Corallium Beach by Lopesan Hotels

We stayed at this hotel over Christmas. The hotel is right on the beach making this a great location. When we arrived we were the only ones checking in which was a good thing as there was only one person at the desk, no offer of a drink which we have always received when arriving at other hotels.We had to pay 2 euro per day for the safe but no deposit for the beach towels. We had booked a side sea view room and requested a high floor, our small room had a great view of the sea and car parks, there was no where to store cases and limited space for clothes, a wardrobe and 2 drawers, it was great that a kettle and mugs were supplied but no water even though we were all inclusive. Good bathroom with a very powerful shower but the towels were small and thin. We were not impressed with the food quality, strange combinations and mostly luke warm, the best meals we had were lunch times, at breakfast the bacon was burnt black nearly every morning so could not eat it. We had a so called gala dinner on Christmas day evening which was not very good and did not resemble anything we would have for Christmas day. The animation was almost none existent one man doing water aerobics and yoga, played a bit a music sometimes, the entertainment on a evening was hit and miss, some good singers occasionly and a DJ, everything closes at 11pm. On your last day they remove your wristband so you are unable to have any food or drinks unless you pay, also they charge 10 euro per hour to keep your room.

The best thing about this hotel is the fantastic location right on the promenade and beach. On arrival check in was fast due to the fact we were the only ones to check in. Strange reception two desks where you sat opposite the hotel staff, did notice a que a few times we passed through. We booked a side sea view room high floor, rooms are very small and no where to store cases, a wardrobe and two drawers underneath not a lot of space for two weeks. Great having a kettle but no water even for all inclusive, so we just went to the shop in the hotel garden and bought some bottles. The views from the balcony was brilliant and a great view of the sea, only downside was the coaches pulling up early in the morning and other vehicles in the car park. Rooms are very clean and the shower great and plenty of hot water, don't know how a previous reviewer said that the shower was small unless they are larger than normal, we could fit both of us in the cubicle. Both of us were not impressed with the food quality most of the time it was like warm and strange combination, who has sprouts or broccoli for breakfast, also nearly every day the bacon was burnt to a crisp and black.The best meals we had were at lunch much more choice and usually hot, we had the Christmas so called banquet we spoke to several people who felt the same it was very disappointing, not remotely a Christmas meal did not feel special. The entertainment is dreadful most nights so we just didn't bother a couple of singers were ok but as most of the guests are older don't think a DJ is appreciate. The so called animation, we only ever saw one young male and only saw him doing water airobics and yoga, why not have a quiz or bingo and get people involved. The hotel discription states there is a Gym, don't bother five pieces of old equipment. Beware on your last day they will charge 10euro per HOUR to keep your room if available, also they remove your wrist band at 12 so even if you have a late flight you Must pay for anything. We have Never experienced this before and we go abroad three times a year. Would not go back to this hotel or recommend this to ourfriends. Next Christmas we will go next door to the Costa Canaria. A good 4 star hotel only slightly more expensive.

Just returned as happy as ever from this hotel , our 4 th Hogmanay holiday here . We absolutely love this hotel ... fantastic service all round , I truly hope management give all their staff positive aprasil , they work so hard each and every one of them . Big thanks from us !!! The party on Hogmanay was fantastic . A great effort made by everyone . Food amazing . I will never complain on trip advisor . And please don’t think this is one .maybe management could look at toilet situations , finding steps down getting awkward as they are situated down very steep stairs . Also maybe a disabled toilet around pool area would be brilliant . Also you do so well providing non smoking area outside Resteraunt and top pool , but none on bottom pool , we found it difficult to sit there due to this . Ok back to positives , the entertainment was good and your animation staff great , I joined in with the aqua fit and it was so much fun .. well done !!! Our room was lovely and clean and we enjoyed the views . Would I recommend hotel ? Most definitely , and I will return ... if management would like a specific staff member to get a massive well done it has to be angie , she is like a whirlwind , what a great bar attendant , Thx again for a great holiday
