Granada Luxury Beach-Ultra All Inclusive

Long story short: I had a great time at this resort. I booked a Swarovski Suite and I got room 2000. At reception I was greeted by a Hassan I believe who is fluent in English. The resort is quite big but well organised and you can find all the facilities quite fast. The food was great and quite diverse, the drinks were decent. The staff of the hotel is really friendly with everyone and not only with certain nationalities as I read in some reviews prior to my visit. The VIP Pavilions are really nice and the staff there is, again, really friendly and helpful. Would've been nice to know the depth of the water next to each pavilion. All in all a very good experience.

Very sad to be home! Food: the food was great, huge variety and I’m usually very wary about all inclusive because of the buffets but I didn’t once get sick and enjoyed trying all the different types of cuisine on offer. Our last night was the Turkish night with a group of men playing some instruments and lots of lovey food! Couldn’t fault it. Room: we were given a ground floor room on the lobby floor. The only noise was the fire exit door being slammed many times early hours of the morning. I didn’t complain as I think it was the maids and if I wanted one not close to the fire exit, I could’ve paid more or ask to move but It didn’t bother us too much. Staff: I have to give huge credit to the entertainment team! Absolutely amazing, full of fun and worked so hard. They have one day off a week and seemed they worked from morning until late night and always had a smile on their face. They seemed to speak many languages and their English was very good. Always included everyone and very competitive with games! The reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was I didn’t find many staff who understood English so having a language barrier was a little difficult when wanting something simple like toilet paper. Beach: the beach was lovely although we just had a little look around but didn’t sunbathe there. Seemed very clean and spacious and there’s an outside food area where you can get ice cream, burgers, pizza and fruit amongst other food and drinks. Other guests: some of the other guests can be very rude. One lady wouldn’t let us use the empty sunbeds next to her, no towels down but she was shouting something in German and waving her hands like telling us to go away. Lots of Russian and Eastern European guests, not many English but my partner got involved with the activities and made some friends with other nationalities which was really nice. Maids: they work so hard; room was so lovely and clean, toilet roll topped up every day and clean towels. Also minibar restocked every day. You can also get the bus to Alanya which is about 40 mins away where there are more shops that sell the ‘designer’ items! Haha! You get on the bus at the back, pay when you get off at the front and it was 2 euros each single journey. Can get a little bit warm so take a fan! Drinks: as is usual on holidays abroad, they put a lot of alcohol in your drinks so if you’re not keen on your drink tasting only of alcohol, ask them to just put a little bit, I think staff assume the English love a drink haha! Free water bottles whenever you need them in fridges around the hotel and pool areas. On site shop: there’s a shop near the restaurant on floor -1 where they sell little gifts, some snacks and drinks. Not badly priced either if you just fancy some crisps. Spa: you get given towel cards when you arrive and you can exchange them for towels in the spa on floor -2, when you leave you can take them back and get your cards back to give to reception wh
