El Arenal Golf Holidays

We stayed for 15 nights, and unfortunately the experience was far below what we expected. Cleanliness: Below acceptable. Dust around the phone charger, ants in the room, mango traces never cleaned, coffee left for two days, missing basic amenities such as toothbrushes, laundry bags and tissues, and even torn towels. Service: Staff were generally careless, unhelpful and often rude. Despite staying 15 nights, many would walk past without even greeting us. The AC did not work for the first three nights, despite repeatedly being told it had been fixed. One night, the electricity in our room completely went off. We were told nothing could be done until the next day and were expected to let our children sleep without electricity. Only after a major dispute were we moved to another room. We asked to speak with management but were told the manager was too busy. His assistant gave us his email and promised to follow up, but he never replied. Restaurant: We witnessed a staff member shouting at a pregnant woman who was taking a piece of bread to eat outside because she was late. Completely unnecessary and very poor hospitality. Credit where it is due: Chef Pepe and waiter Junior were genuinely warm and welcoming. They remembered our children’s names and always greeted us with a smile. After 15 nights, this was a miserable experience. Poor cleanliness, poor maintenance and poor service. Definitely not a 4-star experience, and we would not recommend this hotel.
