Hotels near Tierras de Gairia, Maxorata

Stayed for one night on a solo trip from corralejo, everything was spotless,great location the place was lovely will definitely be back again.

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!

As many reviews mention this hotel is a little run down and tired looking, but this did not have an impact on our holiday. Checking in was quick and the room was spacious and clean if a little dated, it was also very hot due to no air conditioning . The pool was OK and cleaned daily, we did not have an issue with the opening times. We did feel maybe a few more umbrellas would have been good for those who prefer the shade. We were all inclusive and the pool snacks were good although we feel maybe the alcohol was heavily watered down as the measures were huge yet had no effect although the lack of a hangover was appreciated! The food was repetitive and not much choice, we never went hungry but after 2 weeks we just wanted something different. We did know before we went there was not much around the hotel it is in the middle if nowhere a walk to the next town took 40 mins. The entertainment was mediocre, during the day Giovanni made it he was very Friendly and checked on everyone every morning. We did have a good break but feel maybe 2 weeks was too long due to food and location. If you are looking for a short quiet break we would recommend.

Only stayed one night as late booking due to poor punctuality of Ryanair . It is in a very remote location so I could not stay for more than 2 days but was ideal for a short notice overnight stop . See views were nice and the double glazing stopped at the noise from the sea. This was a waste as the walls were so thin your could hear someone cough in the next room. Felt like the cleaner next door was in our room with us . Never ate as had to leave early the next morning .
