Be Live Experience Playa la Arena

We visited Be Live for the first time this past week and I can honestly say it was fabulous! The hotel was so clean, staff always cleaning inside and outside, the pools and the sun beds. The food was Delicious and was different everyday, with a fresh meat grilling section with fish, pork, beef and chicken. Filled cheese and biscuits section with all the trimmings, fresh salad bar and large variety of fruit. They also had a chocolate fountain on too! You also get a free meal in the restaurant for stays 7 nights or more and the food was incredible from taste to presentation. Staff polite and helpful, along with the photographer staff! We had a photo session done with them and they was amazing ! Was so hard to choose between them all. You can tell the hotel is looked after, the reception was stunning with lots of plants hanging down and Shiny floors along with glass elevators. Evening entertainment was awesome, with magic shows, Circus type acts, dancing and singing. The shops are a 2 minute walk away along with the beach which was also lovely. Would defiantly recommend this hotel, and will be returning! Thank you Be live for a fab holiday:)

The hotel is about a 40 minute drive from the airport in the south. This hotel is a good budget all inclusive option very close to the beach. The rooms are super clean. This hotel is more like a 3 star hotel in my opinion. Loads of options to choose from in the restaurant but most of the food is luke warm. The food is very average. Mostly international options like pizza, burgers, roasts, fried fish etc. Go early as the staff start cleaning while the eating session is still in progress. The rooms are as per the pictures. Super clean and very nice views(either mountain/ocean or overlooking the pool area). The hotel is a short walk to the beach and local restaurants if you want to go out of the hotel. There are A LOT of additional charges on top of the all inclusive options: - parking is 5 euros per day extra - robes are 3 euros per person per day - the room safe is an additional 3 euros per day - international beer and liquor is an additional 15 euros per person per day - certain pools ( the nice ones from the photos) are adults only. Which means an additional 25 euros per person extra. The local alcohol is very basic. The cocktails menu is also very basic. 4 alcohol and 2 non alcoholic on the menu. The vending machine coffee is included in the all inclusive package, but the barista coffee is excluded. There is a well equipped gym on site with spinning bikes, free weights, TRXs etc. This is a good family hotel. Don’t expect a fancy 4 star hotel. One of the best spots on the island for spectacular sunsets!!!!

Spent last week at the be live resort/hotel in playa la arena and it was safe to say that I have never seen such beautiful weather around November time! Daily highs of 25 degrees and never below 18! As for the hotel, it was extremely clean and had a cleaner come and clean the room each morning- although the cleaning was kept to a minimum as she only really cleaned the floor. In regards to the food- unfortunately it wasn’t that great and this definitely brought me from a solid 4 star rating to a 3 star rating. The choice of foods was adequate (I like a place with a variety of choice and good quality food) I found them missing lots of items I would expect to of seen for example, some nights/days I wouldn’t be able to find any chicken or dishes with chicken in- hence I thought it lacked the full amount of variety The hotel had a beautifully well kept gym with astounding views- if you are a gym freak this may be for you! The local beach was simply a 2 minute walk and although was beautiful and well kept, the water tend to have very strong currents so majority of the time you weren’t able to swim further than a couple metres in and were left having to make do with playing in the sand which wasn’t too great. The view i had from my room was impeccable as it showcases both swimming pools and the beach and the local area- I believe you had to pay a bit extra when booking for a sea view room- which is definitely worth the extra bit I’m conclusion I feel the place was nice and quiet- the surrounding local area was nice, simple and clean- the hotel was immaculately clean- the staff were all English speaking so no language barrier and the only real let down for me was the food- if you are not much of a goody however I wouldn’t let this get to you as the rest of your trip should be great!
