Me and my girlfriend arrived at esmeralda on April 28th . 1st of all the room we received 407 was not very nice (we was disappointed as our reservation said request sea front room if available) there was one available but it cost us 50 euros for the 7 nights we was staying there. The room was basic but loved... More

We arrived at Hotel Esmerelda expecting a sea view balcony that we paid extra for, we were told in very broken English the room wasn't ready, we'd have to spend night in a different room (room 208 - terrible!). We opened the shutter and our window was on level with the back street, so people were passing constantly under our... More

What a dive. The first room we were given stank. The bathroom switch was hanging off showing live wires. There was no view other than a back street with bins and balconies. 50 euros more bought us a larger room with a lovely sea view and nothing else. The bathroom drains stank. We had gone half board and the food... More

Basic hotel but very clean, staff where helpful. Stayed in Feb 2013 for a week and for the price I paid it was worth it bed, breakfast and an evening meal even though it was basic food it was changed everyday and was fresh. Would stay again and would recommend to anyone on a budget.

very...very basic...very dated and needs an over-haul. Food ok but not corden blau.... They will not give you a remote or a heater control if you do not pay up front...they speak very little english so its pointless trying to explain anything. We paid over the odds for a very tatty room with no working shutter ...would go up but... More

This hotel is in need of modernisation. The 'art' work is tired and dated. Restaurant dark, walls painted in black. Room 607 which we stayed in had a hideous piece of art work on one wall, another painted black. (No balcony for this room either) Chunks of wall had fallen off and not repaired. The wardrobe doors weren't working properly.... More

We booked this hotel for its location.We knew it was "unusual".However its unusual decor now needs freshening.The week we were here was very cold and the heating in the rooms was very poor.There was heavy rain, hail,thunder and lightening and even a twister at sea,and our room 701 had puddles.The food is not good, it is not bad either.It is...

Sometimes I think people only leave reviews when they have something bad to say. I try to leave balanced reviews both good and bad. We booked this hotel last minute and we paid £12.50 per day each for Full Board, we weren't expecting too much for that price but we were pleasantly surprised. I am amazed reading the reviews on...
