  Regret, disappointment and mattress insects.

  27 Apr 2026

  I'll start with the main thing. Be careful with this hotel. It's located in a boring and neglected area. Everything around is shabby and worn, just like the hotel itself. There are no entertainment options around the hotel, no nice restaurants or cafes, and nowhere to really get a coffee. The only thing you can't see is the sands of Maspolomas. The descent to the beach is quite steep with many steps, and in the heat, it's quite difficult to climb back up, so be prepared for that. The hotel... there's no cleaning service. When we checked into our room, we found hair in the shower. The floors hadn't been washed in a week, nor had the sink or shower. Towels are changed twice a week, but they're thin and gray with age. The beds are more or less comfortable, but they're on wheels... but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that we woke up covered in vinegar stains the next morning, most likely insects, and after each night, there were more of them. We had to take antihistamines and treat the bites, which were most likely from the mattresses. Other guests had the same problem. The food was absolutely tasteless. Upon check-in, we reported to reception that the balcony door was broken and the handle was torn out, leaving a hole leading to the street instead, but no one did anything about it for the entire week. The light bulbs were burned out, and the staff didn't respond at all. The hotel was mostly retirees, but even they were bored with the on-site entertainment. It's a 3-star hotel, but this is clearly no more than a 2-star! We'll never come back here again, even for free.

  Very good

  We weren't sure when we were dropped off having to walk from the bus . Friendly and quick check in . Room small for two adults and a ten year old. Spotless everywhere the whole hotel. The food was very good. Spa exceptional. Pool average. Snack bar was brilliant. Entertainment below average. We will definitely return great location. I would give it 3.5 star rating.

  Constant noise

  15 Apr 2026

  Just arrived home after 2 weeks at Bull Escorial. 2 weeks constant listening people kicking football on the fence, from 8 in the morning until 22. I you are looking for peace and quality time, this hotel is not for you. We'll never go to any Bull hotel again.Manchester Mark

  Worthy of more than a 3 star

  14 Apr 2026

  We loved our stay at Bull Escorial and will absolutely consider returning.Our room was on 7th Floor #720 and despite my partner’s concerns about how high it was they were soon put to bed. Room was spotlessly clean, of a good size & very well maintained with a modern feel. We had a good size balcony with a decent view.Towels were changed regularly and bed sheets were changed at least once during our stay. There was a safety deposit box in the room for which we paid €14 for the week which we thought is reasonable. Cleaners worked tirelessly on a daily basis and to a high standard.We were all inclusive and the selection of drinks/cocktails included were more than sufficient we felt. We are not the fussiest of eaters but we think the food at breakfast, lunch & dinner was very good with ample selection, of a good temperature and always being replenished. Staff were lovely and friendly again working very hard.We didn’t have to rush to get a bed by the pool with there often being plenty available even pitching up well after 10am. The no reserving of beds/beds not being used for an unreasonable period of time was well policed by the lifeguard(s). There are also plenty of beds around the corner from pool which seemed like a right sun trap. We did venture onto the roof terrace but when we did there were no beds available being a much smaller area I suspect you need to be very on the ball to get a bed there.We only saw 3 nights of entertainment which consisted of 2 female singers(who were decent enough), some dancers/acrobats which was very good and then our last night was the carnival night which was excellent. The 2 animation in the day were friendly and encouraged participation without going over the top. The gym was excellent and almost worthy of being a gym in it’s own right certainly 1 of the if not the best we’ve come across at a hotel.The free spa was excellent in particular the indoor pool and the flotarium which was a great place to relax.The games room available was a bonus and a couple of evenings we played snooker & bowling by paying a deposit(think it was €15) at reception for the snooker balls & bowling key respectively. We also played crazy golf again via a deposit at reception and whilst pretty basic was still enjoyable.The staff throughout including reception, restaurant, bars & cleaners were excellent and just wanted to make our time the most enjoyable it could be. It happened to be my birthday while we were there and the bottle of wine & card left in our room was a nice touch and very much appreciated.A couple things some may wish to consider is that the guests in the main are older(it’s not often at 53 I reduce the average age these days) and also Brits seem to be in the minority most common nationality appeared to be German.Not that anybody goes away to watch TV but we checked what channels were available and there did not seem to be any English channels at all. That said these things did not detract from our stay.

  Very happy

  26 Mar 2026

  First time at this hotel and will not be our last. We arrived early as got through the airport quickly and our room was already ready so we got straight in. We were given our wristband and told we still had time for lunch so we dropped the cases off and got some lunch. The hotel was spotless and looked more like a 4 star than a 3 star hotel. Our room was a good size with a a view of the mountains and we were on the top floor so it was lovely. When we were there it was during the storm so a lot of the outdoor activities were halted but the team put on some activities in the hotel. I can't fault what they did. So no faults with the rooms but as has been said before the bath towels were on the small side but not a big deal at all. The food was fresh, great selection and varied throughout the week. Yes there were dishes that were repeated but it was a buffet and more than adequate. Te drinks were great and even though we were all inclusive the prices were very reasonable that we saw on the app.I'm not a fan on evening entertainment but we stayed a few nights and it was pretty good and entertaining and the festival themed ones were amazing. We didn't use the spa but it looked really relaxing. The staff were all amazing, friendly and hardworking. The location was perfect to pick up local busses, the neach and some of the shops. It was on the flat and accesible for people with limited mobility. Even though you were close to a duel carriageway you didn't really hear it unless the balcony doorswere open. All in all we were extremely happy with the hotel and what it offered, we arealready looking at booking again, and yes not many Brits we could tell but it didn't matter at all, we were catered for and staff were able to communicate with us with no problems. I honestly can't think of any negatives that would put us off recommending and returning to the hotel. Thank you for a great week despite the weather! But if you do want to offer us a free week to compensate us we won'r say no! ha! ( just joking)
