If you are looking to relax great place in day but at night mattress is like laying on a wooden block and pillows also flat and hard. Prices in bar very expensive. Friendly bar staff but hotel too inpersonal especially the reception. Great welcome but then felt like intruders. Could get sun bed any time of day. Breakfast just ok... more

Spent 10 days at this hotel on a B&B tariff in the middle of a heat wave. It is well appointed with a generous reception/lounge area and a roomy restaurant. Staff businesslike and friendly. Breakfast buffet was fairly good with plenty of choice but rather too much tinned fruit. Did not take either lunch or dinner as menu appeared very... more

We stayed at the Bellavista for one week half board and were very disappointed as we had booked this on the strength of good reviews on this site! Uninterested staff on reception who never smiled.

Breakfast was a buffet, but there was a lot of choice, ranging from cereals through to bacon, sausage etc. One thing that needs to be mentioned is that the food that was supposed to be... more

We have just returned from 7 days at the Real Bellavista and must confess to being slighly disappointed after reading so many positive reviews. We arrived at reception and were met with a very flat welcome (if I can call it that). We were not informed about any features of the hotel not even such things as meal times, that... more

We have just returned from a week's stay at this hotel. We booked less than a week before departure and got an excellent deal for bed and breakfast and 7 nights in a Junior Suite. On arrival at the hotel at about 11am , our room wasn't quite ready and so we relaxed in the cool and spacious lounge area,... more
