" hotel stomach bug "
Submitted By: mouseybrown56We had intended hiring a car for three days but felt too washed out to sightsee.
This turned out to be the worst holiday we've ever had.
Many of the guests also experienced this sickness, we were fortunate that our children are grown up as it must have been dreadful dealing with youngsters suffering fron this bug.
I personally feel that the hotel should have been shut dowm whilst the source of the infection was investigated. There were some very young children there who may have become dangerously ill should they have contracted it.
Advice: lovely coastal path walk

" Arrrrghhhhh "
Submitted By: tylerroyThe hotel staff tryed to tell us that the big brown splurges of grease were already on our clothes and it was our fault.
It wasnt until our holiday rep came in to speak to them that we actually got anywhere.
If you dont like flies then dont go, There must have been 10 fglies on every item of food in the restaurant, the snack bar needed condemning. It is a shame because the Entertainment team for the kids was fantastic, (even with no support from the hotel) They were as frustrated as us with the standards of the hotel, They seemed to think it was because it was the last two weeks of the season.
The food was of good quality.
The rooms were very small for a family of four a double bed right next to the kids bunkbeds.
Advice: very nice place but if you want lively go to magaluf
Activities: caves of drach

" Good value for money "
Submitted By: lemargWe'd read reviews before we went about sending peopel to their sister hotel, so naturally we were worried it may happen to us. We were lucky, however the couple checking in in front of us, and at least one couple most days during our time there were sent to Eurocalas for at least one night. We thought it was off that they had to come back after 11am every morning to see if there was a room available yet.
ASides from that, the rooms were basic but clean and tidy, and the maid was in making up the beds every day.
Reception staff all spoke good english and were very helpful.
Pool area cleaned down every night, and there were enough sunbeds for everybody, and was often used as an extension to the bar area in the eveing if the entertainment was taking place on the outside stage.
Entertainment was mainly geared to families, however there was a daytime adults program too, so you got to try out some different activities. The entertainment team work really hard, and it certainly paid off.
You were only allowed to get two drinks at a time from the bar, all in plastic half-pint cups, but the barstaff were very friendly and soon got through even long queues.
Food - we thought the range on offer was very good, we overheard some people saying there wasn't much choice, but we had intended to still dine out a couple of times while we were there, but as we liked the food we only ate there. If you are a fussy eater and only eat chicken nuggets, chips and beans or the like, then maybe this isn't for you. Considering they have to satisfy a lot of different nationalities that stay there, we thought it was good.
The resort is small, but there was plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed our stay, although we probably won't be back to this resort as it's a bit small to warrant a second visit.
Advice: Compact but nice
Activities: Cycling to Porto Collom, and boat trip to the Caves of Drach at Porto Cristo.

" 3rd World Mallorca "
Submitted By: Nadia69If your happy listening to the Karaoke Bar running until 5.00am, loud individuals falling out of Tiffanys nightclub or the Irish Pub then this is the place for you!
The hotel, well what can i say, built in the 70's and never modernised since. Arrival 12 noon, rooms available from 12! - we never had a room they had lost our booking! Once they found us a room at 3pm - it was dirty and smelt damp and musty. Celephaine rapped allegedly clean glasses in the bathroom still contained sand and had a rim of lipstick on them! The bathroom was full of body hair - not our own! Upgraded on our booking to a family room - received 1 bath towel and 2 hand towels for a family of 3!
1 Reception Staff Member in particular (female) was really rude, lazy and had absolutely no intention of helping with any enquiries! Remainder staff, friendly and helpful!
Meals - well what can in say if your happy having pork every day then your in heaven! Lunches - if you you fancy a packed lunch - beware! The unhelpful dragon on reception will require proof of excursion with ticket receipts. Don't inform her you plan to visit the beach as she will not accept this to receive a pack lunch as part of your all inclusive stay! Unlike all other hotels within the vicinity!
Animation team - really made an effort 24 7 with all guests, nice young bunch, although not our cup of tea.
Beaches were nice, but all bars shut due to recession and surrounding hotels being all inclusive, no toilets on the beaches.
Advice: Possibly visit for a day to go to the beaches which were lovely!
Activities: Nice beach
" Great time had by all "
Submitted By: TULLYBUCFirstly the Samoa offered excellent accommodation that was not only comfortable but extremely clean! The domestic staff work really hard and service the rooms on a daily basis leaving plenty of clean towels and bedding. The rooms are not vast but are easily big enough to accommodate at least 4 adults.
The pool is lovely and has a large shallow end for children and adults, the life guard is very strict but also vigilant. The entertainment team offer good quality daily activities in and around the pool through out the day ranging from, Water polo, aqua aerobics and diving lessons.
The restaurant offers a huge variety of food all of which is lovely, especially the puddings!
The nightly entertainment is really good fun and our kids thouroughly enjoyed it. I can honestly say that we had a fab time and would def go back again, the staff here are 1st class and nothing is too much trouble, so if you read all the awful things that people write on here, take it with a pinch of salt, HOTASA SAMOA, is with out doubt a beautiful hotel and offers a fantastic family holiday!!!

" Excellent Hotel "
Submitted By: smelleysmudgeThe entertainment in this hotel is great, you can get involved if you want but if you want to lay back and take it easy you can just enjoy watching everyone else! There is a full activity programme on day and night, and although the entertainment is limited, the team work so hard, and put on some good shows.
The food was OK, plenty of choice, but some of the meat left a bit to be desired, one night we were most excited to see chicken on the menu but on closer inspection it was NOT chicken, more like cat! There was plenty of salad choice tho, always different soups, puddings, plenty of fresh bread at all meals and if that wasn't enough a snack bar open 10-6. The bar was by far the best part of this hotel, between 10-12 midnight, you could get any of the following: soft drinks, iced tea, water, beer, spirits, cocktails, coffee, tea,hot chocolate, slushies (particularly good in hot weather) ice pops and ice cream!!! Drinks with meals were also good, beer/wine/soft drinks/water and juice were all available.
The staff were very friendly, and if you made the effort to either speak spanish or to talk they always remembered drinks (I expect if you went back often enough!!!).
The resort is small and there isn't much to do for older kids/teenagers, though for younger kids its fab, plenty of mini go-kart and trampoline type of things.
The beaches (there were 3 of them) were small but lovely, the nicest being Cala Domingos Gran, which is overlooked from the Samoa, beautiful clear sea and between this beach and the next door beach, there is a fantastic little cave where you can walk in right under the rocks. Another beach we visited was Cala Antena, at the other end of the resort, but although the beach was quiet, the sea was full of rubbish, having snorkeled here I didn't want to go back in the sea!!!
All in all, we had a great stay, the hotel we couldn't fault really and for what we paid, thought it was great value for money, if it was in another resort would go again in a heartbeat!!
Advice: Quiet resort, great for families with small children
Activities: Short bus ride to Caves of Drach, amazing!!
