Not a very good start when we arrived at the hotel. Queued up with other arriving guests with bags and luggage in tow. Got to the check in desk and the receptionist asked if we flew EasyJet which we had, gave us a key and a card with check out information for the next day. Said they hadn’t been paid and need to send boarding passes to their email address. Tried to explain we were booked for over a week but she was very abrupt and uncooperative and we went to this room which was terrible and definitely not the room we had booked. Met the general manager by coincidence and explained the situation but he was as confused as us. Went out for the afternoon and came back and spoke to the reception manager who explained she had mistaken us for people who work at the airport - clearly. Didn’t check names on ID to the booking system but we were given the room we had booked that evening. Reception manager was furthermore very helpful. That aside, car parking was a challenge on the first day. We asked about the car park but receptionist wasn’t helpful and as a result we failed to prebook and had to park the car a 10 minute walk away. Breakfast always busy, never had bacon and sausage at the same time and sausages are mini hot dogs. Bread rolls stale after a few mornings. Good choice of fruit, yoghurt, cereal and pastries. Breakfast staff friendly. We enjoyed drinks by the pool bar some evenings. Rooms are in need of maintenance and could do with updating.

Pros: the lobby, the entertaining evening, the breakfast and all staff was very friendly and helpful
Cons: in doors swimming pool and sauna were only open by 8,00 pm but in a winter we are all busy with sightseeing , i wish the pool was open by 22.30-23.00
very good experience regarding the lobby- very spacious and renovated, the evening music and other programs entertaining were lovely , the breakfast was very fresh and substantial, all staff was very professional, friendly and helpful the outdoor pool had a nice garden and a nice view, the bathrooms were big and renovated the smalest rooms had a nice ocean view but no balcony which was the only one we were missing,

Alerte sécurité à l' Estrelicia Dorisol

Très mauvaise expérience qui aurait pu mal se terminer : mon amie s'est brûlée la main ( heureusement il s agit d'une petite brûlure )en voulant se sécher les cheveux avec le sèche cheveux de l'hôtel installé dans la chambre. Il a émis flammes et étincelles dès son utilisation. Imaginez si elle se l était approchee du visage, ou si un enfant l utilisait. Quand j'ai alerté la réception : on m'a juste envoyé quelqu'un de la maintenance et j ai insisté pour avoir une crème, un pansement gras... la dame de l'accueil n'a pas bougé de sa réception, ne s'est pas inquiétée de l'état de mon amie ni les jours suivants!! Ni à notre départ. Rien. J'ai eu un minuscule tube de crème... la dame n'avait pas l'air d'être sûre de ce qu'elle me donnait. La trousse de secours paraissait ridicule pour un hôtel de 11 étages. Seul le monsieur de la maintenance, bien gentil, a bidouillé une réparation rapidement. Mais c'est pas son rôle de s'inquiéter du bien être des clients. C'est l' une de mes rares expériences à l'hôtel car j ai plutôt l'habitude de voyager en routarde, peu m' importe la décoration, la nourriture, la propreté, les animations ( qui étaient correctes dans l'ensemble) s'il y a une chose qui devrait être prioritaire et accessible à tous c ´est la sécurité!!! L'établissement est vétuste et un grand contrôle de l'installation électrique, détecteurs de fumée devraient être fait d'urgence pour éviter des catastrophes!!!
