Maxorata Beach

Location is brilliant, within easy walking distance to everything. Apartments are big and spacious, noise on site is quiet. Food and service in the pool bar is fantastic and the food particularly was very good. Plenty of loungers by the pool and we never had the rush to grab them like in other hotels (so that was good!) people didn’t seem to reserve them all day and never use them, so again a bonus. The young male lifeguard was extremely friendly and spoke to lots of hotel guests and was very helpful. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it but it would probably recommend it to people who don’t have kids. We had tiny ants in the room, but speaking to other people in different hotels that was the same everywhere. We didn’t cook in the apartment so can’t comment on what the appliances were like but all looked fine. We had a corner room overlooking the pool and that was perfect for the morning sun! Shout out to the guest who provided the music round the pool (not all hero’s wear capes!) he created the atmosphere the last few days. We never had to pay the €150 deposit, no idea why but it was a nice surprise to be honest!

The problem I have is that this hotel has a salt pool! Which made a lot of people (especially kids) burn. My daughter had 50+ on and still burnt on different days. We even used 3 different brands of sun cream with regular re-application and they all had the same issue. So please be careful with the salt water pool. What I will say though is this hotel needs to decide on if it’s a family friendly hotel or an adults hotel. There are lots of families who use this hotel, from different parts of the world so I think they could do with developing the solarium into a smaller pool for kids or something for adults because right now it feels like the hotel doesn’t know what it wants to be. As there’s one pool, no floaties/rings or any inflatables are allowed; when a lifeguard is on duty. But then the female lifeguard also stoped a group of kids from using water soakers (that are sold in the pool bar!) not sure why because none of the kids did anything wrong with them. We only saw her on two days and I’d say they were the strictest pool day. And it’s not fair to stop kids from having fun in a pool like we’ve all done! WiFi connection isn’t great, will depend on where you are in the hotel. The rooms need air con!!! Even if the fans they rent out were free it would help but hiring fans that are needed is unfair. No idea why but you have to rent the tv remote, we were never going to watch the telly but if you’re someone who would that just so you know. No proper cover on the pull out couch bed (just a sheet covering the open seat and cushions) this was only used for my daughter to sit on when she played with her toys. She only sat on this for 2 days on the run and I had to stop her from sitting on it again as she had developed spots on her face on the side she was lying down on the couch on. After not allowing her to lie or sit on the couch again the spots went away. This is concerning as I’m not sure what is inside the couch or in that material!

I liked the quiet relaxed vibe. I stayed here several times over the years so warmly familiar

Theres nothing I dont like.

Everything excellent spot

Nothing all good

Very clean, pool bar cheap and food delicious

No air con in rooms so was like a sauna of a night. Having to pay for a fan, safe, remote control etc
