Hotel Drago Park by Pierre & Vacances

We had a fantastic time at the hotel. The location is slightly remote but the beach is within walking distance and it's worth the walk. The hotel is lovely and relaxed. The food and drink on offer was great. I read a lot of reviews before coming here and wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't need to worry as everything was as we wanted our family holiday to be. Rooms were cleaned daily, everyone is really friendly. It's perfect for a family to enjoy. The pools are perfect for small children with the kids pool and even the big pool they were able to use. We would definitely recommend a visit. I would ignore the negative reviews, this was not experienced on our trip at all.

We have just spent a lovely 11 nights at Hotel Drago Park, last week in August, first week in September. We are a family of 4 (kids aged 3 and 6) we arrived quite late (11pm), a quick and easy check in. AI is open til midnight so we were able to drop off our cases and grab a quick drink before bed and starting our holiday. Rooms are spacious and clean with a large balcony. We had 2 large single beds pushed together as a double and a double sofa bed . The bed was comfortable, the sofa bed wasnt the comfiest but the kids slept well on it. The bathroom is a decent size, with a powerful shower, hairdryer and toiletries provided. Just be aware that if the shower is at an angle it can leak out onto the floor making it slippy. The pool is large in the shape of a 'fidget spinner' with the circles being shallower (90cm) and middle deeper 130cm, perfect for swimming but also knowing the kids can stand up too. There is a separate paddling pool at 30cm. Inflatables are allowed in both pools and a life guard is present throughout the day. We had no problem getting a sunbed. The entertainment team are fantastic, so happy, friendly and energetic. They will ask you to join in with activities but wont push you if you dont want to. My daughter and I loved the aqua dance/gym and pool noodle relaxation whilst my husband enjoyed the darts, ping pong and shuffle board. There is a mini disco 6 nights out of 7 and this is also fantastic. They play a range of songs from different nationalities so all children feel included. The girls don't just lead the dances but really interact with the kids. We were lucky that the pool party was still happening on the first week of our trip, a foam party at night on the pool. What an experience for the kids. I think it was their highlight. Unfortunately it didnt happen on our second week as it was classed as out of season. The all inclusive drinks were lovely, proper branded soft drinks, the beer was san Miguel. You could help yourself to beer, soft drinks, hot drinks, water, wine and fruit juices but had to queue at the bar for slushes, cocktails and other drinks. The slushes were delicious and they never ran out. The hot chocolate was really nice, the coffee was an acquired taste but the cappuccino was drinkable. Food wise, there wasn't as much as at some all inclusive but I found this better as didnt over face myself. There was always a chicken, pork, beef or fish dish, plain pasta/spaghetti (great idea as if you wanted sauce you could add it or if you are like me who doesnt like sauces could have it plain). The seasoned potato wedges were delicious. There were chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizzas and occasionally chciken nuggets for the kids with a massive ketchup pump that my two loved. Dessert was lovely - cakes, icecream, mousse. Breakfast was your typical ai breakfast - fry up, pastries, fruit, yogurt... top - the fruit juices from inside the restaurant were stronger than the outside machine. The restaurant was never overly busy, We sat outside rather than in so was quieter. All in all a fantastic holiday. Missing it already We'd definitely return .

Unfortunately, this hotel is not a 4-star place — maybe by local standards, but definitely not by mine. It badly needs refurbishment, and the elevators look like they’re from the mid-90s. We arrived after midnight, around 00:45, and asked for some drinks. Unfortunately, everything had to be paid for, and there was barely any food left. Not even water was available with the late evening meal! I understand charging for alcoholic drinks, but soft drinks or water? This really put me off. The next morning, coffee was another surprise. It’s advertised as all-inclusive, but coffee is only available from an automatic machine. If you want proper coffee, you have to pay extra. Other drinks are also available for an additional charge. I’m not really interested in paying extra for mid-range whisky such as Jack Daniel’s. The cleaner did an OK job, although on two occasions the glasses weren’t cleaned and the bins weren’t emptied, so I had to call reception. The same happened with the body wash and conditioner — I had to contact reception twice. Overall, the hotel is quite noisy. Every movement of a chair or bed in the neighbouring room can wake you up in the evening. The doors also need better seals, as the wind makes quite an annoying noise. Cocktails are very sweet and taste different from bar to bar. The pool bar bartender deserves a big shout-out, though — he served us perfectly every time. Also, the big fella from the entertainment/party area deserves a mention. We spent nearly two weeks here, and without exploring the island and having access to a car, this holiday would not have been enjoyable. The food is quite repetitive, with not a huge choice. However, the soups, stews, desserts and fish were lovely. You could say the food is prepared more for locals, which I actually appreciated. The entertainment was quite good. I believe the staff do what the budget allows them to do. We had one pool party that was fantastic; the rest of the evening entertainment was OK, but nothing spectacular. Overall, I don’t think I can recommend this hotel, and I definitely wouldn’t come back.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. At first, when you’re making your way to your room after checking in, the hotel can feel like a real maze. However, after just a few hours, you quickly get used to the layout and finding your way around is no problem at all. The hotel is also much bigger than it looks in photos or YouTube videos – it really is huge! The swimming pool is excellent and the water is heated. I checked the temperature several times and it was consistently around 28°C. The food is absolutely not repetitive. I honestly have no idea what people who say that are talking about. Of course, some dishes appear more than once across different meals, but that’s the case in practically every hotel. There is still plenty of variety, and the food itself is delicious. There is also a snack bar by the pool serving drinks and snacks such as pizza, fries, burgers, hot dogs, fruit and cakes. The staff are incredibly friendly without exception. The rooms are cleaned every day, and the housekeeping staff are excellent as well. There is a shop just about a two-minute walk from the hotel where you can buy all the essentials, including food, toiletries and household items, alcohol and cigarettes. We have been to Spain many times, but Drago Park is definitely the best hotel choice we could have made. We had a fantastic stay and would happily come back! Another big plus for us is that there are no noisy kids’ parties late into the evening like you often get at resorts in Egypt or Turkey, and no endless silly songs like “Chocolate”, “Baby Shark” or “Cocodrilo”. There is a foam party one evening a week, but that’s about it. Around the pool they mostly play older, atmospheric Latin music, which creates a really pleasant holiday vibe instead of the constant loud, pounding music you sometimes get at resorts in the countries mentioned above. If I had to find any negatives, the main one would be the number of sunbeds and parasols. Unfortunately, unless you “reserve” a sunbed around sunrise, your chances of getting one later are pretty slim. There is plenty of unused space around the pool, so the hotel could easily add at least 50% more sunbeds and parasols without making the area feel crowded. That would probably be the one improvement I’d most like to see.

WOW. Amazing time had by our family group. We had 2 kids under 5 with us and they have really enjoyed it too. The buffet meals are excellent, wide range of foods. The pool bar is stocked with pizzas, hotdogs, burgers, chips all day too.The drinks are great too. There’s a shop onsite for basic stuff but an actual mini supermarket only a 2 min walk too. The rooms are well kept and clean. The Animation Team really make the holiday special. Thank you to Jesus and Team for a wonderful week! Activities for all ages, a pool foam party one evening which was brilliant. Mini disco, bingo, music in the entertainment bar. A lovely bar area with outdoor seating and beautiful views. A kids swing park, a squash court, a gym and plenty of pool tables, arcade games dotted around. Free shuttle bus daily return to Sotavento beach, and a bus to the zoo down the road for 5 euros. The only slight annoyance for us is that there are no toilets near the pool. But we were lucky that our room was 2 mins away. There are lots of stairs here but it is well laid out and easy to find yourself around. If you’re thinking if going here - You’ll love it! We really did!
