AR Almerimar

Not for couples,very noisy,shower head was broke and food was cold

We stayed in May, but we were unaware of the fact that the whole hotel was let out to lots of different school parties hence, we were unable to use any of the pool or seating areas due to the loud and constant screams and yells of the school children. As you will see from other reviews, the hotel is a little dated, and we were aware of that when we booked, they are beginning to update but in my opinion, the problem with this hotel that would prevent me from recommending it to anyone else is that the senior management team are too detached from the day-to-day running of the hotel. You may see negative comments that has been added recently, and the management say thanks and we will look to fix but I can tell you 100% they do absolutely nothing proven by their lack of engagement after my stay I gave the management the opportunity to discuss with me how poor I thought my stay was and how disappointment at not being able to use any of the areas unless of course I was happy listening to screams for the entire time of being in that area. The management team decided that they did not need to contact me. I even provided some constructive feedback to the fact that the shower sprays water over the entire bathroom due to an incorrect fitting and a number of other things that were wrong - Yes they do have cleaners that go round following a set schedule however, in the sliding doors between the dining areas, there is food and dirt debris that has obviously been there for many many months. One of the lifts to the pool area was broken, and the other one broke while we were there if there was a serious senior management commitment to this hotel they would’ve noticed this and they would have added signs to advise people that the lifts don’t work, so again in my opinion no senior management present The kitchen staff don’t seem to know the difference between a pineapple and the core of the pineapple so I would question whether or not they actually know anything about food safety

There was rubbish on our balcony when we checked in. The bed constantly moved so we had a very bad nights sleep we only discovered the next morning that the bed was on wheels and the brake had not been put on. Breakfast was all cold even though we were down there just after the restaurant opened, you had to use the microwave to warm any hot food up. Drinks were very expensive even for a 4 star hotel.

The food could be better. It will help to somehow stop people from taking loads of food that they do not eat, as this only creates the need to make tons of food available that occasionally lacks flavour.

Nothing

Hotel dated/tired in places Very noisy
