Angela

We have stayed at the Angela on many occasions, unfortunately it has gone down hill since our last visit. The food has always been hit and miss, but this year it was virtually impossible to put an evening meal together. Leading to us having to eat out. The food at breakfast was ok with plenty of choice. At the evening meal the joints of meat were sitting in water. I can only think that it was to keep it moist, not at all inviting. We reported this to the Tui rep, who mentioned that the choice of food at evening time had been reported to him by other guests. This in our opinion is not a four star hotel, may be three star at best. The draft beer served was terrible, with most beer drinkers drinking bottled or canned beer. This situation needs to be addressed by the management if they want to retain the level of customers. Apart from this all staff work very hard and are always pleasant. These problems are easy fixable if more attention is given to the food and drink problem.

Almost straight away we were offered a upgrade , even though we had requested a room on the evening sun side. Side of the hotel. We were given a standard room which I had no sun and told we would have to pay £105 extra to have a room onthe poolside of the building even where all the work was supposed to be going on. The room supposedly an upgrade was no different to the room with no afternoon sun.

Lovely holiday, we emailed in advance asking for the room we had on our last visit, the reply said they couldn’t guarantee anything, but we were delighted when we were allocated the room on arrival, many thanks. We had paid for side sea view & were on the sunny side, weather was fantastic best we’d ever had in November, our balcony had sun all afternoon, perfect.

Restaurant staff were brilliant, food good, shame carvery meat was sliced & put in gravy so didn’t dry out, as mentioned in previous review, we would prefer it freshly cut, but dinner & breakfast choices were good, tables cleared promptly & couldn’t fault it.

Yes building work going on at the hotel, but didn’t bother us.

I’d say public areas are 4* the restaurant, lounge & reception areas are lovely, but bedrooms could do with some attention & more like 3*. Room was cleaned to a good standard, towels could have been better they didn’t smell very fresh. Fridge & safe in room, comfy bed & nice bedding, also a kettle & few teabags, coffee etc refilled daily. Shower gel in dispenser on wall, small soap for handwashing but would be nice to also have a hand-wash gel dispenser too, good hair dryer.

Loads of shops & bars close by, lovely beach a couple of minutes walk. Large supermarket with everything you need short walk. Whim store also had loads of stuff, fresh milk, cheap beer etc just turn left out of hotel. Tuesday market good.

Happy hour brilliant, entertainment ok. Good TV in room with plenty of English channels.

Pool area had plenty of sun beds, snack bar understaffed & very warm could have done with air con, prices not as cheap as bars, but food good.

Very disappointed with the Tui bus transfers, sat waiting for over an hour on the bus on arrival & on return to airport picked up at 4 other hotels, it took over an hour, next time will book own transfers as the airport is only 20 minutes away. Bus doesn’t drop or pick you outside the hotel it’s at the top of the road.

We will definitely return, love the area & hotel good value for money.

Thanks Hotel Angela for a lovely holiday.
