Globales Almirante Farragut Hotel

My husband and I stayed here for a week in October. The room was a perfect size with a comfy bed, a good size shower and a balcony with table and chairs overlooking the inlet. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. I have coeliac disease and every day I would be shown what food was safe for me to eat. Normally I would be shown by the Maitre De who was very aware of cross contamination (a real issue for coeliacs) but if I was shown by anyone else and they were unsure they would always double check with the chef. There was plenty of choice of food for everyone and all very tasty. The animation team were busy every day providing different activities for people to do. We don't get involved in that and pleased that they did not try and push people who just wanted to lie by the pool and relax into doing activities. The entertainment in the evening was OK. Only one we really wanted to see was the Motown act and were a bit disappointed by this. Did not seem to have enough seating as lots of people stood up. They have the normal bingo, quiz and karaoke nights which seemed very popular. We spent most evenings in the adult bar or went down into the town. The pool was very cold. I only dared go in in the afternoon when a little warmer but still cold. The little inlet nearby was nice and warmer than the pool. All in all a nice hotel and a lovely holiday.

Large hotel, but we arrived at the end of the season so some floors closed down. Room was well appointed with good sized private balcony with great sea view. Comfortable bed and range of pillows and cushions. Walk-in shower was great size and always had hot water. Lighting was a bit hit and miss. Just very bright or nothing. No subdued bedside lights/reading lights. Plenty of English channels on the t.v. and tea-making facilities plus a good size fridge. Large wardrobe with loads of hangers and shelves. Disappointed with the cost of the key safe so we decided not to pay and spoke to others who did the same. Why don't they just charge a reasonable rate and make some money! Resort was closing down but as we were all inclusive this did not bother us. A/I drinks tasted fine and the adults only bar was brilliant to visit after dinner for a coffee and brandy/drinks. There are card tables nearby and it caters for pretty much all tastes. Restaurant looked modern and the food overall was of good quality and the staff were very friendly. Caters for all requirements and we had some very tasty fare. Never struggled to find something to eat. Help yourself to wine, beer, sangria or still/sparkling water or you can pay to upgrade wine. Swam in the sea which was warmer than the pool, but only a narrow rocky inlet which in the summer months is probably very busy. Lots of narrow steps down to the 'beach'. We had a great stay, but would probably not wish to visit this hotel when it was full!

Enjoyed it very much here, there were a few issuses as i would expect where-ever I go, nothing to put me off. 1 member of bar staff was not very nice, he could probably do with a job not working with the public. Every one else seemed friendly
