Hotel Don Miguel Playa

Easy Jet cancelled our flight whilst on the tarmac and couldn’t rebook us for 2 days so we had to find a hotel near the airport to bed down in. EJ will only cover a 3 star hotel so our choice was limited and consequently we ended up here. The hotel is very basic with outdated rooms and the thinest wallls you could ever imagine. That woukd be ok if the hotel had the right clientele. Sadly though it is occupied by mainly young German groups who are there to have a good time and boy don’t you know it !!.Unless you fit this demographic I would urge you not to book this hotel, in fact the whole resort seems to cater solely to German stags/hens and other party groups. Not my cup of tea and somewhere I would drive through and keep going !. Positives are polite reception staff and a better than expected free breakfast.

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hotel around the second week of July 2022, we are both British and found that apart from maybe 2 or 3 other couples, we were the only British people in the hotel. This hotel was mainly for young germans on holiday, so expect big groups of young people. As we are younger ourselves (21 and 22) we didn't mind there being lots of younger people but we did not see many older people around the pool, but there was a few at breakfast. The facilities in this hotel are good, the pool is a good size and very clean, and the sun lounger area around the pool is also lovely. The pool bar is nice but we often found it was hard to actually find a member of staff around the bar (inside and outside) to serve us a drink as they seemed to wander around a bit? Also, everyday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, there would be a big group of younger children come in to the hotel to swim in the pool which was quite annoying, as they took over the pool area for an hour and made a lot of noise. The rooms in this hotel are ideal for if you want a clean, standard stay and are not expecting luxury. My boyfriend enjoyed the view over the football court and tennis courts as he could sit in the evenings and watch the football. The rooms were spotless and cleaned regularly. The only annoying thing was that the hotel is quite noisy at night, we got woken up a few times by people coming back from nights out and shouting down the corridors/on the balcony's etc but as we are younger, we understood so did not complain! The location of the hotel is great, close to many small shops to buy water, snacks etc and only a 10 minute walk to the beach! We would really recommend Las Marvllas and El Patio if you want to eat outside of the hotel, they are both a 10 minute walk away and serve really, really good food and drinks for a normal price point! Food in the hotel was fine (we only had breakfast) but there was no variation everyday, and there isn't a massive selection to choose from, so by the 6th day of our holiday we were massively fed up with eating the same food every morning! We did order from the Snack menu once or twice but the food was not great, frozen pizzas and cold pasta for €7 seemed quite expensive. The drinks were good though. There isn't much of an atmosphere at this hotel, there was no entertainment when we stayed and we would come back to the hotel around 9pm and no one would be sat at the bar or anything which was a bit disappointing, as it meant we had to find places outside of the hotel all the time! All in all, this hotel is great for if you just want a standard, easy holiday which is what we wanted and we would return again!
