Isla de Lobos Luxury Holidays

First the positives - I was a solo traveller and was delighted with my lovely big airy apartment style accommodation on the quieter side of the 3 storey block. It was very clean and was serviced daily with a built in safe (€2 per day charge to use it!!) Food/drink - poor for a 4 star. I like to explore so opted for Half Board. Breakfast was was the best meal of the day with unlimited juice/smoothies/chilled water. Tea and coffee was dreadful. Felt very put out when on the 4th day of my holiday I was challenged by the waiting staff for taking a glass of water with my evening meal - it had been ok to do so the first 3 nights- I was aware that 'drinks' were not included for half board but it never dawned on me that meant water too! There would be a €2 charge for that!! Red wine was €2.50 a glass and served ice cold (not pleasant) The impression given was that they would prefer you to be all inclusive for an added charge of €15 a day, I am. It a big drinker or eater so all these additional charges would have made my holiday very expensive. I chose to buy my own water from a shop at €0.48 a 1.5litre bottle (but was not allowed to take that into the restaurant) The pools and amenity areas were pleasant and there were ample sunloungers available but a €10 charge for a towel (non refundable) glad I took my own. It all felt a bit penny pinching and behind the times. The staff did their best and were courteous but I don't feel able to recommend the hotel to others.

Lovely break, fourth time back here

Beautiful grounds and ocean view.

Rooms are somewhat outdated, there may be a carpet stain here or there. The Staff is Super friendly, cheerful, practically everybody. And the food is absolutely 5 Star fantastic!

Not bad, rooms could be much cleaner. Dirty cups in the dining area on clean tables - kind of like when you overfill the dishwasher. But other then that it was fine.

If you are deliberating whether to stay in this fantastic hotel, do not. It is exceptional, in every respect. From warm, empathetic and genuine staff, a fabulous breakfast, beautiful pools, immaculate gardens to the peaceful location, this hotel is unique. Whilst enjoying the sunshine, we lost count of the number of guests who were returning year-on-year. It was one of the best holidays we have had, so we will definitely be returning next year.

Lisa is very helpful and responsive. Great service of hospitality. We have the luck to have our room upgraded to pool side. The whole experience is enriched. Everything is clean and sufficient in our room. Free parking on streets or public car park outside the property is convenient and safe. The location is not in the centre but there is no problem because we have rented a car. Few options on restaurants and a mini store is within 5 minutes walk.

Nice hotel, just a few minutes walk to the beach and the town/shops/restaurants Nice pool area with a plenty of sun loungers Nice spa Staff all friendly and accommodating Food was nice with lots of choice buffet-style breakfast and dinner, lunch was choose from a menu and cooked to order Nice selection of cocktails All I would say is that I found the bed not the greatest as I had a backache each morning, so tried my best to sleep on my side

Very accomodating staff - not happy with the original room layout and happy to move us. Pool could be a little cleaner - even with daily cleaning seemed to be a dirt magnet!

Recently stayed at Bristol Sunset Beach, staff very helpful. Convenient to shops and restaurants. Apartment is compact but has everything you need. Very comfortable bed and good pillows. Kitchen has fridge freezer, dishwasher kettle and toaster. No housekeeping during stay but you can get change of towels and bedding after a number of days. Would stay there again.

Rooms are somewhat outdated, there may be a carpet stain here or there. The Staff is Super friendly, cheerful, practically everybody. And the food is absolutely 5 Star fantastic!

Excellent central location just off the sea front, ideal if you want to walk out the hotel door and into the sea for a swim on one of the town beaches. Fantastic inclusive breakfast served with a great selection and everything you need to set you up for the day. The only negative was an awful smell of bleach in my room/ bathroom that lingered for my stay.
