We booked our holiday through First Choice with the impression that this was a great hotel to stay in if you want to relax and have a quiet holiday with bars and resturants near but not on your doorstep.
Will all I can say is that one thing was right! The bars and restruants were a short walk away. I can honestly say I have never stayed in such a nasty, filty hovel in my whole life! We arrived in the hotel at around 2am and were there less then half an hour when a fight broke out on our floor as we were heading to our room. The lift was broken so we have to lug our cases up 5 floors and walk past the fight!
We finally got to our room to find that there was no double bed, which we had been told there would be and cockroach bodies all over the floor. The appartment had clearly not been cleaned for a long time. Very thing about the appartment was nasty and we were expected to cook there as it was self catering! We finally settled down to try and sleep and the room next door started playing music, when they finally turned it off at 5:30 the boys from the other room arrived home and put theirs on! We looked around in the morning light and found the neighbour peeing off the balcony and the pool area was even worse then ouir room! The next morning we found out that our quiet, relaxing hotel was actually and 18-30's one.
First Choice were very good and we were moved hotels the next day after some issues and an additional cost.
WARNING! FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT A 18-30'S HOLIDAY IN A HOVEL THEN I REALLY WOULD NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. TOTAL SCORE -10 OUT OF 10.

My friend and I have just returned from the Los Salmones and I would definitely stay in these apartments again, before we left I read some reviews and was really worried but on arriving in Playa Del Ingles I was pleasantly suprised!
The accommodation was just what we wanted, reasonably priced, great location & clean! its within easy walking distance (we are girls and had high heels!!) to the pubs & clubs, the Irish centre is practically on the doorstep & Kasbah is just up the road.
The room was clean and tidy, the maids came in everyday to make beds & leave clean towels.
We saw 1 cochroach whilst we were there but we expected this as thats what happen when you go to their country!!
The beach was lovely and also just down the road, there are supermarkets within a stones throw also.
As we were self catering we only had food from the snack menu which was fine for the money.
All in all I had a fantastic holiday and wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Los Salmones again!!

From reading some reviews before staying at Los Salmones we were slightly worried what it would be like, especially with the cockroach situation. However, we never saw any! it was clean and the staff were really friendly.
We got to know some of the reps Terry and Val who were lovely also and went out on a few nights out with them. The nightlife was good fun although not a lot of bars to choose from, but the Irish centre and brogans were great!
Beaches were beautiful and stretched for miles although you did get pestered by local men!
A really good holiday overall, I'd definitely go back!

We had booked 2 rooms in this complex but decided only to use one to live in as it was big enough for the four of us (2adults and 2kids). We went to check on our other room a day later to find that it had been given to another family my husband walked in to find a family lounging around. We had to get another room from reception.
The towels were like dishrags with holes in them and the rooms were very musty and damp all in all we killed about 60 cockroaches in the one week, my son went to go into the bathroom one evening and there was a cockroach on the handle of the door.
It was hard to sleep in the room as I kept imaging cockroaches everywhere. The staff sprayed the room for us but the little blighters kept coming back this is a place we wont go back to if we got it for nothing.

Me and my fiance stayed for a week in the Los Salmones hotel. We were slightly worried as we had read some not so good reviews!! However when we got there we were pleasantly surprised!
We requested a room not on the ground floor but were told by reception when we arrived that only ground floor rooms were available. When we got to our room our TV was missing and there was a dead cockroach on the floor! My fiance went to complain and they immediately moved us to another room - on the fifth floor!! (so much for no rooms left!)
This room was much better with a tidy sized balcony. The room was clean and the maids came every other day. The lift was very dodgy though! I used the stairs!!
The pool was massive and lilos were allowed in - maybe because it wasn't peak season. The weather was really nice.
The location of the hotel is brilliant. Nice walk to the beach and perfect for the nightlife.
Would definitely go back again!

We stayed in Los Salmones in August 2005. We weren't there for an 18-30 holiday, but we were aware that other holidaymakers were staying at this hotel for this.
However, our room was pretty good, but a bit small-just right for two people, but no more. I stayed in someone else's room a few nights, and I could not believe the difference between our rooms! Her room had cockroaches crawling out from inside the sofa-loads of them! I'm not sure if that was just a one off room, because mine was really nice.
The pool was brilliant, it seemed the biggest out of the surrounding hotels, and it was really chilled out.
I found the bar staff to be friendly enough.
The food was ok, but not great.
The reception staff were quite helpful.
One major downer from this holiday, is the security guard....it was like being in an army boot camp when he was working!! He was like sergeant major. Not a nice man.
Location of hotel was brilliant, Irish centre, Kasbah and Yumbo centres are all very close, and are brilliant nights out.
I am definitely going to go to Los Salmones again.

The apartments are situated in a really good location, right beside the Irish centre which is a magic night out!
We found the room quite small for 4 of us but it would be fine for 2 people. They were kept clean and the maid came most days. The kitchen facilities were adequate since we were only ever having snacks.
We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant so can't comment on that, but there were nice snacks through the day at the pool bar.
The pool was fairly big with lots of sun loungers, but just be sure to go down before 11ish when they start to get filled up.
The hotel is very noisy since about 90% of people there are on an 18-30s holiday but that didn't bother us too much since we were out most nights anyway, and didn't usually get back until early hours.
There wasn't really much entertainment at the apartments, there was karaoke most nights but you're so close to the Irish centre, you'd be as well go there!
I would without a doubt recommend these apartments to anyone going on a young and lively holiday.

Spent two weeks in Los Salmones and would gave it an ok - the pool is big enough to have a good laugh in but make sure your a good swimmer before jumping in as I thought I saw the Titanic in one end of it, it was that deep!
Theres plenty of sun loungers around and you are sure to get a few, but if you want it around the pool you'll have to be down early.
The bar staff were nice enough, but at the front desk I thought they were a bit cheeky. The cleaners didnt really come to the rooms much, I think the room was cleaned twice in two weeks and the beds were never changed! Also at times we had to steal toilet roll as they never left enough!
The room is small enough and would be better suited for 2 people, cooking facilties were ok but you eat out most of the time anyway as theres plenty of cheap food places.
The place was loud and packed with drunken people through-out my 2 week stay - excatly what I wanted! I dont think I slept one night before 4 o'clock at least and even that was early!
One bad side was we had some money stole from the safe, but we still dont know how that happened??

I stayed in Los Salmones last August and i thought it was going to be a complete dump since I was travelling with an 18-30s group.
Surprisingly the rooms weren't too bad. Was just what I was looking for because I wasn't in the room too much. Didn't get back to the apartment before 4am usually in and around the 8am mark so didn't notice any noise.
A lot of young groups just wanting to have a good hol and get drunk seem to come to this hotel.
Would recommend this hotel too young and lively groups def not families.
Going back to Playa Del Ingles this year as it is a fantastic resort. So much entertainment in the main centres i.e Irish and Kasbah.

The hotel was an absolute discrace there were about 40 cockroaches in our room which crawled all over you at night.
The shower was hot when it wanted to be. The cleaners came in about twice in two weeks.
The whole hotel was very shabby there were youngsters in there early teens drunk and very noisy.
The pool was quite large but it was always full of louts drinking and smoking around the edge of the pool I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone.
How this was given a two star was beyond belief it should have been minus one.
