 Hesperia Playa Dorada: Nice Hotel by Albert Bauer |
| Posted 12 September 2005 about a visit in July 2002 | Overall rating: 8.8 |
In general this is a nice Hotel, good facilities, friendly staff and adequate rooms. The shops and restaurants are a 10-15 minute stroll along a pleasant promenade which runs along the whole of Playa Blanca. We didn't watch much of the in hotel Entertainment (this is a very Spanish/Italian orientated hotel and the shows are geared towards this) but what little we saw and understood was OK.
The breakfast buffet was OK, and there is a choice of smoking or non smoking areas completely seperate from each other, but like all hotels, after 14 days the choice of food was starting to get a bit monotonous. There is a snack bar by the main pool which is clean and offered a good variety of meals. I can't comment on the evening meal as we were bed and breakast.
Some of the rooms are off at a tangent to the main Hotel and overlook a smaller quieter pool, although no bar or snacks were available (a vending machine for water and fizzy drinks or a shop with very limited supplies) but some of these rooms back onto the road and might be a bit noisy. All the usual amenities (TV , shower , seperate WC, safe,etc.) were provided.
The beach (Plava Dorada) is a 5 minute stroll to and is nice, but seems to get very crowded at this time of year.
This hotel is definately worth a visit if you what a quite break with the optoin to walk to some nice bars and restaurants a nice beach and don't mind being totally outnumbered by Spanish or Italian holidaymakers. There are some good British bars so it's not too bad.

| Hesperia Playa Dorada: Nice hotel by Mike Ward 4 |
| Posted 02 December 2003 | Overall rating: 8.5 |
This hotel is a nice place to stay. The rooms are clean (but a bit tired in places), the staff are friendly, the pool area expansive and it is right on the beach , but within walking distance of the main shopping / restaurant area.
It is now somewhat overwhelmed by the 5 star Yazia Palace next door and this tends to show the hotels age. Some of the areas were a little worn, especially the room furniture. But it was very clean and the staff very helpful.
The breakfast was the usual buffet with fast service but a limited choice. mid-day snakcks were as you'd expect. I didn't eat dinner there so can't comment on that.
It isn't the last word in luxury, but a great base for a quiet week or two's vacation at a reasonable price.
