The hotel rooms were clean but basic. Family rooms a bit cramped when bed is out could do with more cupboard space (nowhere to put all my shoes).

Food was very good.

Staff helpful women must wear t-shirts over swim wear when in restaurant.

Hotel on beach and the steps do take it out of you but other wise a good location.

The room was 2 small for the family of four, air condition was very noisy. The 3rd bed was half way across balcony door the mattress was too small for the bed frame.

The food was repeated every night.

We had a fantastic holiday here the last week of July and first week of August. The hotel is spotless from the reception area right through to the rooms.

The food was excellent couldn't find fault with anything here, plus you get snacks right up to midnight, a first for us where all inclusive is concerned.

Hotel location is superb it's got to be the lovliest place we have ever been to. The beaches are gorgeous and very safe and you have to make the 20 minute walk to see the sunset.

Hotel staff we found to be excellent, maybe because we speak a little spanish, which they always appreciate. They were always helpful and cheery, especially Carmen the waitress in the rest.

The entertainment during the day could do with some improvement, not really a lot for teenagers, although the beach and the waterpark are good alternatives for them. The entertainment at night is ok but we couldn't really complain about it.

Where the smell is concerned you do get a slight whiff of it throughout the day, but it certainly never spoiled our holiday.

I also read that the rooms were quite small but compared to some All Inclusive hotels ours was actually not bad, and your really only in it to shower and sleep, it was also one of the quietest rooms we have been in, we never heard anything.

The food in the hotel the first week was good but by the second week you are fed up of the same things. If you like sweets don't look for much other than rice and cake not a lot of variety.

The staff at the hotel are excellent very friendly and over worked.

The entertainment was awful - the worst hotel entertainment we have had on an all inc holiday.

The pool was too small - no sunbeds - no room to move anyway sunbeds were right up against the pool but there is the beach which was great and also the water park. Remember you have to pay for beds and umbrellas on beach - buy lilo and frisby best buys of holiday.

I stayed at the hotel El Greco in July of this year...the best 2 weeks of my life!!!

Arriving at the hotel was a bit of a disappointment, after driving through ibiza town we were hoping for our resort to be a bit more lively.

Our first impressions of the hotel were positive. it seemed clean and quiet, as did the rooms.

The breakfast wasnt up to much, there was a wide range of food, however not very tasty. Lunch and dinner was great, wide varieties and tasty.

The hotel staff were brilliant...very very friendly and gorgeous (Angel and Antonio in particular)and looked after their guests very well. Miss them all. Me and 3 friends are returning next year... Rocking Vincents bar , which by the way is UNREAL! 10/10

This was our second visit to the El Greco and we were not disappointed. The room we had was huge, overlooking the entertainment/pool area.

We were there for 7 days and had a wonderful holiday. The food was excellent, the beach is lovely and the water park is superb for the children. The pool area is not worth spending your day at as it gets very shaded quickly and isn't big enough for the size of the hotel. This did not bother us as we spent our day on the beach and at the water park.

It has everything you need for a family holiday.

The entertainment is fine for a 7 night stay but would be hard work for 14 nights. Even though the kids love it.

I would recommend this hotel for any family.

We stayed at this hotel on a 'Price breaker' allocated on arrival type holiday.....we were not disappointed. The hotel is set in a lovely area. OK so if you want to walk along miles of beach, then this is not the resort for you, although I usually like doing this and loved every minute of the holiday.

We went for just 1 week and in my view this was just right, I left wanting to stay longer but I might have been bored staying any longer. This holiday is family based but if you are into relaxing holidays, sitting by the gorgeous Caribbean style sea that you can walk out 50 metres into and enjoying the views, this could be for you.

The hotel is nice, rooms are nothing special, but that is not a negative thing, you get everything you need - safe, satellite TV etc. Rooms are cleaned daily and there is loads of choice at the restaurant.

Kids are well entertained by some fantastic staff and there is the choice of pool, beach or water park all right at the hotel. Evening entertainment is the usual stuff - singers, hypnotist, bingo etc but all done well.

All in all a nice place to spend your hard earned cash going to.

p.s. reviews mentioning the sewage smell are right but it is infrequent, the area is very clean and it does not detract from your enjoyment.

We have just returned from the el greco after spending one week there. We booked this as a late deal and we were fortunate to get it really cheap.

On first arriving we thought nice clean hotel and lovely reception staff, we then went to our room which was right next door to the bar downstairs and although it was a little small it was okay.

The place was lovely and clean everywhere. When we went for breakfast we were impressed with the restaurant and the food was good and loads of it.

The hotel is in a lovely small bay but, for us there was not enough to do, it was okay if you had kid`s with you as there was loads laid on for them.

The entertainment was naff to say the least. We had no sleep all week with the noise as some parents allowed the kids to run the corridors all night and by day there was so many kids it was sheer chaos.

When we leaving there were other couples saying exactly the same as us and some had paid a lot more than us for the week.

If you want peace and quiet and a nice relaxing holiday then aviod the el greco at all cost.

Firstly, the food was excellent, admittedly a little repetetive at the end of our 2 weeks stay, but great nonetheless, what surprised me was walking into breakfest for the first time and seeing bottles of champagne on ice!
Lovely with some orange in! The choice of drinks was not bad, but another choice of beer and proper fruit juices would have been nice!

The sewage smell which we had been concerned about was not that noticeable when it did appear, which was about once a day for a couple of minutes!

The view from the hotel was brilliant, there were some lovely photo opportunities to be had!There was not a huge number of sunbeds round the pool, but there were quite a few more on the seperate sun terrece and also the waterpark. The kids loved the waterpark, 6 slides just being enough to keep them happy! They also loved the fact that they could have as many lollies icecreams and drinks as they wanted!

The room was a little small, but not that bad, after all we were hardly in there. Another thing i wasnt expecting was the hotel had an onsite gift shop and launderette, brilliant idea I thought.

The entertainment, well what can i say? The 3 staff michael, jenny and leona were really freindly, and kept everyone busy, the daytime entertainment was a little bit for everyone, the night time, the hours mini disco for the kids was ok, and the evening was really varied, kids loved Miss carla the drag act, the "robbie williams" act was fantastic, as was the hypnotist. One singer, Jim Rhodes definately got better and better, when he got down the applause was deafening!

A couple of tips now, invest in a frisbee to carry your drinks, easier than juggling the plastic cups (which are only used outside anyway) and another, definately take some bread and paddle out into the sea, the fish really do eat out of your hands! (Just beware of the jellyfish)

All in all, The El Greco is a brilliant hotel, we will definately return.

Excellent weeks holiday. The food is great, a wide choice every day and seemingly endless supplies of it! The only negative comment would be that the choice at "suppertime" was only ever ham or cheese sandwiches - nothing else.

The hotel is located so that you walk straight onto the beach from the hotel grounds - about a 30 second walk from the building. The staff couldn't do enough to help and were friendly and attentive.

I've never been very impressed with holiday entertainment and this time was no different - kids enjoyed it though. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to any family.
