Gavimar Ariel Chico Hotel and Apartments

Just got home from 10 nights at this hotel like others was abit cautious due to past reviews on arrival we were given our room but unfortunately that was not to our expectations due to the lenth of time we were staying however the lady on reception was so accommodating and after 2 more rooms the 3 was more than what we expected the staff in this hotel are all friendly and nothings to much trouble even the cleaning staff swop towels at request and supply extra toilet rolls when required the food is good and there's always a wide choice the only negative thing I could possibly say is that the entertainment of a night could be better on that though I would consider returning back again

I read the reviews on this hotel and was looking forward to few days away with my sister at what I thought was going to be a nice relaxing stay, however I feel the need to write an honest review about this place. We arrived approximately at 12 mid day and was told our room was ready for us although the usual check in time was 2 o’clock. Great. When we got to our room it was very dated and looked like it was meant for self catering, although no kettle. The bathroom was old and the bath had long seen better days as well as the shower. The TV was above the bed so there was no way of watching it as it was up the end of the pillows and there was a third bed at the other end. The balcony was very open with no privacy from rooms either side and the view was of the street so was a bit noisy. We were informed the cleaner would be in 3 times a week. ( well weren’t actually told we overheard reception telling someone else) when actually our room wasn’t cleaned once. The stairs outside the room were not swept once. Towels were changed but ours actually had mould on them!! Restaurant was ok ish, breakfast and lunch were edible but evening meal was awful every night we were there. There were groups of children in the restaurant alone who were loud and taking up lots of tables all unaccompanied by adults, the same was said for around one of the pool areas playing loud music without an adult in sight. It’s 1 euro deposit for a plastic cup for drinks, which actually carries on in the evening as well. There’s no nice area to sit on the evening and not a comfy chair in sight. On our last day we decided to keep the room because we had a later flight, we paid our euros and was told we had to give our band back at 10 am because we had checked in early!! ( as I previously wrote they let us check in early) if this was the case surely we should’ve been able to keep the band till 12!! I have to say Carole on reception was probably on par with a doctors receptionist!! Don’t get me wrong Cala Dor is lovely but this hotel I would avoid at all costs.

Lo que más le ha gustado a mi hijo Autista ha sido el animador, Jose se gana a pulso a los niños y a los mayores, hemos estado muy agusto y disfrutado, las pequeñeces por mejorar se olvidan cuando te cuidan, volveremos, nos hemos quedado con ganas de usar las preciosas piscinas, todo el personal lo mejor del hotel 💖
