Weve had a brilliant time at Alba Beach - the location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach, and with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We loved the entertainment especially aqua gym and the group of singers for time travel and The Greatest Showman were of amazing standard. We had 2 rooms for a family of 5 and both were really clean and comfortable. The restaurant and bar staff were very friendly and efficient, and we enjoyed the variety of food. And the meal times are really long so you have plenty of flexibility of when to eat. The pool and outside space were great too ice creams and snacks are available from the outdoor bar, and a good choice of cocktails. The only downside was that people left towels on the sunbeds to reserve them first thing in the morning and then disappeared all day signs say theyll be removed after 15 minutes but that didnt happen, meaning there were always more than 50 of the beds with no-one on them but none spare for anyone who arrived throughout the day.

Las comidas poco variadas y repetitivas, si llegas 10 o 15 minutos antes del cierre del restaurante ya no hay nada de comer y la animación por la noche muy escasa en cuanto a la duración
