Hotel Samba

I'm currently staying at this hotel, been two nights so far and I have to say every thing had exceeded expectations so far.

The staff have been absolutely wonderful, always a smile on their faces regardless of the time or how busy it has been. Any time I've had a query they've gone above and beyond to accommodate my girlfriend and I.

All inclusive is pretty standard and quite easy to follow, you are given one card per person to take to the bar in exchange for a drinking glass, simply bring it back when finished to get your card back.

The pool is lovely, deep and a fair size. The sun loungers are comfy with a lovely little pool side bar to serve you without going too far. A lift is available to the pool area for those with mobility issues.

The breakfast is fantastic with a great selection, lunch and dinner have the same selection but again, lots of variety and plenty of flavour. The fish dishes were a particular delight. It can of course get busy but the lines move fast and plenty of seating available.

The entertainment is standard for a Spanish resort, it's good cheesy fun with good tunes and a charismatic entertainer, we had a good laugh at all the people dancing away like they were 19 again.

In all this hotel has been tremendous, it looks great, the rooms are brilliant, the bathrooms whilst dated are still top notch and everything works.

I would also like to thank the hotel engineer and maintenance guy, we ordered a mini fridge to the room and he delivered it fairly quickly, during delivery we noted that we would have to purchase an extension cable to use it and 15 minutes later he came back to the door with an extension cable, without being prompted or asking. He spoke very little English but still was considerate and understanding enough to create a great customer experience.

Well done hotel Samba, we are here until Saturday and the experience has truly made our holiday unforgettable so far.

It is a 3 star hotel so don't expect 5 star. £60 a night for 2 people with breakfast and dinner is fine. You could pay that for dinner if you ate out. We just used it as somewhere to eat and sleep. The food is obviously on a budget but there is plenty of it and we could always find something we liked. I had salad, a main course and fruit for dessert every night. My only criticisms of the food are that there were not baked beans every morning. Not everybody eats meat (I do btw) No excuse really as they are so cheap. Also breakfast tables were covered in dirty plates as there were not the staff to clear them quickly enough. Perhaps tell guests to clear their own plates which is what we did or get a couple of the cleaners to help in the dining room during breakfast. Our room was ok and cleaned every day. 10 minute walk to the town centre and beach. Staff were helpful so no complaints.

The best service, great view and location, excellent rooms. Great value for money.
