Good - spacious, clean apartments with seaview terrace or balcony, good value for money.
Bad - Quality and choice at buffet meals inconsistent, English hardly spoken in hotel as predominantly German guests.
Rating - 8 out of 10
We stayed for 7 nights at the Morasol Atlantico Aparthotel in November 2007 at a cost of £276 for 2 guests in a one bedroom apartment on half board. It was good value for money as the apartment was a good size with a huge sun terrace. Although the kitchen facilities were limited with only 2 electric rings, a coffee maker, a toaster and a fridge. There was a sea view but this was partly obscured by the building opposite. It took less than 5 minutes to walk down to the beautiful beach, one of the best beaches that we visited on the island.
The hotel was totally geared towards German guests, with the staff and other guests assuming that everyone was German. All the hotel notices were in German. Personally I didn’t really have a problem with this but if you like to spend time chatting and socialising with other holiday makers this could be an issue. The whole resort appears to have a very high percentage of German guests.
The buffet breakfast and dinner varied greatly from day to day. There was more choice of food at breakfast than at dinner. For dinner there was one soup, a few bowls of salad, a choice of two main courses, one fish and one meat, and one or two desserts such as creme caramel or apple cake slices. Breakfast was rather haphazard with unreliable coffee and juice machines and when items such as fried eggs or yoghurt ran out there was a long wait for replinishment. However you have to bear in the mind the price that you pay and overall the meals were acceptable.
I would recommend the apartments for the standard of accommodation and accessibility to the beach. I’m not sure about the half board option you’d really have to look at the difference in price between self catering and half board to make the decision. I didn’t notice many restaurants in the resort but there is a well stocked Spar store just beside the apartments.
I booked the apartment through Medhotels. You can search for the best rates at the HotelsCombined price comparison site.
