San Agustin Beach Club

"This hotel has lots of positives , the main being the location. Just a few steps out of a gate then directly on to the fantastic coastal boardwalk , ideal for exercise /coffees/ lunch etc. The staff at the hotel are fantastic , the food was generally very good although a 5 course dinner with 5 very small courses could be better replaced with a 3 course dinner or very good buffet. It’s a lot of work for staff with two consecutive dinner servings & can feel a bit chaotic for the diner. Breakfast buffet fantastic. The outdoor area needs properly manning and heaters to make more comfortable on cooler evenings , after dinner there isn’t anywhere to sit and relax comfortably so inevitably people return to their rooms or go out. Unfortunately a couple of big negatives for us . Our first two days were very noisy around the pool, first day hammering into an outdoor roof bar and second day replacement of metal stair rail and posts the full length of the outdoor staircase . There was no notice given/apologies made or any sweetener to say thank you for putting up with the noise and disruption of relaxing time around the pool. During our stay on the second floor balcony two male visitors covered their balcony with a blanket and towels , we woke to the smell of pot /weed and they smoked all day on the balcony. After some time we reported this to reception who said they had already received a complaint and it wasn’t against the law. We witnessed a manager having a look but nothing was done about it. A hotel which attracts such lovely international customers should not have to endure the smell permeating around the pool and balconies. It is unfortunate to have to include in this in the review but management were informed. Overall very nice stay"

"We have just returned home to Helsinki from a week's pleasant holiday at the beautiful San Agustin Beach Club hotel, of which we can't say anything negative about. The whole staff was cordial and polite. Food was good and the half board menu of five cources was suprisingly fun experience. The atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and e.g. you could actually sleep in yor sunbed by the pool, because there were never that kind of loud pool music that is unfortunately so common by many hotel pools these days. The hotel building’s public areas interiors look similar to interiors of old Atlantic ocean steamers. So nice looking. We hope that the hotel liked us - as much as we liked the hotel."

"•Firstly the cons....No tea and coffee top up. 2 teabags and 2 coffee capsules provided. Never happened before. •1 socket in room and ours was not near the bed. Bring or buy multi adapter. • Gym is a joke. 3 pieces of equipment in a hot, small area. No weights. No stretching area. Forget gym. • "fridge" damaged inside and rusty marks. Told it is not there to keep things cool. Temperature lower than room might be ok ...for what I'm not sure🤔 •set of drawers would be useful • bathroom needs updating. Mushroom coloured suite and doors over bath. Hand Towel rail next to bidet! Positive notes. ☆ location great as right on beach ☆cleanliness outstanding ☆Staff helpful ☆Safe at a cost of 2.50 euros per day ☆old fashioned but stylish. Like a 1940s ship. Dark wood. ☆spacious room Get sea view. Beer cheaper than outside the hotel which is unusual. Bar service during the day not always staffed. You have to wait. Snacks at bar were v good but more choices for sandwiches needed. Evening meals were small but there were 5 courses. Two separate sittings. High quality food. 2 nights there was a barbecue with buffet...excellent. Entertainment was mixed Only 1 night with a singer on until 10pm who was v good. Other Entertainment : flamenco, circus, pianist, saxophone, Spanish duo...some good some poor. Shopping centre close by..15 minute walk. Lots of restaurants/ bars. Very quiet area. Hotel quiet no animation etc. Great if you want peaceful atmosphere. Not suitable for children. We loved it. 1 hours walk to del ingles. We would go back."
