1. Globales Costa Tropical

Beds very comfortable, rooms spacious, clean with everything you need, kettle and fridge. Friendly, helpful staff, food was nice, fresh fish, Mexican, stews, chicken, pork, beef, vegetable lasagna, salads, pasta and chips, spuds, there was something for everyone to eat, hotel spotless, shop and gift shop well stocked. €13 taxie from the airport each way.

ROOM Stayed in a recently refurbished room which I’ve posted pictures of mid-trip. Absolutely excellent, clean and well decorated. Only thing that could be improved would be a mirror in the bedroom area. FOOD Food choices are more limited than other higher rated hotels, however the food you get is fantastic. Always find something to eat, even for fussy eaters. I don’t recall ever needing to blow on food due to it being too hot from a buffet, but I did do that here! DRINKS We are seasoned professionals and like to take advantage of all inclusive alcohol offerings. We bought a plastic pint glass and a plastic wine glass with us which bar staff filled up without question. There is a “2 drink” limit, but that’s fairly standard and if you need to complain about that then you should have a word with yourself. ENTERTAINMENT The Animación team are delightful, they clearly work hard to make sure people are having a good time but there is also no pressure to join in. They always have time for a chat. Karaoke is great and the bar area at night really has a pub vibe which gave the hotel some character. During the day there is music playing round the pool which added to the atmosphere. SUMMARY I’ve stayed in 5* hotels and travelled all over the world. Do not pay attention to bad reviews , this hotel is unbelievably good value and delivers more than I expected for this price range and level. The onsite shop is really handy and not even expensive. I would return to this hotel without a doubt.
