Hotel Playa Grande

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel the hotel staff are all very friendly including the cleaners. My room was very clean, it had a tv. There was no mini bar, coffee machine or fridge. I did ask to borrow a kettle which I the staff gave me. My 1st of 2 complaints is that in the room the plug sockets were not easy to use. In front of one was a dressing table and the one as I entered the room, near the door was about 8” off the floor. I wasn’t on a business trip but I needed to charge my phone, tablet and watch. My 2nd complaint is that the life guard was promising every day that the swimming pool was going to be cleaned (a sandstorm had deposited sand in it at the beginning of the week and the water wasn’t very clean it was cloudy) I didn’t use the swimming pool the whole week I stayed in the hotel some people swam in it but I chose not to. I understand that the pool was going to be cleaned at some point but I felt that the hotel didn’t prioritise this. This is a shame because I chose to stay in this hotel because it has a swimming pool.

Older lovely hotel right on the beach. Not overcrowded in May. Late night parties are a bit noisy, but so European to have your morning café con leche on the terrace in the morning.

I stayed in this hotel because it was very near a relative in Spain I was visiting. It’s right on the beach. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. There are no tea making facilities in the rooms. I asked the staff and they loaned me a kettle. There is a tv in the room, I couldn’t find the English Channel, maybe I didn’t search enough. The cleaners come everyday to clean change the towels and empty the rubbish from your room. To have a shower I had to get in the bath and pull a shower curtain across. I had a balcony which overlooked the sea and a children's play area. Occasionally smells from the kitchen would waft up, I could only smell it if I was in the balcony not in my room. There was no fridge in the room I stayed in. There was a telephone. There’s a swimming pool only open certain times of the year. The sun loungers had no cushions on them. The hotel has Wi-Fi but unfortunately my phone didn’t stay connected. I hired a car and parked in the street outside the hotel so I didn’t have to pay any parking charges. I had breakfast a couple of times in the hotel, it was a continental breakfast, ham, cheese, a cake, jug of orange, toasted bread and jam and coffee. I didn’t see any cereals and it’s not buffet style. This is a 3* hotel and it was very popular with Spanish holiday makers. If you choose not to eat at the hotel there are plenty of places to eat within a short drive of this hotel. There’s the Port in Puerto de Mazarron or the town of Bolnuevo.

Lovely hotel. On beach. Beautiful views. Don’t go to 2nd floor as there is no internet if needed. We were moved to first floor. Very obliging. Don’t have a first floor room near reception. Very noisy. Problem with water pressure too. Some time no water. But overall we loved it.

Beautiful views over the sea. Very clean. Needs updating. Caters for spanish

The hotel is in a nice position and is kept in a very good condition by caring staff..

like travelling back in time in very urgent need of refurbishment .bathroom water barely warm bath cold when finally filled took 30 mins to fill bath furniture grubby and tattered miserable staff

Felt so comfortable here. A home from home. Lovely english speaking staff. Beautiful sea view from the room. A perfect stay.

Staff are great. Location is great. Value is great. However the WiFi is still awful, and the rooms need some investment.

The hotel is very tired, wardrobe door hanging off. Large cracks in ceiling and walls.

I dont think the hotel has not been refurbished since it was first opened

Pls....Clean, friendly, right on the Beach. Nice to walk on a deserted beach, watching the locals fish. Minus....Very small bath, could have done with updating, no WiFi in bedrooms.

The room was fine, but the toilet behind the bathroom door was a hinderance.

Stayed for 3 nights knew what to expect as stayed here before great location

Nice hotel in great lication very near beach. Our room was clean but a little smaller than we are used to. Lovely friendly staff.

The hotel, or complex, is ideal for those who wish to enjoy a peaceful beach holiday. The personnel stood out; each one was calm, committed and friendly. Every room has a little balcony, which adds a touch of privacy and comfort.

The hotel is extremely dated., beds, blankets, bathrooms, TVs, everything....but it’s on an amazing beach in a very cool town, I’d recommend. But don’t get your hopes up.

The relaxed atmosphere, easy reach to the beach so peaceful. Lunch menu was good wasn’t to struck on the cafeteria side but the bar staff were cheerful. Hotel could do with a little TLC but on the whole was fine to spend a week there .

Lovely location right on the Beautiful Beach .Friendly staff

Good spot, next to the beach. Our room was sea facing, large terrace with chairs, table and two sunbeds. Never had those anywhere.Not much nearby - one beach bar, small, dull supermarket across the road, and a little farther two restaurants .It is basicallty a residential area. Nearby bus stops to catch buses into town, but take the timetable with a pinch of salt. Journey about ten minutes , costs one euro 15. The main port is well worth a visit with lots of bars , cafes etc, and a wide promenade. Prices excellent. The hotel is 1980's I would say, and needs refurbishing. Bedroom good enough with a double and a single, but fittings dated. Air con simple and reliable.Excellent room service from Leah the cleaning lady. Receptionists always pleasant and helpful, and patient with my Spanish. Dining room looks as if it's set for a wedding reception. Alex Polizzi would have them decluttering in minutes. No choice at breakfast which is served to your table. Always good, fresh orange juice, strong coffee, with tea as an option. Sticky bun, four pieces of toast with jam and butter, a variety of fresh fruit, cheese, various cooked meats, and one day only had eggs and yoghurt. Suited me, but my wife would have preferred the buffet option. They also don't do smiling waiters. Exception was the ever cheerful Maria behind the bar. Decent tapas with several options available at the bar. Neat, small swimming pool, but quirky. Didn't open until 11 and CLOSED for an hour in the afternoon.
