Booked this hotel as it was the only one in the area that offered All inclusive but didn't expect to be the only people in the hotel to be AI. For the first 3 days we were the only 2 people in the hotel on an All Inclusive basis ( another English couple then arrived and when we left, they were the only ones AI) The hotel was nearly all Spanish holiday makers - no problem with that except they never seem to drink in the bar so we always had to go and find a barman - it got to the stage where as we approached the bar whoever was on Reception would pick up the phone and ring for bar staff - they poured us a drink each and then they were gone! Good job we have the British sense of humour. As for the hotel, it was fine - fairly basic, but clean. Only real complaint was the bed & pillows - bed was very lumpy and those were not pillows - mine was about 2inches thick and could only be used folded in half - awful! Hotel is in a very quiet residential area, close to the sea. The sea is perfect - shallow and very warm, the beach only a few minutes walk and no crowds. For a quiet, relaxing week this was fine but they would need to change their beds and hire more staff before I would go back.
