Booked 6 nights for October half-term 2009 - paid a very cheap price for room-only basis. The room was extremely basic and the beds were hard; it was clean-ish and the balcony was good to have. The bed was made each day (same sheets) and a fresh bath towel provided. I would hate to stay there in the very hot... more

My wife and I Stayed in the El Tiburon (the shark) again this year. Generally the hotel hasn't changed much, except this year the hotel was room only. Although we don't bother too much about breakfast, not being able to wander downstairs for a cup of coffee and a glass of fruit juice did make a big difference. There are... more

This is our second visit to the El Tiburon and I agree with the other recent posts that it is definitely going down hill.

I stayed with my sister a week in this hotel. It was very clean and the location was excellent. Near to the beach and on a quiet place.

We also sampled meals later in the day and found them the same, there are... more

I have stayed in El Tiburon many times in the past. The rooms are still very clean and maid service every day but now breakfast in not included and I believe there has been a management change - staff no longer interested in anything apart from smoking outside reception. It no longer represents good value for money. Not sure why... more
