Just got back from this hotel , 2 weeks with our family. The rooms where cleaned on a regular basis and where spacious with good views and facilities.
The pool area was busy and beds where difficult to get unless you waited there at 7.30 am. The tiles around the pool are lethal and we witnessed at least 6 people slipping heavily. If you take children ensure they wear footwear around the pool please.
The hotel bar is well equiped but expensive and under staffed 3.40 euros for a pint of local beer. Some evenings we sat and watched the entertainement which was the arguments at the bar regarding who would be served next. I had one member of staff tring to palm a 10 euro note from my change, without success, which was duly reported to the management. On the whole all the staff where very helpfull.
Eating out is cheap and can be cheaper if you know where to go. Most drinks are 1 euro each during the day in peurto colon and a full breakfast can be had for as little as 1.85 euros.but watch they don`t sting you on the price of drinks.
A good meal is china garden at peurto colon, cheap and chearfull hot chinese buffet , eat as much as you like for 5 euros, great selection and freindly staff, well worth a visit.
Taxis are essential at this hotel and the 123 cars will never charge you the same fair twice, they have a magic button for tourists which bumps the price up when you arrive so watch out and try to agree a fair before you set off. Night walks back from town are not recommended due to the prostitutes who ply their trade on the route to the hotel, the day time is safe and hassle free though. I would recommend no valuables left unatended on the beaches as they will soon go.
One lady was mugged outside the hotel during our stay and she was assaulted infront of her small child for her handbag, common sense says don`t let single females and children go walking about in the dark with handbags. Appart from this a good time was had by all.
My recommendation, get a hotel closer to town, you`ll save

we were initially happy with our choice of hotel apart from its location. It is situated smack bang in the middle of a golf course with only one road in and out. With four small children in our party we only tried walking into towm on one occasion. The walk back being mainly uphill. This meant a hire car and taxis for the rest of the week.
The hotel bar was very expensive. Over five euros for a bacardi breezer and often understaffed.
The entertainment was a mixture of what you would expect on a package holiday along with some great acrobatic shows. It kept the kids happy whilst we had a last couple of drinks before bed.
The swimming pool was shallow enough for my five year old to stand in bit hundreds of the mosaic tiles were missing and we all caught ou toes on them.
I f I were going to visit this hotel again on a self catering basis it would only be if i were on a adult golfing holiday.

I have got to say this hotel was immaculate! They had lots of things for the kids to do. (E.g Playground, water polo, computers, nightly entertainment). The room was very spacious. We had and upstairs to our apartment which had a balcony looking out to the golf course and the other to the pool!

Our room was cleaned everyday. The staff were very helpful. The only problem was that there were tiles missing in the pool which one of my children cut there toe on! The pool area is also very busy. Meaning you'd have to make sure u had a towel on a bed before 8am!

Even though I would sure visit the hotel again!

Although we had booked to stay at the compostella beach, we ended up at this accommodation. The only downfall to this was that there was no air conditioning, also no fans left for hire at reception. The room was very clean as was the whole building; the staff were very friendly especially at reception good English speaking. the entertainment seemed to be good for children, we did not stay at the complex at night so I could not comment, I would stay here again, even though I have booked for different apartments for November, which I

We have stayed in this hotel quite a lot. The first few times we went were great.

The staff were brilliant and the entertainment was brilliant, all the kids went off, the but the last time we went the standards had droped incredibly


There were loads of tiles missing out of the pool which cut a few of the kids feet open. The floor tiles were slippery nearly all of us sliped over. This man slipped over hit his head and ended up in the pool he had a serious head injury

The hotel was very crowded, hard to get a sun bed but it was high season so that didn't help much the staff were stressed out a lot

The location of this hotel is not that good an if you were planning on staying in this hotel I would say to come when it's low season

Compostela beach was the best holiday yet!

The location was fantastic, and the people were great.

The PR's for the bars could be annoying to start but became friends by the end of the holiday.

The bar staff in the clubs are great and most speak English. Karaoke bars are the best... especially after a few drinks.

This is a fantastic place to stay for anyone under the age of 40 (otherwise it can get a touch noisy.)

It is right on top of everything you need. Great restaurants. Fab bars (Georges, The soul suite.....) Shopping malls and even great entertainment in the complex I would strongly recommend it.

Excellent! The rooms were very clean and very spacious, the pool area was ideal for young children as it is only about 3 foot deep but very slippy around the sides. The food was nice in the pool side bar but a bit on the expensive side.

The entertainment was ideal for kids but not at all for adults but is was a nice walk (about 15 mins) to the main bars and restaurants in Playa De Las Americas which were really nice the food and the drink there was very cheap! We also went to a place that they call the patch this was a street full of pubs and restaurants for families. We spent a few nights in a pub called The Royal the entertainment there was brilliant we had a good laugh.

The staff at the hotel was very nice and they all spoke very good English. If you do visit this hotel i would recommend you go self catering because it was very cheap to eat out and you dont have to eat at set times. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone and i am going to book again later on in the year!

The apartment we were in, which overlooked the golf course was big and spacious. The kitchen was a proper kitchen with an oven, four rings, fridge freezer, toaster and coffee maker. There were plenty of cupboard space. The double bedroom was also very roomy with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space for hanging your clothes. The only thing I would say about our apartment was it took us about 1/2 hr to find it once we were given our key - hotel map not very clear. Apartments cleaned every day.

There were always plenty of sunbeds, even at 3pm in the afternoon. The sunbeds are free unless you want a pad (which costs 2 euros per day).

We did not get involved in the entertainment but seemed quite good for children. There is also a large sandpit which is child safe.

The apartments are quite a walk away from the centre of town. From the apartments you have to walk up a hill and then it is downhill into town. Walking back from town during the day is ok (apart from in the afternoon when it is too hot) but I would recommend a taxi at night. There is a path but it is not lit.

The shop on the hotel grounds sells freshly made bread - lovely.

In all we have a great time and I would recommend Compostella Beach Golf III especially if you like golf!
