We came to Albufera Park with my 3 year old son for some autumn sun and we were really impressed with the hotel. I should start by saying this is a family hotel and it does that brilliantly, if you do not have children I probably wouldn’t recommend.
The recent renovation means the whole place is really smart and the cleaners do a fantastic job of keeping up with everything, it was spotless. The food and drinks were varied and plentiful. I am a vegetarian and my son has a dairy allergy. Both were catered for although I must call out that the food labels (which had allergens on) were often on the wrong foods, as long as you are aware of that and check the food yourself it’s fine.
The entertainment schedule is also really varied and includes fitness classes, evening shows, bands from outside the hotel, and even things like cocktail classes and Spanish fan making which my son really enjoyed! The kids club looked great but my son was too young, I’m sure they would have welcomed him but he’s happy in the sand of the beautiful beach that the hotel has direct access to.
The other point to celebrate is the fact the hotel is doing a lot to be eco friendly, and not just shouting about it. No single use plastics, refillable cups when glass isn’t appropriate, and I love that the room key was a tag on our bracelets.
All standard drinks are self service which we found really convenient and efficient but you can also go to the bar for a finer drink such as cocktails. Loved it.
