Beautiful Hotel in fab location
I was quite apprehensive going to the El Tope as I had read so many bad reviews. I knew as a solo traveller going with TUI I would probably be in a basement room which are talked about with horror by some reviewers. I was in 005 a basement room and I really liked it, felt very safe and had a fantastic panoramic view over the town centre and sea, the window was huge and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. I felt very well looked after with lots of changes of towels etc and the bed was very comfortable. I slept very well every night.
The staff were all very professional and friendly. In the dining room I never had to wait more than a few minutes for the waiter to take my drinks order. There is no cash everything gets charged to your room and my bar bill at the end of the holiday was a very reasonable £85 that included a wine and water every night and some drinks at the bar. The entertainment wasn’t the best but I was quite happy sitting after dinner with a cocktail reading a book and listening to whatever was on.
Location wise its half way between everything a quick 2 minute walk down around 120 steps or a 5 minute walk downhill. Coming back there are plenty stops on the steps going up or the hill isn’t too bad if you are fully mobile. A taxi was around 8 euros including a 2 euro tip from Plaza El Charco and there is a big supermarket right beside the taxi rank which is very reasonable. If you want night life there is some good places to go Tasca Minguis, Molly Malones, the quiz at the Robin Hood and to watch football etc The Beehive as well as some fantastic eateries all over the town. The Martianez shopping centre at the bottom of the steps has some great shopping and a big supermarket and there is a small supermarket right next to the hotel. It is very well located with fantastic views and the roof top bar has amazing views and lovely cocktails.
Best of all for me in the hotel was the food. The dining room had a lovely ambiance and the food selection was outstanding. I don’t know why so many reviews said the food wasn’t good, in my opinion it was amazing. Breakfast has a huge selection of everything and at night the evening meal was fab. Brilliant salad selection, lots of veg, a roast every day, lots of different main courses to choose from and all the desserts were yummy. So please don’t be put off by the reviews. Next time I visit PDLC I will definitely be staying here again.

Bore off
Moan moan moan, all the boring so called "reviewers" leaving bad reviews. Hahaha, you're here in winter, you paid half the summer price, you should know that the Spanish renovate their hotels at this time of year. Ahhhhhh diddummmmms, was it a bit noisy for you.
Staff lovely, food fine, drinks cheap and fine, accommodation very nice, especially in the recently renovated rooms.
Overall, fabulous value for money, unless you're a boring, moaning imbecile.
Average but mainly due to room allocation
Nice hotel relatively close to the beach. However not great for people with walking disability. Positioned on a hill with either approximately 200 steps or a steep hill to negotiate. Breakfast was good but dinner disappointing. One main bug bear was the location of our room. We were allocated a room below reception. The corridor was dark and dingy, not appealing at all. The room itself was large and clean, no balcony and due to the fact that you looked out on scrub land, you were unable to leave the window open or you were inundated with bugs. Request an upgrade if allocated these rooms. Otherwise our friends room on the 6th floor was good. We found some of the reception staff difficult to deal with, otherwise other staff were very nice. I would rate this hotel as average.

Good for kids but leaves a lot to be desired for adults
Well situated hotel, very child friendly and newly upgraded. However, there are no shelves or drawers in the bedrooms, only a small towel rail in the bathroom and they ask you to reuse towels each day but nowhere to hang them to dry. No toiletries or shower cap except soap and a shower gel, kettle provided but no tea, coffee or milk. Fridge but nothing in it. Masses of food choices, meals all buffet style. A very beige hotel!
Perfect location, clean hotel al room, delicious food, friendly staff that makes you feel welcome.
The hotel is renovated and very clean. We had a wonderful family room with a terrace; it was modernly furnished and very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had half-board—all the food was excellent, very tasty and offered a wide variety of choices. Recommend! The Atlantic Splash for children and the hotel's rooftop terrace are fantastic. The location is superb, right next to shops and the local action. We were very pleasantly surprised and we really enjoyed. We highly recommend it! It's a bit harder to find a parking spot, but we had a lucky all days
