The Prime Energize Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. Relaxing and modern. Close to the beach as well as shops bars and restaurants"

AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly

8/10 Good

"I liked the location of the property. It was modern and minimalist which I liked. Plenty of outside space to relax in either by the pool on a lounger (which you could find any time of the day) or on comfy outdoor sofas. Reception staff were lovely and very helpful we had an issue with our shower and they had someone fixing it within minutes. I found not much variety at breakfast and quite often hot food options were not very hot, the glasses for juice and water were really small which meant having to refill often. The staff at breakfast weren’t the friendliest either. We arrived at 3pm and had to wait over an hour for our room to be ready, check in was from 2pm so we had expected to get in our room straight away. The gave us an upgraded room which didn’t feel like an upgrade it was on the ground floor looking on to the river . However the terrace space was too small to fit the loungers, table and chairs . As there’s shrubs separating the rooms which is a nice touch but couldn’t sit out without moving the sunbeds out the way. I would ask for a higher floor room if going again. We were staying on a bed and breakfast basis you could also stay all inclusive, we had issues when ordering drinks from the bar as we had to pay for them sometimes we got the small all inclusive ones and sometimes they came in larger glasses when we asked for the larger size they said only did one size which wasn’t the case it depends who serves you. 3€ for a tiny coke didn’t feel value for money."

Barceló Punta Umbria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was the second time we came to this hotel, we went last year as well and again, had a great time! I noticed some differences in friendliness from the staff, they were even more friendly and helpful compared to last year and also the restaurants felt less crowded and hectic which made the experience even better. Rooms and all public areas are very clean, the food is good and the control of the reserved sunbeds continues to be a plus, a special thank you to Miguel who was the control and always made sure there were beds available for everyone."

Hotel ILUNION Islantilla

8/10 Good

"The basic rooms at the hotel are pretty rundown. If you want to enjoy your stay go for a family room with a €25 additional charge per night. The parking is €20 per night but unless you have an electric but unless you have an electric car, it’s a nightmare to park in there, especially you come with a large car. The breakfast choice is okay but not superb.They don’t have room service, you can call the restaurant and they may send you something, but it’s up to them. I hated the toilet paper because is the supercheap recycled type. I also hated the fact that you are given a beach towel every two days, it should be daily. I have to say that the hotel is more a three star hotel than a four."
