Sotavento Beach Club

We had a really enjoyable stay and were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade on arrival – such a nice touch! The hotel grounds were clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with a very relaxing atmosphere. What stood out most was how kid-friendly the place is. There were plenty of activities for children. The food was good– both breakfast and dinner offered lots of variety. The staff were also incredibly kind and accommodating, always smiling and happy to help. The only thing that could be improved is the room furniture, which felt a bit outdated. A refresh to more modern decor would make the stay even better. Overall, a great experience!

The hotel is very nice, and the food is also decent, but it gets quite repetitive – practically the same thing every day, which becomes quite tiring during a minimum 7-day stay. Another issue is that the hotel is obsessively geared toward German tourists. Everyone speaks to you in German, and everything is written in German, which I think is very unfair to guests from other countries. You speak to a shop assistant – a Spanish woman – in English or Spanish, and she replies like a robot in German. That’s a bit crazy. Stop kissing up to German tourists so much… The food is clearly tailored to Germans, who, as everyone knows, aren’t particularly demanding. Rooms, cleanliness, and views are definitely a plus. A downside is that you can’t use the pool in the evening – it’s closed by 4 or 6 PM. Karaoke and all entertainment activities for kids and adults are conducted exclusively in German. The animators are German. You don’t seem to consider that visitors also come from countries like England, Poland, the Czech Republic, or elsewhere. The obsession with the German language and German guests is a big NEGATIVE.

Terrible experience – the staff doesn’t speak English at all. Even ordering a simple drink is a struggle. They can’t say basic things like “hello” or “goodbye” in English. Everything is in German. You come to Spain for vacation, but it feels like you’re in Germany – you barely hear any Spanish. All the animations are in German, the restaurant menu is in German, and the entire hotel is clearly targeted at German guests. Room cleaning is inconsistent – sometimes they clean, sometimes they don’t. Food is okay but very repetitive, same dishes every day. Juice used in drinks is terrible. The staff doesn’t understand the language, so how can they be genuinely polite? The beach is small, and it’s basically just German tourists playing volleyball. Sunbeds on the beach are not included – you have to pay extra. There’s no water provided in the room – even with all inclusive, you have to go buy water at the store. That’s just absurd. On the positive side, the rooms are large and spacious.
