Iberostar Selection Albufera Park - All Inclusive

Resort was perfect for kids, they had a blast! As a gluten free traveller, we travelled all the way from Canada to go to this resort due to its reviews/food safety. Hats off to Chef Miguel, who walked me around the buffet to show me exactly what was safe to eat. He did this without making me feel like I was interfering or bothering him from his busy schedule. His courteous manner made the service from great to excellent! He made my trip, he made me confident that what I was eating was safe, would tell me all of the food that was able to be made in the kitchen - personal pizzas, hot French fries, pasta. The family rooms were excellent/clean. The black out blinds were good (bring a sleep mask if you’re really sensitive). The room’s air conditioning wasn’t operating properly or at all when we first arrived. The first night was quite hot, they brought a fan. They fixed it but it never really reached super cool temps like in most hotels. They instructed me to leave the temp at 18 degrees but it was probably still in the 23-24 degree range. Some reviews have said the same thing about rooms not getting cool enough. There was sometimes a smell that seemed to emanate when the AC was on, not sulphur smell but something like that. It could have been just just our room. Pillows were oldly skinny, half the height of a regular pillow (could be more comfortable). Christina (guest services) helped as best she could. Overall, resort was great for its 4 star rating.

Amazing family friendly resort, staff and cleanliness fantastic

As a family of four, two children ages 6 and 10, this was a great spot to end our travels through Europe. The staff were friendly, the property was spacious and clean, and the pools for the children were great. The main buffet restaurants were nice and there was a nice variety everyday at meal times with plenty of options for the kids. We got a garden floor room and that was a great spot- it was conveniently located and we were able to access things easily. The only downside side is getting reservations at the restaurants was not easy and they fill up quickly. The beach was beautiful! Overall, it was a great experience and we had a really nice time as a family there.

This was our second stay at the hotel as a family of four , kids aged 4 & 8. The range of pools is fantastic, the kids loved all the entertainers they encountered. The variety and quality of food offered from the buffets to a la carte restaurants is impressive, our favourite was the lunchtime BBQ grill. All staff members from the towel lady to the cocktail makers were on top form 24/7. Having the beach 30 seconds from the hotel is a luxury that we used to our benefit by watching several sun rises. The hotel is rated 4 star, but its much closer to a 5 star than 4! Only Ikos would rival this hotel. We're already discussing whether to go again next year !
