"I stayed at the The Ritz-Carlton, Abama with my husband and baby. On the second day of our trip, I contacted the concierge to request assistance with freezing our baby’s milk ice packs, and a member of staff came to our room to collect them.
At checkout, we requested that the ice packs be returned to us. We were informed that someone would bring them down shortly, so we waited in our room for nearly an hour for an update that never came. Eventually, we went to reception ourselves, only to be told that nothing matching our description could be found in the freezer.
A search was later conducted in the room service freezer, but the ice packs were still nowhere to be found. What made the experience even more frustrating was the dismissive attitude of the front desk staff. We were told that, according to their records and call logs, no calls had been made from our room that day, and we were even questioned about whether a staff member had actually come to collect the ice packs. The receptionist even showed us that there was no record or log of the request.
I then requested that they review the CCTV footage near our room to confirm that a member of staff had indeed been sent to collect the items. At that point, the receptionist became noticeably quiet, especially as I had in fact called multiple times that day, including another request for an ice bucket.
By this stage, we were already running late for our flight"
"Excellent hotel. Staff are amazing. Plenty of choice in the buffet. Particularly enjoyed The Beach Club restaurant. Pools are heated and there’s always loads of sunbeds available. Pool towels are also provided. Enjoyed the evening entertainment and bar staff always walking around ready to fetch you drinks. "
"Well, the hotel isn't exactly horrible—especially since it has just been renovated—but it suffers from major structural issues regarding sewage disposal. The "ocean views" are misleading, as they are seen from the rear balcony and are located more than 500 feet away. The cleanliness is relatively good; however, the rooms lack air conditioning, and you are forced to rent fans. The staff appears competent but comes across as rather unexpressive."
"This is our 4th time at this hotel and really can’t fault it however we booked through Expedia and I wouldn’t again as after booking was a further large expense on top of price for luggage and seats on plane etc through ryanair . This was for 3 people I initially priced the holiday through another site and could have saved myself money with transfers added in as well"
"Fantastic location of hotel. Staff were amazing with me when I arrived as was upset, they reassured me gave me a glass of fizz and even upgraded my room . Maids were good. Everyone was friendly in hotel. Mainly couples hotel . Couldn’t fault them would definately stay again given location too was great "
"Average 3* hotel. Upon arrival, there was a distasteful smell around the reception area. Staff at check in was very helpful but after subsequent interactions with the staff seemed quite dismissive and less welcoming which was a shame. Room was clean and basic amenities provided but no general waste bin bags available. We were only staying 3 nights so we would not buy bin bags. Also no room service since we were only staying 3 nights. View from room was average. "
"Lovely hotel with incredible views over the sea, very nice pool, good location with restaurants etc nearby and a 15 mins walk to the main part of Puerto de la Cruz (a bit steep on the way back). Plenty of parking within 5-10 mins walk. Breakfast is good, only negative is that the lifts are quite slow. "
"Brilliant experience. Very friendly staff. Views of the ocean and location were excellent. Breakfast was scrumptious (special thanks to the chef at the omelette station) but food at other restaurants at the resort could get better (basics like burger and wrap were underwhelming) . Would definitely come again for the hospitality and the vibe."
