A good time at Havienda Del Mar
Pros:

Great resort with some really great employees. Alan from Tortugas Restarant allowed us to stay in our pool lounges and still get excellent lunch service! Thank you Alan!

The recreation department was terrific. Alejandro made me an ankle band to wear home and remind me of wonderful memories. Nathalie, our water aerobics instructor was inspirational AND she had a beautiful voice when she sang along with her favorite songs! Thank you Rec department!

Go into pitahyas restaurant and get the best service from Naftali or have breakfast at Tomtoes and be met by Fatima’s smiling face.

The staff is not only friendly but also competent. Nothing to complain about here!

Great time had by all
Pros:

Beautiful property in a great location. Be aware the hotel is rebranding from Kempinski to Melia and will be closed from Oct 1, 2025 until April1 , 2026 when it reopens under the Melia banner. Hope a large portion of the staff is retained as the service and hospitality were awesome (especially the breakfast ladies!)

Farewell Kempinski
Pros:

Lovely hotel right on the beach with fabulous gardens and pool. Well appointed rooms. Quiet location 8-10euro cab ride from town.

If i had to gribble then i would suggest that accessible access for the disabled to the gardens and pool is not good with a steep slope and uneven crazy paved path. The alternative is lots of steps. Either way its not good. I couldn’t see a pool hoist for those in need.

Sadly the hotel will close for the winter as the new owners Melia come in. Let us hope they keep the quality and improve the accessibility in their improvements.
