Located just on the edge of the town a 4 minute walk to the shops but plenty of resteraunts and bars along the way. Right on the sandy beech and a lovely walk to the sea. Rooms all on the 1st 2nd and 3rd floors served by lifts and stairs are very big and most of them all looked the same as ours with 2 aircon units, a living area with a fold out bed/setee, large TV, table & chairs and a access to the balcony. Kitchen, with a fridge, microwave, kettle, cups, glasses, cutlery & a hob. Bathroom with bath/shower, 2 sinks joined together, soap and hand lotion, large mirror, toilet and bidet. Bedroom was 2 large singlebeds pushed together, very comfy, extra blankets and pillows if needed, a smaller TV, wardrobes and draws, a free safe in the cupboard, and access to the same balcony which has a table and chairs and a dryer for your swimming cossy. Pool up on the 1st floor large cold water and unheated pool is a suntrap, cold in the winter months but didnt bother sone bathers. Poolbar opens at 10:30 with self service beer, wine and soda and spirits off the bartender. Bar snacks served in the afternoon. Food is served on the ground floor in the buffet resteraunt, some same food was on every night with different mains like steaks, pork chops, full prawns and crabs. For the sweet tooth theres a variety of cakes and pastries. Breakfast is also served here in the mornings choose from meets, cheese, cereals, full fry up and cooked to order omlettes. Staff are all lovely, check-in was quick and no local taxes to pay. Just a warning to some that the hotel is on the flightpath so theres about 20 flights a day at about 750 feet above the pool, which I quite enjoyed (not everybodys taste) and its not that noisy.

Initial impressions had the reception and a seating area as being very dark. Check in was smooth. Fortunately that was the last we saw of reception until we checked out. We were very well looked after. The lift was always working and clean. We were fortunate to have a view of the sea. The room, 305, massive. Its so different having a room such as this. Two large rooms, one being the bedroom the other a large sitting area. There was also a small kitchenette, a balcony and a large bathroom. The whole space was very clean indeed. The airplanes flying over every 15 minutes or so were a nuisance initially. However you soon learn to zone them out. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Not all the food was hot at the same time. The variety on offer was very satisfying. We did have to wait for a table on a couple of occasions. It wasn't very long though. The young lady cleaning our room did a first class job. We had a tv in the bedroom and sitting room. It was a bonus to find BBC and ITV 1. Especially when the football was on. The covered outside seating area at the entrance to the hotel had nice views. It was however the domain of the smokers. Its outside, so what can be done. The hotel is very laid back and we enjoyed our stay. I suspect it will be a very different atmosphere in high season.

Really good, was there last month. Nice rooms. Buffet generally good and all inclusive drinks good quality. The entertainer was good fun , enjoyed his Sangria and Archery competitions. Special mention to the lad who was evening barman for most of the week, very friendly! Would definitely return

We are currently staying at Eurostars Las Salinas, and unfortunately we are very disappointed with our dining experience We have a dinner package included and visited the buffet restaurant with our young children. Like many families with toddlers, we understand that mealtimes can sometimes be a little messy. We always try our best to keep the table as tidy as possible, gather food scraps onto plates, and clean up before we leave. We fully respect the staff and the restaurant environment. However, while our child was still actively eating, the restaurant manager, Luis, came to our table and started wiping the table around our child with a cleaning cloth. Clearing finished plates during a buffet is perfectly understandable, but actively wiping the table while guests are still eating is inappropriate and unhygienic — especially when the same cloth is being used on multiple tables. It made us feel unwelcome and embarrassed. During the cleaning, he was visibly shaking his head and saying “Mamma mia,” which strongly gave the impression that he was unhappy about the mess caused by children. When we raised our concern, he explained that he treats all tables the same way and that he must keep the restaurant clean. We absolutely agree that cleanliness is important. However, cleaning a table while guests are still eating is simply not reasonable. Maintaining hygiene should never interfere with a guest’s dining experience. If you were still eating and someone began wiping your table before you had finished, would that feel appropriate? For someone who states he has over 20 years of experience as a restaurant manager, this makes the situation even more surprising and disappointing. Professional experience should reinforce basic dining etiquette — not undermine it. For a four-star resort, this level of service is not acceptable. Families with young children should not feel judged, rushed, or uncomfortable during dinner. If children are not truly welcome, that should be made clear — but this is promoted as a family-friendly resort. We hope management will take this feedback seriously and reconsider how families are treated in the restaurant. Very disappointed.

Very outdated, in desperate need of updating. Fridge missing door on icebox which has not been defrosted in years with door shelves missing. Flooring very worn with laminate worn through. Kitchen poorly equipped. TV sets very old and one with poorly fixed stand (leaning forwards). Poor signal on tv. Bathroom again very dated with broken glass sink and useless shower fixing that was no longer fit for purpose. Noise from pool bar and loud huming noise during the day. On the positive side the staff where helpful and pleasant. Large balcony (But poorly furnished). Great WiFi and bed good (Firm mattress which I like). Rooms are really good size. Both safe and WiFi is free. For some strange reason there was a phone beside the toilet.
