Iberostar Selection Albufera Park

This was our second stay at this property. Good food and atmosphere all around. Stunning beach. Our only issue was that the kids club caters to mostly very small children. There is no teen or arcade room to entertain slightly older kids which could easily be added in a separate room. Because of this our kids refused to go to the club. Finally the gym needs some serious improvements. There are only three mats in total and it’s missing all the Pilates / yoga equipment (no light dumbbells, no yoga block, very few mats). Overall we had a very good stay but it will be challenging to return with an almost 10 years old without proper teen room.

We arrived at 2.30am at the hotel room was lovely apart from a leak in the bathroom,we were given towels and a bucket until the morning,we were then told if will be fixed. Next morning we let reception know they said they will get somebody up to fix leak. Later that day the leak was still happening and coming down faster now I rang reception again to ask for assistance 1hr later somebody actually came up to look at it again! This went on for 4days before it was actually fixed and me speaking to the manager,this had really spoilt the holiday by this point. So not the best experience!!

We stayed at Albufera park with our 3 year old and 3 month old for 5 nights and would highly recommend the hotel. The splash park, daytime and evening entertainment were a massive hit with our 3year old. The onsite inclusive ice cream parlour is an excellent perk. The rooms are beautifully decorated, modern and clean. Beds are very comfortable and large enough for extra little visitors. The kids trundle beds are fun and super convenient. Food exceeded our expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at not only how good the selection of dishes were at the buffet but how good the quality of the food was. We did initially have some trouble booking the à la carte restaurants due to lack of availability via the app but the lovely Christina with guest services helped us secure bookings in both the Greek and Mexican restaurants which really made our trip. The food at the Mexican was excellent. All staff were extremely kind and friendly. We will certainly return.

Had a nice week here. Nice hotel on the beach. Food generally good in buffet with decent variety. Drinks and service good. Not too many complaints overall but just a few points for improvement. There are other spanish, greek and mexican restaurants onsite but they are hard to get a reservation and dont really cater well for kids. Biggest issue by far is the freezing pools. Pool temp may be OK for blazing hot summers but theyre too cold for April and need to be heated. Rooms are quite small but obviously they cant change that. Last thing would be the price. Though generally +ve, still very expensive for what is on offer. Due to that do not plan on returning

Excellent week as a family of four. There is plenty for the children to do and loads of pools for guests to spread across. The children's pool can feel busy but you can choose alternatives. Food was brilliant with huge choice. Would happily go back or try one of their other hotels. We stayed in a premium family room which was spacious.
