El Arenal Beach

This is a lovely place, close to the ocean. Lovely people working there. Felt like they were a bit overwhelmed sometimes like there was not enough people but might be due to season just starting. Room was always clean.. and everytime we got back it smelled like magic. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We had lots of problems with our card and had to go to the reception everyday and it would not work. They always repaired the problem within seconds with a smile and tried to explain the reasons. Swimming pool area is lovely and relaxing. Would be nice to have a coffee in the room but thankfully we were able to buy some at the bar for good price. I hope everyone there will get a payrise as they worked so hard.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We were only here for 4 nights as we wanted a very relaxing short break and that is exactly what we got. The room was really nice with a nice little balcony to relax. The only downside was it didn't have an iron. I'm not sure if one was available at reception, we managed without one so didn't need to ask. We stayed for breakfast and it was to a very good standard every morning with a great selection of options for all. The main pool was really nice with some nice shaded parts. We preferred the rooftop pool area, just because it had a nicer breeze during the peak heat hours. The bar wasn't often staffed but you could use the phone there to call for staff to attend. The position of the hotel is great as it's just a short walk to the main strip of shops and bars and the beaches. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. If you want a calm and peaceful stay then this is definitely one to consider.
