Fergus Style Punta Arabi

"Beautiful hotel with no doors on bathrooms 😂fantastic location for the Wednesday Hippy market at Es Canar! Problem with my room which was not directly sorted to my satisfaction however went back and spoke to Marta the duty manager who not only dealt with it straightaway also included a birthday treat for me . Couldn’t ask for more Marta and her team showed that they went above and beyond! Would definitely recommend and book again ❤️"

"We picked this hotel due to its quiet nature except on weds when the hippy market descends which also brings along with it the smell of cannabis. We loved a lot about this hotel and would come again for the facilities alone. It is not without its problems.. the rooms are very small and smaller than a cabin on a cruise ship this was ok in the end as we only slept and showered in it. The bathroom was tiny and not very clean and tired. There is absolutely nowhere to put anything in we were balancing contact solution on the soap dispenser could do with a little shelf which would make the stay alot more pleasant. The bathroom door didnt close but we did have a door lots didnt 🙈. Right now the good bits the swimming pool was very clean and lovely.. it strictly opens at 10..at first I was a bit miffed as an early riser and swimmer but we went to the beach instead. But no one reserves a sunbed which is great. And we came at 10.30 one day still plenty of beds. Smoking is apparently banned in the pool area but not enforced which is unpleasant as an non smoking asthmatic. The snack bar was super and the food freshly cooked and the sweet potato fries to die for. Hippy market day it was carnage and not a pleasant lunch experience. I think you shouldn't allow outsiders in at least one of the lunch venues in order for your paying guests to have a pleasant lunch time. The market didn't really impact the pool as they have security on the gate. The main dining hall food was lovely we are early eaters so found it was a pleasant experience we enjoyed all the food. The choice was limited compared to other all inclusive hotels but this wasn't a bad thing it made choosing easier. The bar situation at night was a little bland what you really need is a lounge area or the bit by the pool left open so you could drink by the gorgeous view. The room was compact not so bijou and not as clean as it should be under the bed was filthy. Shower gel and shampoo supplied was lovely and we came hand luggage only so hired pool towels for 10 euros each which could be changed everyday thankfully as there is absolutely nowhere on the small outside space to dry towels and swimmers. But towels were changed every day as you had absolutely nowhere to hang them a hook on back of door would of made all the difference. Overall we had a lovely holiday and all the problems wouldn't prevent us from coming again. Its a great location. Quiet peaceful hotel."

"Firstly would like to say what a lovely welcome Paloma gave us. The hotel suited our needs for an additional week in the sun and to aid going to see David Guetta at Ushuaia down the coast. We wanted a quiet hotel away from the action for the rest of the time. Staff were very friendly. Food was ok; standard AI repetitive offering but main issue was that it was always cold. Hotel very relaxed, to the point of setting your own table (which we were kind of ok with but not used to). Site was very odd layout with large unused areas and scruffy service/logistics spaces dotted all over rather than kept away from guests as in most hotels. Entertainment very old fashioned with caberet type old crooners. Cockroaches in our room a couple of times; think this was environmental rather than a cleanliness issue. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss (either knocking on door at 0830 or never came) Twin beds shoved together very hard and could feel springs. Think if we'd known how early the chaos and noise started (6am) on Punta Arabi market day we would have chosen another place - On Wednesday each week approx 400 stall holders descend on the site and take over. Approximately 10000 visitors (according to internet info) come through the hotel grounds. Market ends about 1800 and stalls are all gone by about 2000. There is security to stop shoppers going to pool area and they can only use Hippy Bar. The market did however inject some much needed atmosphere and we did enjoy wandering around it (although we personally prefer Las Dalias) We hadn't expected or necessarily needed luxury on this holiday and we didn't get it. Pool was nice enough and temperature made getting in easy. Probably too many sunbeds squeezed into space. If you want a pleasant relaxing break without splurging then this could suit."
