On arrival at the Bali we had a 30 minute wait as our apartment was not ready for us. Not a good start but the staff were full of apologies. We have stayed in The Bali before but this was our fist time in the apartments.

When we got to our room our first impressions were good until we saw the balcony. It was just big enough for 2 people to stand on and because of the way the building faces we got no sun on it after 10 in the morning.

The room itself was fine. Cooker, fridge and toaster provided along with a TV. The bathroom was of a good size.

We did eat in the hotel a few times and at 5 euros for breakfast and 11 euros for the evening meal great value for money. If you booked both you got it at 15 euros per peson. The food is of a high standard.

After a few days hitch number 2. The card which acts as your key to the room would not open the door. Long trek to receiption to get it reset.

Hitch number 3 was getting the safe reset as that stopped working as well. Hitch number 4 soon followed when we retuned one night and all the lights in the passage way were off. Repoted it to eception and thought things would be sorted out. Next night we were greeted by a security guard with a torch as lights were still off.

Hitch number 5 was the safe packing up all together and we had to put our passports etc in the safe at reception. Antonia at reception was very helpful with the safe and she gave me a refund on the room safe.

Hitch number 6 came when the door key failed again. This time at 2 in the morning so another long tek back to reception to get it reset.

The entertainment team work long, long hours every day. They eventually take no for an answer when you tell them that you dont want to go pistol shooting or play wate polo. On a night time we saw about 1/4 of a show as watching people mime to a CD is not our idea of entertainment.

I would ask the Bali to stop the entertainment team entering the dining room asking people to come and watch their show when people are eating their evening meal.

I have put that I would retun to The Bali but it will have to be in a few years time. Staff 100% professional and give all their guests a 100% service. The hotel is in need of modernisation again.

Weather good for February- hot enough to sunbathe, although it had rained before we got there for 2 weeks we were told.
Food- plenty of choice and hot
entertainment- not as much on as in the summer months but not bad, bongo, quizzes, magic show, parrot show, flamenco and vaious singers
cheapest drinks ive known in a hotel

OK food is a bit cold, so use microwave for 30 secs. Most I spoke too say that breakfast was the best meal of the day. Night time food was fine. But when you have had a few beers night before. You always look forward to morning.

Top floor room over looking hill road. Only thing is you can hear the drunks coming up the hill going home. Plus people in the hotel shouting as they walk across car park bit.( we are talking 60 + thought I was Ibiza?. Most nights. Apart from that you can smoke inside hotel.

Nice big room. With aircon. Rooms are cleaned basic. They missed a few things off that

This 3 star hotel has 5 star food, excellent hotel rooms, entertainment very poor but Pickwicks Bar down the hill is good for a laugh.

Cardiac hill is steep mind you but I've got angina and managed it would stay at this hotel again no problem.

A group of us went for a long weekend at this hotel.The hotel its self is lovely.The hill wasnt as bad as i thought.The food was excellent.I couldnt fault the hotel at all and i will be returning here again.

A great family hotel ran by good staff. The studios were very spacious and clean. There were two big wardrobes and plenty of storage space so even for five of us there was plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable especially the sofa-bed which was very large both to sit and sleep on. Plenty to do for the kids and adults alike, two pools and a kids pool. There were far to many disease carrying pigeons and to many loonatics feeding them. Also you were contantly being pestered by flies although this was the same throughout the resort, Good bars close by but everything was up or down a very steep hill. All the staff were helpfull and friendly. it took a while to get the hang of the layout of the Hotel/studios as there were several annexes and levels but you soon get the hang of it. The weather was excellent, nice and warm
I would go back to this hotel.

just got back from the bali, it is at the top of a steep but not too long a hill, there are a few bars on the way up if you want a rest and a refreshment or two, I tried the cheap lager at

a good hotel we had a weekend here and all would come again,
food was some of the best we've had in any spain.
there is a big hill out side after a day or two most able body person can get up ok.
went out after our meal to local bars which you were spoilt for choice.

The hotel was a good family hotel ,clean and tidy,the tv had BBC1,ITV3.and SKY news,and movies at certain times of day.The pool area was tidy plenty of sunbeds,various games poolside organised by ents team.The staff were friendly and helpful.A few too many pigeons about,though some guests encourage them by feeding them.Some people were even feeding them on their own balconys.The resort is not the cleanest, dog fouling on pavements is common.The marina area is great and a must to visit,also the walk along the beach front.The park is good for kids with animals and birds,rabbits,hens guinea fowl,roaming free.The lake in the bottom has terrapins,and plenty of carp,take a tin of sweetcorn with you the carp will appear.The resort contains some good eateries,the best we found was capriccio in Bonanza Square,though the chinese was good also,there are two in the square it is the busy one you want.Down from the hotel near the bottom on left are a row of small bars.One of which sells lager @ 80c a pint.another at one euro.All in all we enjoyed our stay,but as two arthritis sufferers the hill got the better of us.Next time on the costa del sol,we will head for Fuengirola its flatter.ie the Skegness of the costa.

myself my husband and 2 children aged 10 and 2 just arrived home from a week at hotel bali.

arrived at the hotel at about 10 pm and was suprised the hotel had kept us a meal , we really enjoyed and was not expecting.

our first impression of the hotel was not that great because some parts of the hotel are very basic but everywhere was very clean but once we had settled we could not fault it

we hired a fridge for 5 euro a day and got water and drinks from the supermarket. the staff behind the bar excellent and the waiters were too.

would def recommend going half board was really worried because we are quite fussy eaters but have never seen us all eat so much in one week.

the spanish entertainment team were brilliant with kids they did not stop never really seen much of the thomson reps, not like when we have gone before but 10 out of 10 to the spanish kids loved them. the hill is not that bad
