Positive Guest Review:
"A lovely hotel. We have been here three times.All staff are friendly and helpful.In some hotels, you have to search for a waiter / waitress to serve you. Not here. They are highly attentive and the hotel is well staffed.We love the LARGE selection on the buffet. (Especially useful for my wife who has diet issues. With such a large range, she can always find something to suit her). The entertainment is varied (Music in the bar and in the Cabaret room/bar). I enjoy playing the FREE Blackjack games.WE have already booked for next year.As we hardly ever go back to somewhere we have been before.. that is probably the best compliment we can give."

Positive Guest Review:
"Nice hotel in a great location just 10 minutes from the airport. Lovely pool and surrounding area that was kept exceptionally clean, as was all of the hotel. All staff very friendly and efficient and food and drink choices were good. ( Note that not all food and drink was covered by the all inclusive option with additional charges for certain items). Just the one bar that served the pool area and terrace during the day and the terrace and entertainment area in the evening. Entertainment in the evening was low key with visiting acts performing on a very small stage. Just the one buffet restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Huge beach just across the road accessed via a secure gate at the rear of the pool area and a few shops, bars and restaurants just a 5 minute walk away. Many guests seem to be regular returning visitors who tend to like the low key, relaxed ambience of the hotel."

"We are currently at the hotel. It is wonderful. I can only comment on the Star Prestige experience, it is 5*. The food is fantastic, exceeding our expectations of what you would expect from an all inclusive hotel experience. The adults only pool area is incredibly relaxing, with plentiful comfy beds and parasols (no culture of bed reservation!) the service at the hotel is the real highlight. Everyone is incredibly helpful and friendly. All the staff at the star prestige pool bar deserve a particular acknowledgement and thank you! I recommend to anyone without reservation."

Kidd's loved parrots at Reception, I liked Modern coffee machines in restaurant. It's a bit far away from seafront ,but you could take a shortcut trough cactus park ,and make it in 15minutes.

"Lovely apartment complex. Personally I found the food awesome. It was a little difficult for gluten free family members, but the head chef (sorry, I've forgotten your name) was amazing and offered to cool fresh, gluten free meals on the spot. Not much to do for a teenager, but the younger ones enjoyed the pools and walk to the nearby marina. The eldest enjoyed the gym, but only when the AC worked. We had a spacious 3 bed apartment with private terrace. The housekeeping team were in every day and did a great job too. Food and drink on tap all day, sunshine, sea and a good tan. What more could you want."

"What a wonderful holiday spent at Hotel Beatriz Costa & Spa! I spent 6 nights here on an all inclusive package, and loved every minute of it.While the rooms are a little dated, they are clean and comfortable, turned down every day, the food is varied and plentiful for both breakfast, lunch and dinner, the pool is refreshing and clean, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and while it is a short walk to the shops (~10/15mins), it was quite welcome to be away from all the hustle and bustle - a bit quieter, and great views.The all inclusive is well worth any extra so do go for it - the hotel experience is designed for it. All in all, I highly recommend and would happily return."

The pools were warm and crystal clean. The good is fresh and plentiful! The bar is great for a drink too. The entertainment was fun even though we aren’t the sit down to watch the evening show kinda folk! We’ve loved every minute of our stay in a lovely junior suit! The private terrace was spacious and well equipped, but the best thing was the view of the night sky lying on the chaise lounges. 100% would recommend and hopefully will visit again"

"We have are very frequent traveller but have never travelled all inclusive before so we didn't have anything to compare with.However, we were so EXTREMELY HAPPY with everything at Seaside Los Jameos.We came with our one year old son and were welcomed very warmly by the staff who, all throughout our stay, were absolutely fantastic. They are keeping high standards, are very professional yet friendly and happy.The rooms are clean and fresh, the outdoor areas so well maintained and beautiful, and we loved the pool area.The one thing that has previously stoped us from doing all inclusive is the food. Here, it was so good we were happy to eat in the restaurant on site every day, three meals a day. The variety and quality of food is very high, you can tell it's well thought out and the restaurant is like most other areas extremely well kept and clean.We can highly recommend it and look forward to returning one day!"

"The selection of food was fantastic and you will always have something to eat. The all inclusive package was worth it as the beer is Tropical and it's fine. The staff are fantastic and couldn't do enough for you. The only downside was the night life although that could be down to the World Cup. Everywhere just had football on and only a very few places in the resort had live entertainment. Would I go back that's a very big yes as the location is absolutely perfect just about two minutes walk to the promenade."

Positive Guest Review:
"Stayed here for a week's all inclusive last month. First time enjoying some winter sun and enjoyed how quiet it was. The resort is tucked away and very peaceful, though it's a short 10 min walk to the marina if you do want to escape. The app was extremely handy to download to see what restaurants were open that day. Overall the food was great, we didn't have anything that we didn't enjoy. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff were friendly, a few standouts especially in the piano bar who always remembered our order. The only slight downside was having to confirm we were all inclusive every time we ordered a drink. I can see why they choose not to have wristbands but it would make things slightly more convenient."

Positive Review:
"Lovely; clean, comfortable and well appointed. We arrived home from a 7 night stay last weekend and started looking forward to our next stay.We had the B&B option so can't really comment too much on the food. The breakfast is standard for a hotel of this calibre - plenty of choice. One negative I have to mention is that the 'hot' breakfast items were not very hot. The beans & scrambled egg were never warm enough for me to eat by the time I got back to the table. I gave up after the second day and went for the cold continental breakfast options instead. The pool is large and heated, I used it a couple of times and enjoyed the experience. The weather wasn't good for our stay so no lying by the pool. The staff were all friendly and professional. The overall rating has to be 5 star & I would definitely recommend "

Positive Review:
"We loved this hotel, glorious views over the sea and very helpful staff made our stay fantastic! Morning pilates on the beach with the animation team (Fernando and Aida are the best!) and their relentless enthusiasm made it feel like a personal welcome to the resort. The complex has an 'outdoor' feel to it and we loved the ability to freely wander to the edge of the sea in a minute or so.It's a little distance from the town/shops/busy areas but this suited us perfectly as it encouraged us to walk or cycle along the atmospheric seafront after our 'all inclusive' meals - the food being fantastically varied and refreshingly balanced and healthy :)The reception team were brilliantly helpful and even arranged rental bikes for us. The package really is 'all inclusive'"
