Alua Atlantico Golf - All Inclusive

we stayed in room 1319 ,it was a quiet room,and spacious as we rquested through jet 2.it ws cleaned every day and the cleaners were polite and friendly,the beds were comfy,and we had a balcony.The bar staff were friendly and helpful,and now i must tell you about the bad stuff.On entering the hotel,there are numerous broken floor tiles in the foyer,the receptionist that checked us in took ages and didn,t give us a map of where all the blocks ,bars ,pools and restaurants where on the hotel complex,she just told us how to get to our room and that was it.We went to the main restaurant for our meals (we were all inclusive) for the first 3 days and found the food to be absolutely dreadful.There was lots of choice of food,but it was either cold or at best barely lukewarm,there was no plate warmer,so it was cold plates only.The meats on offer were very poor quality as were the fish,the vegetables were virtually cold at every meal, the snack bar food was poor quality burgers ,sausage,buns and pitza.The wine in the restaurant was awful,but i,m glad to say that the beer throghout the hotel was good at all times (san miguel) There are 3 restaurants at the hotel,we didn,t try them,because other guests told us that they are just as bad as th main one.There are several tavernas a short walk from the hotel down by the beach that sell meals all day and they have good food that people enjoy eating.The hotel in general is quiet,clean,as were the pools and sunbathing areas(shame about the food)

Big hotel, plenty of sunbeds and no battles to get one. Plenty of choice of food options, although food could be hotter, although there are microwaves on the dining room to heat things up if required. Best breakfast, over in building 4 and burgers from the pool bar are nice. Good location, although it’s not a busy resort. Hotel provides a free bus to Los Christianos and Las Americas if you want a trip out. Our room was cleaned every day. If you fancy venturing out, go out the back gate and The Volcanic Rock has live music every day from. 4pm - 6pm. Lava is also great for quality freshly cooked food and home baking.

After a quick count, I think this was our 29th visit to this hotel, which we first visited in 2001. We like it. There have been changes over the years, but one constant has been the very friendly welcome we always receive. This time, we felt that the food in the airy restaurant had improved, in particular the delicious range offered on the cold buffet at lunch time and in the evenings. There's always more than one pasta dish on the hot buffet, paella and child-friendly food, together with hot casseroles and fish and meat being freshly cooked on the grill. At breakfast, the range of hot food has diminished over the years; I particularly miss the tortilla and (non-chip) potato offerings. Omelettes, fried eggs and pancakes are cooked freshly on the grill. There's always a huge range of cold foods available as well. One (typically English) gripe is that the plates are no longer warmed, I don't know why, but I wish they would provide warm plates to receive hot food! The hotel is always scrupulously clean, the rooms are spacious and airy, with walk-in showers and very comfortable beds. Outside, there's a good choice of sun terraces and swimming pools with poolside bars where snacks are available. The hotel is built right on the coast, overlooking the rocky coastline and a marina. It's in a breezy spot, which can be very welcome in hotter weather. There's a good range of bars and restaurants within walking distance, and a lovely walk along the promenade in either direction. The hotel is about 20 minutes drive from the central resorts of Los Cristianos and Las Americas, although road works are currently making the journey longer.
