Hotel Playa Grande

Lovely position opposite the beach. The room was dated and basic and had no facilities, eg, tea/coffee kettle. Staff really friendly on reception. Room was cleaned each day. Restaurant for coffee/breakfast opened at 8 am. We didn't eat there. We had a spacious balcony. The bed was ok but just one thin pillow. Some blankets in the cupboard if you were cold.

Room 114...Old tired room, damaged furniture throughout the room, and furniture very basic, the pictures are of the draws inside the wardrobe.. no fridge or beverage tray, such a shame. The Hotel doors were locked at 21.45 when we returned on Christmas day after being out for Dinner and drinks in a local restaurant....dircetions on the doors said if doors are locked/ closed ring the bell ..with an arrow pointing to a bell on the wall...so we rang the bell and waited...but no reply, thinking that night porter would come let us in as ge might be on his rounds checking the hotel, how wrong we were, we kept rining the bell..ringing the hotel (someone kept answering and then hanging up on us) untill 22.10....so we had no choice but to leave, we never slept in the beds so cant comment on how comfortable they were or not? ....we never really stayed in the room... Arrived back at the hotel the following morning spoke to the young lady on reception who was socked by our explanation of our nights events...we explained fully what had happened and was offered another night free of charge, this wasn't appropriate as the event we went to was already over....we asked for a refund which was given , we went to our room packed our belongings returned the key to reception and left.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel the hotel staff are all very friendly including the cleaners. My room was very clean, it had a tv. There was no mini bar, coffee machine or fridge. I did ask to borrow a kettle which I the staff gave me. My 1st of 2 complaints is that in the room the plug sockets were not easy to use. In front of one was a dressing table and the one as I entered the room, near the door was about 8” off the floor. I wasn’t on a business trip but I needed to charge my phone, tablet and watch. My 2nd complaint is that the life guard was promising every day that the swimming pool was going to be cleaned (a sandstorm had deposited sand in it at the beginning of the week and the water wasn’t very clean it was cloudy) I didn’t use the swimming pool the whole week I stayed in the hotel some people swam in it but I chose not to. I understand that the pool was going to be cleaned at some point but I felt that the hotel didn’t prioritise this. This is a shame because I chose to stay in this hotel because it has a swimming pool.

Older lovely hotel right on the beach. Not overcrowded in May. Late night parties are a bit noisy, but so European to have your morning café con leche on the terrace in the morning.

Best location on the coast as long as you get a sea view room with balcony.Yes it is ‘quaint’ but that’s another reason we chose it.Bed VERY comfortable,plenty of hot water,lovely clean towels/ sheets. Staff a credit to them. All extremely pleasant and helpful.Breakfast was more than adequate.Best pan au choc and croissants . toastada with jam or tomato,freshly squeezed orange juice and the biggest peach I’ve ever had.yes it was served to you not buffet but if you wanted more you’d only to ask.Only complaint was the coffee. It was strong and stewed,not freshly machine made so dissapointing.Plenty of parking in front of hotel so didn’t pay for parking.For some reason the pool and pool area was closed which would bother some people if they like to lounge by the pool.We had the evening meal @13€ which was good value with regional dishes well prepared ,cooked and presented . Disappointingly it had to be eaten inside in the restaurant NOT on the terrace.WiFi onlyworked in the room intermittently but worked in reception,on the terrace and bar.Would I go back? Yes because of the location and the view from the room.

I stayed in this hotel because it was very near a relative in Spain I was visiting. It’s right on the beach. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. There are no tea making facilities in the rooms. I asked the staff and they loaned me a kettle. There is a tv in the room, I couldn’t find the English Channel, maybe I didn’t search enough. The cleaners come everyday to clean change the towels and empty the rubbish from your room. To have a shower I had to get in the bath and pull a shower curtain across. I had a balcony which overlooked the sea and a children's play area. Occasionally smells from the kitchen would waft up, I could only smell it if I was in the balcony not in my room. There was no fridge in the room I stayed in. There was a telephone. There’s a swimming pool only open certain times of the year. The sun loungers had no cushions on them. The hotel has Wi-Fi but unfortunately my phone didn’t stay connected. I hired a car and parked in the street outside the hotel so I didn’t have to pay any parking charges. I had breakfast a couple of times in the hotel, it was a continental breakfast, ham, cheese, a cake, jug of orange, toasted bread and jam and coffee. I didn’t see any cereals and it’s not buffet style. This is a 3* hotel and it was very popular with Spanish holiday makers. If you choose not to eat at the hotel there are plenty of places to eat within a short drive of this hotel. There’s the Port in Puerto de Mazarron or the town of Bolnuevo.

Lovely hotel. On beach. Beautiful views. Don’t go to 2nd floor as there is no internet if needed. We were moved to first floor. Very obliging. Don’t have a first floor room near reception. Very noisy. Problem with water pressure too. Some time no water. But overall we loved it.

Beautiful views over the sea. Very clean. Needs updating. Caters for spanish

The hotel is in a nice position and is kept in a very good condition by caring staff..
