Hotel Atlantica Golden Beach

Yet another great stay at the AGB who provided super service, good food and a wonderful relaxed stay. All of the staff were marvellous, the TUI team put on some superb shows and were very talented with each and every one of them being able to sing brilliantly. The resident musician, Richard (The Gambler) performed admirably on his own due to his singing partner Karah (Dolly) being taken ill and unable to perform. Since our last visit two years ago there have been a number of improvements made. However there are still a few things that could be improved upon. The TV channels in the bedrooms do not really have many "British" channels and have a poor picture quality at times, wifi was a bit hit and miss (struggled to get a signal in our bedroom) and soft drinks quality and choices were pretty poor. The only sugar free soft drink available was coke, no sugar free tonics for my gin so resorted to buying my own from the supermarket!. There was one other area that was more than a little bit of a nuisance, this was people smoking on their sun loungers. The loungers are really close together and some people just puffed away totally oblivious to the discomfort that they were causing to their neighbours. On more than one occasion I witnessed people packing up and moving or leaving due to being bothered by smoke. There are plenty of places that could be designated as smoking areas to then allow the sun loungers and surrounding area to be made non smoking. Nevertheless we will be back!

Just been to this hotel last week. We booked an inland swim up room Half Board for 7 Days. Arrived late due to an airplane problem, but staff were welcoming and everything went smoothly at check-in. When we got into the room it was great. Large room with a living room area with two Tvs, One from the bottom of the bed and other TV in the living room. When we looked outside to see the swim up room we were really disappointed, there were no sun loungers as the terrace was not big enough, but the view was terrible. It looked out on to a road and building work and a car park. Not worth the extra money. Do not book this type of room. It only gets the sun in the morning and shade the rest of the day. Also the room we had, where the mirror was on the wall next to the TV there were not electrical sockets. So you could not plug in your hairdryer and hair straighteners. All the sockets were on the other wall. Had to go to the supermarket to buy a mirror. The shower in the bathroom was extremely small. You did not have enough room to bend over to wash your hair without touching the sides of the shower with parts of your body. On to the food. Buffet style but it was the same choices every breakfast and the evening meal did not get that much better. Do not get me wrong the food was tasty but very little choice. We did go to the Al-a carte for one evening meal which was absolutely great, would recommend this. The biggest problem at this hotel is getting a sunbed around the pool. What a nightmare. If you wanted a pool sunbed you had to get up at around 7 am to get a bed then you had to sit on it until just after 8 am because if you walked away before then your items were taken off the beds and you had to collect them from reception. What a complete disaster. The entertainment team were brilliant. Louise, Eliza, Matt and Jamie, what a team. During the day all type of activities going on , and then in the evening they put on some great shows. We do not usually do the evening entertainment in the hotel but we did every night. We did have a good holiday, but we will not be returning, to many little things were wrong.
