Stayed at the plaza 10-17 May. Great location for old town and 15-20 minute walk to new. We’ve stayed at many hotels Barcelo Beach (feb25) , RH Princessa, h10, Villa Del Mar to name a few all stunning and 4 star. ||We found reception staff to be rude especially the men. Room, restaurant, bar and Jose staff smiley and friendly. We had 2 rooms on half board 621/602 both doubles. On arrival at 130am, 621 smelt awful and musky. Our double was 2 singles pushed together and made up as singles, the mattresses were thin and squeaked. In the morning and light we noticed the flaws, the bathroom is tiny. Size doesn’t matter but the configuration is an accident waiting to happen. You need to manoeuvre a small gap from the shower screen and bidet when the floor gets wet and then the risk of hitting your head between the wc and sink unit in the tight space. Toiletries are provided but but look cheap in their presentation. Bring your own hairdryer as the room offering is the 1970s hose. Outside the room, in the hall the painted wall at the bottom was all peeling. Room 602 was of similar size, but the bathroom was better laid out. ||Food|Breakfast- there will be something to eat (cereal, fruit, cooked etc) but compared to the other hotels, the choice is very limited. There is no omelette station and the hot food is generally lukewarm. If you are half board you do have the option to swap lunch for dinner, which is a positive.||The pool- the winter cover was on when we arrived so had to pay €3 each for swimming cap. Seems silly to insist on that but not to shower before entering. I think it was another money making scheme, as 2 days later the pool cover was removed and no caps required. The pool is a nice size and there were plenty of sunbeds but because of the position of the hotel and adjacent buildings, the pool and terrace are in shade at different times of the day. ||WiFi free but poor, you have to pay a daily fee for the safe and a deposit which is refundable. Check out is 12pm, we have a late flight and asked to pay and extend 1 room. Unfortunately this could not be accommodated, although we were informed luggage could be stored and showers available by the gym.||Overall, would I stay again definitely not. Apart from location, there are many other 4 star hotels with better rooms, food and staff.
