Just returned from a weeks holiday here, from the moment we stepped into the hotel to the moment we left, you couldn’t fault it. The staff were fantastic and extremely attentive to our needs. When poolside or at the beach club, they have buttons to call for service so you can get food and drinks to your sunbed. We actually accidentally left a bag at the hotel containing an iPad and expensive headphones. I rang them at the airport and they sorted it within minutes, it was delivered back to our home in the UK in less than 48 hours! The rooms are a great size, as are the bathrooms. Everything is spotless and the beds are very comfy. Room service daily. The only issue, which is not their fault, is the beach. The beach isn’t white sand and the sea doesn’t look the cleanest. We’re usually at the beach everyday but not on this holiday. If you’re looking to go for nightlife, there isn’t much around. Better suited for relaxing holidays.

“Very good, would recommend at the price point”

There’s a lot of good about this hotel. We got a good deal on a 4 night long weekend with half board a few months back for this week.. About half of what is currently being quoted on the website for next week. What they do right, they do really right in this hotel, and we would recommend coming, ... more

There’s a lot of good about this hotel. We got a good deal on a 4 night long weekend with half board a few months back for this week.. About half of what is currently being quoted on the website for next week. What they do right, they do really right in this hotel, and we would recommend coming, but would not recommend the half board. Arrival and check in was excellent. We checked in online before hand so they had all our information when we arrived. The check in agent was very friendly and he was all smiles. We arrived at one AM so missed the half board dinner, but the hotel had put on a huge spread in our room with charcuterie, cheeses, breads, fruits, muffins etc. in lieu of the dinner without us asking. It was above and beyond and very much appreciated. We stayed in an ooh la la room which is an ocean front side sea view. It was nice. Ticked all the boxes, huge balcony and was immaculately clean, as was the whole hotel. Big shout out to the cleaning staff as they did a brilliant job all round. I also liked the operations director left his contact details in the room on a business card which shows his belief in the product and willingness to engage, which we didn’t need to. Food: So the food was a mixed bag. The breakfast was very good for a 4 star hotel. There was massive variety in the buffet, an egg cooking station for cook to order and all the hot food was hot, fruit was fresh, great selection. The lunch menu in the beach club was good. We had tapas each day we were on property which were enjoyable. The dinner was a bit of a let down and we only ate once there despite it being included. It is quite a basic limited menu and my partner got served completely raw chicken which put us off eating that night and having dinner there again. Pools/Atmosphere/Beach Club: This was the other reason Amàre beach club lost a mark. We were expecting a relatively lovely pool area as advertised. This was a bit of a disappointment.. down at the beach club, there was very low music playing for most of the day, DJ was very low key and the various instruments did a few songs each day in the afternoon for a few minutes. It was just quite dead. On a positive note, sun loungers were the most comfortable we’ve ever had in a resort, there was a button to call waiters (they were slow, but they came), cocktails were delicious and staff were helpful. No issues with towels, as they are very quick to clear towels left too long. Overall, I would return and would recommend for a stay, but the half board would become repetitive long term.

“Not a great experience”

6th time staying here. Positives are the breakfast, beach area and no children (adults only). Rooms kept clean and fresh towels. Negatives are for the first time we had a room on the West elevation of the hotel. No balcony and view is of an apartment block and their balconies. No sea view. Room... more

6th time staying here. Positives are the breakfast, beach area and no children (adults only). Rooms kept clean and fresh towels. Negatives are for the first time we had a room on the West elevation of the hotel. No balcony and view is of an apartment block and their balconies. No sea view. Room was extremely noisy with road/traffic noise so dreadful nights ‘sleep’. Air-con in the room doesn’t chill the room at all. ‘Chilled’ music down at the beach is too loud and not relaxing. The real bugbear is the €18 a day they charge you to use the hotel underground car park. It is never full so they could charge you a more competitive rate. We will book an alternative hotel next time. A shame as it’s been so good in the past. Asked hotel reception to make sure we had twin rooms as we are 4 guys playing golf. We received a standard reply that nothing can be guaranteed. Again, disappointing for this level of service. The hotel isn’t even full. The online ‘advanced’ checkin is a waste of time. It was no difference to the normal checkin procedure.
