Hotels near Ecomuseo La Alcogida, Maxorata

Check in muy fácil y rápido, el señor que me dio las llaves muy amable, la habitación muy limpia (¡olía riquísima!) y con mini refrigerador y ventilador - ATENTOS que no hay aire acondicionado. La cama era muy cómoda también. El hotel está cerca de todas las atracciones principales de la capital majorera. ¡Espero volver pronto! Check in very quick and easy, the gentleman that gave me the room key was very friendly, the room was clean and smelled amazing (with mini fridge and a fan inside - BE AWARE that the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning) and the bed was very comfy. The hotel is close to all of the main attractions the capital of the island has to offer. I hope to return soon!

I arrived at Castillo in the early evening of October 2nd 2023 as a solo traveller. Having left home some 8 hours previously, I felt tired , hungry , and thirsty and was therefore looking forward to being welcomed to my apartment quickly and efficiently as a holidaymaker. Instead I found myself face to face with a surly and charmless young man who ran through the check in procedure in a bored and disinterested fashion before thrusting a grainy and badly photocopied map into my hand in order to find my apartment myself amongst hundreds of similar white bungalows in the complex At this point I might add I’m the only traveller checking in at that point. Some 45 minutes later I find my apartment after walking round the complex umpteen times , if the check in guy had removed himself from behind the desk and simply pointed to a gate 50 yards up the road all this could have been avoided. The apartment was tired looking , sagging curtains , broken sofa bed , the main beds were uncomfortable metal frame affairs with a mismatched wooden headboard jammed up between them and the walls No air con , simply antiquated ceiling fans/lights which were hard to figure out to keep running without the lights on. Kitchenette appallingly equipped . Something scuttles when I open a cupboard Blocked drains emitting foul odours in the bathroom The roads around the complex are shocking , featuring broken manhole covers , broken electrical boxes , discarded rubbish lying around , and oh watch out for cars randomly crossing your path without warning from the strange little mini roundabouts which allow cars to zoom in front of people in a pedestrian zone. Also beware the electric scooters hacking around everywhere I think I had 3 room service visits in a fortnight , and despite paying for late checkout on my last day I then had a cleaner wondering why I was still there at 12 , I had to google the words paid late check out to get rid of her , obviously someone hadn’t done their job! Finally if you come here and are not particularly fit , it’s approximately 1 1/4 miles to the nearest beach , despite saying beach resort and a steep uphill climb on the return I’m sure Castillo will give the standard reply to this review , but you need to revamp your rooms , employ staff that are good with people , repair your roads , look after your grounds properly , including using the irrigation system in order to avoid the eyesore of dead plants everywhere, last but not least some general information given to guests and proper signage around the place would greatly help!

Apartments are up the hill which is a good walk or you can get a taxi for about €3.50. Plenty of taxis about. Very basic apartments but they do include everything you need. you need to request fresh towels the day in advance. There is a laundrette on site which charges €5 per wash, also a dryer for around same price. Beds not the greatest so Don’t expect a comfortable sleep but you get what you pay for!

We stayed for 1 week in august . We arrived at approx 9pm and as soon as we stepped off the bus we were welcomed by David. He is a fabulous member of staff and an asset to the hotel. He always spoke to us and our daughter and he even waved us off when we left. Check in was smooth and very friendly and informative and we were offered a drink of our choice while checking in. There was no pressure to leave a card on hold and we said we will sort it the next day. We were given a map of the hotel and we went for some food as the restaurant was still open. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable. Lots of space for clothes. The bathroom was big and I loved the separation of the sinks from the toilet and showers rooms. Idea for a family to all get ready. The hairdryer is very powerful and no need to bring your own. Rooms have robes. The hotel and pool areas are very clean and attention this is always made which I like. The pool beds have pillows which is a nice touch and your towels can be left on the pool beds at end of beach day, no need to take them with you, just collect new ones daily. The biggest thing for us was there is no need to rush down to get beds on the morning, there are plenty and no rushing at all is needed. Food was amazing. We stayed half board. Breakfast- very varied selection of food items in the morning. English bacon and sausages. The toast machine is actually good ha ha. There is a proper coffee machine made by the staff which is a nice touch. Breakfast is open till 11 which I liked. The buffet dinner was excellent and not like a buffet in hotels.. very good food. Location is excellent and the walk into town is approx 10/12 minutes along the prom. ( leave through back gate directly onto the prom and go left) The atlantico ( go out of back gate and turn right) is very close for the supermarket and bars and restaurants and shops. There is a children’s arcade and bowling alley for something different for the kids, and an outside children’s zone. We will definitely be staying again

For context, two adults and an 11 y.old child, All Inclusive, 10-17th Sept. I'm not one for hotel/resort type holidays so had my reservations before I came but I have to say, the experience was fantastic and it was great to see us all enjoy the food and facilities. We arrived about Midday so with rooms available from 3pm we were able to put the luggage in the room by reception and avail ourselves of the food (from 1pm) and drink until the room was ready. The 'front of house' staff were really welcoming, as was everybody connected with the hotel actually. I booked a first floor with pool view given the odd comments on cockroaches, the room was great, beds really comfortable and a good shower. No noise from neighbours and slept like a log! A vast selection of food choice available for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We're not big on eating fish/shell fish but we did try one of those options each night. There's always a couple of 'grill' options available (where most people queue) along with salad bars, cheese/nuts section, veggie section plus the standard pizza/fries type stuff for the less adventurous. I've a sweet tooth so appreciated the Haribo/Marshmallows as an addition to the ice cream ;) Really, a tremendous array of options - I was surprised given some of the reviews. Drinks on tap from morning to night although sometimes the carbonated soda for Pepsi/Fanta etc was flat at some of the pumps - basically you get to know where you go until everything is back to norm. Handy to have the pool bar although we didn't exactly prop ourselves against it! Pool activities in the morning (e.g AquaGym) kept some people busy and other daytime activities kept coming. The 'ActivTeam' members did a sterling job each and every day in keeping the pool activities going, a big thanks for being so generous with your time and for taking time out to chat to my daughter :) I read some comments re. lack of sunbed availability - I really think this must have been June to August as there were plenty available. I also think you'll get to see longer queues in the food halls and bars at peak season too so for me, September was a perfect month to go. Evening mostly revolved around dinner (we chose 19.45-20.45 slot) and then either hanging around to see the entertainment or walking the short distance to Correlejo Old Town. The in-house entertainment was may be one area the hotel struggled with although I wasn't expecting much to be honest and the crowd participation was a bit of a struggle for most acts to get to grips with! :D I appreciated the more 'rock' type music one night but generally we went down to just see what was happening. Drinks - local brand alcohol until 11pm and we got this on the All Inclusive. We're not cocktail drinkers so can't comment on the quality etc.There's a price list for known brands (e.g Smirnoff/Captain Morgan/Bombay Sapphire). The only aspect that was a little frustrating was the constant queue at the evening entertainment bar.

My 17-year-old daughter and I stayed at the hotel in August 2024, our second year in a row here, and once again, it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, the staff friendly staff exceeded our expectations. The reception team was incredibly welcoming and efficient, making check-in a breeze—our bags were taken care of before we even got to our room, which was a fantastic touch. Throughout our stay, the restaurant and bar staff continued this level of service, always friendly and eager to assist. We opted for the all-inclusive package, and it was a great choice. The food selection was extensive and there was always plenty to enjoy. The freshly made pizzas were a highlight, especially for my daughter! We also dined one evening at the Zensation restaurant, where the quality of both food and service was top-notch. Our waiter, Javier, was exceptionally attentive, making our dining experience memorable. We treated ourselves to a couple of massages at the spa, which offered great value for money. The spa staff, Fotou and Fernanda were both professional and exceptionally good at their jobs. Nothing was a problem. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, making it a perfect addition to our stay. While we loved lounging by the pool, we noticed there weren't many parasols available, and they tended to get reserved very early in the morning. A few more parasols would definitely enhance the poolside experience. We stayed in the Zensation suite, which was really comfortable and the air conditioning was brilliant. The room cleaning service was good, and the cleaning staff were always friendly. The hotel’s location is ideal—just a short walk to the El Campanario Centre, which has a variety of cafes, shops, and a charming craft market on Thursdays and Sundays. It's also only about a 15 minute walk to Corralejo and close to the beach, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local area. While we didn’t participate in the hotel's evening entertainment this year, we found plenty to do in Corralejo, especially enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Music Square. Taxis were very affordable for getting back to the hotel after our evenings out, which was a plus. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
