Abora Buenaventura by Lopesan Hotels

We really enjoyed our stay here for our first family holiday. The hotel was spotless and the staff couldn't have been more friendly/helpful. The food was good with lots of variety, I would say however that your child may get bored of pizza, Bolognese and chips (in the main restaurant)by the end of the week if they are picky. But we all had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to book again

We've had a fantastic stay here at Abora Buenaventura. Our room has been cleaned daily to a high standard, with the housekeeping staff being incredibly respectful and helpful. Every staff member we have come across has been polite, welcoming and friendly and always respectful, my children have absolutely adored interacting with everyone - especially the wonderful hospitality team in the restaurant! The food in offer has been delicious and a good range for all inclusive, as well as the options in the snack bar! We've ventured out of the hotel a few times using both the excellent free bus to the beach and public transport- both easily accessible and running regularly. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family due to it's high standards, location and the wonderful Abora Buenaventura team! Thank you for an excellent stay ✨ Matilda Harrison

Would highly recommend going for the AI+ the difference in drink quality was very noticeable. Although if you don't get AI+ and don't taste the higher quality drinks, you may not notice so much. Beds are quite uncomfortable, it was a pleasure to get back to my own bed. Air con didn't work - perhaps it only gets turned on at certain times of the year. The room itself was fantastic. Very nicely decorated and very spacious. Food was OK, not what I'd call quality, but it was edible. Staff were generally great, some are clearly more experienced than others. Everyone I came across was trying their best though. A quick word to the bar staff that stronger doesn't always mean better in terms of mixers and cocktails. Entertainment during the day was great. Evening entertainment was hit and miss. For example, the band were great. Would I return to this hotel? Yes, if I was staying in the same area. But I can't see us returning to GC any time soon.

An enjoyable stay at the end of May. The friendly staff worked tirelessly - a special mention for Alexander and the rest of the animation team 👏. A wide variety of well presented food at mealtimes. Nice, well maintained, pool areas and grounds. Convenient location for the visiting market and other amenities and transport links to get out and about. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Our stay was disappointing in many respects! On arrival, we faced an unreasonably long check-in process, and with only one luggage trolley in the entire hotel, no assistance was offered with our suitcases, even after we asked for help, despite having young children and multiple bags. The room air conditioning made a constant water like noise throughout the night, disturbing sleep. Shower pressure was extremely weak in the yellow accommodation block. There was no light on the balcony, and no water bottles provided in the room. Iron rental was €5 (non-refundable), with no ironing board available. Facilities were lacking: the massage chair was inoperable, many arcade games were constantly needing resetting, the kids' club consisted of a single hut with disengaged staff, and the huge hotel had just one small playground. The pools were restrictive—no balls or floats allowed. Dining was another letdown for us vegetarias. Food was warm at best, vegetarian options were minimal, and labelling was unclear with vegetarian dishes often mixed in with meat. The snack bar had a wide variety of meat burgers and sandwiches but not a single vegetarian option. Only one drink station in the main restaurant caused long queues at each meal time, especially frustrating with young kids. Pool towels came at a cost, with a €1 fee just to change them. The beach is a 10 to 15 minute walk away or there is an option to use the free shuttle bus which runs frequently each day. It's a lovely sandy beach with reasonably clear water. Sun lounge hire was about €7 for the day. The only praise I have is for the cleaning, serving and entertainment staff. Sadly and despite the fantastic entertainment staff on site it was evident that they were working with a low or non existing budget! Overall, the hospitality was poor and not family-friendly versus alternatives. I would not recommend for families or those seeking a relaxing, well-serviced all inclusive holiday.
