The snack bar around the pool is ok but they could do with adding pizza to the menu as they only do cheese toasties burgers and hotdogs but these are all OK.
Some of the hotel staff are not very freindly although we think this is down to the fact that they are short staffed and some are doing the work of two people.
We did complain about this and they are taking on more staff, can I say though that the first choice reps are all great and they helped make our holday!
The entertainment was good most nights apart from the country and western night OK if you like that sort of thing though I must admit they gave us a good laugh but probably for the wrong reasons!
The rooms were really nice and clean we were right by the C section pool.
The maid visits five times a week with clean bedding and towels. So if you've booked to go i'm sure you will have a great time and make sure you try a lime is lime!

Arrived on time good start, 10 min transfer from airport with toady from neighbours sorry martin first choice rep meet him and you will see what i mean. got to the resort at 9.00pm and checked in in 10 mins went to room stayed in c12 very clean indeed better than my house. Maids came virtually ebery day.

The apartments are small but perfectly suitable. We had prepared ourselves by taking powder which we only needed to dust around the drain in the back patio to keep the cockroaches at bay. There are a few tiny ants but they are only around spills.crumbs etc so clean up any mess straight away and they cant be seen.
The food at the main restaurant is buffet self service but there is a wider variety of choice than the reviews i have read lead you to believe. Chips were on offer every day but we never had any there were too many other delicious options.
Breakfast can be english cooked, cereals,freshly made pancakes and omelttes, pastries,jam, marmalade, yohurts, cold meats, cheeses, fruit and a good selection of fresh bread-do not believe there is a limited menu.
The whole site is kept wonderfully clean and no thanks to the litter lout guests. There are always hard working cleaning staff to be seen especially around the pool areas.
Finally, my partner and I were able to spend a really relaxing couple of hours each afternoon swimming and sunbathing while our daughter was left in the Tweety Creche. Great for our girl as the creche is in a cool, air conditioned, clean wooden building, enabling her to escape the heat within the relaxing calm environment, and all the First Choice reps are great with the children. It only cost 36 euros for 3 creche sessions and our daughter loves the t-shirt, sunhat and bag that she received as a free gift.
We would encourage any family to take a holiday at the Club Caleta Dorada.

Food - Average, edible. Lumch by C pool cold do with more variety & choice.
Location- Good, 10 min walk from town - uphill on return!
Staff - Brilliant, mainly polite & courteous with exception to one or two 'brassed off' bar staff.
Entertainment - Never Ending! Great First Choice entertainment team working hard at all times.
Main Moans - Security, door locks and window locks on B side were flimsy, we took cable ties, but still worried as heard of a few break-ins whilst we were there. We did hire a safe, but had heard rumours they were no match for the thieves! Rooms sockets were dodgy and fan didn't but a compaint to reception with any problem was soon rectified. However my point is that one should not have to spend time coimplaining about such issues.
C Pool had major safety issues, slippery at edge - we saw many near misses and falls. Also the plastic grill from beside the edge of the pool was being taken out daily by those some children whose parents didn't know, or didn't care what their children were up to. The maintenance man put them all back again every morning - but they were all out again with the hour waiting to be tripped over. Children were also climbing on top of the water slides and in doing so endangering themselves along with other users of the pool, as many slid off without warning onto unsuspecting swimmers below! The hotel should address the pool issues before a terrible accident occurs.
To sum up - A good family fun lazy holiday in the sun, don't expect the Ritz, but do expect good entertaimnet, edible food and polite staff.

The whole place is in need of a revamp, broken tiles, towels were frayed and very old, repair work being undertaken on pavements in the middle of the day while small children are running around.
This resort is supposed to be first choice exclusive, it isnt, on the b side its mostly italians, the c side is the liveliest place to be, its where the main pool and slides are (if you dare get in its that cold!), and where the main bar with entertainment is, also where you can grab a snack during the day, which is only chips, hot dog, cheese toastie or burger, barely edible but better than the food in the main resturant (if you can call it that, this is the first holiday I have been on that I actually lost weight!!).
Dont let these things put you off if you have already booked, a few broken tiles and bad food is not enough to ruin ones holiday, it didnt ruin mine, first choice reps are all helpfull and friendly and will deal with any problems quickly.
Entertainment was good, kids disco and bingo every night, outside entertainers came a couple of nights. Daytime activities also and kids clubs for when you need a break, hiring a car is also very cheap about

It was kept clean and maid service was regular and very friendly.
We didn't hear of any break ins while we were there.
Everyone we spoke to had the same opinion as us about how nice it was.
