Apartamentos Hesperia Bristol Playa

We stayed at this beautiful hotel from 7th to 14th September. It has a lovely swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds. There was a pool bar open until 18.00 which sold lovely snacks/meals and hot and cold drinks. Another bar which had entertainment on every night was in the main building. There was a lady singer on 3 times in the week who was brilliant. There was also a male singer who was performing a couple of times a week and in the pool bar one lunchtime. He sang and played the guitar, fabulous. The hotel is built in a Spanish style which was so nice, rather than square boxes. The reception area was lovely, with Spanish tiles on the walls and ceiling. The rooms had everything we needed, kitchen area was very well equipped. Very modern shower room, comfy bed and plenty of room on the balcony. Everywhere on site was kept neat and tidy and clean. The staff at the hotel were very pleasant and helpful. There was a rep from Jet2 at the hotel, Brent. He was so helpful and wrote different places on a map for us, told us which buses to get if we wanted to go to different areas and was generally helpful. We didn't go with Jet2 but that didn't matter. Thanks very much for your help Brent. The hotel is at the back of the resort and opposite the entrance to the hotel is the sea. There is a small supermarket on site which is reasonably priced, maybe slightly more for odd things. It sells food, drink and gifts but there are a couple of larger supermarkets within a short walk.There is a walk of about 30 minutes to the harbour area where you will find lots of nice bars/restaurants. We had a lovey week and loved the hotel. Thanks very much to everyone.

The staff were all friendly and helpful, and everywhere was clean and tidy. The shop was open from 8.30am until 9pm, and although on the first night I only managed to get to the shop at 8.55pm l was not made to feel rushed by the assistant. Being just over the road from the sea was great, and although that is not a sandy beach it provided a pleasant 10 minute walk to the marina. All amenities were within easy walking distance.

The reviews weren’t good but I thought it was fine. The apartments are basic but do the job, the bathroom was clean and the shower was lovely. The pool bar and Dany were fab, and the bar and supermarket on site were great. Staff were lovely. Find a short cut and your 10mins from the town centre max. It does need some upgrades but they were on with this while we were there and it was lovely to see the progress. I would stay again but would choose a room with a balcony overlooking the pool, we didn’t get the sun on the sea view balcony due to the time of year and the wind off the sea made it unusable. Thanks for a lovely week.

It was easy to find and close to the bus stop. A good location at the top of the town, close to the port and only a 12 minute walk to the town beach, maybe 20 to Waikiki. The apartments were all interesting designs and many had views front and back. The room was very clean and the bed comfy. We had plenty of hot water. The pool bar had sun all day and served a basic selection of food that was reasonable and tasty. The shop was well stocked and opened long hours with fresh bread each morning. Reception were friendly and helpful although a little slow, often a queue.

The location is perfect for those who prefer to visit the old town and local bars and restaurants. There are some really nice cafes close by also. The staff from all areas are very pleasant and helpful. I would like to give a special mention this time to the girls on reception in particular Evelyn who went way above and beyond in helping us when we could not get transport to the airport on our departure. We would not have been able to make our flight home without her. She was our guardian angel,and went out of her way to resolve a quiet stressful situation. Considering at the time the staff on the desk were having quiet a stressful time themselves dealing with some particularly difficult guests. I have stayed here many times and always found ALL of the staff to be helpful and respectful. They will do their best to help make you vacation pleasant ,and deserve the guests respect in return. Looking forward to going back.
