Hesperia Playa Dorada  

good location, 500 meters from the village of Playa Blanca, with many shops and restaurants. Also a very beautiful promenade along the sea. Also 500 meters from the bus station to go anywhere on the island if you don't hire a car.

If you want a sea view, ask the 3rd floor, otherwise you will be bothered by the trees.

The best breakfasts I have ever had.

The big queues for breakfast every morning.

staff , swimming pool, entertainment.

the location of the hotel which also fronts a lovely beach with easy access

The location is perfect and the pool area is very good .

We were very disappointed overall with our stay at the Hotel, we specifically booked this hotel because of its location, and we paid an additonal charge for a room with a Sea view. However upon our arrival , when we opened the doors to the balcony, the view was completely blocked by a big tree right in front of the windows, there was no sea view,(this was room number 0123, for future reference). We asked to be moved to a 'room with a Sea view'. But there were no rooms available for two days. The reception staff were quite helpful in trying to resolve the situation, but we were disappointed in having to wait for two days , as we were only there for a week. We went to use the indoor pool and we were quite surprised that there was a daily charge to use the pool which we understood was part of the Hotel facillities and would be included in the cost. There was also a charge for changing the towels. On the first day at breakfast, at the pancake counter we observed a Cockroach crawling up one of the sauce bottles. Needless to say this had a big effect on our choice of breakfast, we found that the food was of a poor standard, with the exception of the fresh daily bread,and fruit , which was our staple diet for the whole week.

Easy and free for parking. Free wifi everywhere in hotel. Good swimming pool.

Not give me see view room the first day as I booked. Very slow reception. Food is normal.

Lovely setting, friendly staff, very eager to please. Lovely breakfast - wide range of food to suit most tastes.

This applies to most hotels - the coffee was poor - from a machine - why not have freash coffee?

Excellent location and value for money.

Stayed there twice before. Superb location. Hotel in very good structural condition. Resteraunt staff very helful/friendly.

Reception very slow - require more staff on duty. Food only passable - good selection if you like cold food but some hot items of poor quality

Location

Shabby rooms and sunbeds / furniture in public areas. Hotel badly needs updating, refurb.

What a great hotel for the money. A good location between the Marina Rubicon and the town. Rooms very adequate for an older style 4* hotel. Breakfast was excellent, everything you could think of. Pool area clean and tidy.

The only critisism I have about this hotel, like most others in Spain is that I don't understand why you have to pay to use facilities already in the room, eg, the safe and tv. If I had paid brochure price for the hotel, I would have been unhappy to have to pay extra to use all the facilities which should be included.

Perfect location to enjoy promanade walk to either lighthouse or papagaya beach (well paved and scenic walk). Crowd at Playa Blanca and hesperia hotel is more for mature aged people - so it's quite peaceful. Buffet breakfast plentiful - though lots of processed food an scrambled eggs worst ever. Large free parking lot, shared with Yaiza Princess hotel. Large supermarket nearby. Hotel complex large and good for disabled people. Toilet and shwer in room were separated rooms.

Gym equipment quite poor, outdoor pools are aa lil cold in Dec, indoor pool/gyms/sauna costs about 5 euro pp/visit. Lots of oldies here. Few cats roaming around - harmless though. Nigtly entertainment quite amatuerish, but kids would enjyoy it. TV channels in english not extensive.

Huge hotel, close to the sea. The breakfast was excellent. It's a bit 'tired', made for mass tourism, but it was clean, lovely surroundings. The front desk is very professional. We stayed only for one night. The south of the island (Playa Blanca) is a bit bland, so we were happy to spend the rest of our holiday in the north.
