Golden Donaire Beach

Excellent stay at GDB Fun for all the family daily Food was excellent and drinks at a reasonable price. Spacious room c/w with fridge and tv Excellent shower and a decent balcony Beach on your door step excellent bonus Amazing staff to help make your stay special Very quiet hotel and no booze related altercations. The building works outside the hotel are only an issue if you want it to be. What did surprise me that some fellow guests don't tidy up while leaving the poolside.Plenty bins to dispose your rubbish Happy holidays

This hotel lets too many people in that does not stay at this hotel for night entertainment. We couldn’t get a table for entertainment any night due to freeloaders. They need someone on the door at night to stop their paying customers from standing up. Never right

Stayed at this hotel in May with 2 friends. Would love to go back again next year. Right on the beach which was fantastic. Unfortunately not too much around to walk to. Buffet was excellent, lots of choices. All the staff were really nice and helpful. Nice and clean throughout. Beds were super comfortable. Nice powerful shower. Rooms could do with a bit better soundproofing though as not always quiet. Main entertainment started at 10 which could have done with starting earlier as pretty much as soon as that finished you got chucked out of the bar area. Some of the outside acts that were brought in were really good. It seemed like a lot of the guests had been there before which is a sign of a good hotel!

Not enough storage for clothes, food excellent, half board so no drinks apart from water for dinner ☹️ bed super comfy, beach is amazing, noisy beach cleaning with reversing beepers starts from about 6.30 am that is at front of hotel , apart from that is great so far 😀

We've been coming here for many years and it just gets better and better. The new renovated restaurant looks amazing and very modern, just wish the labels on the deserts were a little better as the brownies didn't state they had nuts in. Also vanilla ice cream in a tub would be a nice option rather than just from the machine. The new animation team are brilliant, but it was lovely to see familiar faces in brox and Maria. They work so hard all day and are a credit to the hotel. The bar staff are also brilliant, Nathan esp his cocktails are the best. I was sad to see that some familiar faces weren't there this year but people move on. The rooms are spacious and kept so clean, the cleaners also work so hard all day to keep the hotel spotless. The pool area yes is a little smaller than most hotels in the area but it does the job and being right next to the beach is a huge bonus. We love the pool area, just what we need. Yes there is road works just outside the hotel but this isn't effecting anyone's holiday at all. You can still get to the beach, the shops (5 mins longer) and the buses absolutely fine and hardly any noise at all. Its gonna look amazing when it's finished and make la pineda a lot safer for family's esp children. If you want a quiet room don't ask to look over the pool area as that's where it is on a night, but it does stop between 11 and 11.30pm so not too late. We will be back as we love the place.

We stayed at Hotel Donaire in La Pineda as an extended family group of 13, ranging in age from 3 to 79, and had a truly fantastic experience. The hotel catered brilliantly for all ages, and we left with nothing but praise for the whole team. We went half-board and were genuinely impressed with the food. All meals were buffet-style, with a wide and varied selection at every sitting – there was something for everyone. From meats and roasted vegetables to fresh salads, cheeses, pizzas, pasta, and fish dishes. Traditional Spanish options such as paella were served daily, which we really enjoyed. While the food was served at the correct temperature, there was also a microwave available for anyone who preferred their food extra hot. The desserts were delicious, and one small suggestion would be to offer tea or coffee alongside dessert, which should be a lovely way to round off the evening meal. Breakfast was generous, with pancakes, omelettes, churros, fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, yoghurts, juices, and a lovely range of breads. A selection of teas and coffees was available. There is a kids’ club running throughout the day, and plenty of entertainment for adults around the pool area if you want to partake. Some of the evening entertainment for children was on quite late, which may not suit everyone, but there was certainly no shortage of things to do. You can also rent bikes directly from the hotel, which is a great way to explore the local area. The staff are fantastic — friendly, welcoming, and incredibly hard working across all areas, especially in the dining room and entertainment team. The location is perfect – right on the beach in La Pineda. While the promenade was undergoing some work during our stay, it didn’t affect our enjoyment. Access to the beach was still easy, and although we were a little concerned about potential noise from the works, it honestly wasn’t an issue at all. One very thoughtful touch: if you’ve checked out but have a later flight, the staff will allow you to use a designated room to shower and freshen up before you leave. This was really appreciated. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with particularly spacious balconies – great for storing luggage or sitting out. The balconies on the top floor (8th) can get quite windy, so just bear that in mind if you’re someone who likes to spend time out there. The air conditioning in some rooms was a little tricky to operate. Overall, this is a fabulous hotel that offers excellent value for money. We would highly recommend it to families or groups looking for a friendly, well-located place to stay with great food, welcoming staff, and the beach on your doorstep.
