  Quite an experience

  05 Jan 2026

  This was our first time as a family the day we came there was a beautiful thunderstorm, did cut all power and water and some stupid kids drinking and one fell and passed away.. we loved being at this hotel the staff were absolutely lovely so friendly. The atmosphere was great the entertainment for children was so good the women were so nice and friendly and great with kids.. beds were so comfy our room got cleaned and bedding changed everyday , I tried so many different foods I never thought I would of tried! Only bad experiences we had was the time we were there I’m guessing university were on break and they hotel hopped and just caused nothing but grief knocking on doors through the night and running off, some girl looted drink on my head over the balcony but staff did deal with it fantastic. The security guard don’t know his name really big guy was fantastic he put up with so much from the uni kids if the hotel didn’t allow the immature , drinking stupid kids we would of given 5 🌟 the beach unfortunately was not sand it was stoned and caused me a reaction.. so much to see lovely history food was lovely hotel rooms were really nice could of had some English channels but lovely views

  Wouldn’t stay again

  07 Oct 2025

  Overall poor experience After reading the reviews i was reluctant to stay at this hotel but my husband had stayed here multiple times and said it was great. He also agreed the standards had fallen since his last visit. Upon arrival (10:30pm) we checked in to be told there was no bed for our 1 year old daughter but it would be sorted. We headed to the bar and waited. During this time the staff changed over. We went back to reception to be told there was no cot available and would have to wait til the following day. At this point i had an extremely overtired baby who was screaming and the man told me to put the baby in bed with me….. she has never co slept as this is unbelievably dangerous and the room had 2 single beds pushed together so she would have fallen down the gap! We then proceeded to drag the mattress on the floor to be able to get any sort of sleep but it took several hours of crying for her to settle which was completely avoidable. The following day we returned to reception to be told there was a cot all along…. I was livid. The hotel room itself had just been renovated and was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The hotel is half renovated with alot of noise due to the construction on the rest of the rooms. The park was often filled with dust due to them throwing buildings materials down a shoot from the 5th floor. The kids park is tired with lots of hazards. Chunks missing out the floor and swing and rusty steps. The pool itself was freezing but clean. The pool bar was shut so had to climb 3 flights of stairs to the inside bar to get a drink. Here you could wait up to 20 minutes for a drink as they serve paying customers first (we went all inclusive) the soft drinks were fine but the cocktails were not drinkable and even the staff agreed the machine they come from makes them poorly. However you could get a decent cocktail for a price. Not what you expect when you've already paid for it. The sunloungers are also placed on grass which was nice as there were no hot tiles. However there were alot of flies which resulted in being covered in bites. The dining room was like a school canteen. Literally. The hotel is full of youths (12-16 years) with very little adult supervision. They run down the corridors and make alot of noise. We also witnessed them climbing over the glass balcony into eachothers rooms. An accident waiting to happen. I felt like i was on a school trip. The food was always cold but they did have a microwave in the dining room. Maybe because they knew the food was cold. We even tried to time it at opening times but the food was still cold. Bananas were like gold dust. Very hard to get. Annoying as my daughter had limited food options. Most of the food was fish based and no clear labels as what each dish was. I was also stopped as i was trying to leave the dining room with my screaming daughter because i had a half eaten donut. Apparently i wasnt allowed to take this out and had to stand there with her screaming annoying other guests. In the end i left my dinner and went hungry. God forbid you are ill and wanted something bringing up to your room. The hotel is also pet friendly with many guests bringing dogs and cats in to stay. The cleaning staff were amazing. My daughter had been sick in the night and they provided extra sheets and bedding for her. They would always speak to us and make the effort to wave at our daughter which was great for her. We were the only English guests in the hotel. The location of the hotel is great with a short walk to shops and restaurants. The beach is about a 10 minute walk. We kept the room on for an additional 5 hours as our flight home was in the evening. The charge for this was €60 which was insane. There was no evening entertainment. Except for an hour of poor karaoke. We ended up going out alot. Overall I would return to lloret but avoid this hotel.

  Holiday from hell

  01 Oct 2025

  Where do I start? Rooms tiny no phone bathroom claustrophobic. Food COLD AND TASTELESS. Entertainment poor.only Spanish dancers twice oriental dancer twice and a dodgy magic act one over a 2 week stay. No umbrellas at the pool. This hotel was FULL of youths coming in every couple of days no supervision running up and down corridors all night knocking on people's doors ALL NIGHT. The only thing that had a positive was the bar staff. Had to get dressed to come down at night to complain about the noise as no phone in room. All in all the worse holiday I've ever had.

  Never again

  03 Sept 2025

  Where do I start! Check in was ok, but we wasn’t advised where anything was on arrival. I like most foods, and will try new things but I struggled & didn’t think it was very nice at all, and some of it was cold! They seem to bring out fresh food and put it on top of the food already there and give it a mix! Glasses, cups and cutlery were not clean & you had to search through for a clean one! One restaurant worker (Gabriella) was so rude each time we went, never smiled & rolled her eyes at me when I asked for a clean glass! My room didn’t have any drinking facilities or even a small fridge to keep water in. The room phone didn’t work. I found two large pieces of plastic in some fish, made the manager aware, he went into the kitchen with it, but didn’t come and apologies to me. Entertainment was the same everyday by the pool. There was an issue where the water went off in rooms from first thing one morning so you couldn’t shower or brush your teeth or flush the toilet, this is was until around 6pm when it came back on, but the water didn’t get warm until about 8pm! The drinking system for all inclusive is ridiculous. They also don’t sell anything alcoholic but beer at the pool bar, so you had to take a fair walk to get something different at another bar, I’m not one to moan usually, but it was one thing after another. On a positive note Robert on the bar inside was very happy to help, and always smiling! Emma on the pool bar was to very nice.

  Lovely place for families

  22 Aug 2025

  Had a fantastic time with the family at hotel Samba. Great pool, lovely food and staff. Was very busy with lots of school parties and dining was manic staff finding it hard to keep up with demand for clean plates/bowls but the choice and quality of food excellent. Staff work really hard and there should be more staff on bars. Entertainment team work hard and we had fun doing aqua aerobics. Reception staff very efficient and we were helped to book a day out. Rooms basic but clean, had a couple of issues on arrival but these were sorted promptly.Great location would definitely stay here again
