Well
after driving from the airport it took a little while to find this hotel (
hire car from airport - beware there are no road signs going into Jandia to
show where it is )- and their web site map tells you to come off at exit 79
- two away! Apart from that a very nice hotel - room was in main block level
1 behind reception with sea view, clean large and balcony overlooking a
terrace with pool below . The AI package you can buy on checking in is worth
the 10 euros a night per person - good advice from reception staff - don't
do it tonight - its 10.30pm - do it tomorrow and save 20 euros. Bar ( piano
) v nice we chilled there every night - restaurant on floor below v good -
not busy - and the food was by far and large excellent - although it could
be a little repetitive for vegetarians - but thats my problem - not theirs.
Plenty of free tables on entering and staff around frequently to clear
plates, nice touch - wine and soft drinks on tap, also beer. Plenty of fruit
- and the diet section was nice. Its mainly a German oriented hotel so us UK
s are in a slight minority - but for us no probs i speak German - and they
were friendly - its a hotel mainly for middle aged people at this time of
year - felt young at 50 !!!

I really
liked this hotel it is clean and the staff are friendly. I don't know what
everyone is complaining about the walls for because they aren't that thin.
you can hear the odd conversation from next door but it is not at all that
bad! The drinks are great i especially liked the cocktails especially a
tequila sunrise!!! Also you have to try a Barcelo cocktail as they are very
nice and they get you very drunk!!
I liked the food some nights and some nights i hated it! They have pasta and
bolognaise every night and chips. They will have different vegetables and
then they cook different meat every night. They main meat is veal-which i am
sick of!!! and chicken, turkey and pork are the main dishes. You also have
different fish every night-you should try the swordfish it is really lush!!!
overall the is something to suit everyone!! Also i would make the effort and
go on for lunch as it is very nice and sometimes nicer than dinner!

We have
just arrived back from a wonderful week here and before we even set off this
trip was a bit of a worry for me as it was the first time my parents had
been abroad and I was dreading it after reading the reviews posted , but, we
were not disappointed one bit and my folks loved it.
For those who say that this is not worth the 4 stars it is accredited then
you must have extremely high standards as we have stayed in some awful
places claiming to be 4 stars and this was by far the best. The food was
spot on, plenty of variety if you are a little adventurous with plenty of
meats,fish,vegetable and salad dishes on offer. Most of them cooked in front
of you so you could see how the meats were prepared etc. Breakfast was
always fantastic with plenty to choose from for even the fussiest of eaters.
My Mum & Dad are typical Lancastrians and tend to stick to the same foods
but they absolutely loved everything they tried.
The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed on a regular basis, (there
was a little mis-hap where one of the maids took the towels but did not
replace them but one call to reception and we had clean towels brought to us
within half hour),air con and fans were a must in the rooms and worked a
treat. We also had access to some sky TV channels - granted mainly Spanish &
German but BBC News and Eurosport where on there which meant my Dad could
still watch his Superbikes sunday morning and lets face it who wants to sit
and watch TV when its 30 degrees outside, not me!
The pool areas were tidied each night and then thoroughly cleaned each
morning. The all inclusive drinks were great with all branded soft drinks
and San Miguel on tap and a wide variety of wines and spirits readily
available. Pina Calada's were Yummy!!!
We ventured out one day to Correlejo at the north end of the Island and we
were glad we chose South rather than North as it was not as nice - although
the Sand Dunes up there were stunning.
Overall we had a fantastic holiday & none of us wanted to come home! We all
want to book to go back next year, and I can safely say that I would
recommend this to anyone!

we flew
out of birmingham with no problems to arrive to perfect 27 degrees.we booked
online with Mytravel(airtours) not having used the operator before found the
aircraft new and more spacious than the thomas cook aircraft of the previous
year.Brochure stated 1.5 hours transfer time which turned out to be 2 hours
but that really is my only niggle, but the tour rep was a mature ,very
knolagable happy go lucky woman that made it durable.we luckily new the
hotel layuout so found our room easily but some other Brits said the
reception did not show them to the rooms adequetly and at 10.30 at night a
hillside hotel can be a bit tricky to suss.The hotel is totally geared for
all inclusive and my advice is book half board because this year is barcelo
hotels 75 anniversary and they are offering all inc. for 10 euros pp/pn and
airtours was to charge £200 pw in our case(get it there) so you do the
math.As i mentioned hillside setting so pack good shoes for treks to the
beach and town gift shops 10-15 mins beach(downhll)15-20mins to the shops
except an english stye "Spar" supermarket below the hotel.Food is well
presented and varied but try to get there at 6.30-7.00 or the main walkway
to the buffet gets busy.Get a spanish frase book coz they speak good english
but we found you served quicker at a bar with a "poco espanjol".If you wan`t
a sea veiw allways book one ,it`s worth it, rooms are well air-con`ed+
ceiling fan maid are courtious and proficient and do bother paying the 14
euros for the safe in the room ,we did and the instructions are on the safe
so you can use anyway.pools excelent,plenty of loungers, you still get the
early morning towel brigade(sad) Thats it really we hope this gives some
good advice.`Adious Amigo`s.
