Stayed in this hotel for a week and had a really lovely holiday. First thing to address is the food. I don’t understand what people are expecting, because I was really impressed with the vast range of different foods available every single day, and think many reviews have been unfair. This hotel is doing mass catering, buffet style, to several hundred people at every meal slot. It is not order from a menu restaurant style. While there, there was a different theme every single day: Asian theme, with a curry, vegetable sushi and bao buns, Italian night with pizzas, American night with burgers, Spanish night with tapas, patatas bravas, Spanish omelette, Seafood night with fresh mussels, clams, razor clams, prawns, Mexican night with chilli, wraps and nachos. Then, aside from these daily specials, you have some constants. In one area of the restaurant you have a buffet table that usually has a range of meats and cheeses, salad, and desserts. On the other side, you have the hot table, this changes daily but always includes hot veg and chips, with fish and meat options, and at the end of this is a pasta bar. There is also a fresh bread bar at every mealtime. Breakfast always included hot options (eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, potato), pancakes, porridge, fruit, pastries, yoghurt etc, then some specials like churros and waffles. There seemed to be paella every lunch time (on top of the cold and hot options, including pasta bar, salad bar and bread bar) which was divine. Honestly, what aren’t people eating? Beautiful fresh salads, every meat and cheese under the sun, a huge range of fish, and some of the hot meat options I remember where ribs, pork, curry, chicken skewers, sliced beef. There was honestly SO MUCH. Even the pickiest eaters could surely be happy with a range of breads, lovely salads, three types of pasta every day (one being plain that you could add to) cheese, chips etc The restaurant can be busy and a little hectic, but this is down to the clientele – there were lots of rude people who tried to bypass queues etc. Staff were brilliant at getting you seated and cleared away plates and reloaded food so quickly. Huge thank you to everyone! Plus, the majority of the restaurant had the beautiful views of the beach and sea, so a lovely way to eat. I did not notice any strong smells. There were juices, fizzy drinks, water, beer and wines all on tap, and you could buy fancier drinks if you wanted (fresh orange at breakfast, cocktails at night) There was a queue for opening – people wanting to eat the moment it opened at 7pm. Otherwise, not really much of a queue to get inside, unless a bigger group needing a bigger table. Now, everything else! I think this hotel is the best placed in the area, with the stunning beach just a couple of minutes away. Note – the beach beds at the beach (which have a security box and priced at 15.50 euros) is independent and not linked to the hotel. We didn’t pay extra for a sea view for our room, but it
