    A very good week - Its worth visting Almeria (there is a bus stop outside the hotel)
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Superior Triple Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Just a few minor things - the fridge in the room didn't get drinks cold enough - but I stress that is a minor issue. We tried to book a number of trips from the hotel but it seems that you have to make your own way to the pick-ups - in other places in Spain you can book tours to from your hotel, again this is a minor issue.

    The room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed the breakfast was very good with a wide choice - I liked the omlette station where you could get a made to order omlette. The staff were friendly and helpfull. There were a number of pools and there were enough sun loungers for the guests - the hotel grounds are pleasent and well maintained. There is also a bus stop outside the hotel so you can get a bus to Almeria the main town/city in the area - the moorish fort the Alcazaba is very good. The transfer from the airport is also quite short 10-15 mins appox.

    The Hot Tub was closed. I understand closing things and refurbishing for maintenance it the slower time of the year. But the Hot Tub if anything you service that in the peak of the hot season when you don't want a hot tub so much but the pool to cool off in. Also, git rid of the buffet at least for dinner. Loses it's appeal.

    So, many pools to enjoy, beach so close, and rooms were very nice. Food was good-see what I didn't like bellow about it.

    Smart hotel but scruffy location with few quality restaurants or shops nearby. Limited hotel food options in April but bar food and drinks good.

    Good solid hotel with good value food and drinks. Clean and tidy with pleasant staff. Good breakfast - excellent fresh orange juice! Free parking next door.

    There was no plug in the bath, I was looking forward to a nice hot bath to soak the aches and pains away. I thought the charge for parking was excessive 15€ for the night! 5€ to 8€ would be acceptable but 15€ !!

    The gym could be a little bigger. We were fine to three people but more would be too crowded. And dinner is served earliest at eight pm which is much too late for me. I had prefer the option to eat at six or seven.

    We liked that the hotel was directly on the beach with a nice pedestrian promenade for taking nice morning/evening walks along the sea.
