  • “Breakfast and dinner all inclusive options were plentiful and hot, we had set breakfast time of 8:40am and 7:30pm dinner, not sure if this helped with the quality/temperature of the food, but there were plenty of options and it was tasty.”

5/5One of the best holidays we have had!1 Jun 26

Location - A bit far away from the beach and local amenities however the park being less than 5 minutes away is a massive bonus for thrillseekers. Atmosphere - it was a great time here. You get free portaventura passes with your stay aswell. You get some noise from the pool as people stay there at night just to sit by the water but apart…

5/5Poor expectations, positive reality1 Jul 26

Apprehension prior to arrival however all main concerns we’d seen on reviews, food quality, room conditions, poor air conditioning and issues around using the all inclusive options in the park were quickly dissipated.

To a degree but from our personal experience we had a great time in good accomodation and never went hungry. We were in room 1320 from 20th to 27th July 2026. The room was tidy…

4/5Amazing stay we really enjoyed it!!1 Jul 26

Well when we were due to come away I was very apprehensive reading previous reviews and I did worry thinking the worst.

The room was fine obviously could do wit…

1/5Bed Bugs, Poor Customer Service & A Very Disappointing Stay1 Jul 26

I stayed at Hotel El Paso with my 13-year-old daughter, who has additional needs, and unfortunately this was one of the most stressful hotel stays we’ve ever experienced. Our problems started on arrival when our room wasn’t ready until after 4:30pm, despite check-in being advertised from 3:00pm. The biggest issue came on our second nigh…
