Gavimar la Mirada Hotel and Apartments

The whole experience was excellent. All staff were great and efficient. Great quality food and drinks, particularly considering quality cost ratio. All common areas, and room continuously being cleaned. Definitely a place I would like to repeat next year.

Gezellig hotel met vriendelijk personeel. Het eten was lekker en voldoende gevarieerd (vlees, vis, show cooking). Het appartement (met een aparte slaapkamer) was ruim en netjes. Alle comfort was voorzien. Het hotel is echt zeer mooi gelegen, vlakbij (100m) een idyllisch baaitje met bijbehorend strand en een gezellige bar/terras (not included). Avondmarkt op donderdag (alleen in 't seizoen ?) en klein centrum met alle horeca en winkeltjes. Bereikbaar met een toeristisch treintje (halte bij 't hotel): de zeer mooie jachthaven, zeker een bezoek waard. Wij geven een score van 8.5/10.

Honestly I don't know where to even start.This hotel is terrible, dirty room,invasion of ant's everywhere even in a little bedside table,towels grey and really worn, dirty,faulty fridge covered with rust, smells really badly. Fire alarm went on 3 nights in a row, the worst is a salty water in a shower, almost impossible to take a shower, we have been supplying ourselves with a water from supermarket to clean at least a bit as normal. Food cold,disgusting ,especially breakfast and dinner, very limited selection, we did not tried a swimming pool snacks bar as only from the look of it pushed you away. Hotel full of Germans, really rude 😒 Please avoid, I wouldn't come back even if is a free holiday. Only location is great, central and very close to the restaurants, bars and a beautiful beach ⛱️

TERRIBLE STAY!! Still here at present. Hotel is disgusting and dirty. Ants running in your bed. Yellow shower curtain & mould. Dirty cutterly & cups. Maids just make your bed & don't clean properly I've had to ask for clean towels and to empty my bathroom bin & mop my floor! Disgraceful. The food is rotten! We have eaten out every day and night because the food is that diabolical!! Breakfast is put out under lamps at midnight and left there for 7 hours.. not fresh by morning bread has flies on it & the salad is dried up! Pulled the sofa bed out in which I found crumbs and filth all down the side and spilt drinks which have been there for some time built up! Hence why this hotel has a infestation of ants!!! The customers are all German and RUDE! Stare at you like you have 5 heads & there is no entertainment what so ever!! Paid £1500 for two people to stay here and we've spent £1000 on our ten day stay due to having to leave this hotel day and night because it's that AWFUL! I would not recommend anyone to stay here. The hotel is very poor it needs a 0 star not 3! I will never ever return to this hotel or this area. Worst ten days of my life. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! Save your money!!!!! You have to walk round your hotel room in shoes at all times cause the filth on the floor sticks to your feet.

We spent 12 days in this plessant 3 star hotel.... My review is not for the hotel as an accommodation, is 3 star hotel, very good maintament, rooms were cleaned eberyday, dated but clean... My review is mostly for the kitchen... I travel a lot and never ever met somewhere, even in 5 star hotels, kitchen like this in Gavimar la Mirada PERFECT... every day different and ssoooooooo delicious.... Thank you la Mirada it was pleasure to stay in your hotel. THANK YOU!!!p

Pros. Staff all friendly and helpful especially the manager and eddie the barman. Good location. Plenty of sunbeds and areas to sunbathe. A refundable euro for cup/plate saves a lot of mess. Comfy beds. Cons. Entertainment was probably the worst we have seen, the guy during the day just couldnt be bothered, joined in one game and it took me longer to put my t shirt on than the game lasted. A new girl started while we there and she was a lot better. Evening was shocking too, mini disco...no fun for kids, adult entertainment was worse, no interaction with kids or adults. Food was just bog standard A.I. nothing special. Drinks the same. Rooms are dated, showering in salty water is not good at all, this should be stated while booking, two of our party have eczema and struggled. Towels are thread bare and full of holes. Would we return....NO!!!!

Lovely hotel great food. Let down by the entertainment during the day, we are new here and speaking to other guests they have said they are bored. Same darts and volleyball every day!! Nobody played today. Doesn’t that tell you something!! Where is the variation!! Let’s have some aquafit, water volleyball, water polo! Come on, it’s not that difficult and you have still time to give some guests a great holiday if you liven it up now, it’s not too late to make some easy changes

The hotel is central to everything which is good, but the place needs totally updating. The hotel is tatty and somethings are dirty like the fidges and shower curtains in the rooms. There was also ants in the room, by reading other reviews, it wasnt just my room. The biggest let down was the food, it's disgusting, and the same stuff daily, not much choice, it's so boring, you don't even want to go in there. Its that bad, that one day they had burgers on the pool bar and were making burgers in the restaurant...really??!! We went out to eat quite a lot. The beaker thing is a pain, but it did save a member of staff collecting glasses and rubbish. The smoking outside thing was also a pain, and in my opinion looked awful from the outside, it made it look cheap and tacky, which the hotel is. There is plently of spare sunbathing terraces on the top level, that would not of effected anyone, if one became a designated smoking area. Would l go back again?............not even for a free holiday.

Just on our way home from a week at La Mirada, our second visit (first time around 3 years ago). Four adults and two children, aged 5 and 18 months. The staff were all so friendly and always made a fuss of my nephews, the pool was clean and well maintained, with plenty of sun loungers. We all eat pretty healthily and my eldest nephew is type 1 diabetic and we always found something to eat, plenty of choice and replenished frequently. The drinks were fine with plenty of choice. There was a €1 deposit for a plastic cup and plate, which we had back at the end and meant that there was no rubbish lying around. We stayed in one bedroom apartments and they were cleaned every day and fresh towels left. We had a huge terrace with table and chairs and a fridge, which was handy for drinks. The location is ideal for sightseeing/beach days or eating out and the land train is worth a ride on, into Cala D'or or just to see the area and marina. There was daily entertainment, but we didn't take part, but my nephew enjoyed the mini disco and parrot show at night. We loved our week and will definitely be back. Thank you
