Food was good we found something we liked every day and there was never a wait for a table.Got addicted to the ice slushes to cool us down.
Entertainment guys worked hard but could have done with some external shows that other hotels do, nice strolling distance to the bars and shops and the long sandy beach, bus stop outside.
Room was big compared to others, we was on the 1st floor so never had to use the lifts, all in all a great holidaygreat place would go back

The hotel is about five mins to centre of resort and the same to the beach so is ideally placed. The staff are fine and all were pleasant.
The entertainment team also run the kids club which they do very well but, the evening entertainment leaves a lot to be desired.
The hotel is clean and towels and linen are changed often. Having said that we did have cockroaches in our rooms. They arranged for the rooms to be sprayed but, they still came back.
I would not stay at this hotel again.

Accomadation is basic but you don't spend so much time in there anyway, clean towels daily and bedding changed a few times during our stay. Information says the hotel was refurbished in 2001 but with 14 floors of rooms seeing thousands of guests each week, 6 years is too long and it does need doing again! There is a fan on the ceiling which gives a little cool air out but most nights we slept with the doors open to allow the room to be cool enough. When you check in reception mention nothing about a safe which can be hired they give you your key tell you which floor its on and away you go. 4 lifts 3 of which serve floors 6 to 14 and one doing floor 1 to 4, we walked up the steps most times as the lifts are very slow & hot.
Pool areas are nice not a chance of a sunbed unless your up early, although lots of grassed areas for you to lay your towel and to be honest the one day we did get a sunbed we then gave it up to sit on the floor which was more comfortable. Because of the trees the pools do end up with a fair amount of bits in them but they are cleaned each evening
The food choice is very repetetive, yes there is variety each night but it seems to go on a 3/4 day cycle so you would know what you were getting from one day to the next. We do know a lot of people were eating out rather than eat in the restaurant. Breakfast is similar each day with good variety with the only real changes being do they have croissants/cake or biscuits, lots of bread rolls always available but often these were very hard as were the french sticks. The restaurant staff rarely smile and are not the fastest workers I have ever seen tables are often left messy with people hanging around waiting for them to be cleared so they can eat. We didn't eat lunch n the restaurant but from "snack Tonga" which is run by the most miserable arrogant bloke I have ever seen, he sneers, he comments, he ignores and it wasn't just us we watched him do it to loads of people, yes he is very busy but a smile costs nothing.
The bar staff work their backsides off but there is still usually always a queue although we were allowed 4 drinks each (children 2) again there is not a lot of smiling going on although Patricia is lovely and always found time to smile and say "your welcome" One thing we wern't keen on is during the day plastic glasses are used but on an evening these become glass and we saw loads of breakages happen and they don't always rush to clean it up ....lots of people walking in these areas the following days with bare feet cuts must happen and plastic all the time would be better .....bigger plastic cups too pleae!
Entertainment: the team work really hard to keep people amused during the day with loads going on rifle sooting volleyball darts water polo football tennis table tennis etc. They have a "cocktail game" at 12-30 each day to win a Tshirt and these are really easy "silly games for anyone over the age of 13 and due to the variety and ease of most of them anyone can win. The team all speak around 5/6 languages and easily change between them sometimes you find it hard to hear your bit though due to how quick they speak. The same team do the shows on an evening (no visiting shows during the 2 weeks we were there) and work really hard but some of the shows are just plain boring and not at all funny Please avoid "sketch show" on monday week one becuase its painful although our foreign friends seemed to think it was funny ...perhaps I just have a different sense of humour. Dance shows were ok but this was dancing and miming to a cd Moulin rouge, blues brothers, grease night, saturday night fever.
Bingo is played most evenings ran by the leader of the ents team (Jarl) and he loves the sound of his own voice the 1st time you hear the "script" its funny after a few nights of this you really want him to vary what he says! He says the numbers in 6 languages and only lets ladies win as he likes to give them 3 kisses (5 kisses is 1) At the end of the evening shows he also always says"so did you like the show " and following the applause he adds "I do not let my animacion team work for 45/55/65% only 100%" and gets everyone to cheer louder, sometimes it felt like he was bullying the audience into clapping.
In conclusion we had a nice holiday not a brilliant one and we are glad to be home, we would go to Can picafort/majorca again but not to The club Tonga Hotel.
