Stayed 22/29 May24|I had read reviews of this hotel on here prior to arriving.|Upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised. |Though the hotel is a little dated, in need of some tlc in places, but my initial thought was nice clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. |We hadn’t paid a lot for a week, we were B&B |( this was decided after reading reviews again on here about food) |We arrived about 11am but weren’t allowed in our room till 3pm. If I had been all inclusive at this point I would have been annoyed as you are not allowed to start your all inclusive offer until you receive your room cards (3pm) |We had packed swim wear ready to use the facilities as soon as we arrived. |There are 6 pools in total 3 main pools,2 little ones pools and a deep smaller pool. |We chose the pool near the water slides and children’s splash area. Great size.|This area was only open from 10.30-2.30 as not hight of season. Our girls (9 &11) were happy with the Pool and the water slides which we’re working and not busy at all. |We stayed here till our room was ready (3pm) |We paid extra to have a “separate room” |The layout of these rooms are a little odd though… (room 1111) walk in to short corridor, nice size bathroom on right with good wardrobe space opposite.|You walk through in to main bedroom. The separate room is then in front of that through a sliding door where 2 single beds are and then there is another sliding door out to the balcony. |Room was generally tidy and clean beds were comfortable. |Whilst there was a room “blower” heating and cooler system , it wasn’t that cool the air, and would be interesting to see what it was like in the height of summer, I’d like to add that the system only did the main room and not the room with single beds in, at night the room with the single bed in would get very warm! |There was a small fridge in the room which I thought was a bonus, but the room had no kettle, which I thought was disappointing. |As we were bed and breakfast, we went out that evening in the resort of Lorett de mar.|If you want to eat Burgers, kebabs and pizza for the whole of your holiday then bed and breakfast is for you!|If not then trust me, you need to try the food in the hotel! I will explain more later. We had McDonalds that night.|Breakfast!!|Coffee great!|Fruit juice awful!|Typical European breakfast |Not great bacon and sausages but hey, we are not in the uk! Beans scrambled eggs fried eggs good, fresh melon, cereals, croissant, other pastries,muffins, toast, hams and cheeses etc.|There is something for everyone. We have one girl who eats and tries anything and one very fussy, both ate well.|On our second day we decided to explore Lorett some more for food places.|There are some quite nice places along the sea front that do fish, but the more we looked the more pizza and fast food places we found, oh and there were some steak places. |After a couple of nights in the resort we decided to pay to go all inclusive at the hotel.|We had had enough of fast food and wanted something different.|I would like to say that we enjoyed all that was on offer from the hotel at lunch and dinner.|There was variety, salads, vegetables, turkey one night, pork another, paella, pasta with bolognese, carbonara, pizza.|The girls wanted chips one night and the kitchen staff cooked some.|I for one was impressed ( after reading some of the reviews on here) with the food at the hotel, and actually if I hadn’t read the reviews and gone all inclusive in the first place I would have been happy and actually would have saved £££|Don’t get me wrong, I have done an all inclusive in turkey were the food was out of this world, but that was £2000 more!|Funny enough I had a conversation with a guy with regards to the quality of the hotel, he wasn’t impressed… showed me a picture of titanic hotel in turkey…. Yes I said but how much did you pay for that and how much did you pay for this!!’|On the whole this is not a 4 star hotel as it shows out the front. But it is a nice hotel, and good value for money.|Personally Lorett de mar needs a massive upgrade but we enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
