great 3 night stop and would use again
JUst got back from a short 3 night stop at this hotel, 2 couples. I would highly recommend this hotel, very clean, staff very welcoming and very helpful. We had a delux room which had every thing we needed, and was cleaned daily while we was there, we only went bed and breakfast, and i am a fussy eater but i always found food i liked. The pool outside there was plenty of beds to use. The bar its self there is very well priced as well. we was all from the UK and we all said we would 100% use this hotel again. Its also in a good location of bars and restuarants, about a 15 min walk to the sea front, well unless we took the long route.
Great hotel but poor food options
We have been here to Albir playa hotel every year for the past 5 years and this year I think will be our last. Although I can’t fault the location, atmosphere and the rooms the food is somewhat bland and has got worse each time we’ve visited, with very limited choice, the options are always the same sometimes with no meat option so salad, plain pasta or chips is what you’re left with. The poor children live on chips and a bread roll for the duration of their stay. If the hotel isn’t fully booked then the lunchtime options are even worse.
The same food year after year and most of the time is barely warm.
We come each year to see family so although we will come back to Albir we will be looking for somewhere else to stay as we feel we can predict what the food options will be before we’ve even got here.so major changes need to be made to the buffet menu.
If you pay as you go I think 18euros is very expensive for a plate of chips and a bread roll
!! So you would be best eating out.
There are some lovely restaurants and bars along the beach front with some very reasonable prices.
Rooms are of a good size and cleaned everyday if not every other day, staff are pleasant enough although there is one who doesn’t speak one word to you and that is the outside bar.
Definitely not a 4 star due to the food but if this was to improve massively then I would recommend a visit .
Definitely going adults only next time!
Used to be a nice hotel. Visited in 2026 and 2020. Rooms are still ok. Breakfast no way near as good as it used to be, but still passable The issue is there is currently a school or football party of about 80 kids in the hotel. Ages about 8-14. No teachers or supervision visible. When they descend on the pool, imagine the noise. I understand kids make noise but this is ridiculous. Like I say, will not stay here again, will go adults only next time as I don't find being around 50 unsupervised screaming children very relaxing.
Ridiculously noisy
Rooms and reception area OK for the price. Staying on B&B tariff and the breakfast buffet is poor. For example, one day there was decent Serrano ham but today there were 3 types of reformed pink ham that wouldn't look out of place in an Asda smart price packet. You know the type with a teddy bear's face on it, 12% meat, 88% connective tissue/fat. This is not me being fussy, this is simply low quality produce. And the sausages... I would not feed to a dog. Pool area is stupidly noisy as there seems to be about 100 kids on a school trip here. Teachers in the bar? Certainly nowhere to be seen, so we have to endure their permanent screaming. My idea of hell, just off to get my earbuds

very nice stay
we stayed here for a week, rooms were very nice and spacious and we found the staff to be very friendly! cocktails by the pool were very nice and bar food at lunch time was also very enjoyable!
we booked full board- the food wasn’t that varied e.g. for fussier eaters or children who may eat pizza or nuggets there isn’t much selection only chips and bread. as someone who is not fussy i also struggled to find things to eat due to a lack of variety. however the fruit and ice creams were very nice!
we found out when we arrived you had to pay a deposit and a fee for the pool towel as well as a charge it €2 to change them, so i would recommend taking your own towel.
pool was bigger than it looks on the photos and it was very quiet around the pool as well! sun loungers were so easy to get so there’s no need to get up early to get a sunbed as there is plenty!
the location is also very convenient as there is a lidl right next to it where you can get your own drinks and snacks! and only a 10 minute walk to the beach! felt very safe at this hotel and had a great holiday here!!
