Abora Interclub Atlantic By Lopesan Hotels

“A lovely, relaxing holiday in the sun. I would happily return to again in the future, even if it is on top of a hill.”

We have just come home from a week stay at the Abora Interclub Atlantic Hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted in a friendly manner by the receptionist.

We have just come home from a week stay at the Abora Interclub Atlantic Hotel. Upon arrival, we were greeted in a friendly manner by the receptionist. We did have to pay a 50 euro room deposit, but that was refunded straightaway on check out. Everything was explained to us in English. Location The hotel is situated on a hill, which we were not aware of when we booked, but there is a bus which rakes you to and from the beach twice a day, at no extra cost, and taxis available to take you elsewhere. Our room We had a family room, which consited of two separate rooms, one with two single beds put together, which did move about a bit when sitting up, and the other room had a sofa bed and a single bed. All beds were reasonably comfortable. The bathroom consisted of a toilet, sink, and shower, which was adequate for our needs. Plenty of towels, although I would have preferred them to be a bit bigger. There was a small walk-in closet area, which also had a fridge, safe (which we did not use), and a kettle. There was only one cup and no tea/coffee items, but there was a big bottle of water for our arrival. The pool area We used the family pools, both next to each other. One was colder than the other, but that didn't bother us much. We also used the two hot tubs, which, although relaxing to use, we felt that we couldn't use them for too long, as there were people queueing up to use them at times. My son went down the slides and said they were fun. Pool towels are available, the first ones are free, then you can pay to have fresh towels if you want to. We only used them for the pool, so kept them for the week. Plenty odmf sun loungers around, but on the hot days, the ones by the pool are the first to go, so get there quick, if that's important to you. We were happy to sunbathe on the grass under the palm trees. Entertainment There is a game zone area consisting of an air hockey table and other games in which you can earn tickets to exchange for prizes. My son spent a small fortune in order to get a prize, which he could have brought for £5 at home. There are also snooker tables dotted around. There is entertainment for children during the day, but we did not use, so can't comment on that. But there was a mini disco every evening, for young children, except for Mondays. The entertainment team also put on shows later in the evening. The dancing was good, but it was obvious they were lip synching. But you have to forgive them for that, as the music was always in English. Although, when speaking, they spoke in different languages, including Spanish, French, English, and German i believe Food There was plenty of food. The main restaurant was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although a lot of it was the same, they did cater for gluten-free, etc. They also have theme nights, a different theme for each night of the week. There was also food available near the pool bar between certain times. Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable week in the sun. We loved that the hotel was international and had guests from different countries.

We've not long returned from Abora, and quite honestly it was a perfect family destination for our sons first abroad trip! We went just before the English Half Term, so it was quite quiet. We visited for 4 nights/5 days. + The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious for the three of us. Would have been lovely to have tea making facilities in the room, BUT the reception area had 24/7 access to drinks machines so not a big issue. The cleaners came in daily to do a freshen up. The adults bed was two singles put together, which ended up in much hilarity when one of us would fall in between (usually our son). + The all inclusive food/drinks were spot on for us. Our 4 yr old is a beige eater, so ended up with pizza or pasta every night, which he enjoyed, but especcially liked the desserts! Of which there was plenty of choice. There was a theme every night and the food was lovely - we had the lamb on Friday and it was delicious! There was lots of choice at breakfast, your usual pancakes, bacon, beans, all types of eggs, breads and cereals. The only problem was the toaster was a bit naff so took a few goes to get it toasted. The snack bar by the pool is great, pizza, fresh fruit, chips etc. Drinks wise, there was a choice of 5 cocktails and beer, soft drinks, water and fruit juices were also unlimited. + The pools were great, lots of space for loungers, so even when we went up on Monday at 12 following an influx of guests, there was still room. Three pools, one with the slides was cold - prewarning as we weren't aware and I got a telling off from the lifeguard, slides are only for swimmers, swimming aids aren't allowed and kids are not allowed to go down with you. However our son wasn't deterred, there was a kids shallow pool - which he loved, and then another pool with some shallower bits, our son actually learnt to swim on his own this holiday so he loved the middle pool as he could jump in! We also enjoyed the two jacuzzis by the bar. There's also an adults only pool, but we didn't visit that one obviously. + Entertainment was good, pool side entertainment was there, but not pushy, which we were grateful for! There was always something on for the kids. On the evening was a mini disco for the littles about 7:30, which was very much enjoyed, and then a different show/activity each night about 9 (we didn't stay for these much as DS was shattered). There's also an arcade by the entertainment so take some euros for this. + Check in and check out was easy and drinks and snacks were there upon arrival. Staff as a whole were overall friendly and helpful and make a fuss of the kids. We couldn't get late checkout, but they had showers that you can book to use, which was really helpful as we had a late flight back home. + We took a trip into Mas Palomas on the Saturday (7 euro in a taxi), for the market, and had an explore, this was worth the trip out. There are lots of excursions you can book through the hotel, and the staff are happy to help. There are also little shops on site for necessities and clothes etc. Would we go back? Absolutely! I would definitely recommend for families with young children and families in general. We loved it, thankyou! *photos taken just before check out, hence the mess!

Just returned from a 1 week family holiday (2 adults and 2 children). Given some of the reviews on here was slightly apprehensive given some of the other reviews, but need not have worried too much. Overall, we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did have an issue on arrival in that our room smelt smokey. Clearly the previous guests had either been smoking in the room or on the balcony with the doors open and it was really noticeable. I went back to reception and to their credit they were very good. They sent someone immediately to sort it and then gave the room a full deep clean the next morning and that solved the problem. The pools were very good and the children had great fun. It didn’t open until 9am, which is way better than we have experienced elsewhere with people getting up at the crack of dawn to reserve sunbeds. There were people waiting from 8.45ish so if you wanted a prime location you need to do the same, but there were still plenty of beds. I do think the hotel needs to provide more parasols. In October the temperature was mid 20s so was ok, but in the height of summer I think this would be a problem not having adequate shade. The food was as you would expect on an all inclusive. If you are going expecting gourmet cuisine, then you’ll be disappointed, but there was always a good selection of food each night. We managed to make varied meals through the week. The snacks throughout the day in the pool buffet area were ok too with a selection of burgers, hot dogs etc. I think this is largely about expectation. It’s standard Spanish All inclusive. The entertainment team were great. They worked their socks off and there was plenty to do or not depending on your mood, throughout the day and evening. In terms of location, there’s not a huge amount around. For us this was fine as we were looking for somewhere quiet with a pool and beach. This is what we got. If you want shops / bars etc around the hotel then this probably wouldn’t be ideal for you. All in all, we had a good time and would good back.
