Iberostar Waves Pinos Park

Ideal proximity to beach

Waves Pinos is set in a gorgeous location next to a cove with a beach and clear blue water. It’s a public beach, but never felt crowded. We didn’t bother with hiring beds at the beach as it felt safe enough to leave items with a beach towel on the rock jettys. This also avoided the sand as it can get extremely hot on the beach. Ouch! We always found something great to eat. The quality wasn’t necessarily as high as I’d expected but there were plenty of choices and the upper dining area had lovely views. The only factor to consider are the number of young children staying here. We travelled end June for a long wknd and the hotel was filled with babies and toddlers. It’s to be expected at this time of year, I understand but as there aren’t dedicated pools for adults/older children, it does influence the experience guests without children or older children have. There are frequent spills on walk areas as a result, which might be helped from more regular cleaning. Having said that, the staff were amazing-attentive and friendly, the room was well presented and serviced and the water dispensers across site were an excellent addition. Thank you Waves Pinos for our lovely break away!!

The hotel's attractive grounds feature an abundance of plants. Its proximity to the beach and the restaurant's direct view of the sea are wonderful. The reception staff are friendly, competent, and helpful. Unfortunately, the restaurant service staff were overworked in the evening, so service was sometimes slow. The rooms were noisy, and almost all of the guests were families with children, which made it loud at times during breakfast and dinner.

We had no idea that this hotel catered to families with young children. There were babies everywhere and our room was dark with our small patio across from a cement wall. Very few rooms had a view and those were reserved for families!
