Hotel Playa del Karma

The staff were welcoming and kind! Great location and good price.

The rooms were a little run down and need renovation, one of our rooms smelled very bad. The free massage was nothing special.

- the bed was HUGE and honestly the comfiest bed I've ever slept in! - you could sleep with the air conditioning on because it didn't make noise (thank God!) - the breakfast is served at a hipster bar that is 2 minutes away. The food, the staff and the service were all excellent, and the place is beautifully decorated. Sure, there are only a few things that are included: scrambled eggs with ham, ham and cheese toast or a fruit platter (which is very small). I guess it helped that we had excursions booked, so we couldn't go every day and get bored of it. But it's a really nice venue, we went back there for lunch too - the dinner snack is just a taco served at a place which is 5 mins away, I'm pretty sure the owner is self-advertising

- The property has only one major fault: it needs some URGENT refurbishment. To be honest, it would take them no time at all to get it sorted, even if they take care of just one room at a time - expect a bit of a funny smell in the room due to the humidity in the air (that should also go away with the refurbishment I would think!) - the daily cleaning involved only making the bed (in all sorts of ingenious ways to be fair), but there was no mopping or sweeping being done, which I think is necessary. - the towels weren't changed every day either, and I wasn't too comfortable with throwing them on the bathroom floor given what I just mentioned. They were only changed once, and that was when I left them on the bed before going out - the shower is very basic and at first glance you feel like it belongs into a museum. My mum had a bit of a shock when she saw it and she wanted to leave and find somewhere else. Luckily she got used to the rustic feel of the place - the coffee choices are espresso or americano, the machine doesn't make any lattes or cappuccinos. No milk was provided either. My parents loved it as they can't live without their morning coffee, whereas I kind of went cold turkey for a week - the pool is beautiful, but mostly just there for decoration - we requested 2 rooms together as I booked one for my parents, and one for myself and my partner. They gave us rooms in opposite sides of the building, couldn't be any further away lol
