10/10 Exceptional

Bicycle facilities, staff friendly Rooms and hotel clean and comfortable Location good Festival hotel is great
Andrew, 11-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel very good
Colin, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was clean and generally quiet, its in a busy area with night clubs and bars so there was some noise but nothing that got in the way of sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in an area which seems to be very popular with German visitors so youll hear very little English spoken, not a bad thing given youre in a non-english spraking country. The transport links were good, with the airport bus and city bus stopping 200m from the hotel. Food options were pretty good, with varied evening options and a decent breakfast every day.

Friendly staff, plenty of choice for breakfast and dinner. Room was very clean. It was a bit far from Palma - 25 minutes on the bus, which stops just around the corner from the hotel, as does the A2 airport bus.

It was a quiet and peaceful enough stay but the breakfast options could be more varied.

MELANIE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean property and the staff was amazing. Room set up was great. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean and really liked the layout. The hotel is so close to the beach in a lively area. Or you can take a bus / 15-20 min cab ride to La Palma. You won’t get bored!

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great experience. Buffet spread and staff services are absolutely spot on. Do recommend going in for the full board option.

10/10 Exceptional

large room with wide bed proximity to the beach helpful staff large bathroom - small pool - cleaning - noise (and cigarette smoke) from drunk (German) groups
Martin, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel. Excellent location, 5 mins walk to beach and 3 mins walk from bus stop to get bus to Palma or airport. Staff friendly and helpful. Food very good and plenty of choice. The whole area of El Arenal seems to be full of Germans but that didn’t bother us - the staff at hotel and in nearby bars all spoke good English.

Fab hotel Clean and tidy A short taxi ride from the airport and regular bus service to palma. The food was exceptional massive choice and often something different every day. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and has a pool. No gym or spa. There seemed to be a lot of drunk germans about though
Anthony, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel rooms and pool area spotlessly clean. No problem getting sun beds only thing lacking is no kettle in rooms and shortage of hanging space for longer clothing
Valerie, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

It was fine for a cheap holiday. Would have been disappointed if it had been priced any higher .
Kirstin, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As an extra short notice holiday this was perfect. Reduced crowds enabled us to see the sights and visit locations that otherwise would be challenging logistically in high season. Can't pick the weather which was changeable however there was enough good weather to make the whole experience enjoyable
