Alua Golf Trinidad

Check in/check out The hotel is around 30 mins from Almeria airport or 2hrs 30 from Malaga airport. Check in is at 1400 and check out 1200. Late check out is available and there is a luggage room if needed We hired a car from the airport. Parking within the hotel car park is £20 per day or there is plenty of street parking. We never had an issue getting a space. Rooms- The hotel is set in 1 big building divided into different wings. Some rooms especially the pool/beach view rooms are right above the entertainment which stops at midnight. Our room 418 was towards the front and was very quiet. Shampoo and shower gel are provided in the room along with a small fridge. The safe is an extra charge and needs to be set up by reception. There are no tea/coffee facilities within the room. The balcony has two chair and a drying wrack for clothes. Location- The location is Roquetas de Mar which is 30 mins from Almeria. Outside the hotel there are lots of restaurants, shops and souvenier shops all of which are a good price. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel. The hotel is set about 4km walk oitside the main town of Roquetas and can be reached by walking along the beach. A 10 minute drive takes you to a large shopping centre which has a KFC/Burger King/Primark and Carrefour. Beach- The hotel is located on a public beach which has no links to the hotel. The hire 2 beds and an umbrella is £5 per day. The beach is a fine shingle and I woukd recommend beach shoes. The water gets very deep very quick and has a strong tide pulling you in. This is not ideal for children or non confident swimmers. There are some life guarda but spread very far along the beach. Pool- There are 2 main pools and a small childrens pool with slides and a bucket. One pool seems to be where all the entertainment and music happens and then a smaller quiet pool. There are 2 pool bars from drinks and a pool snack bar although the snack bar was not open in May. The pools go from around 150cm to 190cm in the middle and are not heated. In May this did not feel overly old. The area can get quite windy especially in the afternoons. There was a life guard there as well. The childrens pool has a small set up with slides, fountains and a water bucket which runs all day depending on time of the year. Pool towels are provided for a deposit of €10 per person paid at reception. If you want them clean its €1 per towel on Mondays. Food/drink- This hotel has a variety of package options but we went all inclusive. The drinks are great, some of the better ones ive had in hotels. They use branded drinks rather the own brand ones. The cocktails come from a proper machine so dont taste to sweet like in other hotels and the coffee is made from proper beans not a push button. Food wise the breakfast is a typical all inclusive style, yoghurts, fruits, cereals and cooked food. Lunch and dinner has a good variety but doesnt have the 'typical' english food that many expect. Every mea

Again a lovely 2 weeks here the staff all make us feel so welcome I take my parents who are both aged 88 years had a wonderful time and hope very much to see you all again in September the food was good plenty of choice our room was fabulous everybody goes out of their way to be helpful no complaints what so ever thankyou to all the staff

We paid to upgrade to all inclusive it's not really all-in you have to pay for water you can't even fill your own bottle the all-inclusive ends at 12 mid day at checkout regardless of a late arrival and a late flight home the food is cold and repetitive mostly for Spanish people not English the all in area is often unnamed so you can't get a drink we had beer in a cup one day birds eating the cake which is uncovered you can only leave your towel on a sunbed for 30mins as it can be removed our room which we paid to have a sea view had sewage smell when we used to air-conditioning our tour operator report it but it still happened a couple of days later we both feel ill from this some of the reception staff were very rude to guests this was our second visit to this hotel it will be our last

This is my first review of this hotel , I’m here now & you’ll get a full & frank no bull review when I return home , if you’re Spanish it’s fantastic , I’m not I’m English , no disrespect to anyone at the hotel it’s their country not mine but we were sold this holiday by Jet2 , I am not a bitter Englishman but I will tell you the truth in my next review when I get home , if you have booked perhaps change it

JUST SO TERRIBLE. Staff are rude and totally do not care. I can’t understand when I read all the reviews why this has 4 dots. Nearly every review is putting this hotel down. It’s dirty and they have a price for everything. I’m surprised you’re not charged to use the lift or come through the door. Ridiculous. Stay well away.
