Firstly We left overall very happy with our 4 night stay this week , it’s a long review because I personally feel this hotel could be great and I am bored on my flight home , so had time to give it some thought. It’s ironic the difficult things to change like hotel structure/views/grounds /rooms are already good . It’s the food /drink and entertainment thats lacking. In addition there are not a lot of options near by to use instead if you don’t have a car. My husband found us a good reduction booking directly on the hotel website so we paid for a seafront suite and upgraded to the premier all inclusive . Aim of visit was to relax in the sunshine, as well as use it as a base to visit Granada one day with the option to play golf another as we are both golfers. Weather was kind which definitely helped us enjoy our stay. I emailed the hotel a few weeks before explaining ideally what we would ideally prefer for a room and was very pleased we got this. The complex is big , many balconies had only morning or afternoon sun and some seemed a fair trek from the limited amenities. Although not first row of buildings at the sea front and we paid seafront ( was second row ) we were still very happy with our room. 3205 so thank you who ever thought to give us this room. It suited us very well. 1 small balcony off the separate sitting area had a table and 2 chairs & a very nice clear sea view of the pretty swing / wedding stand , beach area with the other balcony off the bedroom had 2 sun loungers ( very comfy but needed re covering as plastic coating split in places ) It had a-nice view when you stood up - roof tops otherwise but important for me , it had sun from around 10am til sunset - in fact from it we could see 95% of the sun dip into sea , obscured by land at the very last dip. Saw some lovely sunsets . It was overall a very comfortable set of rooms .2 Tvs which had Netflix when on satellite mode. Position Was quiet, could hear the sea on the balconies yet close to their pools/ bar. The Gardens of this hotel are lovely. With plenty of sun beds around all of its 3 good sized pools ( shame 1 not partly heated as they were v cold when you first got in) As others say the beach is small & pebbly but you can access the sea easily enough ( although goes deep quickly and strong currents possible so not child friendly) There are lots of sun-beds and wooden shaded umbrellas in the garden area by the sea edge Allowing lovely views , with its loud wave sounds , making it a very nice area to be. On the Sunday when we arrived and the kiosks drink hut was open, this area was great . We overall enjoyed the quality of the buffet food. However we love fish and there were always several fish options for lunch and dinner. . Wine ( red and white and sangria )we felt was ok considering it was “ on tap” , never a great sign. The Rose we didn’t like. The glasses of Cava were pleasant, but not available in the dining room and rare
