Hotel Serrano Palace

I booked this hotel for a short break with my son. My neighbour recommended it to us. We were not disappointed. So many things to compliment. It's mainly the staff that make this hotel. Amalia and Nerea, the managers, are very visible and more than happy to muck in and help. Any my goodness do they work long hours. Juan on Reception works tirelessly to run the busy desk and answer any questions. The waiting staff are friendly and I would like to single out Ivan and Christina for attention to us at meal times... even bringing in English Tea when asked. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. The meals are delicious... not a chip in sight ... with a range of different cuisine nightly. The breakfast had everything you could possibly want to eat. I would highly recommend. If there was a downside there were only 5 British people in the whole hotel while we were staying and we were 2 of them. The Jet 2 rep said it was a new hotel for them so maybe in the summer months there would be more English spoken. Not a criticism as hadn't realised that this area is used predominately by Germans.

Fabulous Fantastic thanks you for a great weekend

Had a fabulous 10 days in this hotel. The customer service is exemplary. On arrival at midnight we were presented with either champagne or orange juice and a lovely meat and cheese platter in the restaurant. We couldn’t work the aircon on our first night.. TIP- the fan control is at the side of the bed and works perfectly! We were half board and ALL the food was amazing. We have stayed at many 5 star hotels and this was some of the best food and varied we have had. The staff everywhere in the hotel were amazing and I’d give the customer service 10/10. The heating system broke on a Sunday and we had no hot water until Tuesday afternoon but the communication was great and the hotel offered all free drinks to every guest on the Monday. Pity my husband had a cold so didn’t want to drink but we did manage a bottle of wine! The rooms are huge with lots of storage and separate sinks. The furniture is beautifully solid in a slightly old fashioned way with a gorgeous walnut finish and lots of marble. A couple of criticisms are the lack of a kettle and tea making facilities in the room. Being British I miss my strong tea when abroad! The other issue was the wifi which wasn’t as fast or stable as I expected it could be. The evening entertainment was good that we saw but we only went three times. It is a predominantly German resort which means it is very clean, and full of German Boomers which suited us. I’m English and husband is Irish so very nice to be in a clean, refined resort with no plastic menus or British and Irish bars full of noisy youngsters…. The beach and sea front area are fantastic for walkers and the coastal walks were beautiful.
