Adequate for a week away with family. Door keys stopped working every day and some parts are in need of refurbishment but mostly, it is OK. Breakfast time is a zoo and the pool areas are congested but nothing got in the way of our holiday.

We recently came back from a week-long all inclusive break at the Dolmen Hotel. This hotel is fantastic in many different ways - food was good (we tried both the buffet restaurant and the Cafe Delos), service was helpful, hotel rooms were a good size, pools were great, and location was close to a bus station and to the beach. However, having got so many difficult things right, I would say that the Dolmen Hotel should pay attention to the little things that make a difference. This is probably more around house-keeping and maintenance - including things like there not being bathrobes and slippers waiting in our suite when we arrived (we had to request them), the toilet cistern continually filling, issues with the doors, etc. When we raised these with the hotel, they were all dealt with really quickly, so I'm not at all mentioning this to deter anyone - this is a great hotel!! But I wanted to bring the hotel's attention to this, because these are easy things to proactively deal with, to help guests feel like things are running smoothly and easily, without issues. Overall, we were impressed, and are hoping to go back next year! I highly recommend this hotel. Also, we had a family emergency whilst there and had some really great support from most of the staff (except for one Guest Relations Manager who was really not helpful at all). But a special thank you to Darren and Alex/John who really assisted us, as well as a few others (sorry, we didn't get their names!).

This is a beautiful hotel with excellent staff and delicious food. It was very busy when we stayed but staff always friendly and provide great service. Never a problem finding sunbeds or getting served, We were all inclusive and didn’t notice any difference in being served. There is only one main self service restaurant which was always busy and some guests would barge past, not the hotel’s fault. Staff were brilliant at clearing away and re stocking food. No outside area and lots of families so could get noisy, but always possible to find a table. Cafe Delos was quieter and again served excellent food.

we only stayed one night, the view was horrible, but somebody has to stay in this room I guess, luckly only 1 night for us, the hotel overall is very nice, but the soundproofing from the corridor is not good, lots of noisy kids and loud adults constantantly up and down which annoyed us when we were trying to sleep, we requested a double bed but got 2 singles put together, this is most annoying and uncomfortable, we enjoyed a very good breakfast and most of the staff were very pleasant

The Dolmen was great, plenty of pools and activities. The location was central for exploring the island especially with the bus depot behind the hotel. Lots of little cafes surrounding including supermarkets, coin operated laundry, souvenir shops etc. Great spot to holiday with family.
