Its a late post but just realised this was on here!

Well what can i say, absolutely BRILLIANT!!! never ever before have a had such an amazing holiday. Mum and Dad seemed to enjoy themselves every night and me and my brother (14) also found plenty to do, day and night!

water sports in the day on the beach were brill, pricey but its a holiday wot the heck!!

Food was brilliant, cannot complain!
Staff very friendly and entertaining.

Night time visit VINCENTS! Karaoke, cheap beer and all round good time.

Please ignore the nasty comments, people just want to complain, but if familys with kids ages 0-18 want to go on holiday this is definately the place to be!!!

Thanks to El Greco =)

This was the 1st time we have stayed all inclusive and it will be the last. The hotel was very busy and was very noisy until the bar closed at midnight.

The hotel was a bit dated but kept very clean. Maids came in every day to tidy beds, change towels etc.

We found the food a bit disappointing, its ok if you like burger, chips, pizza etc but not if you like healthy food.

The entertainment was ok, mini disco every night for the kids but played the same songs which got a bit boring. My daughter enjoyed kidzone whose staff were a bit mad.

There are lots of steps around the hotel and down to the pool and beach which leads to the water park. This only had 4 slides but was still good.

I wouldn't visit this hotel again because of the noise and the food.

Have just returned from the EL Greco with my Family had a FANTASTIC TIME. The only problem is there is a lot of steps in and around the hotel,big problem as we had to carry a buggy up and down.

Food was brillant a lot of choice, Nice to see that there was a chef cooking and making pizza's and also a chef cooking meat day and night, Snacks could be a bit better but didn't need to eat them because of the wonderful food

Entertainment was Brillant well done Stanley,Leah And

After reading some of the previous reports posted, we were a bit nervous before we got to this hotel but we needn't have worried.

The hotel is very clean and the food was excellent. There was plenty of choice - yes, they did start repeating things after a few days but there was so much to choose from, it would only be repetitive if you wanted it to be.

The staff were friendly and the entertainment team were brilliant.

We didn't have much problem with kids running riot - they were left to their own devices a lot but I think that's because there's not much to do outside of the hotel.

The view from the hotel was worth the money alone. There is a bit of a pong now and then but you get used to it after a couple of days.

The evening entertainment isn't brilliant and it's all done out in the pool area but when we were there, you had to be out there to get a table by 8.00pm and the shows didn't start til 10.00pm so it was a long time to sit. The pool bar was nice and handy though even if you do have to drink out of plastic cups. Delboys and Vincents in the resort centre do some good entertainment if you want to get away from the hotel for an evening.

The water park was OK - no general swimming area though so if you didn't want to be up and down the slides all the time, you were a bit stuck for something to do.

There weren't enough sunbeds and you could forget getting one unless you were there at the crack of dawn but the beach was only a few steps away.

The hotel isn't any good for anyone not too mobile as there are steps everywhere and you have to walk across the beach to the resort centre.

A couple of complaints that I did have was firstly that our room was very cramped for two adults and a 13 year old who is now the size of an adult. There wasn't enough room to put clothes away so we ended up having to keep our stuff in the suitcases.

The other thing was that although there is a no smoking area in the bar - the smoking area is nearest the bar and you also have to walk through it to get to the restaurant. This wasn't very pleasant as this area of the bar was always packed.

This was about our 7th stay here.(that must say something).
Excellent food, nice clean rooms, and the entertainment team were mental. Stanley has so much energy, Leah is so pretty and Evette is stunningly beautiful. (I would have liked to have left the wife and brought her home instead).
As others have said the hotel has lots of steps and is on different levels.

Sometimes there is a whiff on something from the beach area.

The free water park is beginning to look a bit tired, they have tried to touch it up a bit. I think it must be over ten years old know. I can remember when it was brand new.

I can't really say anything bad about our stay this year or about any of our other stays.

We would stay here again.

Stayed at hotel El Greco. The smell of sewers was vile enough to make you sick.

Rooms of a fair size and clean.

Food was not bad, not enough selection for children really.

Entertainment was not too bad.

Some staff were very friendly while others were not at all quite snotty in fact.

The steps were terrible especially when you have got a pram. No facilities for disabled people whatsoever. Great location right on the beach.

Would never return to hell Greco/smell Greco not in a million years.

Food was excellent - you could never be stuck for choice. It has fresh cooked pizzas, 2/3 pastas per time, fresh grill and roasts plus more.

The downside is outside, there are not enough sun beds (people queued each morning from 8 o clock for a bed even though area did not open until 9 (the Germans have nothing on this lot).

Hotel appears to be packed to bursting point and why oh why do people not keep an eye on their kids when they are on holiday. Gangs of noisy teenagers, lots of little kids running riot to name but two examples. Our daughter did not like being in the hotel in the evening she felt intimidated by "Chavs" (her words not mine she is 13).

Did not like drinking out of plastic cups, had to head for the bars. Water park ok.

I have to say after reading some reports on this web-site about this hotel I was apprehensive to say the least about taking my two young children age 6 and 3 for 2 weeks.

I need not have worried, the food was excellent - loads of choice with plenty of fruit and a childrens menu - fresh pizzas and meat cooked in front of you - show cooking.

The Maids were lovely, polite and very efficient cleaning our room every morning and changing towels as often as you thought needed - leave them on the floor and they get changed, hang them up means you will use again.

We did not experience problems with children in the hotel and our children loved the Kidzone Club, there is no doubt a lot of children but after all it is a family hotel. We took a buggy with us and there are steps around the hotel and down to the beach but they didn't cause us a big problem. The Hotel Entertainment Team - Stanley, Leah & Evette were great, very friendly and put every effort into trying to make the holiday a happy one for adults & children.

At the end of the day - a holiday is what you make it and yes you have to drink out of platic cups - but glass in the pool area is not safe - there is a drainage smell now and then but you are in a hot country and can get that in lots of places, if you join in the fun and make super friends like we did you will have a fantastic time.
