Playavera

Yet another lovely stay in this naturist hotel and unfortunately yet another room change. This is the third or fourth time I've stayed and each time there's been cause for me to move. This time it was the roof leaking and room flooding, as was the case previously, but at least the fan blade didn't fall out this time. This all said it has dramatically improved since the last time and it was extraordinary torrential rain and they gave me a room swap within a few hours and luckily the leak didn't touch any of my stuff. As always, the staff are wonderful and cannot do enough for you apart from a couple of over officiatious lifeguards who stopped textile friends getting into the jacuzzi with costumes on even though some of the antics going on in the jacuzzi where being ignored. Sadly, the actual area seemed a lot quieter than my previous visits but that may be due to it being so early in the season. Overall, if you are going to Vera Playa I would definitely recommend the hotel as I've loved each stay for different reasons.

This was the twelth consecutive year we have stayed so we obviously like the place and know it well. We visit in June, when it's not too hot and there are no screaming children. The only drawback of this is that the place can sometimes resemble a German geriatric Tuberculosis Sanatorium but hey, we're all getting on. Some people complain about the dated rooms but to renovate and update them would probably involve closing down the hotel so love it or lose it. The rooms are always clean and everything works. The beds are comfortable and the maids will clean your room every day, if you want them to. All the staff are cheerful, friendly and the reception is efficient. The location and the naturist environment is excellent and the main attraction. We noticed that the food appeared to have improved this year, and as vegetarian, we like the breakfast and dinner buffet and there's always something new to choose from every evening. Also good to see that the management have made some attempt at trying to stop guests from leaving their towels on the sunloungers overnight although some still creep around in the very early hours doing this. Shame on you! You know who you are... One complaint; My partner ordered a glass of 7up lemonade from the bar and handed over a 5 euro note and waited for her change. When none was offered she was told that that was the cost. 5 euros for a small glass of lemonade? !!! How can the management justify this? It's no surprise that guests go out and drink at the nearby bars and that the hotel pub has closed. Other than that, we always enjoy our stay and look forward to returning next year.
