Hotel terbaik di La Oliva

After reading reviews after booking, I was quite worried about our choice of holiday. We kept an open mind and can honestly say that this holiday was one of our favourites. We hired a car as we like to go on adventures, but we spent a lot more time lying on the pool sunbeds than we expected to. We were self catering so did a shop at Lidl in Correlejo and went out for our evening meals. Our 8 year old loved the waterpark at the hotel and we spent a few hours each day there. The villa had everything we needed and the bed was comfy, we had a 2 bedroom and the addition of the washing machine was really useful. One thing I would say is that even if you are All Inclusive, you would probably still need a car, as it is extremely remote and whilst it is a lovely place to stay, most of the beaches are too far to walk to and there isn't an awful lot to do in the area.

We chose this hotel for the stunning location, which was absolutely beautiful, and can’t be faulted, the beach experience was 10/10, where 2 beds and an umbrella for the day cost 9€. The weather was gorgeous and there’s generally a nice breeze on the beach, the sea is also just beautiful, a very clean area. We knew the hotel was dated, hence the cheap price but it really is in complete need of total repair. However the staff all work hard to keep it immaculately cleaned, maid service every day, clean towels, beds changed etc. Beds are firm but fairly comfy, we stayed in the annexe apartments, which are spacious, where the gardens/patios are kept clean, lovely trees and plants, the pools are also well maintained. The restaurant area in the main hotel is pleasant and spacious, food is average, quite repetitive at times, there seemed less on offer in the annexe restaurant. There was also a lack of English teabags in the annexe restaurant, so if you like a cuppa, I’d advise you take your own. It’s a very large, busy hotel and in the evenings it was hard to find seating at times. The entertainment was not for us unfortunately, felt a bit like watching kids in a school performance, there was a man and woman 1 night that sang and played guitar, but generally this was a let down, although there were lots of people that seemed to enjoy it, so it depends what you like. It’s a very popular hotel and if you want an amazing beach setting and don’t mind the worn out rooms, and large numbers of people, it’s worth a visit.

El hostal tiene una muy buena ubicación, a 7 min del aeropuerto, tienes un bus desde el aeropuerto que te deja a 2min andando del hostal,la linea 3. Y ademas tienes las cocheras como a 5 min andando que salen muchos bus,para diferentes lugares de la isla. La playa esta a 6 min andando por el puerto,las vistas maravillosas . Y decir, el hostal muy basico, habitaciones con nevera y ventilador, amplias,estan bastante bien calidad,precio. Pero hay limpieza que eso es importante. Para mi lo mejor los recepcionistas,el señor de la mañana y Samanta, la chica de por las tardes, super atentos y encantadores. Repetire,me he venido com muy buen sabor de boca.

We stayed with a friend in a private room in a rooftop room. It was very nice, clean, and we had our own terrace! It was mostly quiet. If someone cannot stand noise than dont book this room as 2-3 times a day loud music was coming from the resort nearby (only short time, it was part of thr daily animation for the guests). We were surprised at the beginning but then it became part of our life :) The staff in the hostel is very friendly and easy going, the room was good sized, comfy beds, will be missed!
