    OK but certainly not worth the Money we paid.

    rating21 Oct 2025

    There was meant to be a kettle in the Room, we had to request this & I was told that our room category did not get a kettle, 20 mins later reception phoned to say they found a kettle, well let's just say the kettle had inches of rust/corrosion at the bottom, 2 days later after speaking to our Jet2 rep David a new kettle arrived. Its €6 per day to use the in room safety box which for 13 days is €78 which considering most Hotels charge €2 or €3 per day is daylight robbery(pardon the pun). Our Room was 534 which had a nice view over to Isla Christina. However our neighbours in Room 500 had a dog which regularly done a Pee Pee on their Balcony so do the Cleaning staff use the same Mop & Sweeping brush on their Room then come clean my room with same Sweeping brush, in 14 days our bedroom didn't get floor Washed or mopped & only washed bathroom floor a couple of times after telling them we had some Ants in Bathroom. We didn't know this was a dog friendly hotel & often found dog Pee Pee in Elevator, stupid to put Dogs in rooms on high floors. Food at Breakfast & Evening meal OK always fresh fish & meat being cooked but cooked vegetables were often cold as not kept on hot & one day the French fries/Chips were still frozen but overall OK. Because it was end of season plenty of Sun loungers around the pool area & pool area very clean. I don't think I would revisit this hotel preferring the Vila Gale or Melia nearby. Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playacanela Hotel, responded to this review Dear Davidwu,Thank you very much for your recommendation.We're pleased you appreciated our well-maintained pool area and found ample sun loungers during your visit. Our team takes pride in keeping these spaces clean and welcoming for all guests.That said, we sincerely regret that some aspects of your experience fell short of your expectations. Please know we consistently review our service protocols to ensure alignment with our standards. Regarding facility access, we always aim to communicate policies clearly while maintaining flexibility where possible.Finally, we're glad room 534 provided enjoyable views of Isla Christina. Many guests find our variety of room perspectives enhances their coastal experience.We hope we have the opportunity of seeing you again in the future.Kind regards,Juan Pablo PioliPlayacanela Hotel, Manager

    Nice hotel, good location, the food was good, but it could be some improvements (sometimes we need to wait to have eggs or grilled meat).The pool area was fantastic. The bar and services were great. The entertainment team was fantastic. From Gonçalo and José to the ladies the entire team. Their friendliness and good spirits were contagious. They made our stay a lot of fun and made us feel very welcome.

    Lovely hotel, very few Brits

    rating27 Jun 2025

    Came here for two weeks on half board. Although we’d not upgraded from a basic double we were given a one bedroom apartment on the top floor. We faced west and great views over the marshes.Hotel very smart and food good, very noisy restaurant with a lot of loud Spanish family groups . Pool area lovely, beds cordoned off until 10 am!!Supermarkets near and beach wonderful.Heard very little English spoken. Area very quiet, few eateries at Marina and, warning everything stops for siesta including buses! Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playacanela Hotel, responded to this review Dear Julia,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay.We are delighted that you received a complimentary upgrade to a spacious apartment on our top floor. The accommodation, combined with the west-facing vistas across the natural landscape, certainly enhanced your experience.Regarding your feedback about the dining experience and pool access, we apologize that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Our staff members are always available to assist guests in finding quieter dining times or alternative seating arrangements.Nonetheless, we are pleased that you appreciated our prime setting. The proximity to retail establishments and the pristine shoreline makes our location particularly convenient for guests.We would be delighted to welcome you back for another stay.Best regards,Juan Pablo PioliPlayacanela Hotel, Manager
