Hesperia Bristol Playa

Visited this resort on the 20th - 29th of September, having briefly read over one or two previously written reviews, we had a slight concern on what too expect. However, once we had arrived we were greeted by an excellent team at reception, very helpful with checking in and showing us to our apartment and we where arrived at our accommodation, those concerns we had were dismissed.
Although a little dated, the room, balcony area and the resort was clean and tidy, with numerous workers carrying out various duties throughout the day and into the early evening. The pool area was clean, loads of sun loungers and and plenty of space too move around. The pool side bar and the staff working from it we're excellent, along with the onsite supermarket. Perfect location for the main strip and old town square, with various evening entertainment. after an evening in town, a visit to the hotel bar was a delight. background music, mixing and communicating with other guests and looked after by the excellent bar staff, in particular young Amin, what a star. This being our first stay at Hesperia Bristol Playa and our second time too Collalejo, our first visit was 15yrs ago. in my opinion this location is everything you could want and is good value for money, compared to other resorts.

thank you all at Hesperia Bristol Playa. Mr & Mrs C Johnston

I recently stayed in one of the sea-facing apartments and unfortunately found the accommodation very disappointing.

The apartment was very out dated and in need of refurbishment. There were several maintenance issues, including peeling and missing paint on the doors and walls, curtains need a good clean, rusting pipes in the bathroom, and a general feeling that the property needed refreshing. The fridge was not clean on arrival, and although the reception staff and Jet2 representatives were helpful and arranged for it to be cleaned, this did not change the overall condition of the apartment.

There were also ants in both the kitchen and bedroom, which was frustrating during the stay. The bedding was not changed during our visit, and the lack of air conditioning made the apartment uncomfortable at times.

On a positive note, the location is excellent, particularly for access to the beach/harbour being an 20 minute walk and local amenities close by. The pool area was also well maintained and enjoyable to use throughout the holiday. The staff were friendly and helpful when issues were raised.

Overall, while the location and pool area are definite strengths, the accommodation itself would benefit from significant updating, improved cleanliness standards, and better maintenance.

Read some of the reviews prior to going but mine and the wife's experience was excellent Apartment suited our needs staff all friendly Lovely on site supermarket Hotel staff bar staff and pool bar great. Singers good on a night and lovely quiet location but just ten to fifteen minutes walk to the harbour along the beech front Definitely recommend
