Hotel Costa Caleta

Went here with mixed emotions after reading reviews. What can I say? Lovely hotel. Spotless, friendly attentive staff. Read about food. I'm quite a fussy eater, but although a wee bit repetitive, food was great. Pork , chicken, squid etc. Always something for eating and decent choice. It's a 3 star hotel, which is at least the rating it deserves. Dont be put off by some miserable reviews from folk who pay 3cstar prices but want a platinum service Great wee holiday.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks for Christmas and New Year with our 4 year old. Other family members were also staying at hotel and arrived the day before. I don’t normally leave reviews but after hearing some of the conversations during our stay and seeing some of the posts on Tripadvisor I wanted to share our story. We had an absolute fantastic two week stay, throughly enjoyed every day and would recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of staying in Calete de Fuste area. Central location within close proximity to beach, bars, supermarkets and restaurants. I contacted the hotel before we arrived, as we wanted rooms close together. I had prompt response from staff confirming that our preferences had been noted. From arrival we were greeted by friendly reception staff who were very accommodating of my previous request and provided us with adjacent rooms. A welcome Sangria and (as we had arrived after buffet had closed) we were given a ticket to access some food which was unexpected bonus. We also paid 10 euro deposit for TV remote which was refunded on check-out. Our room was on the third floor with pool view with air conditioning. We had 2 twin beds together and sofa bed. Good size room with balcony. The beds were comfortable and good sleep every night. The rooms were cleaned every day (except Thursday’s) to a high standard. This cleanliness of hotel should be commended, even the toilet around the pool were spotless with good quality toilet roll. The staff work tirelessly, the manager is always around and the place runs like clockwork, which must be a difficult task trying to manage the needs and preferences of all inclusive hotel! Similar to other reviews, we enjoyed the GOA bar most evenings. Yes, you have to pay for these drinks but the talents and service from Tony, barman make this truly worth it and make for some great memories. The Animation Team were amazing, Dominique and Mary were brilliant with the kids, keeping them amused during the day! Martyn kept the adults entertained with various activities including shooting, pin-ball and a very addictive ‘bar game’! Marco on the entertainment at night ensured the music kept the atmosphere alive. Drinks were self-serve beer, wine, soft drinks and water. Bring some plastic bigger glasses with you if you prefer bigger glasses. Food was plentiful and of a decent standard! Breakfast, lunch, dinners and snacks ensured that we never went hungry and there was always full plates! Christmas and New Years Day’s were made very Special with menu, table settings, wine served to table. Few minor points that could make things more comfortable: *fridge in room *tea/coffee facilities in room *more evening entertainment However, this does not de-tract from the absolute fantastic time we had at this hotel! Please pass on our appreciation to all your team at the Costa Caleta! Many thanks for making our holiday a truly magical and memorable Christmas and New Year!

On arrival a warm greeting from the reception staff who were friendly and very pleasant arranging for a greeting drink which was very much appreciated. The Hotel room was a reasonable size and was very clean. We have visited this hotel previously and had such a wonderful experience that we wanted to come back. Although all the staff were lovely and the hotel was lovely we were this time a little disappointed at the quality of the food last time the food was excellent, this time the food was not as good, the vegetables all appeared raw, the meat although repetitive was always cooked well and was tender. It was a little disappointing that a couple of days the snack bar didn't open and when it did on occasion there wasn't much option. The bar staff were really pleasant and the drinks are not too bad have definitely had worse in an all inclusive hotel. The highlight of my holiday though was Goa Bar - we went every night for our nightcap drink with Antonio a very creative guy who can work wonders - I cant wait to come back again
