4 day break
22 June 2008
After an uncomfortable early morning flight entering the Las Piramides was a great pick me up. The reception area was clean and beautifully decorated, check in was quick and easy, and the room was exactly what we ordered: On the 7th floor with a breath taking view from the balcony of the mountains to our left and the pool and sea to the right. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a great size with a huge mirror. The hotel's location is very convenient, with the zoo, shopping center, and all the bars and restaurants only a short walk away. The pool area was great with enough sun loungers to go round. A few small gripes though..... For starters, there was only one socket in the room with an adapter for the mini bar and the TV. This meant that to plug my phone charger in I had to unplug the mini bar which we had paid 35 euros to fill! Although the price of the rooms was excellent, the restaurant and poolside bar were very expensive (9 euros for a cheeseburger, 2.5 euros for a coke, 9 euros for a pint of beer and a glass of wine!), however they do have a happy hour where all drinks are 2-for-1 which was greatly appreciated. Jacuzzi and gym facilities were also available at an added charge (3 euros a day for the jacuzzi which was only open for 3 hours!). The lock on the bathroom door was also a bit dodgy and managed to lock us out, but security were quick to come up and rectify the problem even at 4 in the morning. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying there again, as well as recommend the Las Piramides to anyone looking for a comfortable few days away. Oh, and the parrot show was very entertaining!
