Similar to other reviewers we were concerned about what we were going to turn up to, needless to say we should of ignored the bad reviews as the hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and happy to help, yes some waiters spoke little English, but you are in Spain, embrace it :) We really enjoyed the food, it was delicious and lots of choice. We particularly enjoyed the fresh grilled chicken and pizzas, and desserts were so good too. We also enjoyed the Japanese à la carte, though did feel this experience could have been made a little more special in the small details - but no biggy! Lots of high chairs and very family friendly too. We stayed as a family, in a sea view room with two double beds, which could have been a little bigger but really how much time do you spend in a room at the end of the day! The travel cot was a great size and comfortable for our baby. The view from the balcony was beautiful and I am glad we paid to upgrade to the sea view room. My son loved the water slides in the children’s pool, which was warmer than the other pools due to being shallow. This was great as we didn’t have to worry about him ending up in the “deep end”. We went to the mini disco a couple of times, unfortunately the timing of it (before dinner) didn’t always work out as we like to enjoy the last of the days sunshine. If you have children, one thing to note is that dinner doesn’t start until 7.30pm - again very reflective of Spanish culture so we just embraced it! Of course there are certain areas for improvement, however for us we felt the hotel was not able to cope with significant numbers of people turning up, such as putting out more sunbeds, enforcing no towel reservations, quicker service for entrance at the restaurant. Earlier in the week, no one reserved sunbeds and it made for a much more chill holiday, but when the half term holidays started to arrive, that went out of the window. All in all, I would definitely recommend to any families looking for a lovely break away in the sunshine!

“Disappointing Stay Despite Great Pools”

We recently stayed at Mediterraneo Bay and unfortunately came away feeling quite disappointed overall. Our holiday didn't get off to a great start. Due to travel delays, we arrived around six hours later than expected. After a long journey, we were disappointed that there was no offer of food or even bottled water on arrival, with the only option being a vending machine. The food itself had enough variety to cater for both adults and children, but it became very repetitive throughout the week. Meals were often only lukewarm and many of the meat options were quite fatty. Drinks were usually taken when you first sat down in the restaurant, but they were rarely replenished during the meal. The rooms were adequate but lacked basic facilities you would expect from a hotel of this standard. There were no tea or coffee making facilities and the fridge was not stocked with any drinks. One of the biggest frustrations was the sunbed situation. Although notices clearly stated that reserving sunbeds was not allowed, guests regularly did so without any intervention from staff. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the pool area. There was a fantastic choice of pools and plenty to keep children entertained throughout the day. However, the snack/grill bar offered a very limited choice at lunchtime and there was only one outdoor bar serving drinks, which resulted in long queues at peak times. Outside the hotel, there wasn't a great deal to do. The surrounding area lacks shops, restaurants and attractions, so you are quite reliant on the hotel facilities. Evening entertainment was also underwhelming. The mini disco was strangely scheduled before the restaurant even opened, making it awkward for families. Afterwards, entertainment mainly consisted of Spanish singers, which didn't offer much variety. The violinist, however, was absolutely fantastic and was one of the standout parts of our stay. The biggest issue was the huge influx of Spanish weekend guests, which appeared to overwhelm the hotel's facilities. Meal times became extremely frustrating, with queues regularly exceeding 20 minutes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What should have been a relaxing all-inclusive holiday often felt like standing in line at a busy transport hub. This was especially difficult when travelling with young children. The atmosphere around the hotel also changed dramatically at weekends. The pool area became crowded and uncomfortable, with little consideration shown for other guests. Finding a sunbed was difficult, noise levels increased significantly, and the overall environment felt far less relaxing than during the quieter periods of our stay. We also encountered a level of rudeness from some guests that detracted from the holiday experience. There seemed to be very little respect for queues, personal space, or shared facilities, which created an unpleasant atmosphere throughout the hotel. While the hotel itself has potential and some positive features, the management needs to address how it handles peak weekend occupancy. The combination of long waits for food, overcrowding, and the inconsiderate behaviour we experienced meant that this was not the relaxing holiday we had hoped for. Overall, while the pool facilities were excellent and there were some positive aspects to the stay, the poor service, overcrowding, repetitive food, lack of facilities and weekend chaos mean that we would not choose to return.

We weren’t impressed with the area quite run down outside of the hotel and many places not open yet. Hotel had great food and very clean but rooms were basic and in need of some tlc. Along with hallways and stairs that need works and tlc… No kettle in room Two days we had to pay for loungers on the beach as not space anywhere around the pool. 9am towels all saved on loungers even though it states people aren’t to do it. Hotel evening entertainment was repetitive.
