Hotels Near Gandilandia Parque de Atracciones in Grau I Platja

My main issue with this hotel is that it gives an entirely false image of itself on hotel booking sites. We picked it based on the pictures of its pool area and grounds. The images give the impression that it's a larger and a more chic hotel than it actually is. It's a no frills hotel, and that's fine if that's what you know you're getting. And it was not the cheapest option either. The location is good, just three streets from the beach, and it was clean but the breakfast is basic and not very appealing. Not worth booking in for breakfast. It says that it has a gym, it does not. It claims to have poolside parasols, well at one end of the site it does but actually by the sun loungers it's bare and exposed and nothing to help shade you - not great when it's hitting 40. It also claims to have a garden - again it does not - it has a couple of planters with a couple of palm trees. The room we had was basic but fairly clean. The bathroom lacks shelving and towel hooks, so not very practical for a family - there's little space to hang up wet swim stuff or put your toiletries. Also, be aware that if you have small children there is not a separate pool - there is a shallow section at the end of the main pool and it's not very large so again not the most practical space and it gets very busy. Twice I raised the difference from the booking site information and the reality with the reception - but all I got was first, someone being rude and the second time someone just looking embarrassed! If you are looking for a basic space to just sleep in while you explore Gandia, and you get it at a reasonable price, then fine. However, if you want a hotel you can hang out in then I would avoid it.

Great hotel, good food, good service, excellent location and amazing beach!! For sure we will go back next year. The hotel in itself is great. We booked a suite with garden and it was perfect. Pool is really nice, always have sunbeds available, not very crowded. They provide you with towels. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and had full board. We were concerned about the food but it was perfect. Never got bored nor had the need to go eat outside of the hotel to get away. A lot of variety and always something to eat. The service at the restaurant was very good too. The best part is the beach, definitely amazing. The kids club is great and the animators take very good care of the kids. The bellboys are also VERY VERY NICE, always smiling and asking if you need something. If they were to be paid by number of smiles they would be millonaires! There is one thing that was a big disappointment. We went to the spa as we could leave the kid at the kids club for an hour and make the most. However, they do not have cabins for couples! In the hundreds of hotels I have travelled to across the globe it is the first time a hotel of this level does not have cabins for couples. It is a pity as due to that we did not use the message service of the spa. The location is very calm with nothing nearby, so it is great to relax but boring if you want loads of life outside of the hotel. We will go back next summer!!

This is not what I expect from a 4-star hotel. Why would I recommend the Cullera Holiday? Because Cullera only has 2 half decent hotels and this is one of them. - The finish is poor. - There are no toiletries like comb, cotton buds, hair conditioner, etc. -The fridge switches off when you take your key card and go out; hopeless! - The pillows are foam and there is only 1 additional pillow in the room. - There are no blankets. - My room was cancelled at Midday on my day of arrival as they had over-booked even though I had already done an online checkin a few days earlier. But I then received a call at 3pm advising a room had become available. - Soundproofing between rooms is non-existent. - There were no in-room coffee facilities and all that was provided was 1 carton of water. I’m actually struggling to find something positive to say but can’t. I didn’t use any of the facilities like pool or restaurant. Would I return? If I had to. As I said, Cullera only has 2 half-decent hotels.
