Hotels near sea shore in Spain

The pool area was nice, never had to worry about getting up early for a sun bed as there was always plenty available

The hotel is spotless, the staff are so helpful the rooms are spacious & modernly decorated. We stayed over Christmas arriving on Christmas Eve and it was over and above what we expected

Nice little trip in Gran Canaria in October Internet was great, no drops in service. Room always tidy, beds made every day and fresh towels. Also pool towels in the room so very handy as you don’t need to bring any

Lovely hotel, was late checking in and missed the evening meal, went to the room to find a packed lunch and a bottle of bubbly to welcome us. Food was amazing always plenty of choice and warm

The Christmas Day gala was an a la carte experience that you would have expected to pay a lot of money for at a top restaurant. This was inclusive of the all inclusive board we had paid for

Everything about this hotel is bang on, location ace, if I was to say one thing my husband has a bad back and the bed, for him, was too soft and aggravated his sciatica

The adult section is really nice, we enjoyed it very much, and again, wheelchair accessible right to the edge of the pool, I was really impressed with that. The situation of the hotel was perfect for me front and back

The back gate opens onto the promenade which is so beautiful with the sea and surfers on the other side. Lots of seating right along the promenade, and lots of beautiful shops for the shoppers

There are pools suitable for all ages which we always found warm, we even used one of the kids pools at times

I’m not a foodie but I’m very particular, probably didn’t even try 90% of the food available, but my husband did, and always found something to please him

We were booked just half board and found the food and restaurant much more than adequate

Don’t worry too much about the sun bed situation, there’s always lots available and I never saw anyone having towels taken off beds (even though they should have been)

The view of the airport was unique and fascinating, watching the planes come and go without being disrupted was a daily entertainment! The view from our room 419 was superb, sun, ocean and pool view

Don’t get carried caught with flies on you Excellent hotel resort. However, you have to pay extra for spa pool , tennis and more well known drinks. By the pool we were sometimes pestered by flies

On avery clear day, you can see Tenerife and La Gomera. The convenience of access to transportation, Santa Cruz and many excursions. We strongly recommend a car to access this beautiful but very mountainous island

A little gem of a hotel Have stayed here 3 times now and everything about the hotel is fabulous from the service ,food ,freindleness ,thet cant do enough for you

Everything was great at the hotel from the first day to the last.

Don’t let them stay on you as they bite!!

There was something for each member of the family to enjoy and had lot of fun. Just that beds keep moving apart 😀 And beach was 7 to 8 minutes walk, since we were walking in and out with 3yr old

I had booked another hotel in Mallorca, but there was a problem so I quickly booked this hotel instead

I booked with just 10 minutes' notice, but they were happy to accommodate! I was lucky to get a corner room on a high floor, with a fantastic view of the mountains and ocean from the balcony

The breakfast is extraordinary with an en endless variety, I have ever seen in so many good hotels that I have stayed at. There are so many swimming pools and all very clean, so it was really nice

One thing that surprised me was the large number of families with small children

I didn't hear any children inside the room, but it was quite lively at breakfast! If you'd like to relax a little more, I recommend an adult hotel. The breakfast had a wide variety of options, and the fruit was delicious

Staff working across all service areas in the hotel were very polite, courteous and helpful. Pool and entire area of hotel always very clean, tidy and welcoming, sun beds generally always available

The hotel implements a policy to prevent sun loungers being reserved with towels. Guests respected this during our stay and it was easy to get a lounger by the pool at any time of day

Our room was clean & comfortable, large shower in bathroom which was powerful, maybe a shelf in the shower would help to put toiletries on

The beach is shingles rather than soft sand and the water gets deep quickly - not great conditions for the traditional beach game of bat and ball and not good for very young children

This did not in any way stop myself and my daughter enjoying our stay because we found all other occupants being friendly and respectful, however alternative young english folk may have found it more difficult to socialise in such an environment, had you previously been advised of this fact it could at least give the other holiday makers notes to consider and less cause to complain

My only point that maybe the travel agent could have mentioned though not a negative against the hotel is that the occupancy of the hotel was predominantly of dutch orientation and of an older clientele, average age i would guess being 65+

The buffet offered an amazing selection with something for everyone, and the quality was outstanding. The seafood in particular was impressively fresh and delicious, making each meal something to look forward to

Hotel is in a fab location with the beach on your doorstep and water parks. Lastly I’d like to mention Eidel, for his creative energy and patience making character pancakes in the buffet

They were so playful and attentive with my little one, and they have made her first holiday such a special and memorable experience. It really meant a lot and has left a lasting impression

His kindness really stood out and added to our overall experience and the crêpes are definitely a must. My daughter loved her peppa pig shaped crêpe

A special mention to Eidel, who is an exceptional member of staff – extremely welcoming, warm, and an absolute pleasure to be served by

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff are truly lovely and incredibly friendly, especially with children

I also got to do karoke on evening which was absolutely amazing. Lots of friendly staff at hand. Pools were nice but got quite busy so you have to find a good time to go depending on how crowded you like it

Badly explained that the safe is payable at 4 euros/day, and that the 3 drinks included in the meal are removed. The restaurant is very good, very Mediterranean menus which allow you to eat very healthily if you want

The 3 drinks rule with lunch and dinner is an issue and I feel one that needs to be worked on not everyone likes wine or beer and of you don't drink 3 drinks with you meal don't expect to get one of these outside as its not on offer

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The breakfast buffet was really good, lots of different options. I opted in for a dinner buffet too and that didn’t disappoint

To me that doesn't cover my idea of all inclusive, you could just do what everyone else seems to do and by them cheap at the local spar, no one seems to monitor of be bothered if you brought in your own alcoholic drinks

Plus side hotel room was clean and towels changed and beds made daily. Enterment in the evening is questionable, depending on your taste. Food I found to be good be quite a lot of the same sort of thing

We had a lovely stay at the Riu Vistemar. We were 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 10 year old. Nice restaurant with sea views. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pools were nice, not too busy

smiling and service-minded employees, clean everywhere, beautiful view, good pool areas

A lovely hotel with something for everyone. Rooms are spacious and the staff are wonderful. It is high above a beach and the walk is not practical for most. There is a free bus service and taxi's are €5-6 (Mar 24)

They were small and often stopping while being full. One child's pram and an adult max for size, or 4 people could fit uncomfortablely. Another downside, is the lack of supervision by staff on the pool area's

Pros: Staff do their best to accommodate your stay and work through any issues. Decent amount of food selection for those without dietary restrictions. Shuttle to the beach although the schedule is limited

(We were of floor 1 and had to get to floor 7 for the restaurant and floor 9 to go up to the pools) Throughout the 7 days stay, two of these elevators were not working at separate times, often just leaving two available

Many people know Russian, will always help if that. Drinks are not watered down, all at altitude. The food is always fresh, diverse, fruit, pastries all very tasty. To sea to go about 10 minutes -15

lively and lots of groups but give them some credit what do you expect for the price cheaper than any hostel with booze and food chucked in was cleaned daily and pool area perfect

close to beach and nightlife a budget hotel at a budget price

Rooms so so, no air conditioning TV not working, even if paid. Cleaned every day, but cleaning it to call difficult. Yes, change towels, assure toilet paper, soap. But at the expense of washing floors as it is difficult

2 weeks never and not washed under the bed. But if you don't pay attention to it, you can live. Was in June, no idea what's going on in July or August. The staff is very friendly, smiling

Of the minuses: noisy in the Dorm, zero soundproofing in the rooms, no konduga, the interior is not modern, repairs made on 3. 5/5, wifi paid (5evr day 20 for 7 days)

The pool is lovely and the sunbeds/umbrellas are plentiful, no need for the early morning towel dash! Shops and restaurants are within a 5 minute walk

We stayed at GF Isabel in an apartment and overall had a really nice stay. The location is great – easy to walk to shops, restaurants and the beach, which made everything very convenient

Overall we had a good stay at the GF Isabel, we had a 1 bed apartment which had enough space for a family of 4, the hotel had enough sun beds, pools and bars

Large pool good food but didn’t like killing 59 cockroaches in my room in 2 days and had to ask twice to clean my room properly. Front desk staff we’re great shame about lack of communication

The apartment itself was a good size and practical for a family, although the decor is a little dated in places. That said, everything was clean and worked well. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay

After we checked out, we realised we had left a water bottle behind. When we went back to ask, one of the ladies at the hotel was really kind and helped us find it and return it to us, which we really appreciated

Food is brilliant too with a good mixture at breakfast,lunch and dinner!! Entertainment for children is good throughout the day and evening too! All the staff are very friendly and polite! I would recommend this resort to anyone!!

loved it and really want to go back! food was lovely, staff all very friendly, hotel was clean and well kept. Rooms nice and clean. kids loved it and want to go back but for longer which i agree great value

There is also a shuttle bus into town/beach, it its a nice walk in but a killer coming back if your loaded with bags and its hot

The walls and ceilings showed wear, the bathroom door had signs of past water damage, there was a noticeable smell when opening the door, and the TV was very old

I realise we were there at the end of the season. Would be needed more in the height of summer

Paguera is lovely with a gorgeous beach, Santa Ponsa worth a visit, we went to take our kids to Jungle Park which they loved. Also a day in Palma is well worth a visit. Easy to get a bus from near Lidl

The view was far beyond “partial”: they could admire the sea, lush gardens, outdoor pool, and all the hotel terraces all at once. As for me, I made two separate bookings for a three-night stay

The outdoor pool is impressively large, with plenty of sunbeds available. The entire property was immaculately clean, and the green spaces were greatly maintained

From fresh seafood to superfoods like chia seeds, the buffet offered something for every taste. This hotel truly stands out among the 4* properties we've been to across Europe and the world

The pool is absolutely huge, and that was a big plus for us, as the kids spent most of the day at the pool area and enjoyed the kids splash park during its opening hours

I booked a side sea view room for my parents, and they were given probably the best possible one: located on the 5th floor at the far end of the hotel

They are working hard, but it seemed like the staff at Royal Andaluz was enjoying their work more :) Pool area: - the aqua fun pool for kids is located at a place that stays in the shadow in the morning and the water is super cold - it's only allowed for height between 80 and 150 cm, so parents with toddlers are not invited, which is a bummer for toddlers who most probably won't go on a ride by themselves...

We traveled with our children, and even though it was the off-season in December, the hotel arranged excellent activities and entertainment for kids, so we never felt bored. Our children really enjoyed their time

I stayed at the hotel in December, during the off-season, and despite that, there were various activities prepared for guests in the evenings, which made the stay even more enjoyable

Our kids especially loved the different kinds of sweets. The hotel offers both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, all very well maintained, as well as a spa and wellness center

The food was amazing — the quality was outstanding, with a wide variety of options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests. All meals were served fresh and hot

There was live music every evening at the lobby bar, which added a nice atmosphere to our stay. Overall, the quality of the hotel and food was excellent

We would definitely recommend Hipotel Barrosa Park to families with kids, elderly guests, and couples. We would happily stay here again

The gym wasn’t really a gym and the few machines are a little dated 2 of the 3 lifts were out of order which is poor form for the opening day of the season On a positive the hotel was clean, staff were brilliant, huge bar area that was reasonably well priced for a hotel and had a friendly feel

Breakfast was self serve and brilliant. So many options and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was clean and beds were comfy, air con worked well and a giant fan above the bed would be great in the summer

Despite having 3 people on the front desk we waited nearly 20 minutes to check in and 20 to check out. The information gathering is bizarre and the time it takes is frustrating

There was also a bit of a damp smell throughout the hotel but this is understandable as the hotel has been shut for many months

The bathroom was well equipped albeit the shower was a little weak

The location was good as only a few hundred meters from the city centre and has a great pool area and has direct access to the beach (just a shame the weather meant we couldn’t enjoy the facilities) Whilst my review has a negative undertone I am probably being a little picky and I did enjoy my stay and I certainly will return when next visiting Conil

The food really let it down, I'm not fussy but struggled to find something I liked, the salad bar was good and the bean stew but everything with meat in was awful and really salty with bones in everything even turkey cutlets had bones in them

Animation part is disappointing during the evening, have been to many hotels with animation for kids, however this one is just one woman shouting on the stage and playing songs not suitable for kids! And adults show is ok one day and another day is just some amateur dance

The hotel is lovely and clean, room are good in size. Staff are friendly but have limited English so brush on your Spanish it would be helpful. The entertainment team are great, one doesn't speak English but the rest do

We've just returned from a 5 night stay in a two bedroom apartment. On the first night we had an issue with the air con not working

We had a couple of issues in our room, the shower rail kept falling down and the bathroom flooded each time the maintenance team was there within ten minutes, very efficient

Great hotel - with excellent service, especially from Jonathan in the Bar who was very friendly and great at his job and made the whole experience even better!!

If there is one downside, it would be that if the pool water had been warmer, we definitely would have spent much more time playing in the water

If we ever decide to return to this hotel, it will be because of them. Guys, thank you so much for your amazing hospitality — you are truly an asset to the hotel! I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone

Tom impressed us with his excellent English skills and his deep knowledge of the area. Thanks to his recommendations, we discovered the best spots on the island and learned so much about Gran Canaria itself

Alberto was incredibly friendly and supportive throughout our stay — always smiling, approachable, and ready to help with anything we needed. His positive attitude truly made a difference every single day

There was continuous attention for children, with games and clubs always available, and the staff kept coming up with fun and creative activities just for them. Adults could enjoy themselves as well

During Christmas, there was a Santa train, delicious food, and a Willy Wonka musical on stage—the performance quality was exceptionally high. I would like to express my sincere thanks to them

With 3 meals plus snacks provided throughout the day, we had no need to go and search for food. There was a little bit of everything for everyone's palate

I stayed 3 nights very comfortably~ It was a resort type, so it seemed like it was full of excitement day and night, and breakfast was included, and it was so delicious that I paid for dinner and ate it, and I was very satisfied👍🏻 It was a little disappointing that I couldn't see the ocean, but it was a very satisfactory accommodation for the price~

From European, Italian, American food and let's not forget this place caters to kids even for meals. By far, the breakfast is TOP NOTCH

Halfway through our family vacation and all we can say is WOW. Booked the full board package for a family of 3 and nothing but stellar

We enjoyed the stay here a lot. Breakfast and Dinner is really good and all servers are so friendly.

Only 1 block away from the beach and a short €15 (3 people) bus ride (A2), and the stop is right out in front of the hotel

There is also a sandy beach a 10 minute walk away and plenty of shops within a 5 minute walk from the hotel! 5 stars for Riu Papayas!

Genuinely an amazing hotel, would return in a heartbeat. The staff are extremely attentive and polite. The cleaners work non stop round the clock and the place is spotless

We went on 3 trips with help from the Tui rep within the hotel and they were great! The riu parties are a lot of fun and easy to book and transfer is quick! Lastly, the entertainment has variety and there is always something to do during the day

The entertainment team are kind and funny, special mention to Jose who made the holiday

Lovely hotel. Good food and drink options. Lovely staff. Would stay again

There were enough beds for everyone, but the usual ‘get up at 5 to get the bed I want but not turn up until the afternoon’ people were very much present here. Staff were lovely and the hotel is very clean

Facilities in the hotel were amazing. Gorgeous pool, Billiards space available. Multiple restaurants and bar areas. Multiple lounge spacing near the pools

Food let hotel down, even for an all inclusive it was really bad at times. Breakfast was good but lunch was consistently not up to par. Dinner service had some choice. Staff were the shining factor for my stay

Only thin sheets available which wasn’t the best as it can be a little frosty over night. No irons in the hotel - only dry clean service which I’ve never encountered fresh bottle of water daily

Worth noting though quite a bit not included in all inclusive drinks package e. g mojito etc cocktails not available at main restaurant - only tap wine, sangria and beer

They sell sun cream and nappies but quite expensive so may want to bring from home, a pack of swim nappies was 14 euros! There are no irons in the room, a laundry service is provided but expensive (prices in photos)

I booked a double room - clean and functional. Had a smart TV however no apps on it or option to download which was very disappointing

The food throughout my stay was excellent, the live cooking stations were a great touch, and the pool area was immaculate with thoughtful touches such as the towel service that made everything feel a little more premium

Overall good, a few tweaks needed to make it better. We were on the 2nd floor and had booked a sea view room which was spacious and had a good sized balcony and fabulous views

The hotel is located by the sea, which is a good location, but the breakfast wasn't very good. I think if you want peace and quiet, don't come here; choose another hotel.

Perfect location close to the sea and all the shops and restaurants. Positives: Clean spacious room with great sea view. Comfortable bed and choice of 3 pillows each. Good quality bed linen and large towels

The hotel is in a fabulous location, on the sea front and close to the old town and many bars and restaurants. All staff were friendly and professional and Fatima our room maid was particularly wonderful

Our room was serviced daily and linen and towels changed frequently. The lobby bar was great and very reasonably priced. Breakfast offered a good choice with omelettes cooked to order
