Evenia Olympic Palace

Since the hotel is connected to 3 other Evenia's, it was too crowded at the pools mainly! During dinner the same. Kids pool area is at Evenia Olympic, main pool connects Park & Olympic and another pool area for Palace. Several snack bars at each area. Enough to eat during the day but variety stays same. We didnt expect also a lot... Mini club is big with gaming consoles for bigger kids, and also play areas for small kids. Mini disco area and shows at night is small and the bars crowded at night. Bar at Palace where we stayed closed during night! In Overall, it was a good stay but defenitely the hotel rooms might need a renovation. The beds rather uncomfortable as the matresses are thin in my opinion. For a short stay of 5 nights is doable. The people working there are very friendly and nice! Speak English and try to help a lot. Most negative aspect is the parking around. Almost no space available. First days hotel parking was full but we got a place later. Defenitely make a parking reservation if you come by car. Since the hotel is connected to 3 other Evenia's, it was too crowded at the pools mainly! During dinner the same.

Bar was closed from 3rd September with restaurant following on 6th. This is the most expensive of the hotels yet were no facilities open. We were advised by manager we could eat in the other hotels and that they would keep the other restaurants open till 10pm (same as palace) but this never happened. Queues at the other Evenia hotel bars were horrendous (20 people in queue at times) and I can only imagine what queues are like at peak times. Most staff were really nice but restaurant staff decided to challenge us on our last night as to why we were eating there when we were not staying there! Pools are shared between the 4 hotels but the pool bar beside the palace only opened on 2 of the days we were there. One positive is loads of different sunbed areas but obviously if you want beside the pool these go first. Entertainment for kids is great but nothing really for adults in the evening. Cleanliness wise I couldn’t fault it at all. Overall not a great experience!

Overall a good stay but needs more shade around pools and a better system for sun beds. House keepers do a great job in keeping room clean during stay.

Travelled as a family August 24, we ended up leaving for an air bnb as the hotel was SOO busy, we couldn’t hear each other speaking in the restaurant. It was a shame to spend our week together feeling like we were ‘getting through’ Was possible to get a sun bed at 8 in the morning to reserve for the day, but the pools were very very very busy ALL DAY Food was ok, plenty of choice but not high quality. And queues were very stressful,

I don’t want my review to put anyone off the hotel because it’s a brilliant set up if it works for you and what your family is after, unfortunately that wasn’t the case for us. We have a 2 year old and 5 year old so the idea of an all-inclusive and a pool with slides etc. was the reason we booked but in reality it didn’t turn out that way. The main issue we encountered was that the food timings were awful for us a family. Just be aware that food is from 0800 - 1000, 13:15 - 15:00 & 19:30 - 22:00. That’s way too late for our boys and caused us a big problem. We also got slightly unlucky with the weather (no fault of the hotel) but it did highlight the lack of other activities available for our boys as there wasn’t too much else to do. Had a tiny arcade that wasn’t suitable for our kids ages. We were pretty desperate just for somewhere to run around and kick a ball and unfortunately the hotel didn’t have that. There was a locked football arena that wasn’t available most of the day. Finally the room had basically 4 singles pushed together to make 2 doubles but were on wheels so it was like an ice rink. Think they should use double sheets to keep to together. Also the TV channels are basically non-existent, literally the UK channels not a single one even loaded although we weren’t there to watch TV but would’ve helped with the down time and during bad weather. This hotel is brilliant if you’re after eating loads of food, drinks unlimited & sitting by an exceptionally cold pool all day.

The hotel room was dated and repairs here and there were in order. The should have been a little more clean at the beginning. Among other things, there was hair under the bed of previous guests. First vacuuming and then with a wet mop had resulted in a clean room. On the walls at the beginning there were squashed flies, stripes, sun cream spots, etc. The food was varied, abundant, tasty and thematic. The drinks were very good with silver wristband. The meal times need updating. These were at 8h00 - 10h00 (breakfast), 13h15 - 15h00 and 19h30-22h00. 19h30 Is much too late as a start time for small children. The children's disco at 21h15 lasting until 21h45 is also much too late for small children. It would be better at 20h30 followed by the other activities (22h00 now) that also turn out to be for children (the theater with the minions for example). The pools were spacious, very well equipped and the many water slides were highly appreciated by the children. The 2 beaches are about 1 km steps which is doable but actually a little too far. When we went on day trips we received a picnic meal from the hotel which we greatly appreciated. Upon arrival at the hotel the first night we also received this. 8/10

We have been to this hotel 5 years running and think it's great. Kids know the layout and feel safe and happy, the pools are brilliant and the food is good for the price. Everything you need is in the compound and if you wanted to walk into town it's less than 10 minutes away. I've seen other reviews that complain about lack of deck chairs and I have to say one of us gets up at 6 every day to go reserve some by putting towels down. There is a system that if they notice the chairs still 'reserved' by 10:30 the towels are removed. Doing this we had chairs every day of our holiday with no issue. There are also available spots throughout the day but if you're expecting to come down to the pool at mid-day and find 4-5 chairs together then you will be disappointed. The bar staff are very generous with their pouring so pay attention and tell them if you want less alcohol in your drink as if you're not careful you will end up with half a cup of spirit to half a cup of mixer which is great from a value perspective but as I'm nearing my 40s and traveling with wife and kids I don't particularly want strong drinks. Staff are always happy to oblige. The one thing I wish management would change is for there to be a place to get coffee prior to 8am. Restaurants open for breakfast at this time and if you're an early riser there is nowhere to get a coffee before this time. There is also nowhere to get a drink (other than water) between 8:00-10:30 other than the restaurant so if you've eaten early there will be a wait until you can get a drink. The water station by the entertainment area seems to be open 24/7.

Definetely a great place to stay with families if you like entertainment. Food and drinks are excellent! Location also on point, away from the centre but nearby to walk to.

Positives - friendly and helpful Reception staff, great pools, plenty of sunbeds, pool bar has great staff and service, popular day time snack bars, good day time and evening entertainment. Good location. Market a short walk away from the hotel. Fifteen minute walk down to the beach. Negatives - 25 minute queue for drinks in one bar while bar staff chatted and joked amongst themselves (tip - use the Park bar where we found the staff were much more professional, helpful and efficient), the Palace bar had odd opening hours and was bizarrely closed in the evenings, similarly another outdoor bar was made non-all inclusive in the evening forcing guests to join the queues at the two bars that were open? Restaurant food was disappointing both in terms of selection and quality (sadly, the worst we have experienced in Spain), two in room TV's but only one English speaking TV channel, rooms are clean but very dated.
