Hotel is basic, rooms on the small side but my family found it a clean hotel.
We loved the hotel food, repetitive, as are most AI hotels catering for large numbers, but food was hot when it should be and cold when it should be. The pizzas are delicious. Show cooking every evening with theme foods also i.e Chinese, Italian etc.
The hotels location is close to the beach via numerous steps, be aware if travelling with small children in buggies or if you have mobility problems as there are many steps! The waterpark is a very short walk across the beach and is free to guests of the hotel, a small waterpark but handy.
Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
The entertainment of our first week was really good, but we were abit disappointed with our second week's offerings. The parrot show was on twice and most of the evening was spent selling photographs with the actual show taking 10 mins only. There's bingo every evening also. The animation team were really good and very friendly. Lots of activities on through the day both in the pool and out. Something for all ages and abilities.
One downside to the hotel was allowing 'freelance photographers' to come into the hotel grounds on a regular basis, asking to take your photo. If you say no they do leave you alone until next time. Be warned!
We would visit this hotel again, yes.

This hotel was nice and pretty clean.
The food was ok but it was a repeat after a couple of days.
The weather was ok 8 had 2 days of rain there but I went in June.
The cleaners was in your rooms about 9-10 time and did a very good job of it as well most of the reps and waiters were very nice to talk to.
The entertainment wasn't very good had a lot of screaming kids running round and also running up and down your floor at 7 in the morning wasn't very nice to be listening to.
After 11 you have to pay for your drinks but there is 2 bars over the beach that are really good called Delboys and Vincents but Delboys bar is fantastic for all ages they do karaokes quiz nights also things for little ones to.
Over all the resort was nice, very nice beach. I would go back there but it isn't for the 18-25 type people without kids its a very relaxing holiday but it was very nice and clean.

Not to bad clean wise.
Food okay but not enough snacks for people during the day if you didn't want to go in the dining room all the time to get them.
Nice location.
Hotel staff very busy but most were very quiet didn't speak at all.
Not enough to keep the kids entertained mostly singers and to loud couldn't talk without shouting to each other. We knew it was a family hotel but kids seemed to be left to their own devices.
Would not go back to that hotel but might see if there was any quieter hotels in the same area. Went with my daughter and her two kids but it was even to noisy for them. Hotel Elgreco bedlam.
Pool could have been closed off from little kids as they could run around freely. Not elderly friendly or people with back problems to many steps to the beech to high of a climb.

This was our second visit to this hotel and was nearly as good as the first time. The down side was the amount of children that are left to run around particularly at night up and down the hall ways! However this was dealt with by the staff very quickly. We had to complain about a room on floor 5 playing loud music also.
The cleaners were very good and friendly and came around between 8,30 and 9 in the morning each day.
The food the first week was great but the second week wasn't so good and if your children don't want to eat burgers every lunch time can be a struggle to find something for them. My children loved the joints of meat that the show cook did but we only saw 4 joints the whole fortnight.
The location was excellent for us but due to the amount of steps down to the beach would be unsuitable for people with walking difficulties or buggies. The resort is quite small but you feel extremely safe there. The beach itself is a beautiful place and we spent nearly every day on it.
We never saw much of the entertainment as the mini disco finished at 9 and the adult entertainment didn't start till 10pm. I think this is why the children we hyper on a night!
Staff polite and friendly.
I would give this holiday 8 out of 10, deduct one for the food and one for the amount of children doing as they please and parents not bothering on what their children were up too.

I went to Hotel Greco at the end of Sept first week of October with my partner and 2 sons 7 and 3 years old. When we arrived from a delayed flight it was 6am in the morning we had to get are bands on which the staff made us wake our 3 year old up to put on, then we had to find our room we were on the 5th floor with 2 young children which I was not happy about.
We had noise from coaches arriving all night the food was ok for a week but not the best we have had.
For all inclusive holiday the pool was to small for the size of the hotel the water park is not a safe place for young children and the day we went there was no life guard.
The entertainment was poor where your stuck inside a smoky room full of drunks people falling over and shouting.
My kids did enjoy themselves here and made friends with others and the beach was right at your hotel
The rooms where small you could not move.
People we spoked to all felt the same about this hotel I think it needs a revamp its very out dated.
I would go back to Ibiza with my family but not to hell greco never again for us.

Great location right on beach,steps not to bad gives you chance to burn off the calories from that lovely food served all day with a great choice.
Down side was we went when the kids went back to school after the summer break,for a quiet holiday so we thought, it was bedlam with kids running riot through the hotel from early morning till late at night.
Never again beware.

Big shock arriving at about 11pm in the evening, the noise was unbelievable!!! We wondered what we'd let ourselves in for.
Entertainment is housed on the lower ground floor, all stone floors, all reverberating to the noise of too loud speakers (you couldn't hear what they were on about). Too many kids, and adults intent on trying to kill themselves even more by breathing in other peoples smoke and a competition on how many drinks you can line up on your table by 11pm when you have to pay for your drinks. Very nearly checked out at this point.
Next day was calmer thank goodness, oh except for the night time corridor revellers who insisted on either running up and down like mad things (kids) or adults whistling at 1am in the morning and banging doors. The most amazing thing on the first night was a couple making love possibly in the next room, very entertaining!!!
The hotel is situated in a very nice cove, clean and safe for swimming, the downside is the smell....why they don't do something about it is beyond me.
Food was good, weather was good except for 1 1/2 days.

We stayed in the El Greco it was basic, relatively clean.
Can't complain about the food. The waiter staff were pleasant although the manager of the restaurant was not at all helpful.
The entertainment was basically not the shows were poor.
The view restricted it didn't cater for a large taste.
The sewage smell was a problem and I genuinely believe the water not treated correctly every one in our party came back with ear, throat, stomach infections resulting in a hospital visit for one of the party and the kids off school.
The access to the hotel is bad for parents with small kids as access to the beach is not easy with buggy's and the noise is bad.
I was very disappointed with this holiday and cannot recommend it to anyone especially if you have teenagers as there is nothing for them to do. In saying that some people go every year but having travelled a lot I can assure you this is not the best place on this planet you will ever visit.

Hotel Hell Greco is the right name for it.
Couldn't have a lay in as the cleaners were there first thing in the morning.
Food was brilliant. Staff were doing hand signals which I later found out from one waiter to be a rude gester at us as guests.
Reps were very noisy at 3:30am we got the blame from the hotel staff so I threw all three reps in the pool fully clothed might I add.
There wasn't any good entertainment for the adults for us we ended going to delboys bar (a must for anyone).
Steps steps and more bloody steps(get a lift put in for disabled and elderly people).
Table tennis had no net, volleyball had a net but was tied to a tree and a brick wall near the pool( get new equipment).
Pool was freezing even when the weather was hot(chop the four trees down near the pool).
Even had to pay 3 euro per child for night entertainment, would I go back again to HELL GRECO not even if I won the holiday.....

When we arrived it was very overcast weather.
The rooms where very clean.
For the first four days the food was very good but it just got repeated day in day out.
The holiday reps were very good but the resort had let us down by charging the kids for every game of pool at 2 euros each game but the bar round the corner only charges 1 euro. Don't go to Vincents bar as kids can drink from sixteen and it's just a pick up point for young Brit girls.
Go to Delboys.
After 4 days we were ready for home but our luck had changed when 2 family,s arrived on the Saturday of our first week. They become very good friends of ours and we had a wonderful time from then. When it was time for us to go we didn't want to, as, we wanted to spend more time with them. I can say Neil and Mel & kids were honest and true friends and we miss them to this day. We are going to go and see them very soon just shows.
The hotel did nothing for us at night so we made are own entertainment.
