Hotel Mainare Playa

Stayed here with our 5 children (age 5 months - 11 years) and the staff were brilliant, plenty in the hotel and locally for us to do and keep the kids entertained. The staff were amazing with the local power outage and helped us with physical cash due to the atm machines not working so we could get food. Would 100% recommend Beds were comfy and air conditioning was working, the pools were chilly but it didn’t stop the kids

Pros: Staff are very professional and friendly Very central location with loads of amenities and beach nearby Spacious room with beautiful side sea views (front facing not so nice) Air conditioning fabulous Very clean throughout Shower pressure excellent Cons: Not enough drawer space (easy fix are the rooms are very spacious) Recently refurbished, however TV isn't a smart TV and has 2 channels that are only occasionally British speaking Bed linen changed once which was the day before our weeks departure €1 for a small plastic cup of ice to take to our room - Never been asked to pay for ice in a Hotel anywhere in the World €3 for a small plastic cup of draught diet coke full with ice Not Hotels issue: However really impacted our stay: Located on a very busy dual carriage way - Motorbikes racing down the long straight road. Unpleasant to sit on balcony of an evening and this issue kept us awake during the night. Hotel next door - Right adjacent to our swimming pool area had a pneumatic drill drilling all day from Monday to Friday. Couldn't stand listening to this and we opted to go to the nearby beach - €14 for 2 sun beds over 5 days!! An expense we didn't budget for!

Just got home from 10 nights here. Emailed ahead to request a high floor sea view room. That's exactly what I got - room 905 - with fabulous sunrise views too. Yes the hotel is on a busy main road but with the balcony door closed it didn't affect us at all. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the receptionist and given a lot of helpful information. The bedroom was huge, modern, spotlessly clean and well furnished. We had to ask for a kettle and more hangers and these were delivered to the room immediately. The safe costs 3 euros a day. The bathroom was modern with 2 sinks and a walk in shower. Towels changed every day. Bedding changed a few times a week. All the staff were lovely, friendly and worked very hard. We were booked in for dinner, bed & breakfast. Most people were booked in for either room only or bed & breakfast. Breakfast was lovely with everything you'd expect. The only downside to the hotel was the choice/quality of buffet food in the evenings and the lack of restaurant atmosphere. However, if only a few guests are booked for DBB I can understand how the hotel has to limit what it offers. There was always something we could find to eat but the food definitely wasnt 4*. On one night, from 7.50pm until just before it closed at 9pm, we were literally the only 2 people in the restaurant! Overall we had a lovely stay and would stay here again but only for bed & breakfast.
