Hotel Suites Albayzin Del Mar

SPECTACULAR. The details, sculptures, especially the thousands of mirrors, hallways, flourishes, general decorations, interior and exterior lighting. It takes us into a landscape of unparalleled vegetation, the patios, the cozy pool, with its humble waterfall, make the place a place of relaxation and also of friendship. The dining room buffet with super comfortable chairs, and its extremely helpful employees, make it a place that many restaurants would like. Just the food is so delicious and not repetitive that it already has a "I take my hat off" The rooms are super spacious and worth visiting. Very large living room with dining table and large kitchen with everything you need for a perfect stay. The cleaning service is also daily and reception, we do not leave it behind, also worthy of a hat. All its employees hat off. It also has a mini club for children and a snack bar at the foot of the pool. The restaurant inside is beautiful, I would only make one suggestion, and that is a grand piano in the centre and a swimming pool in the surrounding area, with this it would be one of the best I have visited. It is worth going just for a day to enjoy it.

We had the opportunity to eat yesterday at the restaurant located near the hotel pool, and we couldn't have been more delighted. The food was delicious and the presentation was unbeatable. The treatment by the waiter couldn't have been more wonderful; his manners, education and kindness, it's been a long time since I met someone like that, even my 8-year-old son was able to notice. He made us feel at home. We will repeat without a doubt.

Seeing that the hotel cost around 2000€ for 4 people, I thought the hotel would be very luxurious, but it felt more like an old hotel whose best days had passed. The decor was, for some strange reason, full of broken mirrors (warning to the superstitious), and the interior needed updating in many parts. If you have the opportunity to choose a room, never choose the ones with a view of the street and/or on the top floor, because they are the worst. (Unfortunately, my room faced the street and was on the top floor.) It was deadly hot in the room, and to top it off, the air conditioning, instead of blowing fresh air, blew out foul air. We reported this to reception twice, but to no avail. The food was mediocre. Although there were some things that were good, and I liked the dynamics of the all-you-can-eat buffet, the low quality of most of the products dashed my hopes. Next point: Distances. The website I looked at said that the hotel was "on the beach front" but it was almost a 20 minute walk away. Speaking of false promises, it also said "shows in the gardens", but the liveliest part of the gardens (actually the most beautiful part of the hotel) was a tacky children's disco. The only thing that saves the hotel is the pool, which was fabulous, and was the only thing in the hotel that could deserve 4 stars. In short, don't be fooled by first appearances, because in this case, they are often deceptive.

Two hours to check in and they still haven't given us the room, it's three in the afternoon and we're without a room and we can't change rooms because of the heat wave, my daughter is seven years old and she has to be at reception wasting the day, but at twelve they call you on the phone to leave the room and all this for the modest price of 570 euros for the weekend. You pay for what you think is luxury and it's lamentable.
