Arena Castillo

Alba and Reme were both so welcoming and friendly definitely an asset to the hotel

In general, I enjoyed this place. I was travelling alone- to sunbathe and do remote work: Good: - room was big- it was actually 2 full rooms, with a kitchenette, large bathroom (surprisingly small shower), living area, bedroom, second toilet, 2 balconies - the kitchenette was well stocked with plates, cutlery, glasses, etc. they do not do washing up for you, however I found on the second day there was washing up liquid, sponge, etc. under the sink - multiple sunbathing spots. I didn’t want to be around kids, but there were other, large sunbathing spots in quieter areas where I didn’t see a kid all day - staff are super friendly - lots of bars, restaurants and shops around to get food, drink, etc. Bad: - on a couple of evenings, my balconies were inundated with bugs (large grasshoppers, beetles, etc., but no cockroaches!!) - these bugs did sometimes flock to the sunbathing areas too- not a huge amount, but enough to annoy me - the deadbolt on my door didn’t work. After recent U.K. news, this worried me a little, however I did not have any issues - everything extra you have to pay for- late check out, towels by the pool, etc. I was prepared and had corresponding flight times to check-in/out, but these things would have annoyed me - patchy WiFi. Excellent in my room, but not necessarily in public areas. I could always find WiFi but not always where my preference to sunbathe was - cleaning could be inconsistent

Hotel has a convenient location, room was clean. Can’t tell about the food as we only had accommodation booked. The reception staff was not very attentive but the check in went very quick

Great location, clean and modern. Shame the rooftop bar closes at 8 as stays hot well into the evening in Caleta. Day beds are free to use which is great and the cocktails were lovely
