Evenia Olympic Park

I have been to a lot of different hotels in numerous places around the world and I don't remember having a better time than this break. Now a great deal of this was down to the company but the hotel was absolutely fine. There are 4 or 5 pools, one catering for the toddlers and children and one which is massive and has a swim up bar. The bar staff are absolutely fantastic, they'll make you laugh, a quick tip, it's an all inclusive hotel but throw them a few euros,

I bought this trip for 4 nights through "on the beach! for myself and son for a school holiday break. It was good value in that it was approx 250 quid each for airfares from Luton and the hotel although I had to arrange my own transfers. On first impressions was impressed. Reception was efficient and the foyer looked modern and clean. The room was slightly dated but clean. However the balcony door was broken so needed the in room safe as impossible to lock the door. However, this was an extra fee which was quite expensive at being 20 euro for 4 nights. The restaurant has a good range for the average traveler but as I recently became a vegetarian I found the range limited for my tastes. However, I am a big fan of desserts so was happy there as they had a great range. The staff were friendly and did drinks orders from the table but they do need to be asked (as in click fingers, show signs of wanting attention etc.) They do work hard so please give them a tip if you think the service was good. The breakfast was ok and fans of the full english will be satisfied but once again veggies will survive but not thrive. What lets this down for all inclusive in off peak is that lunch is not included, This hotel is probably brilliant for peak season with all the snack bars and the water slides etc. But these are all closed down for off peak so I had to eat out for lunch. As far as their "two heated pools" the small one was open but the larger one was empty. Lucky enough there were a couple of warmer days where the shallower outdoor pools were available for use. The indoor pool is ok in that it is warm enough and my son loved it. Despite the lack of lunch the bars are open for all inclusive guests all day. The staff were friendly enough. However, this hotel is more dedicated to French customers .Like may European people they do not appear to understand the concept of queues so you do have to fight to ensure you get service in the proper manner. The town of Lloret del Mar is only a a comfortable 15 minute walk downhill however there are plenty of taxis available to get back. I have to admit I probably got a better deal than in peak season but was disappointed that it really does feel that the hotel is barely functioning just to provide the basics. I would consider coming back in peak season as the water park looks quite good for a younger family (not for teens though) but would look elsewhere for somewhere off peak. I would also have to agree that the room walls are very thin so even at normal conversation levels can hear your neighbours.
