“Didn’t regret going”

Loved it here. First off, it’s a 1970s built hotel, there have been lots of improvements but there are still some things straight from the 70s, and that’s ok by me. It doesn’t make it tired, just adds character. The food was lovely, our room on the 4th floor had an amazing view and was a good size… more

Loved it here. First off, it’s a 1970s built hotel, there have been lots of improvements but there are still some things straight from the 70s, and that’s ok by me. It doesn’t make it tired, just adds character. The food was lovely, our room on the 4th floor had an amazing view and was a good size (plenty of hanging/storage space. No kettle, no problem, we took our own and tea, coffee etc, there is a great little fridge. BBC1 and ITV 1 for news etc. Three things to note: there are average queues at the bars, the staff work very hard but there aren’t many of them so queues form. It is the same at dinner, they are so busy clearing and laying tables it’s hard to get someone’s attention. It didn’t bother us, but if you don’t like this, not the place for you. The lifts are busy, as we expected, we managed and had a good laugh with people waiting for them. There is nothing the hotel could do about it, nobody’s fault. The hot food is not hot but warm, it didn’t spoil our experience, we loved the food. However, this is one thing mentioned a lot and I think is easy solvable, either new Bain Marie’s or turn them up. We had room 1412 and it was perfect. All staff were friendly, worked really hard and kept everything running cleanly and well. Thankyou to you all. Loved the evening entertainment, good quality and enjoyable. Tip: if you go to the beach as we did, the sun beds opposite the hotel were lovely and the old boy and young man who look after them were so friendly and polite €6 each per day, with little table and ashtray if required. You can use the Los Coralas bar on the beaches toilets. As for the actual bar, staff really awful and try to rip people off, see its own trip reviews and we experienced it, avoid if you can. Would return to this hotel.

“Don Pablo”

Had a lovely time at Don Pablo, second visit to the site previously stayed at Don Marco. Large spacious room on 9th floor (1906) good side view of the sea and pool. All-inclusive food, I find its lovely at this hotel. Great selection of food for everyone. Can also have all-inclusive food at the pool bar which I thought was a great alternative for table service rather than buffet. Great location right on the beach and close to the many restaurants. Pool area had no problem getting a sun bed this time of year. Pool was cold to get in, not heated. But plenty of pools and jacuzzis to choose from. Friendly staff always happy to help and had a great service from anyone we spoke to. I had a great birthday surprised organised by my boyfriend with the hotel of balloons and champagne. Nice touch that the hotel offered this! Entertainment was good! We especially enjoyed the Il Divo night! Variety and plenty of seating this time of year to watch the shows. Negatives : No kettle in room ( not sure why?? Thought this was common in hotels to have a kettle) No kettle meant no tea bags Floor 9 I think the WiFi was a bit weak. TV is fully Spanish channels. Managed to cast phone for Netflix once but then had trouble doing it again. Realise in the end that I had to go into the foyer to try and re-connect back to the cast and this seemed to work.

Dissapointed after reading good reviews . Generally Hotel tired in need of room maintenance . 9th floor xtra with full board . Broken tiling and drainage on balcony . Shower area finish not good standard Room service sporadic with no tea coffee milk restocked daily . Tissues in bathroom never restocked . Bed made daily and towels loo roll restocked Dining area carnage most meal times .canteen in appearance with no linen cloths napkins as in photos . Only tea and coffee at breakfast . Water 2€ for small bottle . Full board we would have expected free water . Wine 20€ . Food albeit good range the hot was Luke warm . No milk jugs for bringing milk to table for tea coffee Bar drinks expensive so didn’t stay in bar long . We just felt the season was coming to an end and there was less attention to detail . Grounds,pool and entertainment good . Don’t think we would rush back
