Cheap Holidays from Gatwick Airport – 2025/2026 Deals

We've just returned from a seven night stay and we were delighted with our holiday experience. The rooms were suitable and the hotel team kindly honoured our request of are whole party (three rooms in total) being located next to each other. We arrived at Paradise Island at 11PM. After a long day of travelling, the warm welcome from Cedric was greatly appreciated (along with his sense of humour too!) and having a selection of food waiting for us and our fellow late arrivers was a real bonus too. The food throughout our stay was a huge positive with a wide variety of options availble throughout the whole stay and sensible meal time windows allowed for flexibility on when we ate. The pool and water park kept adults and children alike entertained and the daily, complimentary bus into town every day offered a great opportunity to explore Playa Blanca (although the majority of the time I chose to walk as it's only 20 to 30 minutes). An area of potential improvment is the arcade options and pool tables. Whilst these were seen to entertain many children, the majority of these are dated, espectially the cloth on the pool tables. The location of the hotel was favourable to allow for a climb of Mount Roja. It was with a very heavy heart when the time came to check-out, we would have happily extended our stay! Muchas gracias por un tiempo maravilloso !

We have just come back from 10 nights here. I wouldn’t worry too much about the negative reviews. We found the hotel to offer great value for money. The food was excellent with loads of choice. There was food, snacks and drinks available pretty much all day and night. The rooms were serviced every day. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The entertainment was very good. The on site pools and water park were great. It is also in a good location around 1km from the beach front. The only downside was that some of it needs modernising maybe, but nothing of major concern. The play park also needs a bit of a refurb. But all in all a very good place to go on holiday that I would highly recommend.

Having seen some of the reviews here, I was slightly apprehensive of our stay at HL Paradise Island. I needn't have been, we had a brilliant time. The hotel is nice. It needs a little bit of upkeep but it's still very pleasant. We stayed with three kids (7, 5 and 2) and they had the time of their little lives - the pools are great (yes, it's February, the water is cold!) but there is so much to do! There is a good variety of food at the all inclusive and the quality of the food is much better than I expected. The Asian cuisine is a particular highlight! The staff are great and the kids loved the mini disco each evening. Overall, a great stay and great value for money. We will be back! 😄

Don’t get deceived by the advertised photos of rooms and restaurant. It’s far from reality. Cockroaches could be seen on the floor even in lounge near reception. Family with young kids were given disability room for no reason. Rooms were filthy with damaged furniture and foul smell. Bathroom had a window with see-through glass with not blinds. Wash basin was blocked. Air-con stooped working as rainwater leaked through walls on the floor at night. After two days of relentless struggle we were finally given another room that was relatively better. Another two families traveled with us had same issues but were instead given option to move out and take refund for remaining days. Manager lady tried her best to work with resources to resolve issues but other Receptionist Lindsey and Yurina were rude and made fun of guests on their back. They gave excuses that there were short on staff and were very busy hence rooms were not cleaned and towels couldn’t be replaced daily. Instead of being apologetic for poor service and inconvenience caused, Lindsey had attitude as if she was doing favour on guests. Cedric profiled guests based on their ethnic background and accordingly allocated rooms with known issues, expecting guests to live with it. Lot of things to improve for this HL(Hotel Lopez) property.

Room smelled of paint when we arrive as if it had only been done couple of days before. Doors and table in very bad condition. No lock on the bathroom door and would not fully close due to damage. Smell of sewage in bathroom due to a loose drain cover. No electric when we arrive had to ask reception to get sorted. The tallest water slides were closed. Most of staff were nice but one bar lady always seemed miserable. Reception told us all drinks at bar free but loads are not(including slushies). The soft drinks are poor quality. There is a good selection of food in the restaurant but quality is mixed. The whole place is very tired and needs massive renovation. It seems to be run on a shoe string and I feel sorry for the staff. While we were there apartments were being painted. Maybe ours was only half finished and rented out prematurely.

After the rest, I had a very pleasant impression. The room was spacious, the furniture and plumbing were in good condition, cleaning was done every day. The staff was extremely pleasant and friendly, the cleaner surprised me with figures made of towels every day, the animation team was great, they held fun interactive activities and set a great mood, Thomas, Kira and Adam are very cool) The choice of food is quite large, it was delicious, the waiter Sameh is attentive and friendly - a real professional with a very kind heart. The disco on the territory of the hotel is only twice a week, but you can go to the after party every day for an additional fee to another hotel or club. There are different performances almost every night, we liked the fire show the most, it was amazing) The hotel territory is very beautiful, green and well-groomed, many pools. The pools are clean and large with different depths, lifeguards are on duty for your safety, there are fun slides that lead into the heated pool.

Daria Dulgheru

I stayed here for 7 nights. I really liked the place. They have two heated pools outside and an aqua park which is pretty fun and usually empty. Their gardens are absolutely beautiful. I found the place to be really clean and well maintained. The room was beautiful and it was cleaned daily. The staff was really nice, especially their waiters. They have so much energy. Regarding the beach part, they have a private beach and a bus coming every 15 mins to take you there. It is a 5 min drive to the beach. The food(although repetitive) is tasty . They give food like guava, shrimp, fish, melon and much more .. What i would change is the fact that there allow people to come and sell you stuff. They sell you juice or a party even when you are at the table eating, this is not normal. But besides this, everything was amazing. To be honest, I do not understand the bad reviews

Heather Maclean

Absolutely excellent stay, pools great, plenty of sunbeds. The food for an all inclusive was great and plenty of choice. The staff are very attentive and can't do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily. Excellent holiday. Definitely recommend 🌞🌞🌞🍻🍺🍻

I stayed at the Royal Lagoon 5-star hotel for 7 nights, and my experience at this resort was absolutely disappointing. As an Asian, I felt that I was treated poorly, while white guests and those from the European Union received much better service. Regarding the accommodations, the rooms were small and had a foul smell in the bathrooms. There were only one or two towels for three occupants in the room, which included myself and my two children. Throughout my seven-night stay, the sheets were never changed. When it came to the food, breakfast was always the same with no variety. There were different options for lunch, but I was out most of the day and did not have a chance to explore them. Dinner offered various kinds of food, but my experience with the service was lacking. One morning, when I asked for coffee, the server shouted, "What do you want?" He brought me coffee without sugar, which I requested, but he simply threw the sugar packets on the table. I found this behavior very unprofessional and not what I expected from a five-star hotel. On another occasion, I ordered whiskey with Seven Up at the pub but was served tequila instead. Upon realizing the mistake, I brought it to the bartender's attention, but he informed me that there was no whiskey available. I expressed that I should have been informed of the substitution. I was also offered a complimentary international cuisine meal one night. I ordered a Greek salad, onion soup, and mixed kebab, but did not receive the soup. When I inquired, I was told that the chef had discarded it. Moreover, while other guests received their mixed kebabs served in hot cast-iron plates, mine was served on a normal plate. I waited nearly an hour for my food while white guests, who arrived after me, finished their meals and left. Eventually, I left without eating anything that night. In terms of Wi-Fi, there was no service in the rooms; it was only available in the main reception area. I found this resort to be more accommodating for white guests than for Asians or Africans. The alcohol served was of poor quality, and if you wanted a recognized brand, you had to pay extra. The nighttime entertainment was also very lacking; management stated that it was not the proper season for good entertainment.

We had a lovely time back in January. Hotel could have been a bit cleaner and managed a bit better but it was ok. The staff were amazing. Mohammed at the pool bar, & Mohammed in the upstairs bar playing the football. Siad in the restaurant, & ajeep our room cleaner. & ramadan around the pool, he was so helpful & kind. Helped us book some tours etc. also the man who helped us with our cases I can’t remember his name. He really looked after me one day when my little boy wasn’t well (teething). They all couldn’t do enough for us & our little boy. They made the stay 100% better. The hotel grounds are great but the entertainment was rubbish really not much going on. Don’t know if this is because it was winter. My boyfriend & his friend got me and my friend flowers for our birthday deliveries which was a cute touch. The security guards were really friendly too. The food was good enough for us but we arnt really that fussy. The outside kitchen was nice fresh food being cooked & the pizzas were really good. We would go back to this hotel purely for the staff.

The hotel land is very beautiful and clean and orderly. There are many pools and bars. Aquapark is very fun. It has two very nice beaches, but there is no wifi in sandy beach, it is very nice except for it. Animators are very fun and full of energy. Especially Kristina amused us a lot, her energy is very high.

Conor

Great hotel. Really amazing service with incredible staff. Food is good and we especially enjoy the Italian night as they have really good steak. Hotel is clean amd rooms are cleaned daily. Entertainment is brilliant especially the entertainment team who are all so lovely. Only negatives id say is some rooms could be updated, and they need better snacks during the day. Like a pizza and burger bar- not just sandwiches. But apart from that we really really enjoy the hotel

robert jones

Had a great stay here for a week. The room was a little tired but they are refurbishing at the moment and with that been the only negative I feel this hotel could be a gem come next summer. Food was nice and if you like trying new food plenty of choice. It is slightly salty but other than that very tasty. My wife can't have dairy, she mentioned it once and they went out and bought her almond milk. Fantastic service if you ask me. Pool was cold but it was February. The heated pool was fine and we enjoyed that one, the slides were also great fun and broke the days up. Service around the pool and in the bar was unbelievable. They really take the time to talk to you first couple of days. After that you have to tell them to stop bringing drinks or they turn up every 15 minutes. All in a great stay and would recommend.

adam Howard

Really like the hotel. There's great service all the staff are amazing. Clean hotel, rooms cleaned daily. Great entertainment during the day and night. Shout out to Emily from the entertainment team, she's lovely and great with our whole group

Donna Green

Staff are especially friendly, happy to help. Animation team are all great.Always happy, especially Megan & Emily who's always happy to give advice on the area and nights out with the team. Cannot fault this hotel. Lovely week away. Baz the barman was great so lovely. The reception staff were so friendly. Everyday always greeted with a smile Barman at the small pool and the young lifeguard were just the best. We were upgraded to a deluxe room which was lovely and comfortable. Can't wait to go back

Josh Singleton

We have just returned from a beautiful 3 night stay at the hotel on the all inclusive package. I had initial reservations regarding the hotel after looking through reviews but was glad that they didn't reflect our experience. - The room was gorgeous and well set up, lovely balcony and view of the pool. - food was enjoyable but nothing special. The buffet in the morning has a great selection and lunch + dinner you order from the app at your table, with salad options by buffet. The a-la-carte restaurant was fully booked which was a real disappointment. Avoid the bar snacks in the day though, dry and inedible. - The drinks were awesome, great selection and delicious cocktails. - Staff were warm and welcoming, always happy to support. We really enjoyed the service from Chris at the pool bar. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable escape from life. It's not the "foodie experience" promised on the website, but I'd return :)

Roxanne McDermott

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although we went during a festival so we could not visit the old town of Corfu liked we wanted it was still a lovely get away. The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely balcony’s. The whole hotel was decorated and stunning. The food everyday throughout the breakfast, snacks and dinner were delicious. The all inclusive only option was amazing as we had as many cocktails as we wanted. We got to enjoy the pot smashing and also the fireworks on one night. The whole atmosphere at Cooks Club was fantastic. Location wise not that great but a bus stop is right outside the hotel so you can travel.

Ryan Nicholls

Hotel looks GREAT, but reality is, it’s instagrammable but not great. Food is poor / average. Menus sound great, but reality is most things either in the snack bar or main restaurant were pretty poor. Sun loungers super uncomfortable. No AC in the hotel rooms. Walls super thin so can hear your neighbour speaking / watching TV. Service and staff nice. Pool was nice. Gym was ok, but again no AC. Electricity would fail and turn off cardio kit. Wasn’t ideal. Overall, the pictures were great and sold it To us but I wouldn’t go back to the hotel in Corfu. Overall 4/10

emma donaghy

Had a fabulous time celebrating family birthdays. All staff were helpful and attentive. Food was lovely and a good variety, especially breakfast. Live music and DJ were brilliant and all (but 2) guests were friendly and we had a ball. The unicorn and dino special appearances were the icing on the cake.

Samantha Mckane

Hotel is absolutely stunning, staff were great, food was amazing, branded drinks and entertainment was brilliant only downside was one of the other guests who was French I think who actually posted a 1 * review below was an absolute misery, the entire guests at the cooks club were happy and enjoying themselves except for her, if she wasn't happy with people having a fabulous time and wanted total peace and quiet she should have booked into a nunnery. Overall 5*+

The hotel was located in a nice area close to the center and the beach. We loved the choice of food in the restaurant, and even though I'm a vegetarian I had plenty of things to chose from. We were welcomed and treated very nicely by the reception staff and the housekeeping ladies. The only thing to mention is that we could not sleep well as the beds were very hard. Also the bathroom needs to be renovated. However, the room was big and clean and we had a great view of the sea.

Helen Chong

we had a lovely stay at Bronze Playa. The staff are friendly and willing to help; the pool/outdoor area is lovely and spacious, with plenty of choice at the bar. Both breakfast and dinner were lovely, with plenty of choice and a different menu each evening. The rooms are a little outdated, particularly the bathrooms, and the towels provided are definitely showing their age! That said, the bed sheets were clean and comfy, and the room is lovely and spacious, with a great balcony! Overall, the hotel is great and would stay again!

Lyndsey Black

Location of this hotel is great (very quiet but not too far from beach and bars etc) over the road from a large open space where they hold a weekly market We had a ground floor room with private patio and access straight onto the pool Rooms are really spacious and clean with separate living room which had a small fridge to keep drinks in Plenty of sunbeds so never seen any sunbed wars!! Drinks were of a decent standard most cocktails were included in the all inclusive The only negative for this hotel is the food We both found it really hard to find something breakfast lunch & dinner but overall really nice hotel and would definitely return if I came back to gran canaria

Emmie S

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, the staff are very friendly especially Tania (waiter) and Riccardo (animator) really lovely hotel and all the staff are super helpful. My only advise coming from somebody who works within the hospitality industry would be: There’s a lack of attention from staff/hotel users when it comes to utilities being used in the restaurant - for somebody like myself who does not eat meat there were people using the utensils for absolutely everything which meant I had to be one of the first in the restaurant to assure the food was not contaminated with meat before I ate it, this also comes in the category for people who have allergies. I feel this area needs a lot more attention. - foods ok just very repetitive! But everything else from the pool area, to the entertainment to the bar were fantastic.

2024 april I spent 1 week here with my toddler. It was a nice hotel, the staff was nice and the food was great. - i stayed in double room with sea view on the 5th floor, however ,be aware that there is another hotel in front also. so my view was mainly the other hotel and sea on the right side far away and the left side a bit. But mainly i saw the other hotel. It didnt bother me much however because i didnt spend my time sitting on the balcony. But the room is facing the street so it was noisy. Im a light sleeper so wasnt ideal, but was managable. - maybe its normal, but you have to pay if you want to change room. It is 20 euro i think however i didnt change. Luggage storage is 5 euro per item. - wifi was good, but had to sign in again and again almost every day - location was good, but since its surrounded with streets, there was noise at night (mostly cars) - beach is like 5mins walk, but you have to go down quite some stairs and then back up, so its not a straight walk to the beach. Its normal in that area - stores close by

Carmen Ineichen

We had the pleasure of being served by Carlos at the pool bar, and we can honestly say we've never experienced better service anywhere else. Carlos was always friendly, professional, and made us feel truly welcome. His warm personality and attention to detail made a big difference in our stay. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and kind. Thank you, Carlos, for your outstanding service – you made our holiday unforgettable!

Davy Le

We had a decent stay at this hotel, especially considering the price we paid. The rooms were clean and comfortable enough, but they were quite noisy. You can hear people stomping around in the rooms above, guests and staff running and talking loudly in the hallways, and occasionally even shouting. There’s a nightlife street right next to the hotel, which you can hear pretty well, but luckily it quiets down relatively early. We booked half-board, and the food was okay for what you pay. Breakfast was fine, and dinner was tasty for one night. However, if the hotel varied the dinner menu more, I think they could easily get higher ratings. They could also improve by switching from the paper receipt system to a digital one — it would be better for the environment, more convenient for both guests and staff, and even things like the wristbands could be made more sustainable. The pools were nice. One was heated and the other wasn’t, which gave a good option depending on your preference. Overall, we had a good stay — we just expected a bit less noise.

Honest Review – Barcelo Fuerteventura Mar (1-Week Stay April) We recently spent a week at the Barcelo Fuerteventura Mar and overall had a really good experience. Here’s a breakdown of our stay: Check-In Process: The check-in was smooth and efficient, largely thanks to the helpful and friendly staff. We had completed the online check-in before arriving, which made the process even quicker and hassle-free. Facilities: The hotel is well laid out and thoughtfully designed. We appreciated that the tables in the bars and restaurants weren’t crammed together, creating a more relaxed and spacious atmosphere. Everything felt clean and well maintained. Room: The room was clean, tidy, and well presented. However, since there were three of us sharing, it did feel a little on the small side. It was fine for the week, but a bit of extra space would’ve made it more comfortable. Pool: The main pool was heated, which was a big plus and the snack bar was amazing. However, we did notice several sun loungers were broken and in need of repair—something that should definitely be addressed. Restaurants & Food: The food was of reasonable quality with plenty of variety, and we found the options to be quite healthy overall. There was something for everyone, and we never felt bored with the selection. A pleasant surprise was that the alcohol served included branded drinks, which was a nice touch and added to the overall value. Suggestions for Improvement: Towel Policy: While the €10 deposit for pool towels is standard, the €2 charge for each towel change felt excessive for a hotel of this level. It would be more reasonable to include at least one towel change during a stay. Pool Bar Staffing: The pool bar consistently had long queues. Adding extra staff during peak times would really help speed things up and improve the guest experience. Restaurant System: The paper-based tally system used for ordering drinks or extras in the restaurant felt outdated. It would be much more convenient if guests could simply use their room wristbands to pay for additional items. Final Thoughts: This was our first time staying at a Barcelo-branded hotel, and based on this experience, we would definitely consider using them again in the future. The hotel has a lot going for it—great layout, friendly staff, and good food. With a few small improvements, it could really elevate the guest experience to the next level. And hey—don’t worry, I’m not one of those reviewers blaming the hotel for the weather. A few clouds don’t ruin a great stay!

ajay aggarwal

Look, as a hotel it is fine. Close to beaches etc and great staff. HOWEVER, if you have an allergy or are vegetarian avoid at all costs. Food is incorrectly labelled, food is put in the wrong sections (meat dishes in the vegan section), cross contamination by the chefs when handling the food. Before you ask complains are brushed off as mistakes with apologies that happened every day. I would not recommend. Truly terrifying when you are Veggie. Furthermore, be careful when booking an all inclusive, the spa isn't accessible to under 16's.

janet steve brearley

The hotel and staff are lovely. It's very clean and relaxing. The food was pretty good, although not having tea or coffee included at lunch or evening meal is a bit strange. We also booked for the Brazilian restaurant, which we thought was terrible. We did express our thoughts to the staff and this was dealt with very well. The entertainment in the hotel in the evenings was very good. We would definitely stay again.

Luceneia Mendes

I recently stayed at El Karma Aqua Beach Resort in Hurghada for seven days to celebrate my birthday with three friends. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly by tour guide called Mohammed, who was extremely helpful with our luggage, check-in process, and ensuring we could get some food after our journey. The resort itself looked beautiful, and our rooms had a lovely view of the pool and palm trees. However, our experience was a mix of highs and lows. The weather was quite windy and cold for the first few days, but we still tried to make the most of the pools and resort facilities—only to find out that most of the pools were freezing. There was just one heated pool, which was always overcrowded, making it difficult to enjoy. The biggest letdown was the food and drinks for an all-inclusive resort, the variety was extremely limited, and snacks outside of restaurant hours were restricted to just burgers and fries. Even worse, the quality was poor. The man preparing the snacks would sometimes serve undercooked burgers and fries, and they were often cold. On top of that, he was incredibly rude, throwing food onto plates rather than serving it properly, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. When we visited the Italian restaurant, we were surprised to learn that drinks and à la carte menu options came with an extra charge—something we found unreasonable, given that we had already paid for all-inclusive service. Room service was practically nonexistent, and the overall service from staff left much to be desired. When we raised concerns, we often felt ignored, as if we were talking to a wall. The staff seemed uninterested in helping, and some were outright rude. One particular experience stood out at the spaghetti station, where the cook had a bad attitude and seemed unwilling to serve guests properly. To make matters worse, the food quality was poor, and it made us feel unwell during our stay. There weren’t many options available, and what was there was far from appetizing. Transportation around the area was also inconvenient, making it difficult to explore outside the resort. While the resort itself isn’t terrible, it definitely needs major improvements—especially in food quality, service, and staff hospitality. Thankfully, towards the end of our trip, we discovered El Gouna, which was an absolute gem. This beautiful area had an amazing selection of restaurants—perfect for anyone who might be tired of resort food. The dining options were far superior, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. The Marina in Hurghada city also stunning, making it a great place to walk around and take in the views. I only wish we had known about it sooner, as it was one of the highlights of our trip. Would I return? Probably not. Until they improve their customer service and overall experience, I wouldn’t recommend this resort to others looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. I only gave it two stars for the views and spacious room but overall not a nice stay !

If the hotel wants to improve and increase business then there are few main points they need to consider. 1. Get lifts installed 2. Up grade the rooms simple DIY fixes 3. Pool floats either repair the room full of punctured floats you have or buy more as there is not enough to go around which causes arguments between guests. 4. Entertainment especially at night needs a BIG improvement, the entertainers look like they just make things up as they go along it’s the worst organised entertainment I’ve ever seen and I travel a lot. 5. Up grade the dinning room to make it feel inviting and comfortable to eat in.

Sally Hornsey

3* Hotel. All inclusive is not all inclusive!! Read the small print. Wine and water not included. Fruit juice not included. Ice cream not included. Food not good for what's supposed to be a4* hotel. The a la carte Italian restaurant is inclusive one time (BUT you have to pay for drinks?!?) And food is not good... dish of the day? Beef stroganoff?!?!?! Errrrrr not Italian! Pools are cold.. even the heated one is freezing. Slides are on for minimal time a day. Cheap as chips hotel. Is what you make it. Staff are super friendly if you tip.

Jacek Galach

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights only, since we were travelling across the Egypt. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and we had to wait at least 10 minutes for the hot water under the shower. The food was far from being delicious. The worst thing were extremely loud animations until late night. Be sure to have ear plugs, otherwise you won’t be able to fall asleep. Overall it was a terrible experience.

Bel

Just finished my stay at this place. Honestly so disappointed the food was terrible very bland and very little options it was always just meat rice or pasta. They have a Chinese restaurant, nothing Chinese about it. And the Italian? Absolutely disgusting can’t even call the pizza a pizza it was raw. My boyfriend has also gotten food poisoning while we have been away. I urge you not to book with them unless you’re ready for disappointment. The rooms were very poor and dirty. The “spa” staff are constantly following you and trying to force you to buy there treatments. The “all inclusive” is not. You have to pay for water, wine and if you go to any of there “included restaurants” you have to pay for drinks. I am a wine drinker but have taken to the free beer since it’s £30 a bottle and they won’t let you just buy a glass. It was honestly the most disappointing experience. The pillows feel like you’re sleeping on a slab of concrete and the food is just as bad. I don’t know what else I can add to warn people but please do not book this hotel. They all beg for tips and pester you. Probably the worst holiday myself and my partner have had. Also so many works being done that half the resort isn’t accessible the whole place smells horrible and is dusty. Not to mention all the male staff looking at me like I’m an object I’ve never felt more uncomfortable in my life as a young woman.

Kevin Houten

We went to Lagotel in July/August of 2023 and we absolutely loved it! The whole experience was amazing. The food was good, the staff were great, the entertainment was brilliant for both adults and children. We was at the poolside every morning soaking up the sunshine and having a ball. The room was fine overlooking the pool. We enjoyed it that much we are going back this year (2025) on July the 28th for 10 days this time! We can't wait! See you in July!

John Garwood

Stayed here during a tournament. Front desk staff was very friendly. The service staff was rude and not very helpful in the dining area. The dining served processed food and very little options. Their main dish every day was pasta with sauce. Not happy with our stay

paul rackley

Great hotel, we went as a family with 2 children on a b&b basis . Hotel was clean,rooms were good, buffet breakfast was amazing. Staff attentive to detail, friendly and always busy . Pool setup was very good, with a lifeguard on duty. Plenty of entertainment, for the children and also good evening acts . Handy shuttle bus to beach. We all really enjoyed our stay there. One minor thing ,a socket by the bed would be handy.

rachel andrews

We had a fantastic time at the Lagotel. We booked a family room which was adequate space for a family of four. The room was cleaned daily along with fresh towels. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of options-we were spoilt for choice-and the snack bar was very reasonable and the portions of food were very generous. There was a friendly atmosphere throughout the hotel, day and night. Although there was a short queue for the main pool before it opened, there were always enough loungers available and the entertainment team provided activities throughout day. My son loved all the activities, especially the children's water bingo. The lifeguard was a real presence, chatting with the holiday makers and was always on hand to help with any issues. The nightly entertainment was certainly our highlight! The visiting performers-especially the Queen tribute- were great. I would especially like to thank Fabian and the rest of the entertainment team for all of their efforts. They worked really hard to ensure that everybody was having a good time and we all looked forward to the party dances every night. We hoped to find a hotel which was clean and reasonably priced with a happy buzz and this is exactly what we got! Thank you Lagotel-see you next year!

Hana Matoušková

The hotel looks nice on the first sight but you soon notice that it has seen better days. Most importantly, the air conditioning in the room did not work - we wanted to use it for heating as we came in October. We used the sauna and gym and it seems like it has been put there just as an afterthought, especially sauna seemed very improvised, being put right into the gym - e.g. where are you supposed to rest in between sessions? The minigolf is in the worst state of all of these sporting activities, having holes where holes definitely should not be. I do understand that if you come with children, you will enjoy the daily and evening activities on the podium in front of the room balconies. However, the loud music playing on the podium and lights from the trampolines did not make for an agreeable evenings for us. The food was plentiful but it was sometimes hard to find something healthy. Sometimes there was a chef on grill who prepared fresh fish or steaks, that was a great thought.

Sean Glossop

Fantastic hotel, extremely good value for money and the rooms were well equipped as well as modern. The staff were all very friendly, we were self catering so I cannot comment on the food at the hotel but there was a little shop on site which sold pretty much everything you could need. The pools were clean, I loved the fact that there were multiple pools, the main one having the entertainment, and then Pool 2 which was quieter and more chilled (right by our room). In terms of location, this is the only thing where the hotel suffers, as it is on the outskirts of Los Christianos - however there is a free shuttle bus to and from the beach each hour during the daytime for those who don't wish to walk the 15-20 mins. There are also quite a few restaurants and shops close to the hotel without having to walk far, my favourite being the Italian restaurant literally opposite the entrance to the hotel, definitely worth a try, we ate there three times during our stay. Overall, this hotel is well worth the money, it's in a quieter part of Los Christianos but not too far from the centre, the room was very large, bathroom extremely modern and luxurious, cannot fault anything really.

Louise Hudson

Where do I begin? This apartment clearly took design inspiration from The Conjuring, it’s giving full haunted house realness. If peeling paint, banging by disgruntled neighbours, and furniture that looks like it holds grudges are your thing, you’re in for a treat. In my opinion, this is a solid 2-star, maybe 3 at most. As for cleanliness… what cleaner? I can only assume she’s a ghost—never seen, never heard, definitely never cleaned. Fresh towels? Non existent and if you ring reception they’ll ask for you to go down to collect them, maybe I should have levitated nude to collect it. The “VIP” area by the pool nearly sent me flying, £12 for the privilege of being tied up with rope like a medieval prisoner, it was like sunbathing in a glorified rope pen and there was a woman coming across to see if you’ve paid to stay within the rope as if it was worthy of being paid, mental. The breakfast buffet. I can’t even explain the quality, imagine being in a prison, but with less variety and more of a smell. Special shout-out to the guy at reception, what a character. His attitude was only outshone by his “Grease: The Musical” hair, slicked back like he’s auditioning for Danny Zuko: The Sequel, he tutted at me and my partner for asking if we could PAY to extend the room instead of being homeless by the pool on our last day. Overall attitude for no reason. Just really rude. I’d never come back here

Firstly the room we had was spacious and clean. It had a large balcony overlooking the pool. Stayed 7 days, housekeeping came on the forth day offering clean towels but not clean sheets. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Entertainment every night. Personally I think it's more of a family orientated hotel. The location of the hotel is at the top of a very steep hill, not ideal, but good for views. Overall despite some shortfalls I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is located in a very peaceful area with plenty of free parking outside. We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a bit of a sea view. It was well equipment and had 2 bathrooms. We had a very good time and enjoyed the hotel and swimming pools. I highly recommend staying here.

We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely go back! The location is very nice (close to Los Cristiano's port/beach - which we loved). We rented a car and easily went everywhere from the location. Our accommodation was a huge 2 bed apartment (a bit dated but clean) with a terrace looking to the ocean, beautiful view. The food was good with plenty of choices but often cold. The location has 3 pools which are very nice. There is a shop just in front of the reception open until late so very handy. Service very nice, helpful staff (all speak English) and good entertainment in the evening. Kids enjoyed it very much! Overall very nice place, we ll go back soon! Thank you so much for everything!

We had a great time at this hotel and was very impressed. Our stay from start to finish the staff were very friendly and looked after us well. Value for money you cannot go wrong, they have all the amenities including a 24 hour bar, gym, sauna and steam room available. We booked 3 separate rooms which they gave us all next to each other which was a nice gesture. Rooms were very clean and everything was as it should be, rooms decorated and finished to a nice standard. They have plenty of entertainment and activities, games for adults and kids to play as well as a kids club so parents can enjoy time to themselves if wanted. A special thanks to Anil (waiter on roller skates) who was a great waiter and lovely host for us, always smiling and happy to help. The only thing I could pick on was that they should have more than 2 irons and a stand in each room or available separately for a 200 room hotel, other than this everything was perfect. Thanks again to all the staff.

Avoid at all costs! Absolutely appalling service from the staff. We ended up leaving the hotel after the first night due to the hostile behaviour. Day 1, 3 members of staff came up to us and asked us to leave in under an hour with 3 children as the hotel management did not want us there due to complaints we raised about the rooms. We were locked inside with a technician as the doors stopped working and another room had no air conditioning, they could not move us or even downgrade the room so sent in a technician at 3am. When our provider questioned why they wanted us to leave they completely rejected what they said. Insulted us in front of other guests. Will be taking legal action against this hotel! If you fancy embarrassing yourself go ahead and book it! We have video evidence of the incident that occurred where they came up to us whilst we were having breakfast and telling us to leave. I’m happy to share.

We visited the hotel late November and the number of guest staying in the hotel were minimal but the experience of the staff and the facilities was fantastic. Hassan and the other staff members were always happy to help and despite being small number of guests they still made sure the choice of food was adequate and plenty for you to choose. I would recommend this hotel and if I am in alanya I would be happy to stay at this hotel again

The staff here is always ready for help, however, maybe it is now the off-season, quite some staff are not well trained so they do not understand guests' need neither in English nor in German. The food here is very poor. The soup is thin, no freshly grilled meat. I was expecting a Deluxe experience, but the reality hit me hard... The sea view is unbeatable.
