Categories

Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness: rooms and hotel described as very clean despite being older; housekeeping generally noted positively.
Service
8.8
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly and helpful by several guests, though a few comments mention some less-friendly employees; overall service is a strong point.
Location
9
Location is frequently noted as a positive (close to the beach, good views from sea-facing rooms); considered a key asset by guests.
Room Quality
8
Beds often described as comfortable and rooms spacious, but furniture and bathrooms noted as dated and one report of a balcony door not closing properly.
Amenities
6
Several negative mentions: pool is small and child-focused, gym equipment limited or out of service, no hotel loungers on the beach and pool bar closing early—amenities underwhelming for hotel size.
Value for Money
6.6
Mixed-to-negative sentiment: guests report repetitive/poor buffet offerings, limited included drinks (e.g., poor cocktails, no crushed ice), and lack of expected services (beach loungers), reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
5
Food repeatedly criticized: buffet described as repetitive, limited healthy options, low-quality grills and few good meal choices; some guests noted occasional good dishes but overall F&B is a weak point.
Overall Experience
10
Overall sentiment is mixed but leans positive on core aspects (cleanliness, friendly staff, location). Despite weaknesses in food and amenities, the strong positives led to a high aggregate experience score in this analysis.

Muito mau. Hotel não tem condições para 4 estrelas. No mínimo 3!
Pros:

De ser em frente a praia,.

Cons:

Hotel não tem serviços de hotel 4estrelas. Adquirimos pack tudo incluído. Pior TI de sempre. Apenas bebidas de pressão e de snacks, batata frita e amendoins salgados.sem acesso a lanches para as crianças.
A piscina e as condições são um atentado á saúde pública. Piscina pequena, sem profundidade e quantidade de água para acomodar o número de hóspedes do hotel.
Espreguiçadeiras sujas com terra e lama.
Sem informação da qualidade e temperatura da água.

Hotel
Pros:

La ubicación y algunas chicas del personal muy amables.

Cons:

OPINIÓN SINCERA Y REAL y sin exageraciones ¡MUY IMPORTANTE LEER!
voy a hablar con sinceridad desde mi perspectiva, si quereis disfrutar de unas buenas vacaciones y un buen hotel, este no es el vuestro, por primera vez en mi vida he de decir que no me voy contenta de un hotel, cogimos en pareja el todo incluido, la bebida de refresco son todas de grifo, el bar de la piscina cierra a las 19:30 y tendrias que subir al bar de dentro del hotel y que tiene horario de todo incluido hasta las 23:30 , el agua: botella por habitación y por dia, cockteles que no sé ni lo que eran porque yo en otros sitios he bebido cockteles reales... para acompañar solamente patatas y frutos secos, el tema de los snaks..... eso es otra cosa horario de 11: a 12:30 y de 16:30 a 17:30 y los snaks son en el comedor, no los puedes sacar fuera y son 4 bollos,hamburgesas que te tienes que preparar tú, salchichas y 4 cosas contadas incluida fruta y algo de embutido, las comidas cenas y desayunos carecen de variedad y lo que sobra de la comida lo aprovechan en la cena convertido en otra clase de plato ( muy decepcionante) cafés y zumos de maquinas expendedoras también (no hay nada natural), postres todos los dias lo mismo 4 pasteles de nata tipo bizcocho, helados de hotel de toda la vida tipo yogurt, 4 frutas 4 yogures y para de contar... asique el todo incluido no compensa, las habitaciones pues bueno no he dormido peor en mi vida con esos colchones que parecen piedra, rio en la parte de atrás que conecta con el mar, el rio lleno de mierda y con olor desagradable que sube a las habitaciones, piscina muy pequeña y actividades muy aburridas.... no merece la pena para 4 estrellas, el parking la mayoria de los dias completo y la cala de mijas se ve en un rato asique no os recomiendo nada.

Pros:

Hotel com boa localização, em frente à praia e perto de bares e restaurantes.
As refeições eram boas, com grande variedade e quantidades.
No geral gostámos da nossa estadia.

Cons:

O estacionamento muito reduzido, não conseguimos lugar durante nossa estadia. Por sorte conseguíamos sempre lugar nas ruas próximas do hotel.
Não usufruímos da piscina por ser demasiado pequena, mas para compensar íamos á praia que é bastante boa.
