Return again and again 👍
Just returned from another visit to this hotel and it was again a fantastic experience, the staff throughout the hotel were helpful, courteous and professional in their day to day efforts to ensure our visit was enjoyable, like any business there is always room for improvement but reception was always there to assist when required and if possible to fix any problem, the rush for sunbeds definitely needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured but I would say that later in the year and indeed earlier I have never experienced this problem. Over the years we have made many freinds with various members of staff and this year was no different but a special shout out for recent employee Sandra who worked at pool bar daytime and Bar lounge in the evening IMO she was the epitome of what you would want as an employee if you managed the hotel or as we were guests of the hotel , thanks again Albir Playa & Spa for a great 10 day stay the Cormie's Dave & Alison ... the Hamill's Leonard,Sara and Sophie ...until the next time chee rs

Avoid this place at all costs!
We came as a family of 3, stayed at the albir playa. Unfortunately the hotel was not what we expected!! Firstly, the pool doesn’t open until 10am, they put tape in place at the top of the outdoor stairs for everyone to queue and wait for it to open at 10am. It is so embarrassing it is like the grand national race to get a bed. It is so dangerous people are pushing each other to get down the steps and running for sunbeds! It’s a complete accident waiting to happen! I was personally pushed over by another person grappling for a bed that I was heading towards. Not great if you are unsteady on your feet, if you are Usain Bolt you’ll be fine. Unfortunately if you don’t get to a bed quick enough then you’ll spend the rest of your day with no sun bed. We booked half board with the option to change from evening meal to lunch. Found staff to be very unhelpful and rude when asking to change option on the same day, they actually refused us entry. Had breakfast once, food was very poor bacon almost broke my tooth and the food was cold, not a great selection either. Very disappointing as we then ate out for every meal. We stayed in a deluxe room, which on arrival reception stated the mini bar (soft drinks and crisps) would be replenished daily. Unfortunately they only replenished this once during our 7 night stay. Rooms were generally clean and basic Avoid at all costs, not worth the money or frustration! Worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in.

very nice stay
we stayed here for a week, rooms were very nice and spacious and we found the staff to be very friendly! cocktails by the pool were very nice and bar food at lunch time was also very enjoyable!
we booked full board- the food wasn’t that varied e.g. for fussier eaters or children who may eat pizza or nuggets there isn’t much selection only chips and bread. as someone who is not fussy i also struggled to find things to eat due to a lack of variety. however the fruit and ice creams were very nice!
we found out when we arrived you had to pay a deposit and a fee for the pool towel as well as a charge it €2 to change them, so i would recommend taking your own towel.
pool was bigger than it looks on the photos and it was very quiet around the pool as well! sun loungers were so easy to get so there’s no need to get up early to get a sunbed as there is plenty!
the location is also very convenient as there is a lidl right next to it where you can get your own drinks and snacks! and only a 10 minute walk to the beach! felt very safe at this hotel and had a great holiday here!!
Ridiculously noisy
Rooms and reception area OK for the price. Staying on B&B tariff and the breakfast buffet is poor. For example, one day there was decent Serrano ham but today there were 3 types of reformed pink ham that wouldn't look out of place in an Asda smart price packet. You know the type with a teddy bear's face on it, 12% meat, 88% connective tissue/fat. This is not me being fussy, this is simply low quality produce. And the sausages... I would not feed to a dog. Pool area is stupidly noisy as there seems to be about 100 kids on a school trip here. Teachers in the bar? Certainly nowhere to be seen, so we have to endure their permanent screaming. My idea of hell, just off to get my earbuds

Definitely going adults only next time!
Used to be a nice hotel. Visited in 2026 and 2020. Rooms are still ok. Breakfast no way near as good as it used to be, but still passable The issue is there is currently a school or football party of about 80 kids in the hotel. Ages about 8-14. No teachers or supervision visible. When they descend on the pool, imagine the noise. I understand kids make noise but this is ridiculous. Like I say, will not stay here again, will go adults only next time as I don't find being around 50 unsupervised screaming children very relaxing.
