We stayed here in June 07 and after reading the reviews from others we were not looking forward to it at all, but I have to say we had a great time.

We stayed half board and the food was ok not much to choose from but it was all cooked well. The rooms are very basic but it is only a 2 star, the furniture is a bit out of date but really thats just picking holes!.

The hotel was very clean the rooms cleaned everyday except tuesday and the towels changed everyday.

The staff were friendly toni the daytime entertainer was great really nice guy asked if you wanted to join in with games but never kept on at you, we did have a run in with the other entertainer who was very rude, but we still had a good time a holiday is what you make it!!

The location of the hotel was very good a couple of minutes from the shops and the beach, but we stayed around the pool most of the time as the pool around the back was good, and as the gates didnt open till 9am there was no saving sunbeds!!

The only reason we wouldnt visit again is the hotel oppersite is quite a big one and the noise at night goes on till early hours, so if you do go get a room around the back.

The rooms were very clean but extremely basic. There were four beds in a row like a hospital ward!

The food was OK but not much choice and so if you did'nt like cauliflour you'd had it 'cos it was on the menu almost every night in varying concoctions!

The staff were not all that friendly (the maids were the nicest members).

The entertainment did'nt really appeal to us as we went into the resort every evening as bingo, kareoke and the like were not our thing.

The location was spot on as just a short stroll down to the beach front.

We felt that we had been put in an impossible situation.My four children were treated with disdain by the majority of the senior citizen clients.I feel thompson should have made us aware that the my children would be the only children in the whole of the hotel.
If the staff of the Anforra playa read this especially Jack and Mandy I would like to say a heartfelt thankyou to them both for befriending my extremely well behaved children.I personally will never forget your hand of friendship.

I don't have a good comment about the food i'm afraid.i felt the food was 'scraping the bottom of the freezer' before closure.
out of fourteen evening meals we ate about six.

We found the Hotel an excellent 2* Hotel.

The staff were really helpful, Samantha the Hotel's entertainment person was super.

We had no complaints with cleanliness in any area of the hotel.

The meals were good, although there was not a lot of choice, but we always found something we liked. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been welcome(but then it is only 2*).

There was also entertainment of some sort(live artist, karaoke, and/or bingo) every evening.

We have just come back from a 2 week holiday at the Anfora Playa Hotel in Es Cana.
This was our 3rd visit over the last 5 years and we had an ace time.
Hotel was spotless and the cleanliness of the rooms was excellent with rooms being cleaned 6 days per week.
Reception, bar and entertainment staff were all great especially Mandy in the Bar who was most kind and helpful throughout our stay.
Entertainment was good and there were at least 3 live acts per week plus the usualy bingo/karaoke night.
All ages of people were there and it was a really friendly atmosphere.

Second time we have stayed here, much improved now with the larger second pool at the back, plenty of sunbeds and as this new pool has a gate which does n't open till 9.15 am it means no one gets up at the crack of dawn to bag sunbeds.

Meals were ok although did get a bit boring, always three choices for main meals, though not much for younger kids. Bar staff are all excellent and Janice was brill at getting people involved but did n't pester if you just want to laze about.

Playground, table tennis, table football, three pool tables and kids pool.Our party with two adults, one 18yr one 16yr old and one 14yr old loved it, but I have to say they did all have ear ache sometime during the holiday as did some other people.

When arriving at the Anfora Player, from the outside it looked really nice, all white washed and quite impressive, however all that changed when we went through the door.It was like going back in time to the 60's. Dark wood everywhere, including brown paint work. It looked clean enough, but looking closely the upholstery on the chairs were filthy.

The room was spacious but the beds weren't comfortable, candlewick bedspreads were the norm so that surprised me.

I know I'm moaning, but the food was shocking, my husband is a head chef and he says it was terrible. The salads weren't bad but we still ate out quite a lot even though we were half board.

The play area for small children was nice, but they needed constant supervision as it wasn't child friendly in a lot of places.

The pools looked clean and tidy, but I never saw them being cleaned.

Entertainment looked ok, but we never stayed in as it felt like being in a working mens club.

The staff were helpful.

The rooms were cleaned and towels left daily but on 3 occasions, the cleaners forgot to leave them so we helped ourselves from the laundry closet.

All in all it wasn't up to scratch and we prefer nicer hotels,but probably in its heyday it was one of the places to go.

Location is good,but we have visited Es cana so many times,there are lots of better hotels but it did its job,but we wont be going again.

I've wrote this based on our opinion but other families would rave about this hotel, but the choice is entirely up to you.

Thank you for listening ....The Humphrey Family.

We travelled to this hotel in 2 family groups the youngest was aged 9 and the oldest aged 77.

The rooms were clean and spacious, cleaned 6 times a week and bedding and towels changed regularly.

Food was repetitive but plentiful.

The new pool at the back was very good and had plenty of room for swimming,sun-bathing and games etc, the pool bar had a good selection of food available and the bar staff were very sociable, jack does a trivia quiz every day and the winner gets a shot of something hot and distgusting in a glass, I only won it once ( thank god).

The entertainment could have been better, but thanks to some lovely people we met, we made our own.the smallness of the hotel meant that it was easy to get to know people and this applied to all ages within our party, although I am not sure who were the biggest kids! Janice and the water polo was always interesting and I still think the ladies versus mens match would have been great fun if it ever happened!!

The holiday is what you make it and ours was great!

All in all, it is only a 2 star hotel but we would gladly return again.

This hotel is small, clean and friendly. The staff and guests are mainly british which makes it easy for everyone to get to know each other.

Our three kids aged 15,13 and 8 made so many friends they didn't want to go out of the hotel. The entertainment was limited but enough to keep my family happy and we had great fun with the games organised by Janice - although there was never pressure to join in if you didn't want to.

The pool areas are both pleasant and there is never a rush for sunbeds as they are plentiful. Be warned however, that ear infections amongst the children were rife and the local doctors will charge 90 euros just to examine you.

The food is nice and there is always a choice of menu. If you fancy a change it is very cheap to eat out in es Cana.

This is a great hotel for families wanting to get away from the crowds during peak season. there is a great atmosphere and we found our 2 weeks were a great chillout.
