Very nice beach front hotel. Good food but a noisy restaurant. Good size room very clean everywhere. Friendly staff. Beach very gritty no good for children but nice pool with kids facilities. Nice promenade for walking and cycling. Not much of interest in the town and the countryside is grim full of polytunnels no good for walking. Excellent for a week to 10 days stay Robert Cambridge

“Relaxing week in the sun”

This is our second time at the Best Sabina, again for half term, and I will go back next year too. We went for a week all inclusive. Firstly, the hotel itself is spotless, staff are continually cleaning, whether that be in the restaurant, bar or by the pool. Rooms are clean and comfortable and all have a fridge in which is handy. Food again is fine, there is always something to eat, it’s warm, and there is a chef at the end cooking various things fresh, including wok food. There is a snack bar, where the lady cooks it all fresh to order. This is the normal stuff, chips, burgers, toasties etc etc with sandwiches and cakes. The bar is great, good measures with proper brands, again staff are friendly and quick. You can also get crisps, nuts and olives with the all inclusive which is great. You also get a selection of ice lollies and ice creams, slushes and milkshakes too. Location wise, the hotel is right on the beach and there is a promenade where you can walk to the harbour or towards the bulk of the hotels. There are a selection of shops and bars near by and a large supermarket up the road which has a good selection or spirits if you want to take them home. Thee is also a children’s entertainment area near the hotel with rides and trampolines. The only reason I have given it a 4 is because the entertainment is not my cup of tea. The entertainment staff were on it all day and can’t be faulted for children and adults.This is a very Spanish resort and so is geared towards the Spanish. But if you want a week in the sun with family that is value for money this is the hotel for you. I haven’t been in main season, so things maybe different? However I will be going again as the resort and hotel for a week in the sun is great.

“One week stay was enough half board”

Very clean hotel and reception staff very helpful. We had large room at back of hotel which meant the room didn’t get too hot, late evening sun on balcony was nice.

Very clean hotel and reception staff very helpful. We had large room at back of hotel which meant the room didn’t get too hot, late evening sun on balcony was nice. The beds were comfortable and the shower hot. We had half board thank goodness as the food was not up to usual standard of other hotels we have booked through Tui. One huge surprise was that only bottled water available for the evening meal which cost an extra 2.40 euros per bottle. There was no free tap water available however in the mornings the machine was switched on for breakfast so water was available. Food was not hot enough and the organisation in the dining room was haphazard. Did not appear to have anyone in charge. At breakfast by the cereal counter, plates were stored instead of bowls. Lots of people walking around trying to find things. The evening entertainment started at 10.30pm which was very late for us. No separate quiet room for reading or playing cards, could not see anything else to do. Tv had very limited channels mainly news. We went out most evenings for drinks and took bus to Almeria one day which was 2 euros each way. About 50 mins very easy as bus stop close to hotel. Good walks along the prom both ways.

“Lovely hotel and staff but food needs massive improvements!”

The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. Everything in the hotel was very clean and the pool area was kept very well too.

The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. Everything in the hotel was very clean and the pool area was kept very well too. There was no mad rush for the pool area to put towels down, as there are plenty of beds to go around! The food was atrocious. Everything was cold, even ‘fresh’ chips that were coming out from the kitchen. The cheese doesn’t even melt on the pizza, even after being put in the microwave for 90seconds (and this was just to warm the pizza!!) Pudding one night was a chocolate fountain but the profiteroles were frozen and the ones that weren’t, were mush!! Overall I’d rate the food 3/10! TV channels for English - there are 5 channels, 4 of which are news! No variety at all! Finally, the entertainment was very lacklustre, very little for English guests! If you do go, I would recommend you go for the lowest board and eat at the local restaurants in the area, as we did in the end, which cost us more money!
