Be Live Experience Playa la Arena

We arrived for a family holiday with adult children and partner to celebrate a birthday, on arrival which was late we were told there was a small buffet for us in the dining room which was ok , for myself personally I was a little disappointed on choices but it was edible, our room had a sea and mountain view which was nice but I would have preferred a pool view as requested which my daughter and partner got as it was for 2 people not 3 as we had another daughter share with us, overall a lovely holiday, a few niggles like flies everywhere which really put us off as they were on the food at every meal, on our last day we had an evening flight so we’re not leaving until 5 hours after checkout and of wanted to spend as much time around the pool which we did but when I called early in the morning was told there was no curtesy room or no option of holding on to our room for a small charge as they were fully booked so the only option was to use the gym which I was told had fresh towels and toiletries to use but no hair dryers although not ideal that’s what we did, but once in the showers there were no clean towels and no toiletries so after a full afternoon with sun cream and pool water all over us I was not pleased to travel feeling unclean, I struggle to believe a hotel as large as it is does not have a curtesy room or that we could not hold onto at least 1 of our rooms a little longer so unfortunately not a pleasant end to our holiday, would I go back, maybe .

Absolutely loved Playa De La Arena would definately recommend this place staff fab Animation team fantastic with fantastic shows Mario, David, Victoria, Raphaela, Binta were amazing and extremely talented & pool area great. Food great with a great variety and different each night

First impressions on arrival are very good, friendly reception staff. Arriving late the restaurant was still open so we were able to get a meal. Room was very clean and excellent sea view. Maid service was very good, and room was cleaned to a high standard every day. Breakfast and lunch were good, but the evening choice seemed to lack variety and was dissappointing most days, had to eat out in the end to have some different options for our 13 year old. Pools were good with no issues getting beds, great system with beds not being available till 08:30 worked really well wish other hotels would do the same. I didnt like the way the quieter pool was policed. lt felt like you couldnt have fun, no games of any sort or even relaxing on the center island was not allowed by the overzealous life guard. Dont even think of going near the adults only pool edge unless you,ve paid for it. The hotel did seem more geared to French guests but this wasnt an issue for us. Didnt use the evening entertainment. Nice holiday but would not return.
