Good Points

The hotel itself is lovely and clean and the beach is private. The maid cleans daily replacing towels etc.


Bad Points

The hotel prices are an absolute joke. A glass of brandy is £4.OO for a 25ml measure. A fruit ice lolly and a magnum lolly worked out at over £3.


General Comments

This is the fourth time we have stayed at the Hotel Corinthia Atlantic but since this time last year the prices have rocketed and the service has gone down hill. We waited over an hour for room service, which was just sandwiches and coffee, they forgot the coffee. We waited half an hour for drinks to be brought to our table, which we ordered before a meal. The grilled chicken meal took nearly 50 minutes to come. You wouldn't mind but they do tend to expect a tip. I don't know if the hotel has changed hands but we did notice lots of new staff and they only seem to be able to do their designated job. For example, three barmen were behind the lobby bar, they said they'd run out of beer and couldn't go to the bar in the restaurant to get one until the waiter came back. I think because it has become more popular they aren't desperate for our trade as in previous years, which is a shame as it's only a short flight and wonderful weather. Maybe try Egypt next time!
