We stayed at the Iberostar Selection Albufera Park for a week – my wife, our eight-year-old daughter, and I. Overall, our experience was nice, though the weather was not always on our side. **Location and Surroundings** The hotel's location is quite good. It is near a beautiful nature reserve and a well-conserved beach, which made for some lovely surroundings. The park nearby was also a pleasant addition to our stay. **Rooms** The rooms were nice and of a decent size – not too big, not too small. The bathrooms were also satisfactory. The showers were excellent, with consistently hot water and a nice rain shower. However, the room temperature was an issue, as it was a bit too hot all the time. **Dining** - **Terral and Mistral (Buffet Restaurants)**: The buffet restaurants were disappointing. The food was often cold and repetitive, and the restaurants were quite full, making the dining experience less enjoyable. - **Kyknos (Greek Restaurant)**: This was the standout restaurant. We were able to sit inside away from the loud bar area. The food was extraordinary, and the service was slow and paced, allowing for a pleasant dining experience. - **Nopal (Mexican Restaurant)**: The dining experience here was not great. We had to order all courses at once, leading to food piling up on our small table and getting cold. The noise level was high, and the margaritas were terrible. - **Martinete (Spanish Restaurant)**: The food was good but lacked some basic Spanish specialties. The service was extremely slow, with long waits between courses, which made it feel like we were forgotten. - **Tamarindos (Beach Grill & Buffet)**: Unfortunately, this restaurant was closed during our stay. - **Star Cafe**: The only place to get food between main meals, it was always crowded. The limited menu and long lines were a downside. - **Icedream (Ice Cream Parlour)**: The ice cream was nice, and the service was quick, making it a pleasant experience. **Children’s Activities** Our daughter had a good time with the children's activities. She enjoyed the company of the animators, particularly Mario, who was amazing and made her experience fun. **Entertainment** The evening entertainment at 10 PM was always fun but felt compulsory due to the noise level, which made it difficult to sleep at that time. However, it was still enjoyable. **Sports and Wellness Facilities** We used the spa and I went running outside. The spa was okay; I had a good massage, although my wife was less impressed with her foot treatment. Running outside was great, thanks to the beautiful reserve, which provided a lovely environment for my runs. **Service and Staff** The service and staff were exceptional. Everyone was genuinely friendly, authentic, and willing to help. Their cordiality and professionalism were highlights of our stay. **Wi-Fi** The Wi-Fi was really good, and we always had reliable internet access. **Improvements** One area that could use improvement is the food.
