Hotel Alhambra

Wouldn’t stay again. Hotel wasn’t too bad but there was no real atmosphere, sadly the pool is in a mostly shaded area, food was okay however the restaurant felt quite cramped by the food stations making it difficult to queue. $5 euros non refundable for a pool towel in a hotel was weird. Gym was fine however no air flow so felt quite hot and stuffy.

Check in was easy. Arrived shortly after midnight. No offer for a snack after travelling 10hrs. Room was fantastic! Not one but two balconies! No sun as north facing. Not a problem. Small selection of toiletries. Comfy bed. Asked for more pillows, which the lovely cleaning lady sorted. Fridge in room. Weirdly no water to see you through to the morning, so grab drinks in airport. No kettle. So, if you like a coffee in your room bring kettle, cups and spoon. No Do Not Disturb door signs!.Air con was a bit rubbish.. Can imagine it would be a nightmare in height of summer. Food was not great. Everything cooked in way too much fat. Didn't eat in there after 1st 2 days as had terrible bloating. Good selection of fruits and breads. Just the usual types that push in ..so sharpen your elbows! Restaurant is located in basement. No windows, and airless. Again i can imagine this to be rather on the warm side in high season. Staff are perfectly pleasant. Do not go to the Deli Supermarket across from hotel. A thoroughly rude man in there. Better shops along the main road for water and room nibbles. Did feel at times they don't want English there, which was a shame. Beach was ace. Go under the railway track and you're there. One great beach bar opposite Tahiti hotel. Lovely staff and toilets. Choo-choo tourist train was brilliant. Takes you up the mini mountain and a selection of carparks, which we chuckled at!!! They only accept cards on the route. All in all nice break. But wouldn't come back solely due to the world being a big place and I like new adventures.

Stayed here for 4 nights with family and children! Can not praise this hotel enough! The rooms were cleaned everyday, fresh towels and the maids were so friendly. The food selection was good, all the staff at the hotel were amazing especially Jimmy the children’s entertainer, he was so great with the children and made us laugh! The hotel is in a great spot, close to the shops, restaurants and beach! I would definitely recommend and will 100% be back again, the atmosphere is amazing in the evenings with love bands and singers and the bar staff are friendly and polite! I would give this hotel a 10/10!
