We had a super family holiday here.

Our room was large. The fittings were dated but the room was kept very clean by the maids.

Food was ok if a little repetitive after 2 weeks ( my fussy son could always find something to eat)

The location of the hotel was brilliant...right next to the beach...great for the kids! Near all the shops and bars but not too near to be noisy.

Entertainment was ok...kids loved it...Abbey was great(entertainment guy)

Staff were polite....esp at the bar.

We are going there again in Aug 2005..as we had such a relaxing holiday

I would firstly have to say that my stay at the Hawaii hotel was very enjoyable.
To start off with we experienced a few problems. When we arrived we were told we were on floor 9, yet on entering the lift there was only 8 floors! the receptionist had told us that we would have to climb a few stairs to reach our room. it turned out to be around 10 narrow stairs we had to climb before reaching our room. on first impressions i was not impressed! we were literally on the roof with a lot of noise from the generator, which subsequently ensured for a sleepless first nights stay.
the following morning my boyfriend enquired about changing rooms which the reception staff were very helpful in sorting out. by the end of the second day we were in a lovely room on floor 6, with a beautiful view of the bay (although this did set us back an extra 70 euros)
After a bad start, the rest of the holiday was perfect. food was great for a fussy person like me, but it was sometimes repetative, which i liked though as i knew what i was getting!
entertainment was great with both daytime and nightime entertainment for both adults and children.
the location was perfect, you could either enjoy a night out at the clubs (eden, es paradise) or alternatively a quiet night along the bay at some of the quieter bars and amusement parks.
Overall i really enjoyed my stay at the hawaii. i get quite homesick but the hawaii was the perfect place to visit for an enjoyable holiday and one where i didnt want to go home!

Just returned today and already missing hawaii hotel. The hotel was clean and airy which must be hard as there was so many people there.

Food good, awesome salads and chips most days for fussy guests and kids. Hotel right on beach,sea beautiful, snorkles are a must as there are lots to be seen only a few feet from the shore.A few friendly staff but most are obviously overworked .A course in smiling wouldn't go amiss.The entertainment was excellent!!!! Abi was ace and his epertise in languages added to his talents. Danny and Natalie were new recruits and were worshiped by the children and were brilliant with all ages.

I would love to return to this hotel but the safe deposit boxes are far to expensive to hire thus young people tend not to bother which results in theft, this happened to one unlucky couple on the beach last week their holiday ruined.

A great holiday overall but one suggestion would be to use plastic glasses by the pool,which is great I might add.

Stayed here in september 03. Hotel seemed ok at first glance, but a few problems emerged as we started settling in. Firstly, there were no plugs in the rooms. I had to unplug the tv to use a hairdryer. Secondly, I had to pay an extra fee to use the safe.
Reception staff didn't seem either helpful, or bothered.
I'm sure the entertainment was good, but I didn't really stay in the hotel for that, so I've given that an average score.
Finally, I was apalled at the attitude of one of the bar staff. It seemed as though customers wanting to buy drinks and ice creams were an inconvenience who were rudely interrupting his converstaions with other staff.

This hotel has the best location of all the places or resorts we have stayed in. It's right on the beach with a wonderful view of the bay area. You are a nice walk or a lovely boat ride from the busy town area with all the clubs and bars. We paid extra for a room with a sea view, and boy was it worth it! On our first night there was a 20 minute fireworks display that was being set off right under our window but we where well warned by the staff when they saw we had a 6 month old baby with us. The lifts are a bit hit and miss but even the walk down the stairs is pleasant (maybe not with a buggy) as you get a panoramic sea view all the way down to the 70's style cool retro foyer area.

The bar and pool area is well thought out and there is a shaded dining area serving lunchtime barfood/snacks. Just the thing for cooling down. The pool is large and clean with plenty of free sun loungers. The kiddies pool is also very nice and secure.

The room (ours was pretty high up, 7th floor I think!) was very clean but basic. Plugs where hard to find but the staff let us borrow an extension lead with extra plugs so we could use our baby bottle zapper. Be warned if you pay for the TV though as there is PORN available from very early in the day and right through the night on one of the channels.

The food is very good, particularly the fruit, desserts and kids food. The breakfasts where very nice but sometimes the adult evening meal choices where a bit boring. Wine/Beers and soft drinks are about average for hotel prices.

The staff where lovely. Very attentive and friendly. Loved children (well our daughter at least). Always greeted us with a smile and a bit of chit chat. The entertainment during the day for kids was varied and looked fun (our daughter was too young but we did not see a creche) and the hotel entertainment leader setting up the adult poolside games always drew a crowd. The catch-phrase for our 2 weeks was 'drinky-drinky....pooly-pooly'

We would love to come back again. We planned to do so this year (summer 2004) but our plans had to change so we are going to Tenerife in Jan 05. Look out for a report on the Green Golf Appts. from us soon after.

The Hawaii hotel is fantastic accomadation. This particular holday was the second time I had visited the hotel.

To start with we recieved full board for the price of half, we were given free drinks vouchers on arrival and our room was very clean and while not overly large was just big enough. The view from our balcony was the best thing about our room, it was breath taking. We could see the full length of the bay and at sunset it was amazing.

The staff are friendly and helpful so I think the holiday maker above must have just caught one on an off day. The food was good with a decent choice and the deserts and breakfast were particularly nice.

All in all we have had fantastic holidays here, my first visit had a full range of generations and every age group thoroughly enjoyed themselves, so much so I will be returning for my third visit in September 04 with my daughter.

i have been to this hotel five times with my wife and childern the food as always been good the staff are very friendly the rooms are very clean there is everything you need at hotel hawii. there are kidds clubs every day and things for the adults shooting,french bowels water polo.and you can get to the beach within 40 seconds of the out side bar and pool and there are shows on every night we have never had a bad holiday at this hotel unlike other hotels on the island yes i will be landing there on the 11-07-2004 at 17.05 .
