HL Suitehotel Playa del Inglés

Kylpylän aukioloajat huonot, menee kiinni jo kello 18.00. Läheisten ravintoloiden diskojen basson jumputus loppui vasta aamuyöllä, häiritsi nukkumista joka yö.

Ruoka oli hyvää ja aika monipuolista.Wifi oli hyväja huoneet siistejä.Hyvä paikka auringonottajille, ehkä hieman tuulista kattoterassilla.Supermarket samassa talossa.

Kokki olisi voinut paistaa illallisilla kalat kypsiksi.

I did wonder if I should post another review of the hotel as I’ve written three over the last twelve months - but then I thought fellow travellers might only be interested in current experiences. So here goes - again. Getting there - couldn’t be easier. Breeze through the airport if you’ve got hand luggage only and if you get it right you’ll be at the hotel in no time. Buses 66 & 90 at 30 & 44 mins past the hour respectively, stop virtually outside the hotel costing just €3.50, taking about 30 mins. Likewise going back the buses leave at 45 & 02/13 mins past the hour. Check in - from 14:00 but most times when I’ve arrived earlier I’ve been able to check in. Was greeted this time by Lucy who recognised me as a returning guest and remembered my name. Sparkling wine or juice offered while checking in. Small things like this make a difference. Lucy also takes time to engage with guests throughout their stay and she’s a credit to the hotel. The room - I mainly stay in a standard room which is perfectly adequate. Comfortable bed, good size flat screen TV, tea/coffee making facility, small fridge and balcony with table & chairs. Fully tiled bathroom with twin sinks and large walk in shower with plenty of hot water and good pressure. There’s also a hair dryer and white fluffy towels. There was a free bottle of wine on arrival but no water this time. For those who are interested, the TV now has BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5. Room tips - try to avoid room ending 07-11 (so for example 610) as they are in the lift lobby area and if like me you’re a light sleeper you’ll hear people chatting while waiting along with the lift arrival chimes and doors opening. There’s a safe in the wardrobe - but you need to pay extra to use it. WiFi - not very good. In fact it’s non existent on the roof terrace and patchy in the dining room. The only place I was able to consistently connect was the bedroom.
