Seabel Alhambra Beach, Golf & Spa

Went to this hotel for my 50th birthday I was treated like a princess. The spa is well worth a visit the treatments are amazing and worth the money. Animation were fantastic and so funny and very talented. Thank you all so much for making my first trip to your country the best holiday and birthday I could have asked for.

Seabel Alhambra is certainly a beautiful place. 14 tennis courts with personal trainer for 5 hours for merely 110 euro. Swimming-pool for grownups and children, solo travelers who wants some peace and quiet and for family’s as well. The plus side is there is a beautiful swimming pool inside the hotel which is a great option on a rainy day or a quick random exercise in the evening or early morning ( though it’s closed at 7pm. nobody seems to mind if you take a few lanes in the afternoon) The beach is is modest, not the clear sparkling water with corals but good enough for swimming and sunbathing. The area is awe inspiring, from the architecture and gardening is a visual delight. Olive and fruit trees are placed coherent with the surroundings and Yasmin flowers swirl around the palm trees in the out lobby. I chose the superior rooms and asked to be moved away from the Main Street since there was a bit of activity happening during my lunch nap. There are around 600 rooms so an inquiry for relocation was no problem. I do think that the standard room probably has more charm since there outside is full of gardening wonders. As shown on the pictures. I do believe that this type of hotel is best suited for people who want some quiet time. There are literally thousands of hotels that are catered for more activity for the “family type” of holidays along the beach. Yet I can’t but think it’s a great place for a family who doesn’t want that big noisy type of Holliday with thousands of children ravaging the place. So what’s the minus side or what can be improved? I will begin from the beach to the hotel. As this hotel though having all inclusive perks it doesn’t have a bar on the beach, yes it does but it’s owned by a third party. I would recommend that there were was a bit more attention to the guests on the beach. Serving water perhaps and fruits, which do get served by the poolside and not by the beach. Just small things that makes the stay more catered and welcoming. As the place in it self is a beautiful place one thing alludes my mind. I have been a chef for more that 15 years and I have probably never tasted food that was so tasteless. When saying this I want to emphasize that this is not only from a chefs point of view. Yes the food looks nice but it has Absolutely no flavor. There is added no salt to the food whatsoever, and that means that it has not been taste by the kitchen at all. I tried to keep an open mind and for 3 days I had the same experience. I asked some of the visitors what they felt and all in all it was the same response. It’s a shame that such a beautiful place has such a deluded standard in food. Keep in mind that what they serve is not abhorrent in how it looks, it’s just doesn’t have a standard worth mentioning. It would take just a few simple steps to make how things looks to how it taste go hand in hand. While writing this review I am staying in the hotel room nr. 1423. If by any chance the head chef or the f&b, manager wants to have a dialog. To finish things off I will all in all say by all means chose this wonderful place for the peace, beauty and quiet you’ll get. I hope that in all sincerity that this resort will start making a sheet for the costumers where they can review the quality of their stay from hospitality, service and not least food. I surely believe this wonderful place would have more guests if everyone knew what they were striving for.
