Basically this is a pporish hotel but the purpose of my visit was to check out the area as im returning for the Football Barca v Man U this hotel is ok for sleeping in, and not much more , but then what we pais only really amounted to sleeping in there anyway, in the end i had a result because i found a bar called Legends that is run by a couple from Mancheser who were more than helpful about everything they are United fans like me and have sorted me out for coming back for the match Remember this hotel is defienetly value for money as long as you dont pay a lot for it

I stayed in this hotel the end of April with my husband and 2 small children, the hotel was basic very clean we had a poor view from th back a construction site.
Entertainment was quite poor but thee was a little something on.
Location was great just over road was beach 5 min walk to train station, we visited Barcelona (WAS FAB) bout hour away and only 6EURO 20, shops, supermarket, chemist near by, out of the hotel and right for about 20 mins is sata susanna which is lovely and also has another H.TOP hotel Royal Sun.
Food ok
Breakfast always same slimey egg, toast beans, fruit juice, sausage, streaky bacon,And a selection of cereals.
Dinner fish cakes, chicken nuggets, chips, gravy, salad, burgers.
Tea always some type of fish, another meat(PORK,LAMB,BEEF,CHICKEN), chips a type of pasta, salad, vegetables, soup, bread rolls,pasta sauce, gravy.
Snacks, burgers, chips ham cheese, buns, salad.
Drinks good a daily cocktail and wide selection of other drinks, just a shame the glasses are really small ad only allowed 2 drinks at a time.

lets just say we arrived on the monday and tried booking a flight home the following morning. we had planned on staying for a week at the hotel, however the staff, accomodation and location have to be the worst i have ever seen. my first impression when arriving was a young girl having a slanging match with the barman and lots of drunken little boys making lots of noise.
we couldn't sleep due to all the noise created by the people staying there. unfortunately as i am not a smoker, the inside of the hotel smelled like an ash tray.
on all accounts i would advise people with any self respect to stay away from this hotel.
the beds seem to be restored from an air raid shelter and anyone taller than 6ft would have difficulty even moving in the hostel style bedrooms.

be warned.

Me and my friend decided to book a short 3 day break to this hotel during February. We got a very good deal from the teletext website and no wonder why. On arrival, at about 11.30pm we were standing in reception for ages before we got to check in because they were having an arguement with some new holiday makers over room reservations. We hadnt had a drink since getting off the flight about 3hrs previously but were told that we couldnt get any drinks until we'd come back down and got our cards done complete with photo etc. By the time this was done the bar wouldnt serve us drinks as after midnight you have to pay regardless of whether you're all inclusive or not. For some reason we didnt have any euros on us, only sterling and both the bar and reception sent us back and forth saying the other one would change the money up. We eventually got given a bottle of water by the barman and told to pay the next day.

The food was horrible and usually the same as well. Id say breakfast was the best meal but that was only because you got to make yourself toast and they had little muffins out. Scrambled eggs are sloppy though and the bacon is streaky so i stayed away from this. Occasionally you'd get a couple of nice things at dinner but on the whole, it wasnt very nice. We would've gone out and eaten no problems but due to the time of year nearly everything was shut. The hotel is on a massive long road that runs parallel with the beach and is packed with shops and restaurants. I know resorts close down out of season but this is ridiculous. We found 1 pub open that was quite a walk away and we found 2 cafes and 1 shop. This was after walking up and down this road for about an hour. The hotel entertainment was awful as well so we were well and truly bored. Spent most of the time in our room either sleeping or watching the couple of English TV channels. We'd been to Turkey 2 months before over new year and even though this was out of season, everything was still open and we had a great time!

The hotel staff were not particularly friendly and didnt make any effort to stike up conversation with you. In the summer though, im sure the location of the hotel is pretty good. The beach is right across the road and there's also a main railway line which im sure is good for trips etc. All in all though, i wouldnt return to this resort and certainly not this hotel.

Can't complain about the hotel or its location. But could about many of the people staying there. All they did was moan about the food and hotel. What do people want for their money? It's 3 star at the end of the day, and most of them seemed to be enjoying the free flowing alcohol.

The food was fine during the first couple of days but after that I must admit we did choose to eat out. To be honest though I think the problem was that the kitchen isn't too well ventilated and all the food smells travel through the hotel and often don't smell too tempting, but what we did eat we did enjoy and food was available for most of the day.

I have just come back from and extremely chilling break.


The rooms were cleaned every day, all the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

My partner and myself feel cheated of our family break this year. We arrived to a smooth check-in only to find out that the H.Top Planamar website was false and there was no kids pool or play area, also no gym.

The room was simply awful, it felt like a prison cell, we had to lock ourselves in as the door kept opening.

I could hardly move in the so called bathroom and the balcony was a joke with a building site view, not good.

Now onto the food, if that's what they call it, I wouldn't serve this muck to a dog. We tried sausage one night only to find it was red in the middle, burgers where the same.

My son wouldn't go in the place and my partner & myself soon followed him. Hence we had to eat out each night so all our money soon went.

The H.Top bus service was the only thing that kept the nightmare together, booking free trips to other resorts with 4 star H.Top hotels which we could have lunch in.

That was until the bus never picked us up from Lloret which left us stranded other stranded H.Top guests were told to get a taxi and they would be refunded, but when we said we were staying an H.Top Planamar they told us to get a bus & train and they would refund us, but they never did.

We were fuming and just wanted to get home. This place needs to be knocked down as it is in such a great location.

If anyone has this hotel booked have trust in me and cancel, you will thank me in the end, it really is that bad.

we stayed in this hotel on an all inclusive basis on a 3 night break.
the location of the hotel is fine, within walking distance of most things. also, the train station is about 5-10 mins walk away.
the hotel staff were polite & helpful when asked for items or assistance.
the entertainment was typical spanish cabaret type of things but there did not appear to be any 'kids clubs'.
the food in this hotel was absolutely shocking - we chose to eat out at all times!
we would not visit this hotel again.
