Landmar Playa la Arena

I needed a holiday for my mother who has limited mobility, whilst also having enough to offer my family of three which also has a 14 year old. Something nice but also entertaining. My first impression was very pleasant, a beautiful lobby and a grand entrance reception area. The reception staff (albeit one) were as helpful with nothing being too much trouble. We were allocated two rooms next to each other, but these were doubles and we needed a twin, very quickly changed and only a few doors away from each other. The room was spotless and well maintained, room 592 with stunning views of the terrace, the pools and beyond to the sea. Housekeeping again went above and beyond, we had an issue with a bug outside, whilst she was scared herself she dealt with it quickly. Our hero! So sorry I didn’t take her name, but wanted to mention her. The food was plentiful, with a good selection. All cooked perfectly with good sourced fresh food. The serving staff work quick and efficiently special mention to Anamar and front of house Damien. We used the pools every day this area again was spotless and plenty of sunbeds with parasols. Staff were quick to collect empties. The snack bar food selection was the same everyday, this I feel could be mixed up a little with variety, hotdogs wrapped up quickly became dried out. The floor around the bar and the food area can get very slippery, obviously due to the fact it’s so close to the pools so be careful. We favoured the top pool which had the animation team keeping us entertained. It was warmer in temperature but it is also deeper with has less assessable slope like the cooler pool. Animation was fantastic, specially Francesca and Manu who we interacted with the most. Always smiling with bundles of energy. They both would speak and interact even in the restaurant when they were eating or on their day off. The pool party Saturday was epic!!! Lots getting involved and smiles all around. I had a massage whilst there, this was lovely and a nice touch to help relax. The hydro pool for adults only, was bliss. Evening entertainment was great, a small engaging game to start the big show off was great, more like this especially in peak season is great, it’s not advertised but if it was I feel more would turn up. We used the terrace most evenings with live music, we played cards, interacted with each other, it was lovely. A couple of the performers encouraged dancing, involvement, I could tell more would like to get involved so it was lovely. Overall, a fantastic stunning, spotless hotel with the hardest working perfectionist staff. Only negatives, the location of the hotel felt remote, I believe the hotel offers trips, activities outside the hotel which are run by the hotel (I assume included in the package), this I would’ve like to have known more about as my husband doesn’t do sitting still very well and he would’ve join in with this if we had known. So maybe a suggestion a full daily planner to include all t

I booked this holiday after a friend’s recommendation, I was expecting it to be good but it was better than I was expecting, the staff was all polite and helpful, nothing was too much bother…we did book platinum, was so pleased we did , the view from the infinity pool was amazing. So much choice for food and drink, when we arrived we went to the bar and the bar staff showed us where to go for the bottled soft drinks, also at breakfast the gentleman at the entrance showed us where to go, he was always smiling. … everywhere was clean..,we enjoyed the entertainment in the evening, including the cocktail party and the white night. We will be back.

Having booked the hotel on a recommendation we were a bit apprehensive what to expect we needn’t have worried because from arriving to leaving this hotel exceeded in every way from the staff at reception to housekeeping all staff were excellent to many to name individually.We booked platinum which also included the infinity pool and bar which had top shelf alcohol all branded drinks and excellent snacks which were always topped up with fresh rolls sandwiches rice bowls and loads off fruit and can’t forget the 11am cocktails and 4pm ice cream. only negative thing that we found was the night time Ala carte restaurant need too change the menu maybe every 2nd day and give more choice as it was the same menu the whole 10 nights we where there plus changing the afternoon Ala carte menu as well then more people would use it.as far as the entertainment goes it’s about the best we have seen.So anyone thinking about booking I would recommend you do it without any hesitation you won’t be disappointed plus book platinum it’s definitely worth it we have all ready booked for next year.lastly we would like too thank Claudia at reception for all the help trying to get us a late check out she tried her best but unfortunately couldn’t get us it but she tried her best she is a credit to the hotel ❤️

Great hotel. We enjojed every minute. We really recommend to spend your holiday here. Great rooms, tasty food, Beautiful views.

So first time at a non adults only hotel during kids holidays as going away with my mother, brother. And his 13yr old son. Have to say slightly dreading it. Headphones packed. Books downloaded. First time all inclusive. Ready for the bun fights and carnage at meal times.... how wrong could I have been. What a great hotel. From the great service on reception, amazing cleanliness of the hotel. Superb food, fab entertainment and cracking pool scene what more could you want. Something for everyone there. Inferior pool, called this as lower pool was like a warm bath. The bread!!!!! Fresh each day and amazing. The staff. All friendly and professional. All the kids, apart from one, well behaved and polite. Just a great All round experience. Would recommend. No kids club that I could see so more geared for perhaps if you have little babies or older teens. Great mini golf, boules dart board, pool tables. They even have a lift down to the beach!
