Abora Continental by Lopesan

As a repeat guest it was nice to return to the Continental since the refurbishment and to see the familiar faces. However, I was a little disappointed as follows: 1. The food, no matter what time you went into the dining hall was only warm. This WAS NEVER the case prior to the refurb. 2. I stayed in room 238. I will never accept this room again as although it is a twin room it is by far the smallest room that I have stayed in before. 3. The refurbishment hin my room had been carried out poorly. There was paint on the wallpaper, the shower tray leaked and the colour scheme was dark and depressing. Before the walls were painted white and were bright. 3. There were never any corridor lights switched on until the evening on the second floor. 4. The corridor carpet was in need of a good clean and once again the colour scheme was dark e.g. grey and the walls looked in need of a repaint. 5. The quality and choice of the food was excellent, but as previously stated it was not always hot. You should not need to use a microwave to heat your food at 08.00 or at 18.00 when the dining room opens. 6. Since the refurbishment the hotel staffing appeared to me to have been reduced. 7. As always the staff in all areas of the hotel are very hard working, helpful, polite, cheerful and professional. The hotel is very clean. 8. Evening entertainment has got worse, lack of professional shows from outside as was the case before. 9. Would book a deluxe room next stay. 10. Unsure if the new look 'IKEA' furniture will stand the test of time. Already some very ignorant guests are putting their bare feet up onto tables and sofas in the bar/lounge area and unlike before, a lot if guests DO JOT make an effort to dress smartly for dinner. Overall a great stay as always and I will be returning as I have enjoyed wonderful holidays at this hotel.

We spent 10days at this hotel and I have to say the staff from front desk to housekeeping where polite and friendly lovely pool area and great location 2min from beach and close to bars and restaurants

Every single member of the staff go the extra mile to give satisfaction. Every aspect of this hotel is an absolute pleasure. Every thing is excellent. I've been prompted that I must use at least 200 characters, so I will. We booked with Jet 2 holidays through a local Hays travel agent who are usually very precise, however, on this occasion there was no mention of a credit card being required as part of the check-in process, alternately a cash deposit of 50 Euros is acceptable. The flight and transfer were punctual and the check-in procedure is quick, informative and pleasant. We were in room 205 with a sea view and sun in the morning. the hotel is a few minutes walk from some bars, shops and a walk, to the right, along a promenade above the beach toward Playa Del Ingles. Thea buses to various other resorts are often frequent and are, naturally, air conditioned. The pool and garden areas are accessible to all, very popular without the seemingly scramble for sun loungers. The food choice is extensive and delicious, their is a micro wave for those who like their food hot and lager, red, white rose, sangria and soft drinks are available at lunch and dinner. The animation team were entertaining at various times, children and aqua- robics during most mornings and afternoon ans evenings and more for adults after 9 PM, and VERY LOUD!. mostly in Spanish but there was a very eclectic mix of guests who enjoyed the shows. I'm going to click 'submit' but I don't know how many characters I've used! It must be more than 200!
