ALEGRIA El Mar

"We have just arrived back and I can honestly say this hotel is beautiful and just what we were looking for. The location was great, 30 minutes from the airport, and walk straight out the back of the hotel across the prom/road to the beach and also the train station ( the trains are really quiet and can’t be heard from the hotel) and runs across the back of the beach which was lovely to watch. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants around this area. The hotel and pool area were clean. What we loved is that there were always sun beds available. We arrived at the hotel around 11am and managed to get 4 easily! The food was really good. Always pasta, pizza and chips for the children. I’m quite fussy, but I managed to find lots that I liked. The only slight negative was that they could probably do with a few more staff cooking the fresh food, as quite often on the pasta and pizza area, one chef was cooking both, so on occasions you might have to wait 5 minutes, but that wasn’t a massive problem. Our room was lovely and modern and cleaned to a high standard every day with fresh towels. Staff were friendly and the entertainment team worked really hard each day entertaining guests.! I would definitely recommend this hotel and ignore the negative reviews!"

"Sandra and Laya did en excellent job with kids also the kids makeup. The animation was great. Kids had lots of fun; the music, dance, games, makeup and etc We had lots of fun. Very friendly with the kids and kids also enjoyed every bit of it. We love them"

"Lovely refurbed hotel. Rooms are smart yet compact (not much storage) a few cleaning issues like a giant hairball which was left everyday by the cleaners. Pool was good and always easy to get a sunbed (no one saving them which was good) Food was average but everything you can think of for your average buffet. Entertainment staff were the best part. From dawn till dusk they worked hard entertaining and it didnt go a miss. How lovely the women were with our children too! Can’t eat your own food around the pool yet if you want to smoke cannabis thats completely fine and no one stopped it?! Area is OK and can walk down the strip however not many restaurants mainly shops and bars or takeaway food places."
