Puolihoidon ruuat erittäin hyvät! Illallinen oli todella laadukas. Maksoimme 53e yöltä, sisältäen kahden hengen upean illallisen, joka olisi yksinään voinut maksaa 53e meiltä kahdelta.

Joihinkin asioihin epäselvät ohjeet.

Very good location for beach access and walking around, close to shops, bars etc. Really everything here is on the hotel's doorstep. Yet it still remains fairly quiet at nightime, at least it did for us in our room. The closest beach to the hotel, Cala Gran, is very pretty and clean. Water was amazing. Few minutes walking distance, loved it. Food - I must say whoever cooks for them they have a proper Spanish taste as everything is full of flavour. Great beef stew, spaghetti and Mexican enichalada in particular. Fresh fish grilled while you wait everyday. Good soups. Sadly selection isn't too great and food is quite repetitive. But still tasty. All incl drinks were ok. Nothing to write a book about but also no reason to complain. We also liked that there's a fair selection of pools to choose from, to the left from kids playground was our favourite, really quiet and excellent to chill out at. Another one we liked was below our apartment, great for having a drink and a chat. The main pool was a bit noisy but that's pretty normal, it was a bit weird though watching people argue for sunbeds so we gave up on this one. Kids playground, although not too big, was also a great addition. Our boy loved it after evenings meal, worked well for burning off excess calories and getting tired for the bedtime. Check in and check out were pretty straightforward, reception staff were helpful on a few occasions we had to approach them.

Bathroom in our room - don't know what to say really apart from that it was truly disgusting. No extractor, mouldy sink tap, horrible stained bath tub, foul smell from the toilet, no door lock, damaged ceiling. Why on earth do you let this happen? Entartainment team was another let down. I'm a semi pro musician and my wife is a kids animator and we both thought these people were not destined to provide entertainment. Poor self presence, terrible use of microphone, no real idea how to interact with customers. We've spent a week at Roc Golf Trinidad in Roquetas De Mar last year and Ariel's owner would benefit a lot from sending their entartainment team over there to look how the job's done properly. Top notch team it was. Staff - apart from reception people who work at the hotel seem to be tired and sad. Not heard a single 'hola' when passing by a member of staff on numerous occasions. No smile, no friendly look, nothing. Are they underpaid or don't enjoy their jobs?
