Abora Catarina By Lopesan Hotels

"My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights and to be honest, we can't knock the hotel. We were a bit pessimistic after reading other reviews but found the negative exaggerated. Upon arrival the receptionist was lovely, clearly telling us everything we needed to know and directions to our room. We boosted up to premium drinks and were each given a gold wristband (definitely worth the boost for the choice of premium drinks available). Although some leave negative reviews regarding food, we found plenty of choice. There's plenty of sun loungers available around the pool and plenty more spread just off the poolside. Although we didn't really take part in activities the animation team are fun, friendly and try to get as many involved as possible. Our room was very large with a good sized balcony too and looking around they all seemed to be similar in size. The dunes are only a few minute walk away from hotel and definitely worth a visit. The only negative I could give the place, there is not a big enough smoking area, I'm sure another area could be created with tables and chairs away from non smokers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will go back again."

"Had a lovely holiday. I was a bit concerned when I read that it was being shut for refurbishment in April and expected old beds and scruffy rooms but that wasn't the case. I had a lovely room and slept really well the whole week. Very comfortable and quiet. Food was very good and salads were fantastic. How anyone can complain about the food is beyond me. There was so much choice. Entertainment team were great and all friendly staff. Never had to queue long at the bar. My only one small complaint was the sun loungers. They were so uncomfortable. There is a very convenient shuttle bus to the beach. Near to supermarkets and the bus stop. Buses are cheap but can be crowded. Peurto Rico bus station was awful with people pushing in all directions. We took a taxi to the market for 6.50 euro each way."

"A very tired hotel in need of some serious improvements. Pool areas very tatty. Missing tiles and peeling paint in the pools and the surrounds. Nice rooms but no option to regulate the temperature. Aircon is on or off! The food is pretty appalling. Limited choices and really poor quality ingredients particularly the meats. The drinks on the all inclusive are like rocket fuel and the wines on tap are undrinkable. This hotel is no where near a 4 star and nothing like the other Lopesan hotels."
