DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels in Islantilla

The facilities and location are good, the staff that works at the hotel, the waiters/waitresses as well as the cooks/waitresses are very friendly and do a great job. The reception staff is not as friendly as I think they should be for the position they hold and the cleaning staff is willing and probably due to an excess of workload, but they do not clean the rooms daily with a minimum, for example, the ashtray on the terrace that was made of glass broke and we spent our entire stay (more than a week) finding glass on the floor. The bench in the room that was used as a storage room always had sand from the beach on it, the side table where we put our glasses, they barely cleaned it, they left a brush in the bathroom and it was there for two days, etc…

We went after seeing a Black Friday offer of 117 euros in a deluxe room including breakfast and dinner. We already us ether Spa as we live locally and chose a night in the hotel as a break from cooking and to use the Spa. I loved the sauna and ice pool and my wife the infrared pod etc. The room was nice with a very comfortable bed and a nice Tera e to sit out on and enjoy the winter sunshine. The food was the problem though. We where told dinner was included however when we got there we where not in the dining room which is just to the side of the reception which we looked at while making the reservation and looking forward to sitting in there and being served a meal. Instead it was a self service buffet. The tiniest little dried por chops and some half chicken wings with rice or some cod (basque style) which my wife tried. It was very acidic and tasted like fried tomatoes (tomate frito) straight out of tin. There was some pre cooked spaghetti delightfully drying away under the heat lamps and again that red tomato sauce, some frozen chips and cheap croquettes brought miserably to life with fried only to sit there going dry. At no point in making the booking did any mention this type of food. We eat in the local village a menu of the day including wine or beer for 11 euros which is infinitely bette than the shockingly poor food they served. Breakfast was actually ok with fruit and the usual fried eggs and bacon, bread and baby croissants. Needless to say we went to pavarotties a local Italian restaurant for dinner as did another party of four who took one look at the buffet and didn’t even try it. Staff whee great in the hotel and friendly enough but the food !! Nos hemos sentado un poco engañado !!

Most enjoyable all round stay. Arrival and check in was very easy. We found they had left plated food and water in our room (380) even though we arrived at 1 am. The room was very spacious with plenty of storage and hanging space also contained a kitchenette with sink (very useful) fridge, tea making facilities and utensils. Good bathroom with shower over bath.An adequate balcony with drying rail over looking the garden and pool area with distant view of the sea. We had emailed ahead and requested a quiet room on a high floor which is exactly what we had. We were all inclusive with TUI . All meals were buffet and we found plenty of choice, huge variety, and the food and drinks were very good. There were two areas for outside eating which we enjoyed. The staff worked very hard to keep the dining areas clean and tidy and cleared the tables quickly and efficiently. All areas, bars, pool, snack bar were kept very clean and no food at the pool was enforced which was good to see. There were plenty of sun beds and guests were encouraged not to leave them reserved for long unattended periods of time. There were plenty of peaceful and comfortable little areas tucked away for drinks from the bar or relaxing. The bars were well staffed and you had the option of paying extra for cocktails, brands etc. Most guests were Spanish, French and Portuguese families and the entertainment was mainly catered towards them. The hotel is in a lovely position just across the promenade from a lovely beach that stretches for approx 15 miles. The local buses stopped a ten minute walk away and were very cheap. Staff are extremely helpful and most speak excellent English. Nothing is too much trouble . So a very big thank you to all the staff and although we cannot remember all the names the ones we remember are, at the bar Millan and Manuela, at reception Laura &Alba, in the dining area Oscar Vaz, Sonia, Bouch, and the very cheerful omelette Chef Monika. There was a safe in the room which you payed a deposit for which was returned , also pool towels were available and could be exchanged every three days again with a returnable deposit . We really enjoyed this holiday and intend to visit again in the near future.

I visited this place for 10 nights and was very disappointed. Do not go here if you have no kids or want peace. Good things: Staff are fantastic. Friendly hard working and even though most had no English we managed to communicate. All inclusive drinks good. Included bottles of wine, pints of beer and a glass of champagne. Good choice for lunch and breakfast but only had dinner there one time as we couldn’t hear ourselves speak, Breakfast has freshly squeezed Orange juice which was fab Beds comfortable Get beach towels with a €10 deposit Near beach Bad things This is a massive complex. Even a staff member described it as a zoo The buffet holds over 1300 people and has three settings for each meal Thousands of people constantly on the move Queues for bar queues for buffet queues for lifts queues to walk up and down the stairs Noise noise and more noise “entertainment” included two 3 foot speakers blaring out dreadful music with dreadful “entertainment” staff screaming out announcements over a microphone €12 a night for parking. Outrageous cost. No free parking on streets it’s all meters so they have a captive audience €3 a night for safe Not much choice of restaurants as most restaurants are part of all inclusive complexes
