I have just booked a holiday at this hotel. I have read good reviews about it, but the only thing that is worrying me is the pools. I have read that the 3 pools are salt water can anyone tell me if this is the case. And what facilities are in the half board rooms eg hairdryers, fridges etc.

This hotel is fab!!!

We went for a week in October 2005 and are about to depart on another two week venture in a few weeks time.

We had to pay 18 Euros for the use of the fridge for the week and about 19 Euros for the safety deposit box. The hairdryer is situated on the wall of the bathroom - you have to pull the hose gently towards you to get it to work. I stood there like a lemon trying to figure that one out for ages!

I don't know about the towels as we took our own.

Hope this helps someone.

Enjoy

Hi Rachy ,we went to this hotel 7 years ago and had a great holiday there.Some of the rooms needed refurb but that has probably been done.We had our 6 year old with us and he would like to go back but we went to Ibiza the following year and met some great people who we have holidayed with every year since.Their 11yr old is so travel sick he can only just make a 2 1/2 hour flight so Gran Canaria is out of our range.There are some reviews that are more up to date than anything I can tell you if you visit the hotel review site on this forum or maybe try Tripadvisor site,hope this helps,Tina

Stayed at this hotel in June 2006, did not enjoy it at all rooms clean and spacious,staff were lovely.Nothing else good to say hated every minute of it,not a patch on the superfamily hotels in ibiza!!

The Orquidea is now a Family club Extra so now it has the facilites to compete with all of the other Family Clubs (They used to be known as Superfamily) The hotel has undergone a big refurb which is still currently being done in some parts of the hotel and now it looks alot more modern.
