Alcazar Hotel & Spa

Second stay here, first time in 2018. There have been a few changes since the last stay but nothing major. Positives - • The overall cleanliness of the hotel is very good, rooms are cleaned daily unless you request otherwise. With that being said, some bits of the hotel are a bit dated for example the furniture, but still very clean throughout including the pool area, outside terrace, indoor seating areas, ground floor toilets (which I preferred to my hotel bathroom) • My room was very comfortable with effective air con. 16°c was perfect to come back to after leaving your room for a couple of hours. I had enough space for belongings and clothings. I had a low floor, room 101 which had a massive balcony, it seemed a shame to have so much space with nothing on it, but I did have 2 sun loungers! • The area is nice, very flat less than 10 min walk to the beach which is also kept beautifully clean. There are enough places to eat if you browse Tripadvisor first for recommendations Negatives - • The food was hit-or-miss. Luckily only booked bed & breakfast which was buffet style, I am a fussy eater so although there was plenty of choice I did struggle to eat a full meal given the choices. Snack bar by the pool was a lot better though! • Sun bed reservation should not be allowed, as with any hotel, the massive amount of leaving towels on sun beds was a real shame at this hotel. Some towels were left on beds all day and never claimed, although there are plenty of beds and places to relax yes, there should be a stricter approach to this from staff, especially during August • Minor issue, but the repetitive dance music by the pool was a little bit irritating towards the end of my stay, I can’t speak for others but I found it hard to relax at times because of this, I personally would have preferred no music as the same playlist played all day long (8am-late)
