IT WAS WORSE THAN BAD THE FOOD WAS UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMTION. After reporting to the head waiter uncooked chicken legs I was told sorry my plate was taken away... more

Dont go.Food was disgusting,never had a warm meal (everything always cold).No choice catered for everyone except English.We went into the dining room every mealtime had a look around and ate out.Staff on reception were very rude and arrogant(they forget we keep them in a job).Bar staff were fine.No entertainment in Hotel even though it was advertised on internet. more

Cheap and cheerful it was not. The food lacked imagination and at every service was cold, the only warm thing during dinner was the salad. The restaurant service was terriable, after being given the dinner times we had to wait at the restaurant doors until we were allowed in. When the bar when attended it was good. Overall this hotel... more

Having read all of the reviews i was a bit dubious to go to this hotel, but when we got there we were supposed to be in the Bon Repos but they moved us to the Esplai, we found the Esplai to be clean and very quiet, we had no German Teenagers at all in the Hotel, it was the... more

Frankly, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, it's a shame of the local accommodation business. The stay wasn't far from being the most horrific experince with all kinds of hotel service I'd had during my travels. The facility hardly deserves a single star. In the first place, there was the food. The guests were given the most bizarre and... more

We read the reviews before travelling and decided to make our own judgements. We made our own travel arrangements travelling from Barcelona by train which was very cheap and punctual. Walking up the hotel steps we saw the pool area and even though it was small we have certainly seen smaller in the area. We did not want to spend... more

The noise starts at 22:00 and finishes at 05:30, we had 3 floors above us of german youths whos sole purpose in the night was to run up and down the corridors banging on your room doors or ringing the room phones. The staff were unhelpfull and really rude, their advice was to ring the police in the night. We... more
