Hotel Estival Park and Apartments

Stayed in a duplex room, this room was great, a seperate upstairs, modern room, great bathroom, but the rooms are very thin, almost like partition walls so you can hear people next door talking... not even load, but everyone was quite at night so thats the main thng. Bar service was good considering they cattered for all inclusive. Nice modern hotel. Food was ok, better than ok but not great, mainly due to the fact the food was not oftern hot, not even when they brought it out from the kitchen. There is microwaves but i don't think you should have to use them, food should be hot, but enough choice to keep everyone happy. Would return though

We had been worried about ending up in Hotel 3 based on reviews here but that wasn't as issue as it was already closed for the season so we were put in Hotel 1. Upon arrival, I felt that the reception staff weren't particularly welcoming & though I can live with that personally, surely if you're in hospitality & the first people to be encountered you ought to make a bigger effort than this. I also felt that overall, compared to other European holidays we've been on, the staff in the dining/bar areas didn't seem to have a great command of English. When we got into our room, it was clean & spacious enough but we were disappointed with the lack of power points, drinks making facilities & there was no main light in the room. The hotel itself looked to be of a very high standard & reflects the 4* status in that it looked very modern & clean. The outside area was also very well maintained. Our visits to the main dining area left us with mixed feelings; there was plenty of choice & generally speaking the food quality was good but as mentioned many times already in other reviews, 'hot' food was usually lukewarm at best & often there was no accompanying sign to describe what it was. It was almost always extremely busy but never a problem finding a seat. One strange thing though was the fact you weren't able to take hot drinks back upto your room- particularly annoying as there is no such facility in the rooms- although you can take alcohol! I assume this is Health & Safety related.. We didn't really use the bar, just the self service area which was always kept topped up. I knew there'd be a ready mixed cocktail but didn't realise this was the only cocktail option with the all inclusive so was a little disappointed in this but there was still a good range of other drinks, though I mainly stuck to the Estrella which was probably a bit weaker than expected but fine for a lightweight like me! I can't really comment on the entertainment as we didn't get involved with daytime activities & were usually back in our room by the time the evening ones began. Overall, it was decent enough but we wouldn't return.
