Hotel Playas de Torrevieja

"Currently waiting for our taxi to return us to the airport after a lovely week. I was a bit apprehensive as we got such a good deal for a family of 5 but apart from the lack of food to choose from I couldn’t fault the hotel or the staff. Views are one of the best I’ve ever had and in the past we’ve paid for less of a view from our balcony. All the staff we came across were always friendly and said hello. The drinks we were shocked to find they don’t give you cheap anything it’s all the real deal even down to the Diet Coke! We would definitely return. Sad to be leaving. The rooms were spacious and the immaculate. Sad to be leaving. We would definitely return."

"We stayed from 7-14 October and were absolutely thrilled with the hotel from arrival to departure. The room was really spacious for a couple, with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea, we opted for a safe which we had to pay 14 euros for but gave us peace of mind, there was also a fridge in the room which was great. The pool and facilities were good and the bar well stocked as we were all inclusive premium so could have premium spirits, even at the pool side bar (didn't get the bar mans name but very friendly and helpful to us). The guys behind the main bar Alain and Luis were fantastic all week, happy to help everyone whilst keeping a smile on their faces. The entertainment team were very good with the children that were staying, always plenty to do and we had the pleasure of meeting Pulpi too. The buffet food each day was varied and we ate there for all three meals most days. Location is great for the beach (La Mata) a tiny stroll along from the hotel, and there are various bars restaurants along the front and a really lovely market in the streets of the town on a Wednesday. If you like a walk, then it's walkable to get into main Torrevieja which we did twice, there and back, took about 30 minutes each way, but if not the A bus goes in and out regularly and the bus stop is right outside the hotel. A big thank you to all the staff from reception to restaurant, bar and housekeeping, you all do the hotel proud. We genuinely were upset to leave. Would highly recommend this hotel."

"Just got back from a week here. Here is my honest review: Pros - so clean! Rooms are immaculate and we got fresh towels every day. The bar isn’t expensive (we were full board) €3 for a beer. The food was not bad, something for everyone. Lovely view of the beach and pool. The little slide was a huge hit with my son. The cocktails were strong! They use proper spirits, so good if you’re all inclusive! Cons - there are not enough sunbeds. This then causes people to queue at the barrier and then run to a bed when it’s opened. The pool and barrier is open from 10am. This seemed late in my opinion with children. The pool was crowded, very busy. No lilos allowed and the lifeguard is on a power trip, so strict! The dinner is open from 8pm, again very late for small children. The entertainers are Spanish and I couldn’t understand them when they tried to speak English. They do favour the Spanish families/children. There isn’t a huge lot to do on your doorstep, so be prepared to walk or taxi. There was no pool towels. The pool area and sunbeds are all in the shade from 5pm. All in all, we had a lovely holiday but I wouldn’t go back to this hotel, the lack of sunbeds put me off"
