AluaSun Cala Antena - All Inclusive

I wasn't expecting this hotel to be brilliant being a 3* however the lack of sunbeds is evident the hotel could provide more beds on the grassed area. In the restaurant the staff work hard however there isn't enough of them in peak season lots of dirty tables with people standing around waiting for dirty plates to be cleared. The is an endless queue at the pool bar this could be reduced if they had soft drinks on self serve, like the water and coffee. Giving an honest opinion I wouldn't recommend this hotel better out there for same price

Just came back from a 11 night stay. There were a lot of positives, and then definitely some areas for improvement. Positives - the overall energy and vibe of the hotel is good. Staff are friendly, there is a lot going on all the time, and it doesn’t feel boring. The bar and pool area was always buzzing - food was good, with consistent high quality and variety. I liked the theme nights, as well as the authentic Spanish regular dishes. Great desserts. Good menu in general if you want to be healthy, but loads of indulgent stuff too. - very good coffee machine and plenty of access to cold mineral water and sparkling water. We could refill our large water bottles all the time which was great (you would be amazed how many hotels don’t want you to do this) - a real effort from the hotel to be sustainable and eco friendly. Very impressed at this from a 3 star hotel - lots of activities in the pool for kids, and general activities. They really try to create energy and atmosphere and I think this helped lifted it from being a 3 star hotel, purely as there was just such a good happy vibe at all times - cleaning was consistent and thorough. The rooms (whilst a little dated around the edges) felt clean and simple and very easy to live in. Crisp white sheets and lots of fresh white towels every day. Needs improvement - no inflatables allowed in the pool - so annoying! - the pool simply isn’t big enough for the amount of guests. I’ve never stayed anywhere with such a busy pool - it’s impossible to swim lengths, and you can’t tread water without a ball flying past your head. It’s great fun for kids, but this not a place for a cool swim after a sunbathe session. It’s like a constant pool party. Also doesn’t help that it opens very late (10ish?) and then seems to close around 6pm, which is just strange. I think maybe it’s to do with the lifeguard’s working hours - which is frustrating seeing as he was barely present (seemed to be asleep and not looking at the pool most of the time). - aircon in bedroom and main restaurant very hit or miss at times. Needs improvement - the baby pool is icy cold. Even on the hottest day it was very very hard to get my son in it. Such a shame!!! And it would definitely help alleviate the busyness of the main pool if little kids could use the baby pool - not enough sunbeds for hotel guests. We never had a problem getting a bed as we’re early birds, but many days you saw lots of guests lying on towels on the ground, which is such a vibe killer. Having enough loungers is surely a basic thing at a hotel! - hotel space could be used better. There’s so much unused indoor space, and very little space outside with one overused pool. They really need another pool and more seating areas. - no fridges or kettles in rooms as standard, which is a bit of a nightmare. Shame the coffee machines weren’t available before 8am (when you’re up early with a baby it’s not easy!) - pool area can be very noisy with music at times, and t

Food buffet options were vast and fab, way better than anticipated. Hotel waaaer up brilliantly, with friendly energetic staff. Highly recommend!
