Hotel terbaik di Roquetas de Mar

POSITIVES The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and as we arrived a little early they directed us to the poolside bar to wait whilst the room was prepared. Once ready, we discovered that the room was clean and well-maintained with powerful aircon and comfy beds. The bathroom contained lots of towels and a range of free toiletries. The kitchen had a working fridge and microwave and the balcony had a terrific view of the pool and beach. The poolside bar serves a small portion of free tapas when you order a round of drinks. The price of 1 large beer or a tinto de verano with 3 soft drinks was less than £8 which is incredible. The tapas was tasty as well. There are a range of shops, cafes and bars around the hotel and beach access is literally across the path at the rear of the hotel. The pool area was clean and well-maintained and the water slide was good fun for the children. You never had to fight to get sun loungers as there was plenty of space. The restaurant (we had breakfast and evening meal included) served a wide range of foods, and the breakfast includes pancakes, cereals, continental style and pastries along with unlimited hot drinks. It was clean and the service was friendly and prompt. LESS POSITIVE This hotel is a destination for Spanish people to go on holiday, so most of what is in place does not cater to those looking for a Spanish holiday ‘for Brits’. This isn’t as much a problem for me as I love Spanish culture, but many of the staff did not speak English and the Animacion team provided all their entertainment in Spanish which might leave British children a little left out, although ours were able to join in with party dances and the late night pool party. The evening meals in the restaurant were predominantly local dishes geared heavily to seafood and the like. I’ll eat anything but my wife is a fussy eater and if you or your family like to eat nuggets and roast dinners you will not find that available here. My children found there was always one thing they would eat but weren’t spoilt for choice. The room decor is a little dated but who really cares when it’s just a base and you should be out at the beach or by the pool anyway! NEGATIVE The poolside bar does not provide any kind of snack provision such as chips and sandwiches as the tapas and drinks are served from a high end restaurant. This was disappointing as we like to enjoy a beer and some chips by the pool for our lunch. The language barrier with our waitress meant we’d asked for a menu which there was no point receiving as we couldn’t order food to be delivered poolside anyway, but she wasn’t really able to communicate this with us and we sat their waiting for an order we never could have had. But again, we should be learning to speak Spanish better! I’m not entirely sure LoveHolidays researched whether this hotel is suitable for Brits wanting the ‘Brits abroad’ experience so if you want that you’re best sticking to Salou or Benidorm.

Our overall experience at this hotel is good. As others have suggested, its mostly Spanish guests, which is to be expected as the resort is in Spain, for me this isn't a problem however the entertainment is heavily geared towards the Spanish guests, even the kids club isn't very welcoming to English children as all the dialogue is in Spanish. The food at this hotel is fine, there is a good selection of meat and fish at lunch and evening meal and there's always a great salad bar, pasta, selection of potatoes and vegetables. It may not be piping hot all the time but it's generally well cooked and tasty. At breakfast there is a good hot choice including bacon, sausage, various eggs, beans etc as well as croissant, cold meats, cheese, bread, fruit etc. The breakfast cereals are quite poor. Only a few days there are cornflakes on offer, they are not the best quality but ok. The other cereals were not good, the rice crispies were like rock hard pebbles, the cereals need to be improved, quite a basic thing that was poor. The evening meal doesn't start until around 8pm which is quite late for guests with young children. However at this time there are plenty of tables but if you leave it until later you can be faced with a long queue to get a table. This wasn't much of an issue for us as we ate early but the restaurant gets extremely busy and overcrowded so later on its not a great atmosphere. There is a strange token system for drinks during the day, you are given tokens at check in to exchange for plastic glasses, each time you want a drink you have to go to the bar with your tokens or return your glasses for a drink. It seems that this is to cut down on waste or maybe staff as there is no need for staff to collect glasses. The only problem is that at times the queue to get drinks is long. You can also get basic snacks at the main pool bar such as crisps, popcorn and sweets. The snack meals are at the other pool area where there are burgers, chips, hot dogs, cold meat and cheese and some fruit. The pool areas are great for all ages, the kids pool with slides is good for the little ones and both of the big pools are nice. In August the pools were lovely and warm, all good here. I can't say anything about the standard rooms as we had a junior suite which was an excellent size. The main bedroom had two single beds together that created a huge bed, there's is a TV in the main bedroom and small wardrobe, but not many coat hangers. There is a second bedroom in a the junior suite with a double bed and small wardrobe but no TV, we also had a cot in there and it was still spacious. There is more wardrobe space near the entrance to the room with a safe, the safe costs €4 per day which I think is a bit excessise in terms of cost, other 4 star hotels provide this free of charge. There is a good size living space with sofa and bigger TV and a kitchen area with microwave, fridge freezer and kettle, we had to request the kettle. There's no crockery or c

Bajo nuestra experiencia, que a sido en temporada baja, a sido excelente, nos a gustado pasar por allí, la zona esta súper bien, y parece ser que es una familia que lleva el negocio, y son muy agradables y parecen ser muy humildes. Pasamos tres noches con nuestra mascota, nos dieron el ático, y estuvimos súper a gusto, la única pega que pondríamos que las almohadas no son muy cómodas, pero para tres noches que hicimos, son muy atentos y curiosos te dejan una bolsita con un estropajo, bayeta jabón y 2 bolsas de basura. La verdad que nos vamos con muy buen sabor de boca, gracias.

Hotel definitely not a 4 star ! Who grades these hotels. !! Amenities basic - outside pool area nice and quiet and clean. No tea and coffee making facilities in room - very disappointing. Our stay did not include food although you could pay as you go. 12 euros each for buffet breakfast - quite expensive. We found a traditional cafe a few minutes walk away which we would walk to every morning for our coffee and tostadas “Cafetería Luna” . Definitely worth a visit. Lovely family run cafe. Strange decor in hotel - very tired looking and requires refurbishment. The staff friendly. Lack of atmosphere. We stayed on the third floor overlooking the beautiful villas and we could see the sea in the distance. Definitely opt for a room with the villa / sea in the distance view as there are building works the other side (building apartments). It was not noisy though. 10/15 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. We did enjoy our holiday and the hotel was rather quaint but we did enjoy our stay overall. If you want quiet and one small pool and a bar that opens at 11.00 am until 11.00 pm and no tea and coffee facilities in your room then this is the hotel for youx. Roquetas de Mar is not too touristy and we definitely would return to the area but stay in a different hotel.
