Zoraida Garden

Lovely hotel in nice quiet area. Paid for a seaview and was well worth the extra bit, view of pool and sea supurb. Pool is fantastic, sea not so good, shingle beach but sea drops down very quick, unsafe for kids. Entertainment was good during the day, plenty to keep you going if you wanted too. Only let down was the food, not much choice and not that varied, chicken was only ever drumsticks, plenty of squid and meatballs, not my choice of food, but dont let this put you off, you can eat out if you wish at a cheap rate too, I would stay again, but dont go there if you looking for night life,, there isnt any. Rooms nice, clean towels daily and sheets changed twice in the week, very good. Well done Alpharooms once again.

We have just returned from a week at Zoraida Garden. This is what you can expect.... A hotel in 5 star setting, with a pool that looks like a lake, nice gardens and lots of sunbeds, but get up early for a good spot. Be prepared also to battle with the flies. Insect repellant is essential. If you want a good spot, especially near the kiddies pool put your towels on the sunbed early, everyone else does! The rooms were clean, reasonable sized family rooms, nice terraces and do pay alittle extra for a stunning sea view. It's worth it. However don't expect luxury you've only paid for 3 star!
Bring your granny here, your teenage dughters and your kids, they'll all love it. The entertainment programme is simple but effective. Water aerobics, dancing classes, games on the terrace, some shows andlive music. Your teenage boys should probably walk to the end of the garden to reach the beach(50 meters)the water sports will probably suit them better. There are plenty of English speaking staff and they all work very hard. However this is a tourist class hotel as far as food is concerned. Buffet style, plenty of fruit, salads and veg. Let your kids feast on pizza, fish fingers and sausages you can eat endless chips and pasta, choose from a small selection of meat based dishes and one or 2 local dishes. A nice touch every night is a chef cooking meat or fish  and a few extras on a griddle so something fresh, straight from the pan every night
If you like desserts go out and buy them after dinner. You won't be impressed with the Hotels choice. You will however be able to have a nearly English" breakfast every morning or choose from several other options, again not exciting but adequate and catering for Germans, Scandinavians etc with cold meats, cheese etc.
We found this to be a very well situated hotel with impressive communal areas, beautiful reception etc and all the components for a really good holiday for couples and families. With a bit of refurbishment in the bedrooms and a review of their catering they could compete at a 4 star level.
