Playa Pocillos Hotel

We have just returned from our week at the Pocillos Playa Hotel and Spa and after reading other reviews we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is situated just a short taxi ride from the airport and costs less than 10 euros, make sure you ask for the hotel as the taxi drivers still want to take you to the apartments in Matagorda. We arrived just before lunch and luckily one of our two room was ready so we unpacked and then made our way to lunch. The food was the most disappointing part of the holiday, as others have stated the food is... more

I went to the Playa Club & Spa hotel between 13 and 20 May 2007 after having read some dreadful reviews - after I'd booked! The check in was quick & efficient and the room, upper one overlooking the pool was lovely - big, clean & cool. I would not have been happy had I been put into a room not round the pool, of which there are many. The rooms were cleaned every day & bedding changed half way through the week. The food, being vegetarian, was pretty poor but I wasn't really that bothered as we were only there for a week. I agree with... more

Myself, my partner and our one year old daughter stayed at this hotel last week, all-inclusive. Considering the age of our daughter, we had a very relaxing and hitch free flight with 'VIking Airlines', a company I had never even heard of before, and we also got a free plane meal which we didnt even know about when we booked!! Leg room on the plane was appauling though. Only a 10 Euro taxi ride from the airport so no need to book transfers in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised as the room was... more

We travelled as a group of 4 adults to the Pocillos Playa and Spa at the end of March... I've been to 25 hotels in 3 years now (I'm a travel agent) and this is the most emmaculate hotel I've stayed in. It's brand new and it's not got a spec of dust on it. The rooms are a generous size and they have self controlled air con. Try and get a pool view as well as it just adds that extra touch. The entertainment in the evening was mainly for kids which is quite entertaining for the adults inadvertantly as the entertainment guys are really... more

Just come back from an all inclusive week here with my wife and it was lovely. DO NOT CONFUSE WITH THE POCILLOS PLAYA APARTMENTS. HOTEL: Only 64 rooms. Recently refurbished - everything is lovely and clean. Beds are super comfortable. We had an upstairs room (the hotel is only ground floor plus 1st floor) witha view over the pool and out to the sea beyond. Communual areas and bars are finished in lovely marble and give a real sense of class to the whole establishment. Only 100m from the beach front at Pocillos with it's small... more

We were worried what we were going to as this holiday was so cheap for the three fo us. We need not have worried as this hotel is excellent considering we payed just over £600 for and all inclusive week! The Pocillos Playa is spotlessly clean and the staff and friendly and very helpful. The food on the whole is excellent with too much choice however the cooked breakfast was always tepid and very very greasy. My 7 year old son was in his element as he could choose his food himself and keep going back for more! Soft drinks, Beer and... more

arrived at this hotel with some apprehension as i had read terrible reviews on trip advisor, they must have been confused with the dump of a place the taxi driver took us to first (there are a few places with the same name) the place was clean and the staff were kind and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip, it was very very quiet there were some undesirable people at the resort who caused all kinds of problems for the staff (booking for 6 people and turning up with 10/you know who you are) they checked out and went home the day after we arrived.... more
