Beautiful hotel there are small shops on the sea front but if you want to go to the markets you will need to catch a bus which is 4 euros each and takes about 50 mins a Taxi however is around 40 euros food is good but the same things every day . There are two more restaurants in the hotel but can only access those by booking which you can do at reception.
This hotel has a huge following. It was our third holiday. Although things have changed, only to be expected. The overall hotel can't be beaten. The place is just amazing, never ceased to amaze us. The presentation in the dining room of faye is superb, too much choice at times.. We often feel more spaces should be opened up for eating to save feeling overcrowded. The staff work so hard pleasing everyone. Drinks are all good and always available. The pools are kept immaculate, and no rush for a sunbed works brilliantly, as the site opens at 10am. Must say that we feel the top pool is very noisy with games and activities for long periods. It would be better if these were done in the mornings, too many pool games and blaring music box spoilt it. That's the reason for the holiday in the first place. The locality is perfect, locals are so endearing, just enough outside for an early morning or evening stroll, or an extra treat meal out, also a few shops and nice walk round the headland to Gigantes. Will we return? Landmar beat the rest, no persons expectations are the same as the next, we are all individuals. ANSWER IS YES!
Massage by Nivas was amazing.. Highly recommend it and her.. Unbeatable
Recently returned from this hotel and have to say we will definately return. The food in the main restaurant was very good with plenty of choice and was constantly being replaced ( not simply replenished). The restaurant was quite peaceful and unhurried, unlike many AI buffet restaurants. The staff in the restaurant were first rate as were the staff all over the hotel. The room we had (327) was very large with shower and a shower over the bath. We found the shower over the bath to be the better of the two. We liked the fact that you received a card to keep in the room so the the AC stayed on all day whilst we were out. We also liked the fact that your room key was a QR code on your wristband so no need to carry a separate card. The room could do with a little updating but nothing horrendous. Our room was on the 3rd floor which was the same level as reception and the terrace bar which we were very pleased with. There are two main pools and the Platinum pool. If you wish to join activities such as aqua gym or pool volleyball choose the the upper(dark blue pool) which opens at 10:00 along with the pool bar. If you a bit more peace and quiet use the lower (light blue Pool) which opens at 09:00. The pool bar has quite a few snacks, pizza, hot dogs etc but also fruit and salads. Drinks are mainly self service here, beer, sangria, soft drinks water and coffee. If you take the lift at the end of the hotel next to the new bar/restaurant Faro you can get to street level and out to "the Strip" and the beach. We ate in two of the speciality restaurants which were very good. You can walk into Los Gigantes which will take approximately 40 mins. But it is not always obvious which route to take and it is quite hilly. Or you can get a bus from outside the hotel. Would we return? Definately.
