Pros:

Just viewed nothing added for such a price

Cons:

The hotel was very noisy and not at all a suitable place for rest; reaching the room involved navigating numerous flights of stairs along an uneven path. The mattress was lumpy and uneven, and ants were crawling everywhere—we even had to throw away our food because the infestation had spread to our suitcases. Although we didn't consume anything there, they billed us for items we hadn't used; be careful, as it is not a safe place, and they arbitrarily add extra charges.

A touch of luxury in a beautiful setting
Pros:

From arrival to departure, the team at El Oceano worked hard to ensure that our stay was perfect.

Staff from poolside, to restaurant, to front of house, to cleaning, provided a professional, friendly service that really was first class.

The chefs created delicious, high quality food served with stunning ocean views.

It’s far from the cheapest holiday I’ve had but it’s undoubtedly one of the very best.

I hope to become one of the frequently return guests!

Pros:

Location, cleanliness, atmosphere, value for money all very good

Cons:

The location of our room right next to the bar meant there was a lot of noise until the early hours which wasn’t great when trying to sleep

A 3 star experience at a 5-star price.
Pros:

Lovely room with nice soft towel’s
swimming pool small but very clean and warm
Full English breakfast was very nice
Music around pool was nice and not to loud
our room had a nice corner sea view

Cons:

Very expensive at €425 per night for what is offered

No complimentary bottled water in the room — guests have to buy their own

The attractive white poolside sunbeds shown in the photos cost an extra €80 per day. Included sunbeds are positioned off to the side with no view of the pool

Sunday was extremely loud due to the hotel’s all-day/evening event, with many guests visibly drunk

No lift

Reception area is very small and cluttered and felt more like a kiosk and you had to checkin whilst on the stairs

Sunday Check-in felt rushed because the hotel was so busy with daytime guests for the Sunday event

Beach directly outside is very rocky and
Around a 15-minute walk to reach a small sandy section of beach

supermarket 20 min walk

Uncomfortable pillows

Spa and gym are extremely small and not particularly inviting

Coffee and orange juice had a strange taste

Our breakfast table was extremely wobbly and couldn’t be fixed after two attempts

You were not allowed to have breakfast out in the terrace

Reception, bar, restaurant and entertainment areas all merge together, so there is nowhere really to escape the music

Lovely location, peaceful and with stunning views.
Pros:

Beautiful sea views from the pool area, very tranquil and the restaurant views are stunning also. Easy access to to the boardwalk to walk to the beach.

Cons:

Slightly overpriced for the quality and size. I booked a studio which didn’t have any sea views and didn’t realise it was in a separate building. Asked about sea view room and was offered for an extra €100 per night which was way too expensive. Late checkout not available on request either. The lady at reception didn’t go out of her way to make you feel special, customer service needs a bit of work.

Outstanding hotel.
Pros:

Great hotel, facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. There is a board walk between the hotel and beach which provides safe access to the beaches and a good exercise route to the adjacent beach resorts.

Cons:

The beaches are rocky and the sand is coarse or shingle in front of the hotel.
Food and drink is expensive, breakfast 18€, main courses 48€, bottle wine 28€.

Una maravilla
Pros:

Le personnel, la restauration, les piscines, la vue sur la mer, le confort et l'équipement des chambres : tout est excellent ! L’hôtel mériterait 5 étoiles !

Cons:

Rien, tout est excellent !
Je peux conseiller à l’hôtel de proposer une offre all inclusive peut-être (à réfléchir).
