What a wonderful hotel exactly as the name describes family and fun. The staff are very friendly in particular the staff at reception we were given a very warm welcome with some sparkling wine and orange juice for our son. The food was really good as a vegan I find it hard going away but everyday there was a wonderful selection of fresh fruits and salads available. You need never leave the hotel grounds as there is so much to do lots of swimming areas and entertainment for the children. Playa Blanca as a destination also has loads to offer plenty of great snorkelling locations, sandy beaches, we climbed Montana roja which is not to challenging but has beautiful views a gorgeous marina with plenty of restaurants. We will be back!
We arrived at the Gran Castillo at 9pm on Tuesday 22nd September, the road to the hotel was closed so we needed to walk down to the hotel, nothing that the staff could do. Check in was smooth, easy to check in and got our keys and towel cards for around the pool and the beach. The hotel is clean and tidy; there is always a maid around of a morning tidying the communal areas and we saw them daily when going to breakfast or the pool. The rooms and of a great standard the biggest let down was the air conditioning, it was 30c some days and the air con was not cold, we would encourage an upgrade of this in the future to increase customer satisfaction. However, the rest of the room was spacious, the bathroom was separate and we managed to store 2 cases under the sinks to make use of all the walk in wardrobe by the bedroom door. The towels were always clean but far too small, the pool towels are the orange striped ones in the photos and the white one is one for post shower, very small. I ended up using my towels I took with me instead.
If you have a toddler who moves a lot in their sleep on night 7 the maid noticed we had added pillows and the quilt to stop our little girl falling out and provided 2 bed guards as seen in the photo. The food was good for breakfast a lot of variety of cold and warm foods, bread, pastries etc. We went half board and would have liked the option to have lunch and not dinner. We ate at the hotel twice for dinner and then ate out every other night, there are some lovely places at the marina Rubicón. I think from personal experience having both all inclusive and half board at the same hotel makes it confusing, it would be better to see a drop in the AI price and remove HB altogether. The adventure zone was open to guests when we were there and this is brilliant for kids, it had a great atmosphere and the majority of the entertainment staff were engaging and energetic for the kids. Alba was amazing! She is a great asset to the team. The noise level across the hotel was fine, the entertainment was quite loud of an evening but stopped promptly and we weren’t woken by any noise. Overall; a 4 star due to the food and the AI vs HB, but a positive experience and would possibly return again.
