Iberostar Playa Gaviotas

behind. The room was a partial sea view which was lovely and not just a glimpse either like so many partial sea view rooms from experience. The rooms were very clean as was the pool area and eating areas. A good choice of food with a few themed nights too. Staff were all very friendly especially the reception staff who were very helpful on check in and out. Entertainment crew worked very hard day and night and the shows were a very good standard. I would recommend the Playa for families with older children over the Park which tended to be mainly younger children. We travelled with 2 mums and 3 boys ages 14 & 16. Well done to all.

Really dissapointing experience. Great location, very friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms but the food was awful. Really terrible food. We went all inclusive and it was such a mistake because we really struggled with the food. It all had to do witht the quality of the ingredients, you can tell they are cutting corners with the food. They desperately need a good chef and to invest more in sourcing better quality ingredients. Also, there is no room service or any other payed alternative onsite so you are stuck with the cheap buffet. That basically ruined the whole experience for us. Also the lifts are very outdated and small and some of the hotel infrastructure really needs a makeover. The large pools were really cold so we could not use them. The towels could only be exchanged until 1:30 p.m. which made no sense whatsoever. A special recognition to Olga, the lady that works at the restaurants, she was very friendly and welcoming. Entretainment for children was great, and my daughter really liked Starky.
