Los Jameos Playa Hotel Reviews
" What can we say. Why is this a 4... "
Submitted By: Mr Mark Purvis
What can we say. Why is this a 4 star, felt like we were living it up in a five star. Food was excellent and a different theme every night. Rooms were very large, very bright and very airy with excellent facilities.
Amenities on site were to die for. We even booked the tennis professional and had lessons for the first time ever - and yes we did improve. Two pools - both outside and one heated. It may have been November but we spent every day in the heated pool under sunny blue skies. We usually have a car and go off visiting but this visit was spent just in the hotel and environs. Besides the tennis there were squash courts, badminton, outdoor chess, boules, the list goes on. An added extra to the holiday was the glass of champagne waiting for all arrivals, which got the holiday off to a fine start. Would we recommend it, of course we would. We are going back in October this year and aim to do a couple of tours this time but leaving the hotel will be a wrench.

" My family travelled to this hotel in... "
Submitted By: Mrs D Meese
My family travelled to this hotel in August. I had read a number of reviews before I went, and all were pretty much dead on! It’s a nice hotel, clean, spacious and the staff are helpful, polite and keen to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.
The food is great! You are never short of choices, every taste is accommodated for and as we went all inclusive we could have eaten all day! The hotel is great for kids, one daughter - 6 and son 9, had a ball. From a mini disco every night (and all the kids get hooked), kids club, (free of charge), tennis, table tennis, games room etc. Both the children made friends and the hotel is set up in such a way that you feel comfortable letting them play out of sight, in fact their favourite game was hide and seek (using the whole hotel!).
Our room, was pleasant, clean with the option of a fridge and safe. It would have been nice to have tea/coffee facilities, but I believe there are rooms that do supply them. There is also a few shops, which are reasonable for gifts or treats and a beauty salon, which is very reasonable.
I have only one main criticism and it did effect our holiday considerably. The sun beds! Due to the international flavour of the resort, if you were not down with your towels on the beds by 8am, you were very unlikely to get one with a parasol for the rest of the day.
As my daughter burnt on the first day due to this, we couldn’t take the risk again and had to take it in turns to set our alarm and get up early!! It was crazy and I complained to the hotel and rep, and was told they had tried everything, but for those summer 6 weeks it was impossible.
So, as long as you are happy to be up early and get those beds, then you will have a great holiday!

" Excellent hotel....... Went last year... "
Submitted By: Miss J Hannigan
Excellent hotel....... Went last year and am planning to go 2007. Had a child aged 5 who had a ball, kids club was excellent the girls were lovely. Boyfriend and I got to spend quality time together as it was so save for my little girl. I took 1 mark off for the breakfast, wasn’t the best although everything else was perfect. Recommend this place to anyone well worth the extra few bob and all the staff are really friendly.

" We have 4 children & all 6 of us... "
Submitted By: Mrs C Wright
We have 4 children & all 6 of us stayed here for a week in Feb. The hotel was smart, clean & well appointed. The rooms were very comfortable with TV, fridge, air con, balcony - could have done with a kettle.
Staff were helpful & happy to supply extra towels/pillows. You could also hire bathrobes which was a nice touch. The weather was not great but the entertainments team did a good job during the day & they have several good tennis courts to hire by the hour. The heated pool was actually warm & the children spent a lot of time in the water.
The evening entertainments were a bit weak but there was plenty on locally & i can recommend titty trollop's! - Suitable for families. The food was plentiful, varied & of a good standard - the waiters were excellent & most spoke fairly good English!
I would recommend this hotel & would use it again if staying in the area.

" My family (me, wife, boy 10 and boy... "
Submitted By: Mr A Vine
My family (me, wife, boy 10 and boy 13 ) stayed in the Los Jameos Playa for two weeks in July, the first impression of the hotel was that it was stunning this was the general feeling throughout our stay. The rooms where clean comfortable and spacious, the hotel was kept spotless to a fault and would shame many private homes there seemed to be someone assigned to every part of the hotel to keep it right . The staff where very efficient friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food this is where I'm lost for words. I really cant describe the high standard and choice, you just got to be there. You will need to join weight watchers when you get home. Entertainment was upmarket and changed every night for the whole 2 weeks. Day time activities where many and you could relax by the wonderful pools or join in. I could ramble on for many more pages so enough to say its a wonderful hotel and can highly recommend it to anyone . I'm going back this year can't wait! Woo Hoo!!

The whole complex was spotlessly clean. The staff were always friendly and polite. The food was absolutely fantastic, lots of choice, even for fussy eaters. My only negative would be the entertainment in an evening. There was a show or something on each evening which started at 9pm, however, it only usually lasted 1 hour and then everyone seemed to leave to go to bed!!!
I must say there were not that many English guests during our stay. I think the hotel is German run and there were lots of German guests, however, they were polite and we found this not to be a problem.
We would most definitely return to this hotel and rate it highly.
Advice: Easy walking distance to nearby resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Matagorda.
Activities: Near to airport therefore very short transfer (approx. 5 mins). Aircraft noise but very slight.
Good for: Beach
