Almería Hotels Gids - strandhotel Independent hotels in Almería, Spanje

stayed for 3 days in mid July, some previous negative comments don't seem valid, check in fast and friendly, we got a free upgrade to sea view room, stayed on b&b basis, breakfast buffet good with loads of hot and cold food. did not use restaurant foe dinner so cant comment. Parking also not a problem, parked in road outside the hotel, moved the car right outside reception the next morning.

The chef ensured I had gluten free meals + made the extra effort to obtain gluten free rolls. We found the atmosphere extremely relaxing. This we feel was due to the endless attention given by the staff to guarantee that our stay was a success!

The hotel is great. It's very close to the beach, which is pebble by the way and not sand so Sand Castles are not possible. Everywhere is very clean and there was not a single issue with that. The pools were great if slightly cold this time of year. The kids pool was warm enough and they had started building a water slide when we were leaving, so that should be ready soon. The nightlife was okay. It seemed mainly tuned for the older generations but it was ok. The room was great. Two massive beds for 3 of us and a huge balcony with private sun loungers. It was over the social room though so at night we got all the very loud music and smells of smoking. But, it was ok. Acceptable certainly. The only thing that bugged me was for the evening meal, as we were half board, we had to pay for all drinks including water. This seemed a little extreme and it annoyed me. Otherwise, the food was excellent and the variety was also excellent. I'd go all-inclusive if i was to go again so i wouldn't get treated like a 2nd class citizen. Overall, a great hotel and is recommended.
