Hotel Playa Grande

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel the hotel staff are all very friendly including the cleaners. My room was very clean, it had a tv. There was no mini bar, coffee machine or fridge. I did ask to borrow a kettle which I the staff gave me. My 1st of 2 complaints is that in the room the plug sockets were not easy to use. In front of one was a dressing table and the one as I entered the room, near the door was about 8” off the floor. I wasn’t on a business trip but I needed to charge my phone, tablet and watch. My 2nd complaint is that the life guard was promising every day that the swimming pool was going to be cleaned (a sandstorm had deposited sand in it at the beginning of the week and the water wasn’t very clean it was cloudy) I didn’t use the swimming pool the whole week I stayed in the hotel some people swam in it but I chose not to. I understand that the pool was going to be cleaned at some point but I felt that the hotel didn’t prioritise this. This is a shame because I chose to stay in this hotel because it has a swimming pool.

Older lovely hotel right on the beach. Not overcrowded in May. Late night parties are a bit noisy, but so European to have your morning café con leche on the terrace in the morning.

I stayed in this hotel because it was very near a relative in Spain I was visiting. It’s right on the beach. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. There are no tea making facilities in the rooms. I asked the staff and they loaned me a kettle. There is a tv in the room, I couldn’t find the English Channel, maybe I didn’t search enough. The cleaners come everyday to clean change the towels and empty the rubbish from your room. To have a shower I had to get in the bath and pull a shower curtain across. I had a balcony which overlooked the sea and a children's play area. Occasionally smells from the kitchen would waft up, I could only smell it if I was in the balcony not in my room. There was no fridge in the room I stayed in. There was a telephone. There’s a swimming pool only open certain times of the year. The sun loungers had no cushions on them. The hotel has Wi-Fi but unfortunately my phone didn’t stay connected. I hired a car and parked in the street outside the hotel so I didn’t have to pay any parking charges. I had breakfast a couple of times in the hotel, it was a continental breakfast, ham, cheese, a cake, jug of orange, toasted bread and jam and coffee. I didn’t see any cereals and it’s not buffet style. This is a 3* hotel and it was very popular with Spanish holiday makers. If you choose not to eat at the hotel there are plenty of places to eat within a short drive of this hotel. There’s the Port in Puerto de Mazarron or the town of Bolnuevo.

Lovely hotel. On beach. Beautiful views. Don’t go to 2nd floor as there is no internet if needed. We were moved to first floor. Very obliging. Don’t have a first floor room near reception. Very noisy. Problem with water pressure too. Some time no water. But overall we loved it.

Beautiful views over the sea. Very clean. Needs updating. Caters for spanish
