My son (13) and I have just come back to Dublin from a one week full board stay at Playalinda, and enjoyed it. I ordered a taxi through the hotel to collect and drop us to and from the airport as Almeira is only 30 mins each way, otherwise you are on a bus which takes hours. The hotel website offers a shuttle service, but when I enquired, they said they did not. The website needs some updating. This hotel is a solid 3 star resort, not a 4 star, but perfectly nice none the less. The other guests are mostly Spanish, Dutch, German, French, and Icelandic with the odd English and Irish family thrown in. The Hotel entrance is dated and apart from a small a very very under whelming, but don't let that put you off. The staff were all lovely, from the restaurant to room cleaners, from the pool attendents to the receptionists, especially Anna who was particularly accommodating on reception. We stayed on the 7th floor, the top floor. The lifts go to 6th. But, it was wonderful, there are only 3 rooms on this level, it's incredibly quiet with great sea views. The room was dated and a little tired, but very clean with a fridge and a large balcony with chairs, table and parasol. If you want some luxury you need to book the 6th floor as this is the only floor renovated, and from peeking into these rooms, I have to say they look lovely. The food was fine for us. Each sitting has hot and cold foods on offer. Breakfast can be a full Irish, or fresh fruit, boiled eggs, fresh meats, coffee, juices, breads, pancakes, cereals sweet cakes etc, something for everyone. Lunch and dinner are much the same. I stuck to salads, my son had paella, or grilled fish or meats and French fries or pasta. There is a dessert section and for the kids an ice cream fridge and crepe station. There is a pub attached to the hotel, which has kids game machines, and a pool table. The pool area is great and very clean. There are two pools which are shared by the Playa Sol hotel opposite. Plenty of beds even when busy. There is also a separate section with water slides, which are great fun. And then there is a totally separate large quiet pool away from the maddening crowds if you prefer that. There is water aerobics at 1pm & 6pm, which was quite popular and a small kids club completely separate for them to enjoy. The beach is 1 minute walk from the hotel and is so clean. It's not a sand beach, tiny stones, but no problem to walk on in bare feet. The beds can be rented for €5 for the whole day. We walked the lovely long prom most evenings. This is divided into a walk and bicycle lane. There are some restaurants and shops along the away. If you fancy some shopping there are plenty of large shopping centres a taxi or bus journey away. There is a large Spar shop 5 mins walk from the hotel and plenty of restaurants and pubs to eat, drink or watch football, or rent a bike or family tuk tuk. When we checked out at 12 on our last day, we stored our luggage and went to the

Las instalaciones están muy bien, aunque las habitaciones ya tienen sus añitos al final solo vas a dormir. El personal es increíble, super amables. La animación es buena y las personas que la realian son maravillosas, los niños quieren irse con ellos todo el rato. La comida está bien, en el buffet había variedad y si algo se acababa lo reponían sin problema

Hemos pasado una semana en familia,la experiencia muy buena. El personal del hotel de 10. La comida bueno normal. Por poner una pega tema piscinas y hamacas ,no hay sitios para todos y es una competición todos los días

Hotel de 4 estrellas que ni por asomo las tiene, instalaciones pésimas, habitaciones en mal estado, falta de limpieza,relacion calidad precio horrible, decepción absoluta. Lo único bueno es el personal. La piscina resbala por todos sitios, conseguir hamaca es complicado. Pero la peor parte sin duda las habitaciones y los baños....

Espectacular para las vacaciones en familia en lugar único tranquilo y con muy buena gente, personal y servicio. Volveremos
