Had a great time, would recommend!
Pros:

We liked the location of the hotel, also the view and access to the pool through the balcony door. The location was superb and we were surprised by the renewed bathroom. Also the cat was very cuddly. :)

Cons:

A few more kitchen appliances would make our stay even better. More knives and a cutting board for example. We also expected there to be some cleaning cleaning supplies (a sponge, detergent...), and some essential ingredients for cooking (salt, pepper, oil...).

Pros:

La posizione era ottima, avevamo il balcone affacciato alla piscina e al mare. Lo staff era molto accogliente.

Cons:

Purtroppo devo lamentarmi sulla pulizia perché la stanza era sporca, c’era la polvere e le asciugamani erano sporche. C’era sempre puzza di muffa e scarico soprattutto in bagno. Inoltre dalle foto la stanza sembrava molto più grande.

Super freundliches Personal, immer ein Spaß auf den Lippen. Es halfen immer alle bei etwaigen Fragen, alles war sehr unk
Pros:

Der sehr freundliche Chef, das Personal freundlich und die Strandlage.

Cons:

Für eine Gruppe von 5 Leuten war die Wohneinheit zu klein. 1 Zimmer konnte nicht klimatisiert werden da die Klimaanlage im Schlafzimmer ist. Grundsätzlich war es für unseren Trip ausreichend. Dass das Zimmer und Bad sehr in die Jahre gekommen ist.

Pros:

Im Laplaya Beach Hotel wird Gastfreundschaft groß geschrieben. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und die Wünsche wurden von unseren Augen abgelesen. Die Zimmer waren super sauber. Das Strandabteil einfach nur schön und die Liegen super gemütlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Déçu par cet hôtel
Pros:

Balcon avec vue sur mer. Accès facile à la piscine et à la plage. Parking gratuit. Restaurants assez variés à proximité.

Cons:

Kitchenette minimaliste, quasi inexploitable car très mal équipée. Le système d'eau chaude est visiblement sous-dimensionné pour l'hôtel (pas d'eau chaude en soirée, ni le matin). Pas d'espace dans la salle de bain pour poser ses affaires de toilette (pas de tablette). Chambres mal insonorisées, votre tranquillité dépendra de discrétion (ou non) de vos voisins.

Pros:

The hotel delivered what made us choose it: location right in front of the beach, pool, nearby a broad offer of restaurants and other commodities. We were also positively impress by the service minded personnel. However, the cleaning was poor. The floor was often full of sand and dust were never cleaned from the surfaces.

Pros:

Freundliches Personal. Tolle Lage. Direkt am Meer, fussläufig alles super zu erreichen. Hier und das braucht es aber dringend Instandhaltung. Auch ein wenig sauberer hätte es unterm Bett sein können. Mobiliar schon sehr veraltet. Dennoch, wir würden wieder kommen.

Top Lage!!!
Pros:

Top Lage. Direkt am Strand und man erreicht Tavernas und Shops in wenigen Gehminuten. Das Personal ist freundlich und lustig. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und mit dem notwendigsten ausgestattet. Der Pool ist sauber und die Anlage ist gepflegt. Der Strand ist sauber und schön.

Cons:

Die Temperatur der Dusche ist nicht regulierbar, es wechselt zwischen Kalt und Heiß. Meiner Tochter wurde aus Versehen das T-Shirt mit der Bettwäsche mitgenommen. Leider war niemand sehr bemüht es zu finden, oder es uns zu ersetzten. Sehr schade.
