This is now our forever hotel. 🌞 Everything here was lovely. We felt so relaxed and happy. Solarium peaceful, sunbeds plentiful. 🏖Bed super comfy and soft.🛏 Apartment very nice, and our little patio had the sun all day. Maid service and clean towels every day. Food fabulous! 🥗Very good selection especially as i only eat fish and veg. Cakes gorgeous! 🍰Beach very nice,🏜 looked like its had a makeover with new sand and a new bar. We made lots of cat friends. They have a white feeding tent next to the gate that leads to the beach. We took a 15 min walk to the mercadona and bought them some cat biscuits and meat. We also topped up their water every day as they needed a lot. Please buy the cats some food if you come here and like furry little friends 🐱 🌈

So just back from a weeks chilled holiday with the wife, nice room and food acceptable, drinks just about passable, reception staff very helpful, barmen/women work very hard ,shout out to Miguel who went above and beyond,the biggest let down was the animation although they did try to include the English,some blatantly blanked the British and was noticeable, the evening entertainment was only done in France,although we knew this before we went I couldn't believe just how the British were not included in anything,walked down to the beach and back most days to break the holiday up a bit,wife dud enjoy the gym classes but once again they struggled with the English, wouldn't go back unless the hotel at least tried to include the english

We stayed for 2 weeks and paid the extra for the My Favourite Club. It is not worth the extra money! The food was very good overall but I would recommend staying away from the Nubium Mare Restaurant - portions are absolutely tiny and wait was unacceptable. We went to the ordinary buffet after our dinner and we didnt go the second time. This is not a good hotel for people with mobility issues. Our room was nice enough (and very clean with lovely housekeeping staff) but we had suitcases on wheels which we had to trundle over very uneven surfaces around the pool area. The bathrooms have had the tiles painted and the paint was peeling and just looked worn out. The buffet was varied and there was loads of food choices and overall it was excellent. I cannot fault the food side of things. My Favourite Club guests get to sit in a little sectioned off area of the big dining room but we only ate in their twice as you need to get your food from the buffet and take it to the area which is the furthest from the buffet! We tended to eat outside which suited us better. We took a bottle of wine fromthe MFC area - as it was possibly marginally better - to our outside table. I got a few 'looks' but showed my wristband and nothing was said. The beach is difficult to access down a very steep, wide pathway. The beach itself is sandy, clean and gentle slope to the sea. I think the hotel should have some sun loungers of its own on the beach as peopke have to pay a guy 15 Euros for 2 loungers and an umbrella. The My Favourite Club lounge was rubbish. No atmosphere, blaring music from the animation team and pool immediately below which went on all day. The choice of snacks was very limited in the My Favourite Club Lounge and often there was nothing left. There was a wide variety of self serve alcohol - including some good brands. Lots of bottled beer and pop. Very nice coffee maching in the MFC Lounge. We have previously stayed at Alua Suites in Corralejo which was much better facilities. A nice tip is to wander down the steep path to the beach taking some nuts or fruit for the many chipmunks which come right up to you and beg. They are lovely and will come up and touch your legs to attract your attention if you stop and show any interest. (These are so cute and will race off if you say boo to them.) There is a nice snack bar for drinks (and a clean loo) on the beach so take some Euros with you. There is parking outside the front of the hotel and a car park opposite the entrace. Its a quiet road. The dining room staff are fantastic. Indeed the staff in all the hotel were great. The hotel does look like it needs a refurb and I believe it is currently up for sale. I would not pay the extra for the My Favourite Suite rooms - but they are the nearest to the main hotel and food areas so they are a necessity if you have mobility issues.
