Hotel Floresta

We are here at the moment in room 1510 over the road by the smaller pool for our second visit to this wonderful hotel to celebrate my 60th birthday on Monday. Ignore all the bad reviews about the food and make your own minds up.I struggle with food as I really don't like anything lol but even for me there is plenty of variety and choice so I more than happy with all the meals provided. The location is perfect just over the road from a beautiful beach. On our first evening on Thursday we had a lovely walk into Puerto Del Carmen which was about an hour away but there are plenty of Shops and bars on the way to pass the time On Friday evening we had a nice leisurely walk to the Airport which was about half hour away along the beach front. The noise from the planes landing and taking off was deafening but my lad really enjoyed it. The rooms are spotless and the cleaners go out of their way to answer any questions. All in all we adore coming to this hotel, now all that is left is to go out and find a birthday cake for my 60th on Monday

The hotel is amazingly clean, it is cleaned every day. Staff are very helpful. The cleaners let them selves in, there is nothing to let the cleaners know if that you don’t require it that day. The hotel is in 2 parts, the main side and a quiet side( the quiet side you can hear other hotels having fun) there is a pool which isn’t heated to this side and nothing else. The main side has a large pool (salt water) which is supposed to be heated and 1 bar, if your all inclusive (which we were) the quiet side doesn’t really work,(we did ask to be moved but couldn’t) if you want a drink it’s a trek it would suit if self catering though the spar was closer than the bar. We had a 2 bed ground floor apartment it was big enough for us but with only having 1 sofa I could see it not being enough for some family’s. There is a walk way to other hotels between the main and quiet side with gates, the code to these gates are given to you on arrival, good for saftey but not very good if you want to take drinks to your apartment and have your hands full. They get pad locked at around 7pm every night so you have to walk around the outside of the complex in the evening, to get to the restaurant and bar,they get unlocked at 7 am, so no alarms needed by the delivery drivers unlocking these. Food and drink was basic and very repetitive and salty. There was no entertainment either while we were there. It’s a good 40 min walk into PDC where there is loads going on. Over all good for b&b or self catering, would stay again but definitely not all inclusive.
