotel we found that the room was a twin and not a double, within an hour someone was in our room remaking the bed with a comfortable super king size memory foam topper. The two pool areas are one of the best features, both are heated in winter and are really well set out with plenty of sun beds and of course each pool has its own pool bar. The hotel is around 10 minutes walk to the beach and only slightly longer to the Marina. Entertainment in the hotel is limited to 45 minutes each evening starting at 9.30PM, they have some really good acts on but once they have finished the atmosphere dwindles as there is only piped music and an empty stage to look at. It is difficult to give this hotel anything but a 5 because many guests including ourselves go back year after year but the only issue I and many other wish they would sort out is the food. The main restaurant is a spacious modern setting with inside and outside seating and the food variety is very good, main problem is that they really don’t understand how to keep food hot once it is put out on the counters. Freshly cooked food which is cooked in front of you is always perfect but vegetables and anything left on the hot plates is often not hot enough. We chose porridge one morning from a full serving dish and it was nearly cold, we complained twice about the food to the assistant director who said he would monitor it but if made no difference so we decided to get a refund on our half board and go onto B & B. The method they use to keep the food hot just doesn’t work, hopefully they may sort this out for next year as a lot of people were complaining.
Date of stay: February 2023
Room Tip: There is a free underground car park you access with your room key so it’s good if you hire a car.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Return visit. We love this place. It’s very well managed. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Buffet is good quality. Pools are not to crowded. A couple of suggestions- the hotel is catering for a mostly over 60 crowd. It would be good to have a few more sports for older children on the animation programme e.g more frequent tennis, ping pong etc. at least in the school holidays. I’d also be very happy if the spa ran a ‘junior hour’ and let older children in at certain times with an adult (they offer this at the Radisson) - that would be very helpful for solo parents. Otherwise, I only have good things to say about this hotel.

Am just back from spending a week at this lovely hotel. My room was comfortable with a balcony overlooking the quiet pool. I discovered at the end of my stay that there was a fridge in my room!
Towels for the pool are provided and there is a policy of ‘ not booking a sun lounger with your towel’ until you are actually ready to use it! There are several bars and places for drinks and snacks, lots of activities - table tennis, tennis, to name a couple.
The restaurant was terrific and he staff couldn’t have been more helpful. There is something to tempt and satisfy everyone’s palate ! It’s possible to have a very healthy diet - or max out with waffles and deserts! Even a chocolate fountain for profiteroles (very irresistible) and fruit.
It’s a short walk/stroll down to the port, where a very pleasant hour or 4 can be spent mooching around - to book a boat trip and go watch the dolphins.
I’m planning a return visit next year - the winter sunshine (20 deg) was wonderful.

There is no doubt that Puerto de Mogan is a great place to go for lapping up a bit of winter sun in a very pretty town. There is also not doubt that this hotel is set in very nice grounds and in the man the staff are all very helpful. Everywhere is also very clean. However I'm not sure we will return. We stayed in a Junior suite and happily we had a good open view and realised we were very luck as some rooms are very dour and dark and consequently cold at this time of year. the breakfasts in the Blue Building we very good but sadly the buffet dinner in the main restaurant is only average at best. The meats and sides were invariably cold which was a great shame as the quality was usually OK. The only a la carte option is the expensive Michelin restaurant. My advice to anyone would be to NOT take the half board option but instead visit the many and varied local restaurants. We normally stay in a suite in the Canarian H10 hotels and here we get a welcome bottle of fizz, two bottles of water a day (not the stingy two on arrival) and a surprise gift each night. More importantly we get to eat in the a la carte restaurant if we book half board. TV reception in English language is also very good but not in Cordial I'm afraid. BBC1 generally Ok, but Film 4 and Channel 4 invariably not available or frozen - and that's it. No ITV or BBC2. I know you don't come on holiday to watch TV but on the odd evening (its dark at 7.00pm) its good to have a choice. Finally the suites are supposed to have a large double bed - but its actually two twins made up separately and shoved together.

So - in conclusion - the service here is not really 4 star as there are a lot of things missing compared to a comparable H10 hotel. I'm sure the management have had this feedback before but they do not seem able to do anything about it.

Room tip: Southern facing room if you want to see the sun & have a view.

We spent a week here in March 2022 and returned for a fortnight in January/February 2023. We are adventurous and usually like to go new places but we honestly loved this hotel so much. Highlights were the beautiful swimming pools and lush, glorious palm trees & garden foliage. You feel as if you’re at a spa! We only had breakfast here as we enjoy exploring the great restaurants nearby but the breakfast was great. The hotel is an easy short walk to the beachfront & marina and there are scores of lovely restaurants nearby. Overall it’s just so so relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

This was our second visit to Hotel Cordial Mogan Playa. We last came three years ago just as covid was beginning.

Although disappointed not to get a top floor room with a sunny balcony in requested block, our room on the first floor overlooking the quiet pool was lovely.

I am not going to repeat everything I said in my review last time but will highlight the things that I love best about this hotel. ..... the architecture is stunning for a start both inside and out. No beige/grey decor here. Colourful and quirky how we like it. Caves and waterfalls inside as well as out. The grounds and planting are also incredible... so glad I had an App on my camera to tell me what all the trees and flowers were.

Love the fact that there are decent sized mugs in the bedrooms for early morning tea. Love that I could have a proper bath. Comfy sunlounger mattresses.

Great food in the restaurant. There really is something for everything. We were so impressed with the evening buffet that we ate in nearly every evening. There are two sittings and we chose the latter as it was much quieter. We also went to breakfast earlyish to avoid the busy time.

However, the real improvement this time for us was the running of the lobby bar. So chaotic three years ago that we went out for our drinks but this year the bar ran like clockwork with gorgeous cocktails made with professional aplomb by Mihai and Andres; they are a credit to the hotel. Cocktails made from scratch... no premixies. Joyous.

We will be back.

As you rightly stated, our efforts are reflected in the continuous improvement of the services and we are glad that this time you were able to enjoy the speed and quality of the lobby bar service. Thank you very much for trusting us again and for appreciating our efforts and progress, it is words and encouragement like yours that encourage us to keep working on improving our services.

Our colourful architecture and our gorgeous cocktails await your return, it has been a pleasure to serve you and we look forward to your third visit, hopefully it won't be too long and we will see you very soon!

Kind regards,
