"Lovely hotel with a fantastic aspect. Staff were exceptional and very friendly, Juan was a gem and could speak English. The room was spacious but not a lot of storage so had to live out a suitcase. Airconditioning decided to stop sending out cold air on the second last day. But weather was a little bit cooler only about 32. Swimming pool was lovely to jump into after travelling around. The restaurant had a nice breakfast not huge but nice and the evening meal was very Spanish some lovely dishes...

"While there were many positive aspects of our stay, several service issues fell below the standard expected of a 5-star hotel, which made our overall disappointing.
On arrival, we received a warm welcome, a buggy transfer to our room, and the room itself was excellent-spacious, bright & comfortable. However, we were informed a safe would be installed in our room, and despite multiple reminders over 2 days, this never happened.
The main issue throughout our stay was the buggy service. On several occasions, we waited 30+ minutes after requesting transport, requiring multiple follow-ups before a buggy arrived. This was particularly frustrating when attending a wedding, as despite arranging transport in advance, no buggy arrived and we were forced to walk to the lobby while our taxi waited.
The staff were consistently friendly, polite, and clearly doing their best. Unfortunately, it felt as though the buggy service was under-resourced for the size of the resort.
Our final impression was also disappointing. Checkout involved a lengthy queue, largely due to early check-ins being processed, and when we eventually reached the desk there was no enquiry about our stay or farewell.
That said, there were highlights. The staff's attitude was excellent, the room was beautiful, and the breakfast was outstanding.
I hope the hotel reviews its buggy operations, as improving this area would significantly enhance the guest experience and better reflect the quality expected of a 5-star property."
"The Room and hotel looks excellent, super comfortable bed, stunning bathroom facilities & waterfall shower (helpful bathroom necessities in the draws). Mini bar and the cutest surprise cheesecake in our room upon arrival! (It was Delicious!) The Property was very clean and beautifully styled. Views of the marina were gorgeous and lovely staff. 24hr gym, and roof top pool was lovely with towels ready on the shaded loungers.
There were a few things I felt was missing but nothing that takes away from this gorgeous hotel.
Unfortunately upon arrival when checking in we didnt get confirmation that the buffet breakfast was included with our stay. This was the biggest shame as we ended up looking for somewhere to eat each morning for breakfast and we would have much preferred to have had the breakfast we had already paid for at the hotel.
There was no price list for the mini bar or welcome pack with information about the spa/rooftop terrace hours.
The cleaner did a gorgeous job but did only clean the room once on our 4 night trip which I felt maybe it would have been nice to have a fresh bed each day. Finally we did ask for a taxi to be booked but unfortunately this was forgotten when we arrived downstairs at the booked time and we were on a tight schedule for a wedding. Luckily another couple attending was able to take us.
Overall a gorgeous stay just a few minor things and our stay would have been absolutely perfect!"
"I have stayed at the Hotel Encinar many times. The staff are fabulous, and it's a convenient location. Great facilities, looking forward to my next visit."
"Great base for a relaxed stay with excellent outdoor space
We had a really good stay overall. The two-bedroom apartment is quite basic with older furniture, and the beds were on the firmer side, but it was equipped with everything we needed, including great air conditioning and a fully equiped kitchen.
The highlights were definitely the massive, lovely patio, underground parking and the wonderful pool area. While there aren't tons of sunbeds, the complex was generally very quiet, so it wasn't an issue.
It’s worth noting the property has a unique setup: it functions partly as a holiday resort and partly as residential accommodation for local European and international workers. It did get a bit noisy early one morning when residents were returning from a night out, and the pool was busy with locals on Sunday, but we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. It's a slightly different environment than a standard holiday resort, but a great, safe place to stay!"
"Apartment was spacious with fully functional kitchen and living room.very nice terrace and outdoor chairs with dining table .
Swimming pool was nice
