Butlins in Spain - 5*… not so much!
The best way I can describe this place is a Spanish Butlins. If that’s your thing then I think you’d be happy here. Children will like it as did ours, however the tedious buffet with the all inclusive deal was very tiring very quickly. Every time you went for a meal it was like going to a massive canteen. There are some restaurants on sight but you’re only allowed to book each one once… if you can find the availability, they are underwhelming and you’d be better of popping into the little town next to the complex and visiting the local restaurants a couple of them were very nice, in particular Aire is well worth a visit or two. The staff were generally friendly, but was never obvious who was in charge and everything was very chaotic, we once asked for a manger and the reply was “oh they are off today and very busy”, “Ok so who is in charge?” “Er er er”, was the response.
The rooms were very tired and in need of modernising, things like ants all over the place, old outdated decor and shower door that lets all the water run all over the floor, to name a few annoying points, but there were others.
One positive was the Kids Club staff were very good and friendly, unfortunately my kids didn’t ever want to go, which I can’t blame the hotel for!
Overall, I thought the cost of the stay was eye watering given how average this place, is it is NEVER 5* in a million years, and I think that is really misleading. I wouldn’t go there again.
