TUI SUNEO El Trebol

Great holiday celebrating a friends 69th birthday. Lovely hotel, great, friendly staff, Miguel on reception, Servio in restaurant plus many others working in the restaurant. Only couple of critisms. 1) there is no lifts therefore quite a struggle getting heavy cases up and down 2 or 3 flights of stairs. 2) food although quite apetising was not always hot. 3) there needs to be more coffee/tea stations open at breakfast time

We are currently sitting here on our last day awaiting our pick up for the airport. It’s been a nice week, that being said there are pro’s and con’s to everything. The weather, hasn’t been great. We’ve had sun but it’s been so cloudy and overcast it’s not been great and the wind has been absolutely shocking. To the point I’m looking forward to leaving because there’s no relief from the wind constantly battering you. The rooms were very clean when we arrived, however the maids that came to clean our room basically just made the beds and emptied the ash tray on the balcony. The floors towards the end of the week were filthy. The tv is very small in the lounge and there isn’t a tv in the bedroom. Which is fine but I like to fall asleep with the tv on so had to adjust. Luckily we didn’t have to hire a remote as there was one in the room. We didn’t hire the kettle @ 5 euros because there were pans in the kitchenette so we boiled our own water on the cheap but you had to buy your own milk etc as they weren’t provided. In this day and age I think that’s ridiculous in an all inclusive hotel. The balcony...we usually enjoy chilling on the balcony but where our room was it was impossible. It’s like it had its own climate. There was no sun on it except for a very brief time in the morning. To step on it you would run the risk of being blown off it was that bad. So if you stay in 306, I feel sorry for you. Beds were ok, only changed once a week. Towels changed twice and they were poor quality and ridiculously small. Your also overlooked in your own room. You can’t walk around naked with the curtains open in this room I’m afraid. The food was ok. Again not bad but not incredible. Everything was cooked and there were slight changes to each meal but also some very bizarre options. Staff were very attentive at moving your used plates and glasses. So much so if you leave the table unattended then it would be stripped before you’ve even get to the desert station. On that note, deserts weren’t the best. Some reviews say there incredible....they aren’t. But again not bad either. Entertainment, I can’t comment much because it’s all in doors and I didn’t really fancy watching it. It didn’t seem all that professional and very much the same each night but the room is 1000 degrees even with the doors open and there’s a severe lack of outdoor seating available. The seats they do have are very dirty and need changing. They have a large out door area but only a select amount of seating. It’s a big open waste of space. The pool area is very clean, I can’t comment on the pools really because when I dipped my foot in it was freezing so I steered clear. We never struggled for a bed either so there’s no need to reserve sun beds. The only problem I had with the pool area is it’s soooooo big and they only have one bar. If you didn’t sit close to it and up the other end you would have to walk a fair distance just to get a drink. I don’t know about you but that’s not for me. The location itself is alright. Not too far to the beach but it’s not on your door step either. If anything the Hotel seems to be tucked away up the corner of the resort itself. There isn’t a decent karaoke bar or anything on your door step, you’ve got to walk a distance, again not too far but far enough. If you were hard of walking, I wouldnt suggest this being the hotel for you. Transfer from the airport is like 20 mins, perfect. Spar right by the hotel, perfect. Sangria on tap, perfect. Coffee machine, perfect. All in all, you get what you pay for. It’s very worthy of its 3 star rating and it’s not a bad hotel. As a younger couple there were far too many kids around for our liking and it just didn’t seem busy enough in the surrounding areas. We booked the holiday on the cheap just for a break and we did get value for money. If your a family that wants a cheap week away in a nice country then this hotel would be more than suitable.
