I recently stayed at the Ascos Coral Beach Hotel and, overall, I absolutely loved the hotel. The staff were amazing – friendly, welcoming and hardworking – and I really enjoyed my stay. Sadly, the entertainment seriously let the hotel down. During the day there was virtually no poolside entertainment. Apart from water polo later in the afternoon, there seemed to be very little going on – no aqua aerobics or the sort of daytime activities I would normally expect from an all-inclusive resort. The evening entertainment was also disappointing. Far too often planned entertainment seemed to be cancelled, with a quiz becoming the default replacement. After a while it felt repetitive and as though guests were being entertained as cheaply as possible rather than being given a varied programme to enjoy. The only night I really enjoyed was the karaoke!! . I was particularly unhappy with the bingo. There was only one full-house prize rather than prizes for a line, two lines and a full house. On one occasion I counted approximately 30 or more tickets being sold at €5 each, meaning at least €150 was taken. Yet the only prize paid out was €40. That means at least €110 of the money collected was not returned to guests as prize money. I appreciate that the entertainment may be provided by an outside agency and that there may be costs involved, but as a guest I found the difference between the amount collected and the amount paid out extraordinary. I would like Ascos to look into this and provide greater transparency about where the bingo money goes. This is such a shame because the hotel itself has so much going for it. The wonderful staff deserve an entertainment programme that matches the standard of the rest of the hotel. Come on, Ascos – you can do much better! Improve the daytime and evening entertainment and this could be a fantastic all-round holiday!
