We stayed at the Condesa a couple of years back. My daughter, who was around 8 at the time, absolutely loved it as there were loads of kids staying there also. At that time, there weren't many Germans there (we recently stayed in S'Illot & were well outnumbered!!) However, a lot of the families there were a bit lairy & on our last night, people were being thrown in the pool. Someone's kid was chucked in (by an older teenager) and lost their watch. This led to repercussions by the parents & graduated to a fully fledged fist fight between a couple of groups of adults. Obviously everyone retreated indoors and the police arrived chucking chairs around etc. Once we'd got back to our room, our daughter realised she'd left the cuddly toy thing (it's the hotel's mascot) we'd bought her on the table, so my other half had to go back down and retrieve it!!
In all, it's a VERY busy hotel and could possibly be seen as quite tacky with some of the entertainment etc. The food is nothing to write home about either. However, our daughter had a ball & I suppose that's half the battle!
Luckily we're used to staying at large hotels, having stayed at the Club Don Toni, Ibiza and the Esperides, Rhodes.
Looking forward to reading reviews from people who have been this summer
Great hotel,just read recent reviews.All inclusive for all this year.Best hotel we have ever been to, and all we spoke to said the same.
Hi, just wondered if anyone has been here yet this year? Found a few reviews on other sites and they've been quite mixed for the start of the season.
Hope it's not gone downhill after good reports last year.
So do I, I'm going 4th June (second time)
Having read some of the reviews on the other site, it seems its the same old story, you can please some of the people some of the time, etc. One review moaned about the food, then stated "best breakfast ever"
Any report or info on the hotel ?

Yes sometimes you read a review and they've said bad things then rated it as good, or rated it good then say how bad it is
Trouble is you can read loads of good reports then if you read one you start to get concerned, but as you say you can please some of the people some of the time etc.. we're not too fussy, as long as theres something on offer we can all eat, and my lot are quite happy with a plate of chips Just hope the rooms are ok, again one review was pleased with their room, another made it sound like something from holidays from hell.
Just have to keep a look out for more positive reviews.
The hotel is good for all ages, it's right in front of the beach, it's got a little souvenir / mini market in the hotel, it's a quite a large hotel and it's really got something for everyone.
We,ve just booked here for May 2010.
The main foyer could have done with a revamp (but only because it looked a little old fashioned not because of disrepair) but apart from that we were happy with the standard of accommodation and the food, facilities etc
All Inclusive isn't really our thing so haven't been back
Food BIG disappointment, it was never hot or warm when it should be even when it had just been put straight out..cold..chicken..cold bacon, sausages for breakfast..STONE cold...Son & husband ill 4th day in with vomitting..blame the food..ended up eating out the rest of week, except having the cossaints for breakfast. My son even refused to continue eating the cheap coco pop. Only weatabix, cheap cornflakes or museli for cearal. No rice krispies. Food repetitive..repetitive..in choice..Lunch very very basic..chips, salad mixes..pizza every day..no sandwiches or toasties for lunch..no crisps or nibbles..
Remember to take more money with you as 2 weeks we could not have put up with eating the same COLD food and risk food poison again.
Resturant manager would not allow us to take out cossaints for breakfast on last day. We picked up at 7am, breakfst starts at 7.30 and picnic could not be picked up that early. We ended up starving till plane. Not enough time at airport to get fed. 8 year old was not impressed when we got fed on the plane it was just a very small finger roll with ham, that was it.
Forgot to say it is GERMANS everywhere 80% full..they queue for nothing..very rude..and had enough of them..
We paid £3500 for 2 adult and a kid. Thought for that price it would be decent. You are only paying for the beach location.
Just finishing the last of the packing now. My brother hasnt even looked at the hotel on the web he said he wants a suprise. I just hope its as good as most find it.
Keep you posted.

If you book it ask for a room with a sunny aspect as these rooms were on the other side of the hotel.
