Ver mixed, and sadly a miss. Three generations including a toddler were all well looked after. The staff were incredibly helpful, starting at check in with Ingrid. There was plenty for the adults including classic Hard Rock touches with the memorabilia. Plenty for the toddler, with kid friendly playground and pools. The food (half board) was incredible with plenty to choose from. I spent a day in the Rock Spa, and while I enjoyed my treatment, the jacuzzi and outdoor pool could have been warmer. However the staff were incredible. The non spa pools were not warm either, but as it's December, not surprised. We had a gold level room on the 12th floor which had stunning views of the sea and the mountains.
Now the bad bit which is why I won't be returning... I was expecting classic music and rock, in keeping with the Hard Rock theme. The music, especially by the pools was very loud, rave infused dance beats that appealed to nobody, which is the opposite of what I would expect from the Hard Rock. They have seemed to have lost their way in terms of music genres. A miss for all generations. It's also quite obnoxious with how they charge far too much for everything that isn't included in the half board. A plastic cup of beer, which isn't even a pint cost €9. We got into a disagreement with the dinner staff who tried to charge us €6 for a bottle of tap water. We had to escalate it to management that it is actually illegal to charge for tap water under a 2022 ammended Spanish law! They said it was policy and unsurprisingly, the hotel is now under new management who has hiked the prices. The hotel is stunning, the staff is awesome, but there is an undercurrent of greedy money grabbing going on. Sadly I won't be back, which is a shame. Having spent nearly £4k for a week's family holiday, it's bit rich to charge €9 for a cup of warm beer and try to chanrge for tap water.
