Globales Costa Tropical Hotel My partner and I stayed here for just over a week and we would not come back - we found the hotel did not live up to our expectations unfortunately. Room We booked the double room with a pool/terrace view and we found it to be nice and spacious. It unfortunately let itself down when discovering the sofa was soaking wet (when sitting down, where the back of our legs touched the sofa) which was a bit gross. We later on saw an unidentified brown substance coming from under the sofa when we had pushed it back - we still do not know what this was… lol! The bedroom had a nice amount of storage space for us but had an overall grimy feeling with lots of stains on the shelves and bedside tables. The bed was not the comfiest and is 2 single beds pushed together so beware of falling down the middle. The sheets are not very comfortable, with the main comforter being very scratchy feeling and combined with the heat don’t feel nice at all. The pillows are OK, not the best but preferences for pillows obviously vary a lot for each person. Food & Drink We booked the all inclusive so we had breakfast, lunch, evening meal, snacks & drinks all provided. We are not big drinkers anyway but the cocktail situation was quite poor and didn’t taste very nice so we primarily had Pepsi max’s all of the time (which was still really nice!). The drink situation was a little bit odd at snack times - the snacks (burgers, hot dogs, chips etc) are provided in the main restaurant area where there are soft drink dispensaries. We were not allowed to get drinks from this area during snack time and instead had to get them from the pool bar which seemed very inconvenient in my opinion. I understand the staff will not want you to take out the glass cups as this is a safety issue however they have plastic cups available right next to the drink station which could be used? This situation did not make much sense to me at all, as soon as you started walking over to the drink machines at snack time there was instantly a member of staff appearing out of nowhere telling you to stop and to get a drink from the pool bar. The food was not the greatest that we have had, I would say that the breakfast was the best meal at the hotel and I really enjoyed the sausages. I was having the scrambled eggs often but then they smelt very very off one morning and it put me off them for the rest of the holiday. Lunchtime & snacks were simple but still enjoyable. We did not actually have the lunch option very often and opted sticking to the snack bar, but the few times we had the lunch option I opted for the pasta and some grated cheese which was nice. Dinner was the least enjoyable of all, and I have read the hotel responses to reviews where they explain the menu is varied for international tastes, however I would actually say there was a severe lack of options and very samey samey every night. One night, we saw a man with his plate piled high of literally just chips and
