Azuline Hotel Atlantic

The studio room was very nicely appointed. Clean, good-sized modern bathroom; very natty kitchen area which had a microwave, 2 hobs and a full sized fridge with a freezer compartment, all hidden behind four cupboard doors looking a bit like another wardrobe. Wardrobe space was ample for three or four if that many shared the room. Beds (which we found had new but hard, not particularly comfy matresses) were arranged slightly apart from the living area which would make it suitable to put little ones to bed and not seem to have them in the same room. Only Self Catering is recommended as the food is dire with very little choice. Having stayed at the two other hotels in this group in the same resort, both official 2* hotels, we were expecting at least the same quality of food, if not better from this 4* hotel, but were absolutey shocked at the poor quality of the ingriedients and choice offered. We paid 116 euros a night for half board and felt totally ripped off as far as the food was concerned. We can eat almost anything as long as it is fresh, but really struggled to find a meal. In the 2 hr dinner period, if the display went, nothing replaced it. The cuts of meat were very obviously the cheapest, some looking decidedly 'old' and were prepared with no regard to making the best of a bad lot by a cook (can't call him chef) who was either depressed or disinterested.

Facilities for small children. Childrens entertainers were fantastic. Bar staff were unfriendly and it always seemed like an effort for them to serve you. Food in the hotel resturant was poor with a lack of choice. I would only return to this hotel on a self catering basis.
