I am just back from a week at the Pineta Park Deluxe(30/9/07). On arrival at 11pm, after a long flight and bus journey, we signed in to the hotel only to be told we were being change to another "across the road" for one night as there was a technical problem with the room. Bell hop took our cases to Pineta Park Club. This is a dirty hole of a place where the staff are extremely rude. Only reason we managed to sleep was getting as much of the A.I. alcohol down our throats before we went back to the room. I kicked up the following morning and by 11.00 was in the Pineta Park Deluxe. This was much better, the staff are all very friendly and the entertainment team good fun. From what we heard during our stay, it seems it is common practice for the hotel to be overbooked and they dump you to the Pineta Park Club. Only by complaining vigorously will get a quick move, normally followed by a bottle of plonk and a basket of fruit in your room. My advice if you are told your are being moved "across the road", ask the name of the hotel, if it is the Pineta Park Club refuse point blank to go. I met a couple who did this and were moved into a brand new 5 star around the corner. For breakfast I hope you like omelettes and at lunch and dinner chicken. The local restaurants have nick named it "Chicken Land"

It would be great to provide more detail as Steve also suggests (not only on the good hotel but also the dreadful one as people on this site tend to like a lot of detail). Look at some other reviews if you get a chance; you might also consider a review of your flight there and back under a seperate title. Plese let me know if you edit this review and I will review my rating.

Only gave it a helpful as you did not really give much detail about the GOOD HOTEL, but it is helpful to remind people to be weary when asked to move. Regards Steve
