Mar del Plata Hotels with Gym

We booked our first holiday to South America through Steve Jones at Travel Counsellors, a service we have used several times for long trips, always with great results. We decided on the Sheraton Hotel as it offered parking and easy access to the beach but in a less crowded location. I started to read some of the reviews on TA and was wondering if we had made a terrible mistake. The truth is we didn’t! From our initial greeting the staff have been helpful, professional and acted in our best interests at all times. There was a small hiccup when we arrived in that we were booked into a smoking room (yes they still have them in Argentina). We rang down immediately to reception and within 5 minutes a porter was at the door to move us and our luggage to a very acceptable room. Everything was and continued to be spotlessly clean. The shower over the bath was powerful and the fact that you could take a bath was a positive that my wife made use of several times. We had a bed and breakfast package so used the buffet restaurant every day. The choice of food was fine and there were always cleaned tables to sit at regardless of timings and we did vary it over 7 days. The pools were large and although the water was cold, it was very refreshing on a hot day. For those who found it too cold the indoor pool was like a warm bath! English is not widely spoken either here or in Buenos Aires where we stayed previously but all the staff here had a very good grasp of our language and communication was never a problem. There are several excellent restaurants and bars within easy walking distance and we always felt safe. There has been a reassuring police presence in all the areas we visited and apart from the driving which in my experience is more dangerous than India and I’ve now done over 1000 miles in both countries, there is little to fear. So to sum up - visit Argentina, learn a little Spanish and enjoy a great experience.

La experiencia en general me parece buena, es la tercera vez que vamos. La habitación está bien, con buena calefacción por radiador y si querés tiene aire acondicionado frio calor. Colchones y almohadas en muy buen estado. Los baños los hicieron a nuevo hace unos años. Tiene servicio de cochera, con ascensor, dejás el auto y ellos lo suben o lo bajan, con mucha amabilidad. Si tenés que salir con horario, tomate unos minutos de margen por si están bajando otros autos antes que el tuyo. Conocí el hotel sin ”pileta ni spa” y donde hicieron el spa es un lugar muy chiquito, pero eso lo van cambiar porque están haciendo uno que parece lindo arriba del estacionamiento, donde también van a agregar algunas habitaciones. Lo que es bastante malo es el desayuno, no alcanza el lugar, uno de los días eramos 10 habitaciones en lista de espera para poder sentarnos a desayunar, los otros días pudimos conseguir mesa, pero algunas personas tuvieron que esperar. Lo que ofrecen de desayuno está bien, para hotel 3 estrellas. Dicen que van a agrandar el desayunador.
