Corona Roja Apartments Reviews

I always believe in an honest review so here goes. We are a family of 8 over 3 rooms for a week all inclusive. Our initial start was good with an easy check in and polite receptionist. Although arriving late we still managed to use the bar till 11pm when the all inclusive drinks finished. One room was very dated and the shower didn’t work very well. The other 2 rooms were very modern. Complained about the shower but still wasn’t fixed, luckily we could use one of our modern rooms. The pillows are terrible so be warned. Although you don’t really need a tv while on holiday but didn’t use it as it was coin operated. (How very 1970’s). You have to pay for the safe also. The deposit of €20 per room was fine so make sure you have the cash when checking in. We did encounter cockroaches in the bathroom! The pool had plenty of sunbeds, although by 3pm 50% of them were in the shade, didn’t really clean around the pool daily and many many many cardboard cups blowing around. There was work going on so some drilling throughout the day. There is no daytime entertainment, so definitely not for kids. The umbrellas were mainly broken and very sparse. The all inclusive drinks were fine but getting a large drink to save time going back was a no no. The cocktails are very weak and tasteless, the difference in the drinks at other bars, was massive. The food was very repetitive for the week and some of us couldn’t eat much. Fish, veal and a bland bolognaise to say a few meals. Lunch was fine with pizza, hot dogs and burgers but even after a few days this was annoying. It was like a canteen most days. Make sure you eat all your dinner though so you’re not told off for wastage. There was no entertainment at all and limited music on the speakers so lacked atmosphere in the day and evening. I would not recommend the all inclusive option as we went out every night and spent more. Many of the staff here were brilliant, polite and even had a laugh with us, but be aware of one who thinks she owns the place, Exceptionally self centred and believes she is the dictator of the hotel. You are not changing the world with your attitude luv!! You are not allowed to take food away from the canteen, even if someone is a little tired and in the room! WiFi is not available throughout the hotel and is limited to the reception area only. You can pay for the local hotspot if you don’t have uk data. The location is very good, close to beach and easy access to the main resort. I would highly recommend visiting the Tipsy Hammock. What a great vibe with amazing food and drinks. On the final day the all inclusive finishes at midday and even though we weren’t flying till 8.30pm had to pay for the opportunity to eat the canteen food. We chose a different option of a nice restaurant at the beach. There is a supermarket and pharmacy on site and some shops nearby. Overall it is not worth the money you pay, they are updating the hotel but not sure how much of a difference this
