Broncemar Beach

Unbearably hot room. One ceiling fan in the apartment and our room was 34°c on arrival and didn’t get below 30°c (travelling with a 2 year old, temperature shown on baby monitor). No ventilation and windows and doors were not very secure (didn’t close/lock properly and if they did, became impossible to open). Pools were nice and the kids water play area was really good. Downside was that it wasn’t cleaned throughout the day, so there was a big buildup of rubbish/cups/plates. Room lacked any basic amenities. Self catering apartment and we weren’t supplied any washing up liquid or even a cloth/sponge for dishes. Questionable if they had ever been cleaned. Our room was “cleaned” once during the 8 days (beds made, but nothing else) and we had towels replaced twice. Area around the hotel/outside the front was scattered with e-scooters making get a buggy in/out difficult. The glass barrier surround the steps/slope up to the hotel was smashed and just taped up with cardboard. There was broken glass and rubbish outside the front. Staff on reception were pleasant but not very helpful. After raising the same issues 3 times it finally got sorted (smelly drains in our room and broken outside light). I question the 3 star rating, even though some of their signs still advertise them as a 4 star (would give them 2 at best)! Directly under the flight path so very noisy. The safety deposit box is €3 a day. You don’t have an enclosed/private area. Will not be returning.

very modern and well thought out; comfortable place to be and near the airport which ticks a lot of my boxes
