We have just returned home from Hotel HL Rondo after a very sunny and relaxed 7 night stay based on bed & breakfast. The hotel is lovely, absolutely spotless, very spacious, modern and comfortable in every way. The pool, pool bar and sunbed areas are a delight. The only issue we found was that the cooked breakfasts are literally cooked as requested in front of you, which is great if you don't mind joining a long que rather than serving yourself from a buffet selection like with the cold meats and cheeses and pastries. Of course not everyone actually understands or knows how to que which can get a little frustrating at times. The hotel's position is excellent with a large number of bars, restaurants and shops just a very short walk away and very easy access to other nearby resorts by bus or taxi. We only had breakfast and a couple of light bites at lunch in the pool bar so can't really comment on the whole food package. All staff were excellent but the lifeguard did get on a few guests nerves insisting on them lowering the sun shades / brolleys when the sun was literally burning and the wind was only very light. All in all a good choice and highly recommended.

We have been going to this hotel for years, last year we stayed in the bungalows across the road as the hotel was being renovated. We book our trip every January for the following October. Cannot wait to go back it was excellent! 5 stars! We enjoyed the new restaurant, freshly cooked to order breakfast. The pool area with the new outdoor cafe was great. The Gym looks like its going to be a great addition too. Well done HL looking forward to seeing the new bungalows next year. Certainly the best place to stay for the Yumbo and beach so central.

“Tastefully refurbished hotel but noisy”

The hotel was refurbished last year and all areas of the hotel are still in very good condition. The rooms are large, plenty of wardrobe and shelf space, beds and pillows are comfy, towels replaced daily, lots of hot water and good water pressure in the shower.

The hotel was refurbished last year and all areas of the hotel are still in very good condition. The rooms are large, plenty of wardrobe and shelf space, beds and pillows are comfy, towels replaced daily, lots of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. The only thing that would make the rooms even better is a remote for the air con - having to get out of bed to switch on/off was a pain. Sound proofing needs to be upgraded - we could hear neighbours’ bathroom noise and them talking. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and available until 11:30am. We had dinner in the hotel twice and the food was good. The pool is a good size and clean. Anthony the lifeguard was friendly, diligent and helpful if needed e.g. putting parasols up/down. Sun lounger reserving went on so I would suggest the ‘no reserving’ rule was enforced. All the staff were friendly, helpful and worked to a high standard. The reception staff, particularly Guisi (who keeps a small number of reading books under the reception desk but you have to ask if you want one) were really helpful even when we asked to move rooms because of the noise from building work going on in the hotel. A mention also to Gian, one of the waiting staff in the restaurant during the evenings. Very disappointed that the gym was still under construction (an on site gym was one reason we booked the hotel) and we definitely wouldn’t have booked the hotel if we knew refurbishment in various parts of the hotel was ongoing. There is music around the pool but it’s not intrusive unlike the music from the Axel Beach hotel next door. Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings until 18:30 it’s party time. The music is *very* loud (you can’t escape it even inside the hotel) but on the plus side because people around the pool left, it freed up lots of sun beds. Eating out was easy but if you want more traditional food you need to see where the locals eat. La Pergola nearby was good.
