Valle Mar Hotel

We stayed three weeks at this hotel and loved it. We had a lovely room with side sea view that had a 4 star bathroom all cleaned every day to a high standard. We used the restaurant for evening meals for two weeks and we're not disappointed with a great variety of food on offer every day. Wine prices were very reasonable and you can hold over your bottle to the next evening if not finished. Service was polite friendly and efficient with a professional restaurant Manager. So thanks to all the Staff from front desk to room cleaning for an enjoyable stay. See you next year.

A lovely hotel in an unbeatable location. We had a de luxe sea view room (406) which had a fantastic view over the Lido. The room was not enormous but more than adequate, with a nice balcony with two chairs and a table. The bathroom was small with a basin, bidet, loo and walk in shower. The rainfall shower was superb – powerful and hot. The air con was great. You have to turn it up to 30 then back down to 10 (or the required temperature) to get it to kick in. We had two small issues with the room – the shower tray was blocked and the air con unit dripped. As soon as these issues were reported to reception they were fixed immediately. All the female receptionists were great – efficient and friendly. Indeed all the staff we encountered were very good, especially the lovely lady in the rooftop bar. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast was very good – a large choice of hot and cold items. We had lunch two or three times in the rooftop bar which serves food from 12ish to about 7pm. It is a fantastic place to eat or drink with panoramic views. It is a pity the bar (the only one in the hotel) closes at 8pm. The beautiful infinity pool is also on the rooftop, and there are additional sun loungers and a jacuzzi on the first floor, though no bar. Towels are provided on the roof top – you collect a ticket from reception and exchange it for a towel on the roof. The beds were very comfortable, though if you are in a room on the front you will get noise from the music in the two bars close to the hotel until about 11.30. The hotel is little used by British tourists – during our stay we were one of two British couples staying there, with the rest being German. Be aware that not all staff speak fluent English – trying to order poached eggs involved an awful lot of miming! Best to have a Google translator on stand by! During our stay we went into some of the other hotels, but much preferred the Vallemar. I would recommend highly.

Too hot in the room at night. Not possible to get cool air from the centrally managed AC. In addition: Unpleasant smell from the bathroom. And: Loud and rather boring music in the afternoon and evening from at least two places. On the positive side: Perfect location and nice staff.
