Sol Pelicanos Ocas

I have been to this hotel 3 times this year. May, September and now in October. I have been about 12 times all together. I love this hotel. The rooms are clean and everything you need. The last two times we have had the extra room which has beach towels, coffee machine and had a street view which is also nice as it’s a busy area and can people watch. The pool view is also good! The pool is fantastic with daily entertainment and great for all ages. The location is perfect it’s in the heart of everything with the beach just a short wal, bars restaurants and the Tavern across the road has great entertainment. The staff are great and it’s everything you need. It’s great for the price and will always come back here. I would definitely recommend staying here for coupes, families or friends

We’ve just got back from a weeks stay at the Ocas hotel and honestly I have no positive points. First of all if you are a young family PLEASE do not visit. Within our weeks stay I’ve seen beer bottles being left all around the reception areas, drug bags on the floor around the pool, the constant smell of urine and cannabis and enough homeless people hanging around the entrance to the hotel to start their very own community. Everywhere around the hotel absolutely stinks of urine which is presumably from the homeless and the amount of relentless drunks absolutely everywhere. Each morning we went down for breakfast drunk people were asleep all over the sofas, not a good look with kids being present!! How they can say this is a family friendly hotel I will honestly never know. People just use this as a base for going out and getting wrecked all day and night, which is fine if you haven’t got young kids watching. The walls might as well be made of paper mache, I’ve never slept so bad on a holiday constantly being woken up by stupidly loud drunks every single hour. We had our very own ant colony in our room, complained to jet2 but nothing was done. Black mould was in my mums room and looked like there had been a leak previously. We went on a walk to the hospital for our youngest and on the walk we came across a needle on the pavement outside the hotel. Not the hotels fault but this is a very rough area. The bed weren’t too bad but all you get is a sheet to cover yourself with, no quilt and it gets quite cold at night. People throw all sorts off their balcony and it just gets left, looks really trampy. There aren’t any family friendly restraunts nearby apart from Paradiso which I can highly recommend. One of our party was mugged outside the hotel and had their wallet taken. When we arrived we waited 4 hours for a room, yet all the stags got their rooms immediately yet we were meant to be a ‘priority’ as we had kids. Whilst we were in the Que to check in there was a drunk man asking who wanted to go for a joint 🤮 Lifts are unreliable to get to the pool area, it broke down twice while we were there. Lifts take ages if you want to go down at breakfast time as they just keep going up and down.

Overall it’s just really rough, stinks of weed and urine and they just let the drunks run riot. You honestly could not pay me to go back here. Please think twice if you have young children as this is not a safe environment for them and it is really not nice seeing the homeless absolutely everywhere shouting, one got extremely close to my child in a pushchair with a fishing hook in his hand.
