Just returned from this awful place-almost traumatised! This place is the worst i've ever had the misfortune to have paid good money to be insulted. firstly, we arrived late to this hell and therefore it was morning when we realised that it was a haven for OAP's with zimmer frames at breakfast. I'm not quite that old yet and felt a little out of place. On the notice board bingo (in spanish] was the "entertainment" along with ballroom dancing! Nearly cried! On arrival, we were given a rules and regulation handout. On this information such as meal times and the times of the bar was printed. We opted for the all inc before going and noticed that the bar closed at 12 midnight and thought the time was good. However, one particular barman made it very obvious that he did not like the Brits and was very rude to a number of people. He asked me if I wore a watch sneeringly and sarcastically when I asked for a Cola at 11:05. They changed the rules and closed the bar at 11pm- When I pointed out that the bar openings were printed, They pretended that they did not understand English- although understood how to speak with sarcasm! I am not a lager lout and drink little or no alcohol but the bar really was the only entertainment!. I tried to ask for things in Spanish at all times. Meal times were worse! After selecting food from a {limited and tastless] buffet, you would be ushered out of your seat and herded along with other brits with wrist bands to alternative seats. This happened every night and you were never sure where to sit as the head waiter kept changing his mind and barked in spanish. He just kept "moving the goalpost." As other poster has said, no reps or outside contacts, nothing to do,awful beach, awful hotel. I could go on but I think you get the gist. It was the second most miserable week of my life. The other being stuck in hospital with an infection. Go at your peril !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“NIce Hotel, Shame About The Guests”

Caleta Palace

Just returned from a week at the Caleta Palace. Check in very quick and easy, we had access to our room immediately. Room itself was great - absolutely huge and very clean.

Staff at the hotel were nice enough - limited English spoke but language barrier never a problem as long as you were pleasant.

Food was somewhat hit & miss. Odd things were not cooked fully & there were some odd selections on the menu such as pigs trotters & neck of lamb. For me this was not a problem but didn't strike me as normal Spanish tourist food!

Main criticism of the Caleta Palace was it's guests. Several English guests were very rude & ignorant towards the staff. For the second half of our stay the hotel was filled with 4 coach loads of Spanish boys. We were then kept awake until 4am on 3 nights whilst they caused chaos. Complaints were made to the hotel reception but nothing done.

Overall I would have no hesitation in going back to the hotel, I would just hope for nicer guests on our next stay!

have just came back worst holiday ever staff not interested in english people would go as far as saying they hated all british visitors, no reps no contact number to get hold of one,not allowed to get 2 drinks at bar only one so every couple had to get one each so everyone had to go in pairs,they would not even let a lady who took 2 disabled people on holiday get them a drink she had to push them up one at a time to get them a drink and then go a third time to get her own. no shop or hairdressers.stood at reception waiting to speak to some one and they served all spanish people that came up afterwards when complained they shouted they did not intend to help us, and carried on shouting across foyer after we gave up and went away.seemed to think we were getting everything for nothing even though we had already payed for the services

the staff here are very rude,they ignore you if possible,when you complain it gets worse . we wanted a relaxing time as my husband is partly disabled,we didnt arrive untill 12.15at night, they had now idea who we wereand spent one hour finding us a room,which was terrible,, when i asked for a little water for husbands tablets they refused.saying bar was closed. things did get a little better next daythey gave the room we should of had night before,but staff didnt know how to use computor ,, it was only one drink per person, hence i had to return to bar twice to get my spouse his drink ,i did try to speak there language so i was not rude back if your british do not go to this hotel , if your spanish you will have a wonderful time,, and all inclusive doesnt mean that,,,check first,,,,oh and there are no reps available,we were there a week and we only had two nights of entertainment ,wont go back and advise others not to,
