Mediterraneo Bay Hotel & Resort

Hotel is beautiful. Very Spanish not many English but that’s not a bad thing as there’s no rush for getting sun beds. Food was delicious and all very fresh. The hotel and pool areas were all spotless. Such a lovely hotel we can’t wait to return.

I stayed here as a family of 3 adults 1 child during May half term. Overall the pools were fun for my child but I was disappointed for the price we paid. I will elaborate if you wish to read a long review... Check in - we arrived at 9.30 pm and Alba on reception was very friendly and helpful and sent us for dinner before checking us in as they finish serving at 10pm. Luis (who was great all week) helped us find the correct restaurant as there are 3 near the lobby. His English is limited but always very friendly and helpful. Things then went downhill as the lady at the restaurant insisted on a room number or wristband but we hasn't checked in yet, we persuaded her eventually but she struggled to understand why I hadn't checked in yet. Room- was a good size, clean and had the sea view we paid for. The Balcony chairs were a bit flimsy and the balcony wall was a bit dirty. Again things went downhill in term of the door lock. The handle had been loose and difficult to get the door to open from arrival but twice during the holiday we were locked out of the room due to the door lock being faulty - this was for hours at a time. Initially the lady on reception was very curt and suggested it was my fault for storing the key near my phone and didn't apologise - gave us 2 new keys which didn't work either (like I said this was an issue with the door not the key). Someone was sent to fix it which took over an hour. The next day we got locked out after breakfast and I hadn't taken my bag so had to money or sunscreen. By 11.30 it was still broken so I politely but firmly asked for them to hurry up as the whole family was stuck in the bar inside as we didn't want to get sunburnt. About 15 mins later a maintenance man was sent to the room luckily we found him as he was able to check our keys worked before leaving, he was very friendly and helpful. Pools- This is where to hotel should excel but again it was let down by some issues. The lagoon pool near the new swim up rooms was shut on and off throughout the holiday, not sure why we were thrown out by a lifeguard one day and on another day it was full of palm tree offcuts as they were chopping them back by the pool (not sure why this wasn't done before the opened for the season or before the pool was filled up after shutting it?) There was some confusion by Jet2 who insisted this pool was fully open- but it wasn't. The main adult pool is OK but can get busy as the other pool was shut. The children's pool with the fire engine seemed great but the water didn't turn on till 11am (my child really wanted to go in right after breakfast at 9.30/10am). It was poorly maintained on close inspection, quite rusty in places and some broken bits (again I would expect this to be fixed out of season). The slide pool was good for older children but most of the nearby sunbeds the elastic or height adjustment is broken so not very comfy. Lifeguard provision was hit and miss - there are 2 lifeguards which patrol all pools but seem

Visited this hotel as a family or 8 6 adults 2 children honestly couldn't fault the rooms or the pools drinks were great aswell on all-inclusive. The views were amazing and just round the corner is a bike hire for eletric bikes buggys and scooters wich we did every day. Food wasn't the best so if your headed here for the food I personally wouldn't but if your going for an amazing hotel close to shops and restaurants then do there's a Chinese up the road wich was unreal and good price. The beach was OK the sea is a shipping lane and right at the shore the sand drops off so is very deep not suitable for kids in my opinion no space to even have a paddle before it drops off and it isn't sand it's more like gravel. Staff were abit miserable but not rude. If your going with kids wich I did the pools are really good but there isn't a park close by or on site and there's nothing much for the kids to do there is an arcade downstairs but it was so hot down there and and I personally didn't want to stand in a hot tiny room full of kids for hours on end 😅 Reception staff were very helpful aswell. Just up the road there's a town with jet skis and a castle loads of shops and restaurants aswell took 2 mins on the bus and the bus was very cheap and you can catch it from just outside the hotel. Absolutely loved the holiday but personally would visit again but if your headed to this location it was definatly the nicest one on the whole seafront. Snack bar was absolutely rubbish and snacks and ice cream were non existent on the all inclusive.
