A 5 night stay in albuferia in May 2017.
The hotel served its purpose that it was close to the old and new town - 10-15 minute walk either way.
The pool was cold but when it's hot you can jump in no problem
Enough sun beds around the pool always
The rooms dated but comfortable enough
This isn't a 4 star it's a 3 star at best, all the money had been spent in the reception area.
The all inclusive service is below average. we ate in town 2 of the 5 nights so that kind of tells you the quality on offer (chips, rice, vegetables, 1 x fish dish (didn't go near it) 1 x meat dish (same) salad and bread.
What was the most annoying is that the all inclusive snack bar closed from 12:00 to 2:30 every day so they could serve all inclusive lunch in the restaurant, but, however, you could pay for food from the snack bar if you did want it though....I've never heard of this before but reception told me it's very common this is done in albuferia? it was just very annoying as you've paid for all inclusive, and now this was a way of withdrawing the AI for a couple of hours each day and making extra money off of you if they could.
Drinks AI were fine but cocktail machine at pool area avoid as tastes nothing like they should.
We did have a word with the manager (nice guy) and he said they are looking to change this soon, it should be as soon as possible.
I'd consider staying again but self catering only def not AI. Old town has enough restaurants serving nice quality food!
