Princesa Playa Hotel

just returned from 2 very relaxing and enjoyable weeks at the princesa playa. The pool is very large and caters for all ages and abilities. Even when they are doing activities in the pool there is plenty of room left for everyone else. The buffet was excellent and have def put on weight on our return. The hotel animation team deserve a special mention from the kids disco to the main evening entertainment these guys put in some work. Rooms are adequate but nothing special. Lovely beach 5mins walk away which doesn't get as busy as main... more

This was our second year to the Princesa Playa and were not disappointed everything was just fantastic we stayed from 22 June - 6th July with my two children aged 5 & 9. The food was excellent, the staff were excellent, The rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels every day. My daughters were constantly entertained through the day in the pool, which is great for all ages, and the evening entertainment ,ok although is cheesy kept the kids happy which is what you want on holiday. Some of the acts ie the magic acts , chinese acrobats and... more

I used to be a holiday rep at this hotel when it first opened, I remember the land being a pile of rubble the year before and looked forward to working there the following year. That was 10 years ago and not very much has changed, some of the staff are still there in the restaurant and bar. Pool and garden areas are still immaculate and well maintained. We were half board and the food is good, esp for vegetarians and some great fish dishes every day. Staff are very friendly and the entertainment is your typical hotel entertainment. I would... more

Hi thought i would write a review, as i have just come back from this hotel with my partner-my 1year old son. The hotel on first inpression is good, clean etc, the reception is clean etc. We arrived at the hotel, and found out our room was not ready to go into, it needed cleaning hadnt been done yet, even those it was 2.30pm in the afternoon. after waiting around the reception for 30mins+ the room was ready. The room itself is small, i booked a apartment for the 3 of us, the apartment is really a hotel room with a kitchen in... more

Stayed with my wife and 3 children, all under 4 years old in June 2007. Found this hotel to be excellent. The room although small for 5 was adequate and very clean. Maid service was daily with fresh towels everyday. We had a great room (328) which was on the ground floor and overlooked the pool. A great location for families with small children with buggies. We booked self catering with Cosmos and paid for half board when we arrived it cost us about 360 Euros for the week, which we thought worked out as good value. The pool... more

We booked the Princesa Playa via a Cosmos package holiday for 14days, after reading the reviews on tripadvisor. What a great family holiday location. We stayed in a hotel room with our young (3.5yrs) son, which was the first time he'd stayed in the same room as us, on a halfboard basis. The hotel itself is very pleasant and well kept with polite friendly staff. The rooms are clean and airey and the maid comes daily so there's not much to do. The restaurant is where the hotel exceeds, espcially for families with young... more

We stayed in the hotel on half board and I have to say we didn't have any quibbles at all. The staff, rooms. hotel, resort and island can best be described as wonderful. The choice of food is amazing and we did not feel repetitive, yes the resturants in Cala n Bosch are nicer but our kids loved that they could eat as much as they wanted every night! Its a friendly hotel for families and older couples and a very very relaxing environment. The cosmos rep was helpful and friendly and not at all pushy, he was there nearly... more

I have just returned from a week in the self catering apartments at this complex. I cannot understand how these apartments gained their official 4 star rating, and I am even more baffled by Cosmos rating them 4 star plus. The first thing that you notice on entering the apartment is the stale smell. Reception told me this was because the apartments had been closed up for the winter and they just needed airing. On closer investigation I discovered that the smell was attibuted to the mould growing in the wardrobes, and the kitchen... more

Booked this hotel, as had such great reviews which gave it the No.1 position on trip advisor. Would have to say, we were slightly disappointed and extremely glad that we had the week on a special offer through COSMOS. Not really sure how it has had such high ratngs in the past. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, if a little dated. The rooms were O.K, as we hardly spent any time in it, however, could do with being updated. There was a fridge which we used for drinks, but wouldn't trust it to being cold enough for food or milk etc.<br... more

Just got back from a really great half-term week holiday at the Princesa Playa! We were mum, dad and daughters 11 and 12 years. We took a self-catering apartment but also used the restaurant some days which gave a 10% reduction to self-catering guests. As reported, it was good quality buffet style catering but a little repetitive for a whole week! The hotel/apartment complex is well laid out and reflected accurately in the other traveller's photos on this website. We did some scouting for a future trip and could not find... more
