Club Hotel Drago Park

Unfortunately, this hotel is not a 4-star place — maybe by local standards, but definitely not by mine. It badly needs refurbishment, and the elevators look like they’re from the mid-90s. We arrived after midnight, around 00:45, and asked for some drinks. Unfortunately, everything had to be paid for, and there was barely any food left. Not even water was available with the late evening meal! I understand charging for alcoholic drinks, but soft drinks or water? This really put me off. The next morning, coffee was another surprise. It’s advertised as all-inclusive, but coffee is only available from an automatic machine. If you want proper coffee, you have to pay extra. Other drinks are also available for an additional charge. I’m not really interested in paying extra for mid-range whisky such as Jack Daniel’s. The cleaner did an OK job, although on two occasions the glasses weren’t cleaned and the bins weren’t emptied, so I had to call reception. The same happened with the body wash and conditioner — I had to contact reception twice. Overall, the hotel is quite noisy. Every movement of a chair or bed in the neighbouring room can wake you up in the evening. The doors also need better seals, as the wind makes quite an annoying noise. Cocktails are very sweet and taste different from bar to bar. The pool bar bartender deserves a big shout-out, though — he served us perfectly every time. Also, the big fella from the entertainment/party area deserves a mention. We spent nearly two weeks here, and without exploring the island and having access to a car, this holiday would not have been enjoyable. The food is quite repetitive, with not a huge choice. However, the soups, stews, desserts and fish were lovely. You could say the food is prepared more for locals, which I actually appreciated. The entertainment was quite good. I believe the staff do what the budget allows them to do. We had one pool party that was fantastic; the rest of the evening entertainment was OK, but nothing spectacular. Overall, I don’t think I can recommend this hotel, and I definitely wouldn’t come back.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic.

At first, when you’re making your way to your room after checking in, the hotel can feel like a real maze. However, after just a few hours, you quickly get used to the layout and finding your way around is no problem at all. The hotel is also much bigger than it looks in photos or YouTube videos – it really is huge!

The swimming pool is excellent and the water is heated. I checked the temperature several times and it was consistently around 28°C.

The food is absolutely not repetitive. I honestly have no idea what people who say that are talking about. Of course, some dishes appear more than once across different meals, but that’s the case in practically every hotel. There is still plenty of variety, and the food itself is delicious.

There is also a snack bar by the pool serving drinks and snacks such as pizza, fries, burgers, hot dogs, fruit and cakes.

The staff are incredibly friendly without exception. The rooms are cleaned every day, and the housekeeping staff are excellent as well.

There is a shop just about a two-minute walk from the hotel where you can buy all the essentials, including food, toiletries and household items, alcohol and cigarettes.

We have been to Spain many times, but Drago Park is definitely the best hotel choice we could have made. We had a fantastic stay and would happily come back!

Another big plus for us is that there are no noisy kids’ parties late into the evening like you often get at resorts in Egypt or Turkey, and no endless silly songs like “Chocolate”, “Baby Shark” or “Cocodrilo”. There is a foam party one evening a week, but that’s about it. Around the pool they mostly play older, atmospheric Latin music, which creates a really pleasant holiday vibe instead of the constant loud, pounding music you sometimes get at resorts in the countries mentioned above.

If I had to find any negatives, the main one would be the number of sunbeds and parasols. Unfortunately, unless you “reserve” a sunbed around sunrise, your chances of getting one later are pretty slim. There is plenty of unused space around the pool, so the hotel could easily add at least 50% more sunbeds and parasols without making the area feel crowded. That would probably be the one improvement I’d most like to see.

WOW. Amazing time had by our family group. We had 2 kids under 5 with us and they have really enjoyed it too.

The buffet meals are excellent, wide range of foods. The pool bar is stocked with pizzas, hotdogs, burgers, chips all day too.The drinks are great too. There’s a shop onsite for basic stuff but an actual mini supermarket only a 2 min walk too. The rooms are well kept and clean.

The Animation Team really make the holiday special. Thank you to Jesus and Team for a wonderful week! Activities for all ages, a pool foam party one evening which was brilliant. Mini disco, bingo, music in the entertainment bar. A lovely bar area with outdoor seating and beautiful views. A kids swing park, a squash court, a gym and plenty of pool tables, arcade games dotted around.

Free shuttle bus daily return to Sotavento beach, and a bus to the zoo down the road for 5 euros.

The only slight annoyance for us is that there are no toilets near the pool. But we were lucky that our room was 2 mins away.

There are lots of stairs here but it is well laid out and easy to find yourself around.

If you’re thinking if going here - You’ll love it! We really did!
