Gavimar la Mirada Hotel and Apartments

Par où commencer…. 1) À l’ arrivée nous étions obligés d’ envoyer notre confirmation de réservation. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi, car l hôtel avait bien notre réservation dans le système (idem pour tous les autres clients). 2) la propreté : 3/10:… A l’ arrivée j’ ai demandé un changement de draps immédiat car il y avait des taches sur les deux lits ( merci beaucoup à la femme de ménage qui est arrivée en 30 minutes). En général la chambre ne donne pas l’ impression d’ être propre en raison de mobilier qui date. La baignoire - vaut mieux prendre une douche. 3) nourriture: j’ai payé un All in pour deux personnes et au final nous n’ avons rien mangé. Quand j’ai vu le buffet le premier soir, j’ai cru que c était une mauvaise blague …. Je ne suis pas quelqu’un de compliqué, mais je n’ai jamais vu un si mauvais buffet / choix dans aucun hôtel de toute ma vie. 4) l’ hôtel et un appart / hôtel avec petite cuisine mais aucun matériel n’ est fourni. A quoi cela sert ?? 5) la chambre ne correspond pas vraiment aux images sur le site de réservation. La seule chose de positive, c est le personnel de la réception et les femmes de ménage adorables… mais ce n’ est pas suffisant pour passer un agréable séjour. Si vous ne voulez pas être déçu, choisissez un autre hôtel !

La verdad es que por el precio que pagamos por el todo incluido no vamos a pedir mas. Comida estaba bien, quizas poca variedad, pero no nos quejamos. El personal de diez. Lo que no me gusto es que hacia un calor infernal en la isla y no ponian aire acondicionado en las instalaciones en las que se encontraba el personal trabajando (el aire acondicionado del comedor se desactivaba a las 15:00h independientemente de quien estuviera alli adentro). Es un hotel enfocado para el turismo extranjero. La cena se da hasta las 21:00h, deberian ampliarlo hasta las 22:00 a mi parecer. Hay muchas actividades. El horario de piscina demasiado limitado (10-18h) a las 6 de la tarde aun apetece quedarse bañandose. Por lo demas, todo bien.

Had a weeks stay here at the beginning of August. Firstly, the price of this hotel compared to other 3stars is ridiculously expensive- so you would think good things for the price. On arrival check in took forever- the receptionist wasn’t helpful. The food was diabolical and not much choice. Every time you’d walk in to get food the smell of fish would hit you in the face and put you off eating anything. I ate fruit and got snacks from the nearby shop. The rooms are very dated and smell very musty. The bath was yellow and stained and you never felt clean- also because the water was salt water. In the night you’d wake up with ants crawling on you all in the beds, I would say this would interfere with your sleep but the hardness of the beds do anyway- it’s like sleeping on a brick. The aircon in the room was ok, we got lucky on that one. The only positive is the beach is a two min walk away but get there early in summer months as it gets busy. Overall I would never return, never recommend to anyone and definitely wouldn’t even consider it a 3 star. If it was possible I would say zero stars. If you’ve already booked then I’d consider changing hotel or go knowing what it’s like and make the best of it- you can either laugh or you’ll cry.

Well, the hotel was nice, the rooms where average, the pool and entertainment was good and enjoyable, the food was decent, the WiFi is not good and unstable, the floor in the rooms and the hotel was very slippery, causing some wheelchair and crutches users issues, the lift to some rooms in the hotel was up a flight of stairs which too caused problems, staff where friendly and spoke good English. I wouldn’t stay again but I would recommend for a low budget trip that gets you good amenity’s.

Just returned from 10 fantastic days at the Gavinar with our 3 girls (8, 12 & 14). Had an amazing time. Food excellent, drinks plentiful and the measures generous. Great location literally 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach with a Cafe and toilets. Pristine waters with lots of fish for snorkeling and walm turquoise sea. Go during the late afternoon / evening for a cooler and less busy experience. The Stargish glass bottom boat picks up there and the tour to see dolphins and swim is expensive but worth every penny. We saw a pod and were able to view them underwater through the glass boat walls of the catamaran. The resort is on your doorstep with bars and shops open till late. Hotel rooms are spacious, the pool is plenty big enough and you can always get a sun lounger or table by the pool/bar - and wider hotel facilities great (gym definitely needs more equipment mind - like a bench and some free weights but the Smith machine and cables provide enough to keep you ticking over). What really made it for us was the entertainment team and bar staff - just so friendly and great fun! Eddie Christian, Huan, Danny, Paola and everyone do their utmost to bring the holiday vibe and crank up the fun factor with plenty of games and shows. We would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the one missing key ingredient - air con. The only place that had functional aircon was the gym - the rest of the building including the rooms had something that simply didn't work which made it uncomfortable for living and sleeping in over 30 degree heat. It does affect your enjoyment - despite the best efforts (working long days in the heat) of the amazing staff and the otherwise great hotel in a fantastic location.

We recently travelled as a family of 9 (7 adults and 2 children), staying across 3 rooms at the La Mirada hotel. On reading the negative reviews, we were apprehensive - however the reviews do not reflect our lovely experience at this hotel. The rooms are basic and the air-con system definitely needs attention. However, the hotel is clean, staff and helpful and friendly and the pools and pool areas are excellent. The pools were very well maintained and plenty big enough for all customers across the main pool and smaller children’s pools. We were easily able to get sunbeds together (as a group of 9!) even after returning to the hotel in the afternoon. The €1 deposit for cups and plates is a fairly standard practice and ensured the pool area was kept clean and tidy - no issues at all getting the deposits back at the end of the day. There are plenty of drinks (including cocktails, wines, beer and soft drinks) included in the all-inclusive, as well as unlimited ice-creams and lollies throughout the day. The hotel is just across from a beach which also has a starfish boat pick up point if wanting to join a boat-trip. There are plenty of nice bars and shops within walking distance of the hotel. Be mindful of wait times for taxis to Cala D’or (even when booked by the hotel or waiting at the taxi rank the other end) - we didn’t find the local taxi service to be very efficient but there is a reliable bus service within walking distance of the hotel. Overall a pleasant budget-friendly stay!
