Hotels near Playa de los Pocillos, Puerto del Carmen

Lovely hotel, great location for access to sandy beach, local bars restaurants and buses. The hotel was always clean throughout, staff were very helpful and mostly friendly. There were plenty of sunbeds around the pool area, and quite a lot of shady areas if you needed them. The bedroom was good size, with a recently renovated bathroom with walk in shower. There is a kettle/cups provided however you have to buy your own coffee/tea supplies as nothing is provided! The outer fridge door opened backwards against the inner door and was quite awkward and a tight squeeze by the bottom of the bed, but nothing that caused any real bother. The buffet restaurant was always well equipped although the evening meals felt a bit repetitive after a couple of days, however there was plenty of choice at both breakfast and evening meals. Be careful going in after 8pm though as often dishes weren't replenished and were often unavailable..at one point a member of staff was cleaning down the hot grill at 8.30pm whilst guests were waiting for hot food., despite the restaurant being open until 9pm. My only real issue relates to drinks in the restaurant. The hotel caters for B & B, Half-board and All-inclusive guests; we were HB and therefore had to pay for all our drinks in both the bar and restaurant, (other than breakfast where everything was included - hot drinks, juice, squash, milk etc) We were happy doing this, either paying at the time of purchase or signing to our room to be paid upon our departure. We generally had a bottle of wine with our evening meal, which we signed to our room. (the choice of wines and price were quite reasonable) On our 2nd evening in the restaurant my partner collected a caraf of still water from the counter that we had seen other guests having. We were immediately approached by a member of staff who told us quite abruptly that we weren't allowed the water as it was for All-inclusive guests only. I pointed out that is was tap water only but he just kept saying ”you are not allowed, All-inclusive guests only”. He then produced a menu and indicated to us the bottle water that we had to order, which we duly did, but felt quite embarrassed as other guests were staring and he made us feel we had tried to do something wrong! I should add that staff at the pool bar were more than happy to provide tap water free of charge throughout the day to all guests, irrelevant of what Board basis they were on, even filling customers personal drinks bottles for them. On one other evening in the restaurant I asked for a glass of Sangria, which was served from a pump along with beer. I was again told that I wasn't allowed as it was for All-Inc guests only- I said that I wanted to pay/sign for the Sangria, but was told that I could only buy it at the bar and was not allowed it in the restaurant! On the whole none of these issues would prevent me from returning to La Geria, however guests shouldn't be made to feel like 2nd class citizens just because t

Having stayed previously in a Diamond Resort complex on the Costa Del Sol we were hoping that Club Del Carmen would offer the same standard of accommodation and it did not disappoint. This is a fantastic small complex in a quiet area of Puerto Del Carmen literally across the road from a fantastic sandy beach. It is a short walk along the coast (5-10mins) to the start of the main ***** but there are bars and restaurants closer. The on site Baily Bar does fantastic quality food, well worth staying on site and having dinner here. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, one bedroom opens onto a terrace with sun loungers. Upstairs there is a living and kitchen area, another shower room with WC, and a balcony with table and chairs. The kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher, kettle, coffee machine, hib and oven and large fridge freezer. Plenty of equipment to self cater if you want to pans pots cutlery etc. The apartment also has iron and ironing board. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. The on site pool is small but the complex is small and the pool never felt overly busy. The sunbed booking system is great means that there's no mad rush. Never an issue securing beds but the complex is so small most people seemed just to bathe on their patio or balcony.. Also the option to have freshly baked pasty and bread delivered to your room is something we used every day. Overall it's a brilliant complex with a great on site bar and restaurant in a fantastic location. All staff were very helpful and friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this complex. It was brilliant.

Wonderful holiday from start to finish because of such a fantastic hotel and all of the staff. The food was fabulous and there was a really good choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and informative, the entertainment team especially Lucia,Franchesca and Phililpe were great fun,friendly and do an amazing job. The facilities were great with something for everyone. We had such a relaxing holiday and we have already recommended this place.

Just back from a 5 night stay. Can’t fault the staff, all lovely! Was in one of the older rooms, clean but very run down (broken socket in the bathroom where the hair dryer is) dangerous! Was told both pools where heated but only one was but that was fine we just used the heated pool as had two kids with me, the cold one was ice cold there was no way they could use it. First four days there was no problem but all of a sudden on the 5th day we were told the kids couldn’t use their swim rings in the pool! No rings or armbands!! They weren’t in anyones way as they where the only ones in the pool! The odd person would get in for a min or two though out the day. I was told they could use the cold pool with their rings but not the warm one! They could stay in the warm pool but had to take their rings off. So they had to just sit on the steps even tho no one else was using the pool! Was absolutely ridiculous

Nice apartment very close to the tourist ***** of PDC. Good shower and bed. Very clean. Quiet. Internet was free and functional. We ate in the restaurant twice for lunch which was nice. Didn’t try breakfast as it was too expensive. Access is via steep hills and lots of steps so not ideal for people with mobility issues but not a problem for our party. Pool was unheated so didn’t use it. If you like PDC then this hotel it worth a look.

After reading reviews was worried about what we had booked into, all I can say it’s what you make it and we had a fantastic extended family holiday. Yes lots of steps but our elderly parents managed fine even been up in the gods. Rooms very out dated and would benefit from some TLC, the views from the rooms are amazing looking out over the sea, absolutely beautiful to sit and relax with a brew in a morning and drinks in the evening. Pool is very deep but there is a small kids pool where ours played all day long with no issues. We were self catering but had many a brunch at the food bar and the food is excellent and reasonable. The resident ducks and one young seagull arrive when the pool closes at 6 which the kids found amazing taking pictures on their iPads. Lovely situated in old town with plenty of bars and places to eat. Life guard that was on during our week stay was fun and we had a good laugh with him. All I can say is no it’s not the Hilton but if it was you would be paying a way lot more. My advise if you have booked this is go and enjoy yourself a holiday is what you make it. I would book again for the location and views.
