I stayed at Laguna Beach Alya Resort & Spa for 10 days in August whilst travelling with a friend's family and had a really enjoyable holiday.
The hotel itself was very clean throughout. Our room was cleaned every day, the air conditioning worked really well, and we had a nice view across the hotel. The bed was comfortable enough, although the sheets felt a little rough at times. We had no issues with noise during our stay.
The food was decent overall. There was plenty of choice each day, and whilst not everything was to my taste, I always found something I enjoyed. The freshly cooked food from the grill was particularly nice, as was the pasta.
The pool area was one of the highlights for me. The pools were a great size and kept very clean. The only downside was that if you wanted a sunbed in a good spot, you needed to be up fairly early.
What really made this holiday stand out was the entertainment team. The daytime activities were absolutely top tier and easily the best part of the hotel. There was always something going on, including water basketball, water polo, volleyball, darts, Jenga, pool games, beach volleyball and more.
A special mention has to go to Diya, Karina, Polina and Lina (from the Animation Team), who were all absolutely outstanding throughout our stay. Their energy, enthusiasm and ability to get everyone involved made a huge difference to our experience and helped create such a fun atmosphere around the hotel every day. Diya was always full of energy and brought a fantastic vibe to every activity, while Karina, Polina and Lina were equally brilliant, constantly engaging with guests, encouraging participation and making sure everyone felt included. The amount of effort they put in each day was clear to see, and they genuinely helped make the holiday so memorable. They are all a real credit to the resort and were without doubt the highlight of our stay.
The staff across the hotel were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I also used the gym a few times. It was fairly basic but exactly what I would expect from a hotel gym.
The location is a little further away from any major city, but because there was so much going on at the hotel, this wasn't really an issue for us. There is also a shopping centre nearby which was convenient.
Overall, I had a great stay and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing all-inclusive holiday with plenty of activities. Whilst I probably wouldn't return myself, that's only because I like to visit new places rather than revisit the same destination. The entertainment team really made the holiday memorable and helped create a fantastic atmosphere throughout our stay.
Laguna beach
We had a mixed experience at Laguna Beach. There were some definite positives, but also a few things that could be improved.
Unfortunately, there was a noticeable bad drain smell during our stay, which was unpleasant at times. In the evenings, when there was entertainment on, there seemed to be very minimal tables available for the number of guests, and we didn’t think it was appropriate that some guests were expected to sit on sunbeds to watch the entertainment.
We also had an issue with noisy, drunk guests in the room next door. The noise became quite intimidating and scared my daughter, so I had to go to reception to raise the issue. This was disappointing and did affect our enjoyment of the stay.
On the positive side, the food was good, with plenty of choice, and there was lots of space in the restaurants. There were also plenty of sunbeds available, which was a real bonus.
The staff deserve a special mention. Everyone we encountered was very pleasant and helpful, and they work tirelessly, particularly the housekeeping, maintenance and bar staff. Their hard work and friendly attitude really stood out.
Overall, Laguna Beach has a lot of positives, but the drainage smell, lack of suitable seating for evening entertainment and the issue with noisy guests are areas that I feel need addressing

Second Visit
This is the second time we have stayed at Laguna Beach, our first stay was just over two years ago when we had a lovely holiday and when we have visited again the hotel certainly didn’t disappoint. We would even go so far as to say that the hotel has definitely upped their game. We arrived late at 12:15am, we decided against Jet2’s coach transfer after the last time as it took over 2hours and instead opted for a private transfer which got us to the hotel in a lot less time. Check in was seamless and the guys on reception even recognised us from two years ago. We had paid extra when we booked for a pool facing room but we were a bit disappointed when we realised they had allocated us a disabled room, we were to tired to go back to reception and decided to just accept the room for what it was as we wouldn’t be in there that much but when we went to use the shower the next morning we found it didn’t work properly and was leaking, so we went down to reception to explain the situation and by 11.30am they had sorted and moved us to another room There is plenty of food with lots of choice for everyone and they also hold theme nights over the week, the hotel also has two A La-carte restaurants, a Turkish and an Italian with a meal in either of these included in your stay, you do have to book but well worth a visit, we booked into the Italian and the food and wine was delicious! Entertainment team kept everyone going all day every day apart from Sundays. The only disappointment about them is that they always seem to connect, sit and speak to the same people all the time. In the ten nights we were here the only engagement I had with them was when taking part in the games other than that they never came and sat and spoke to us. There are plenty of sun beds and people normally start putting the towels on around 8am when they go for breakfast. The waiting staff are great and can’t do enough for you. Some staff were still there who had been there when we last visited 2 years ago and they recognised us and we were well looked after. Everywhere is absolutely spotless and staff are constantly going round collecting glasses and emptying your lounger bins. One of the downsides to our stay was the night time Entertainment, there was something going on every night but we found that compared to the last time we visited where the entertainment started around 8pm, this time it didn’t start until well after 10pm which could prove a bit late for some people especially those with young families. One thing I would like to suggest is that the hotel maybe has a designated smoking area especially during meal times as there is nothing worse than people smoking around you when you’re trying to eat your food. Overall our stay at Laguna Beach was amazing and we will definitely be returning.
