I didn't stay overnight here but across the street at the sister hotel Bonanza Park. The reason for this review is because I was using the facilities extensively and more particularly the Scuba Diving station which is attached to the hotel. Needless to say the facilities are spotless and the personnel professional and friendly. The swimming pool is fairly large... more

Just returned from a short break booked via Sovereign.Good taxi trf from airport.Excellent welcome via reception staff,glass of cava in picture window overlooking pool & sea,slightly annoying that they insist on not allowing you to carry your own luggage up to room straight away when you are perfectly able to do so. Soveriegn concierge,they do not call them reps,did not... more

For the last 6 years we have always chosen our holiday where there is a Riu hotel.After staying in ther Algarve Palace in April we were looking forward to having the same standards normally akin to the Riu group. Sadly those standards are not here. Before booking we read reviews on this site and thought "How could anyone complain at... more

We stayed here for short break and were impressed by the hotel. The location is Ok if you are mobile, but should you have any difficulties with hill, then you should stay elsewhere as there is little else located by the hotel. The rooms were clean and of an adequate size and our's had a good view. The pool area... more

Returned from the Bonanza Playa today and had to say how much of a great time we had. We booked last minute and wanted an upmarket resort, 4/5* hotel and a relaxing holiday. Our expectations were exceeded. The resort overall is very quiet, so wouldn't suit everyone. We spent most of our evenings at the pool bar, which again was... more

We had a good deal via the website booking.com - paid nearly £800 for two adults half board for a week. Although it is a fairly good standard 4 star hotel I can see that Thomson a La Carte and Sovreign are selling it - I would not consider it to be particularly exclusive hotel ??why it qualifies for Thomson... more

It is three years since we last visited this hotel and we are pleased to say nothing has changed. Most of the same lovely staff were still there and both old and new were ALL wonderful. The only gripe is still the lack of entertainment. One night they had flamenco and the bar was full so the market must be... more

I stayed for four days on a half board basis in the off season in April. The hotel was excellent and I could not say enough about how good the buffet breakfast and evening meals were. The buffet breakfast had everything from full Irish fry up tohealth foods-a choice of about 100 items altogether. The evening meal was equally good... more

The Food at this HOTEL is as you would expect from a RIU Palace ( SUPERB). There are a few thing that tell you this is not a RIU Palace, The smoking in the hotel is everywhere, The PIANO BAR, Seating at the bar, The ENTERTAINMENT Lounge inside and out, This hotel seems geared up for the smoker the non-smokers... more
