Alanda Carib Playa, Marbella

Advantages: beautiful and very clean.
Disadvantages: i found none during a 2 week break.

...The NH Alanda hotel in Marbella is without doubt one of the best hotels I have stayed in and Marbella itself is a beautiful city. A holiday in Marbella is always going to be a great holiday but you really can add to your time there by using this hotel. Marbella is situated along the Costa del Sol and is Spains answer to st Tropez, this holiday resort is chic and is well known to be favoured by the rich and famous. It's not hard to see why when you visit you will be instantly taken aback by the beauty of your surroundings, which brings me to this fantastic hotel. The NH Alanda hotel with its beautiful pool, four star rating (five in some brochures now I believe) and its 199 rooms looks more like a palace than a hotel. I personally was there in the summer of last year, as we walked in to the outstanding reception area to be greeted... Read review

Advantages: Excellent hotel with lots of facilities
Disadvantages: Resort of Juan Dolio wasnt the greatest.

...Dominican Republic - Juan Dolio - Coral Costa Caribe I came to the Coral Costa Caribe with my (now ex) boyfriend when we were both 19. We found the hotel was excellent. We loved the 24 hours all inclusive, the gardens of the hotel were lovely and the room was spacious with 2 double beds. Our room was very clean and was cleaned regularily. The food was nice but I cant remember much of what they had because its now over 2 years ago that I went. The resort of Juan Dolio itself I didn't see much of. There were only another few hotels in this resort so it wasn't catered well for tourists - which is great if that is what you want. But the hotel offered different sport to entertain you during the day - there was tennis courts, crazy golf, aqua aerobics, volley ball and other stuff. The staff at the hotel were very...

Advantages: Location, food, price
Disadvantages: size of swimming area

...This hotel is right in the middle of all the action in Magaluf. We stayed here on a half board basis and really got value for money. The Flamboyan Caribe is 2 seperate buildings. The Flamboyan part is the hotel with the caribe part being appartments. The hotel is situated facing onto Bananas and Car wash night clubs as well as being next door to a few pubs. Very handy for falling home after a late night. However at the back end of the hotel is the beach. The hotel has private steps leaving the pool area which takes you direct on to the stunning, very clean beach. The hotel itself is situated a bit off the main road. The reception area is very clean and friendly however the staff were not very good at understanding English. We were situated on the first floor, above the entrance and facing onto the main street. The first night... Read review
