Reina Aparthotel

Late September 2008 I stayed at the Reina hotel in Vera, Almeria.
I’ve been meaning to post my feedback for a while to spread the good word about this fabulous hotel!
I stayed at the Reina Hotel as a single female on a holiday/writing break and this hotel could not have been better.
All the rooms at the Reina Hotel are apartments. There were three rooms. A large double bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen with dining area and lounge. There was also a large balcony that looked over the swimming pool.
The rooms were kept spotlessly clean.
I stayed there half-board. There is a sheet that Easy Jet email a link for, that you MUST Print up and present to the hotel staff and they give you a tick list/voucher to take to your meals.
The staff were helpful and friendly. Generally there would be at least one staff member who spoke English on the lobby desk, but if they was not they would try to help and battle through the language barrier.
The restaurant was massive and there was a great choice of food. I am fussy and this was good food. At every meal there was a chef grilling fresh food.
The food was so delicious and I had to be careful I did not return to England looking like a house!
The swimming pool was lovely and the beach is three minutes walk away. There is also a basic gym and a spa room to work off the extra weight...
For any writers out there, the lounge area was a perfect place to write. I never felt cooped-up.
The one big problem is getting to the hotel. A taxi from the airport was 90 Euros which is too expensive for me, so I found my own way.
I caught a bus from the airport in to the town of Almeria, where I caught a coach to Vera rail station and from there, a taxi to the hotel. This journey cost under 19 Euros and took a couple of hours.
I stayed at the Reina Hotel for eight nights, at half board for £282. What a bargain! I will definitely return.
I highly recommend Reina hotel in Vera, Almeria.
