Well situated on the main street about 200-300 yards up a gentle hill from the resort centre and beach. The entrance to the hotel is from the rear and as soon as you walk around the corner to the main street there are restaurants, bars, supermarkets, souvenir shops and the kiddie fun fair.
The rooms are smart, modern, fresh and airy. We were self catering and, although the cooking area was in a cupboard, you could cook light meals as long as you used the table for preparation and serving. Our room had a toaster, fridge, kettle and enough utensils and cutlery. We also had a hair drier in the bathroom, and a flat screen TV with no remote (We guessed that you probably had to hire the remote) but you could change between the few english speaking channels using the TV set itself. We had effective air conditioning. The safe was 20 euros/week.
There is a good sized pool with enough loungers but you had to be down before about 11am to claim one of the parasols. There'a a shallow kiddie pool and a kiddie play area. The complete hotel was pretty spotless all the time and our maid service, including towels if necessary, seemed to be every day. We only ate at the hotel bar for afternoon snacks a couple of times and the food was adequate rather than delicous. Others who were half board said the food was nice. The entertainment staff did a good job with the kids and adults alike: darts, shooting, pool, swimming games, archery, scuba diving etc - and made everyone feel very welcome. They also made time to chat and joke a little with those sitting around the pool but not necessarily joining in with the activities.

We had 1 kids suite and 1 suite and I must say both were really nice and spacious and had 2 bathrooms. During our stay we received maid service every day including Sunday. The kitchen areas are housed in fitted cupboards and to be honest are only suitable for making light snacks and breakfast but remember you are on holiday in a resort with some great places to eat. reception staff are friendly and available 24 hrs a day !!!!!. The pool area is spacious with plenty of sunbeds and the entertainment guy works very hard to get people to join in !. To be honest we never used the restaurant at the hotel so cannot comment. The hotel provides entertainment every night, it is not always of the highest standard but there is enough variety to keep everyone happy. The Atlantic has been improved massively since it was an all inclusive cattle shed and I cannot recommend it highly enough and we shall be returning shortly!.

Given room at front of hotel overlooking late night bar 3.30am disco and back of shops but could see the sea in distance.
Room clean but kitchen was 2 rings an a sink hidden in cupboard to which doors did not open fully situated in hall which made it dark and dangerous for anyone coming out of loo.
Swimming pool surrounded by screaming children lilos infatables etc couldn't use it unless you wanted to be hit by ball or other objects thrown by kids.
Only ventured bar once (yes there is only one) during kids disco again children running round all over the place very dangerous.
Mums and dads seem content to let kids do what they liked they played in lifts banged doors in corridors til all hours as a couple we would have appreciated somewhere to go to get away from them the weather wasn't kind so when we couldn't get out we spent hours in our room.
Es cana is lovely and we had a great time in spite of everything but would only recommend this hotel if you have children who will absolutely love it they can do what they like with no restrictions it seems.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, the staff were great.The entertainment was the same nearly every night but my grandaughter loved it, dancing with the staff/entertainers.Can't really comment on food as we ate out every night but had snacks round the pool and they were fine.The hotel is situated just right, in the middle of everything, close to shops, bars, beach and restaurants.
We would definately visit again.

We arrived at the hotel expecting a 3* half decent hotel. We soon discovered we were accommodated in the funny farm.
The staff seemed to get pleasure from requesting us to expose our most intimate parts, and half of the other guest appeared to be high on illegal substances and seemed determined to find an off license at unusual hours in the morning for cigarette papers.
For the majority of our stay the swimming pool was closed due to guests mistaking this for the toilet, although why this was necessary remains a mystery, especially as nobody seemed to eat the slop served at meal times.
Our hair did not need drying due to us obtaining a new hairstyle on plugging in our hairdryer, which the staff resolved by sending a gardener to fix the faulty socket.
I would not recommend this hotel to the faint hearted, however for a cheap holiday where you enjoy moaning and complaining as part of your daily routine then give it a try.
This was a once in a life time experience and we would suggest the closure of this building to prevent any further misery being inflicted on unsuspecting holiday makers. X

The hotel itself was very shabby, on first entering our room I told my husband that I could not possibly stay there. Although I must admit that the room and the whole of the hotel was spotless clean!! The cleaners never seemed to stop working. The food was ok - nothing special, the entertainment was quite good (the kids enjoyed it anyway) Es cana is a great place for families and I much prefered this resort to san antonio!! although the hotel could have been better we made the most of what we had and we had a brilliant holiday.
