Playadulce

"This hotel is a bit dated, with big marble flooring/blue and white wall tiles and large Ottoman style light fittings in the public areas but the staff work hard to keep it clean and tidy. Our trip started badly with first visit to the bar area- chewing gum on my shorts! We upgraded to a modern room , overlooking the beach- queen beds, walk in shower, robes, kettle etc. Well worth the 180 Euros for our 10 day stay. Safe extra. Two main gripes_ 1 The food was not to our tastes-lukewarm and like canteen catering. Many seemed to enjoy it but some walked out. Soup was our saviour! Labelling on the food dishes was very haphazard with fish and other items together which could cause cross contamination. But breakfasts were excellent with a wide variety of food to suit all tastes, maybe sometimes overcooked. 2 Main gripe is location. If you like to laze by the pool or have your own transport, then may be OK. We like to get out and about to "taste" the local community but you are about 1 mile from anything. Tapas bars closed, no restaurants, no shops, marina about a mile although the prom is a pleasant walk apart from the fruit dropping off the palm type trees and making a helluva mess. We loved the indoor pool 'cos it was very warm and largely unused with plenty sunbeds inside and out. Plus the door to the pool was directly opposite our room door (212). Weather was excellent apart from a tiny splash of rain and a couple of dullish days. After I had got over my bad mood from feeling "captive", we enjoyed our stay, apart from the shortcomings mentioned above but Playadulce and Aguadulce are not for us. Finally, most of the doors in our corridor didn't fit properly and had to be slammed. Don't know anything about the other bedrooms in the hotel but most seem to have shower over bath fitting which would not have suited our mobility."

"didnt realise that the nearest supermarket was almost a mile away...taxi job. TV had no english/UK progs on and the showers were dangerous for older people like my self..there were NO grab rails to assist getting i to bath. the hotel looks tired a worn....time for an update. it was i must say kept spotlessly clean linen changed every day. Food there was at least something i liked every day though not UK food very friendly. if you want a quiet peaceful holiday then this is the place for you if you like to sit round the pool all day. sadlyi wont be returning to that area again"

"Family Holiday -Stayed from 28.09.25-05.10.25, Room 822. It was last minute holiday for our family, we stayed in room 822 .Hotel has fantastick location,great amenities,fantastick views and excursion opurtunities , including very warm temperature water indoor pool,with water massage/ and two outdoor pools, with very warm temperature water jacuzzi ,absolutely perferct, plenty of sunbeds to choose at any angle of pool area.Hotel located next to the beach-back gates led to the wonderful ,relaxing beach and waterfront area, where is shops,bars caffees and restaurants, also great nighlife. Room 822 was cleaned every day , hige thank you to Housekeeping staff,towels changed every day, also Hotel providing beach towel and water for hotel guests, which unfortunately wasnt said on check- in at the reception, we were checked in by Marc,however he mentioned us he will explain later regards towels, but forgot, we found out by our selves by asking to other member of the reception staff Oscar,who really showed his great customer skills and he is great asset to the company,he provided exceptional service with welcoming attitude and smile,and explained all details ,he also offered water on the last day before travel home. We also had issue with our transfers to get back home, which was related to mix up with company where we booked holidays, (not relatable to Hotel),but Reception Staff members -Daniel and Lidia helped us to resolve issue with communication and phone calls ,which we were greatfull.They are also had great customer care skills,and was very helpfull. In the Hotel room ,we felt its lacked Welcome / Information pack, which should of contained all information for hotels amenities,restaurant times,beach towel accesability,anything really need to know as a guest,we had to ask and find out by ourselves and sometimes we felt we are asking to many questions,felt very unusual,also there wasnt any tea / coffee caddy in the room. We were looking for any water sport activities, but season was over, even it was 27 degrees hot, so we couldnt find any, however we had best time when we visited MiniHollywood Oasys,which we bought tickets ourselves and visited via bus.Also went to City Almeria with buss and Roquetas . Overall the holidays was amazing, very relaxing,sightseeing,great shopping amenities,fantastick local spanish culture shined trough,which was our main expectation. We also enjoyed all food choices what was on the offer, we had breakfast and dinner inclusive,food provided by Hotel was delicious, great spanish food, with small twist of other tastefull menu choices, Food and Beverage staff was hard working , amazing, allways cleaned tables, everthing been well managed by supervisors , cheffs and overall we fantastic stay, would definately will stay there again, also suggested to my friends to stay here ."
