Royal Alhambra Palace

"I admit that we were afraid to go there after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and other sites. We even sometimes had the impression that people were in 2 different hotels, so much could the comments range from "catastrophic" to "really great"! I am still here for now and frankly, I am delighted to have formed my own opinion. Superb hotel, top-notch pools (although very cold at the end of October), food is really varied and there is a choice, even for children. Impossible to be hungry here. There are snacks available at any time of the day, bars, entertainment, a large sandy beach with a water sports club next door... Honestly, I think that all the criticisms read are unfounded. Yes, like everywhere, there are things that will please one person less than another, but honestly, we are very happy and are having a very good vacation! My summary? Highly recommended!"

"The hotel looks nice from the outside, but disappoints in important areas. The rooms were not cleaned properly, and there were opened drinks and food scraps from the previous guests in the refrigerator. The dining was a disaster: tasteless food, long wait times, and hardly any free tables. You had to look for chairs, cutlery, glasses, and water yourself. Despite tipping, we were ignored by the service staff. The beach directly in front of the hotel was a single patch of mud. Although it had rained beforehand, the problem was significantly less at the neighboring hotels."

"My wife, my daughter, and I stayed there. This year, as expatriates visiting Germany, we stayed in many different hotels. Value-for-money hotel. There are problems in all aspects of operational management. The food was average. We tried to reach the food and beverage manager but couldn't. The chefs are indifferent. The staff are focused on tips, but it's difficult with the low-quality drinks. The concept could be improved. Expectations are high for the royals... The staff are casual when talking amongst themselves. Qualified and attentive staff are a thing of the past. We never experienced being served; we always had to queue up ourselves. Good luck"
