Ayacata Holiday Rentals

"Good location. Lovely staff and fantastic food! Big rooms and spotless"

"Great apartments and a lovely space to go unwind and chill. Great for family time!! Spar on-site is very handy and within 20 minutes walk a couple of other bigger supermarkets. Anfi del Mar is 7 minutes by car and it’s a lovely beach if you want a day away from the pool. "

"Really great hotel "

"The physical state of the rooms needs attention, but they are closing later this year for renovation. Everything worked fine, there were just lots of little things like lose for handles, crack in the bathroom tile, shower door difficult to close. Plenty of choice for food if you don't have allergies, also plenty of vegetarian choice. I wouldn't stay if coeliac, but if you are gluten intolerant then you'd be ok. They label all the buffet with allergens & have GF sliced bread, biscuits & muffins. No GF toaster. They make GF pasta & pizza on request (order in advance). One incident where the "GF" crackers were in plain packaging (not labelled GF or Schar, like they previously were). They looked the same as the crackers on the buffet & tasted the same. On questioning the chef, he said they were definitely GF, but I didn't eat any more. They disappeared the next day & there were no more crackers that week. Pool was nice, didn't go to the entertainment but plenty of places to sit with a drink in the evening. The free bus to the beach is good, and the steep hill is VERY steep. Very limited parking at the hotel & very few places to park on the hill. There is a free car park at the bottom of the hill- but again, it's STEEP!! "

"We were there for two nights,20-22/3, the breakfast was excellent, swimming pools lovely and room was great on the first night. The second night we couldn’t sleep most of the night as it was raining heavily and water was dripping through the balcony window onto the floor making a sound even when I placed three large towels on the floor. In the morning when we were leaving I spoke to Stephanie, customer relations, and told her we couldn’t sleep: she said we could have changed rooms, I replied that it was 2.00 in the night and we were also leaving that morning, also that we would not be returning to the island.She said she would look into the matter, I also showed her a video taken during the night. Later I asked her if the hotel could pay for our taxi into town as compensation,she said it was not possible as they were a different company. Later I received her email saying that the weather had affected many other businesses and that I could get an upgrade if I booked again. She clearly did not listen to me when I said we would not be returning ever again. I feel that this is unacceptable, especially as this was an expensive hotel, the customer service was not up to standard. I have used Hotels .com for many years and never complained, but in this instance I think that some compensation is required "

"We've had a disappointing stay this week. It began at check in when the staff seemed disinterested and not very knowledgeable. We weren't offered help with our cases and had to carry them up 27 steps. The room lacked character, but was generally clean. We tried to book in at the spa to be told it was fully booked ( not a problem). We tried to book later into the week and the staff member then booked us onto the wrong day. Again we decided to switch our itinerary rather than have to explain again. I then received no fewer than 7 emails all in Spanish regarding our booking. I had no idea what they said, so had to go back upto the spa to check all was okay. On the morning of our booked treatments we turned up to find the thalasso was out of order ( no email this time). We had our massages and decided to use the thalasso part later in the week. The massages were a great disappointment, very lacklustre and quite a bit of the 50 mins seemed to be hands off. The room was cold and bare and lacked ambience. We returned later in the week to use the thalasso and found a private party was going on, on the terrace. So instead of a relaxing and serene time all we could hear was the loud boom boom of the base music. The men's changing rooms, were out of use and so we were all in together. Not a big problem, but again no mention pre arrival and it's a very small space. There's lots more I could add, including lack of a freindly atmosphere, but unfortunately I have run out of characters. "

"Large room with nice view but you can tell it’s an aging building, mattresses and pillows are on their last leg- all super deflated / soggy. Not worth paying extra for the jacuzzi on the terrace - it’s basically a slightly larger version of a bathtub that doesn’t keep the heat. It takes you an hour to fill up and gets cold pretty quickly- not a proper hottub- disappointing. Food was mediocre, wilted salad and mostly yellow / fried food at the hot counter. None of the pastries, cakes etc are made on site. Little variety. That said, it’s ok if you want pasta, burger or tries with chicken nuggets. Not worth 40euros per head. Staff were very nice though and property was clean. "

"Good breakfast, nice room but ‘kitchenette’ is stretching it, there was a fridge and a tea making tray! Busy hotel in the heart of Playa del Ingles, lovely staff and very clean "

"Breakfast was fabulous and the hotel has great amenities. The Michelin restaurants were world class but the general restaurant (1890) was ok but there was too big a difference between the quality of the restaurants. The biggest issue was the main bar where the service in the evening was very poor with a 25 min wait to get a drink. Many people were unhappy about this. Overall the hotel is very nice but be prepared for the bar.."
