    noise levels

    The atmosphere was truly delightful! I adored how the staff paid attention to every detail during our stay, especially the show-cooking moments at breakfast, with delicious omelets and fresh mimosas 🍾. The access to the beach was serene, and the entertainment was top-notch for Halloween festivities, showing tremendous effort.

    There were times when the noise levels from the dining areas could be quite overwhelming, especially during peak hours.

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

    I absolutely loved the direct access to the beach, making it effortless to enjoy the sun and surf. The show-cooking area in the restaurant was a real highlight, where I savored freshly made omelettes each morning. Plus, the family-friendly aqua slides were pure fun for my kids, keeping them entertained all day long!

    excellent access to beach and park with nearby attractions

    I loved the short walk of less than 5 minutes to the beach and the peaceful environment of parque de los lagos just about 1.5 km away, which made my weekend strolls super enjoyable and relaxing. the staff were incredibly friendly, helping create a warm atmosphere that added to our overall experience.

    This hotel features multiple swimming pools, including a spacious outdoor option, which were great for keeping the kids entertained. The spacious family rooms provided enough comfort for all of us to relax well after a day of fun in the sun.

    The indoor pool felt really cramped and became quite busy, which wasn't ideal for a peaceful swim. During peak meal times, the noise levels in the dining area soared. The food variety was lacking, with repeated options that left us craving something different by the end of our stay. I also found the Wi-Fi access to be slow and spotty, which was annoying when trying to plan our next outings. It felt overly crowded at times, especially during peak hours, and the dining experience took a hit as a result.

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    good tv reception
    dated decor
    noisy night

    The room was quite spacious, and the bed was really comfortable, which was a big plus for me. I liked that it had a good TV reception too. It was mostly quiet, allowing my nervous dog to relax, except for Friday night when it got a bit busy but still bearable. I just noticed the decor felt dated and could use some refreshment. solid, but not perfect.
