KN Hotel Matas Blancas

Overall an ok experience for what we paid. If you want somewhere to go and just chill by the pool and unwind then it's ideal. We went in October and it was extremely quiet so we didn't have to fight for sun beds. The pool area was probably the best part of the hotel. The all inclusive food was average and a little hit and miss, in my experience this is normal for buffet food. The rooms were spacious but a little lacking. They could do with some maintenance- for example the peeling paint on the headboard where heads tend to rest. They could also supply more than one flat pillow per guest and some nice touches like tea/coffee for the room and complimentary toiletries. The only thing supplied was a generic soap for hair and body but appeared to be the same as the hand wash. The towels in the rooms and the pool towels have seen better days, they were as thin as dish cloths with as many holes better donated to an animal shelter. The actual shower was very nice, powerful with plenty of hot water. On the plus side, we found 3 chirpy members of staff, the receptionist (very helpful) one of the bar tenders and the entertainment guy. Sadly the rest clearly dislike either their job or tourists, or both!

Don't listen to the bad reviews, we had a wonderful week at Kn Matas blancas. The staff were wonderful, the hotel is super clean, and the food was faultless. It's incredibly peaceful all over the hotel. The pool was nice and quiet, the music not very loud at all, easy to forget it's there. The location is fine. You can walk down to the front in 20 mins, there's a small beach there and some shops and other hotels and if you walk another 15 or so minutes up the hill you will get to a square with lots of restaurants and a little shopping mall and that's where the big beach is, which also has a couple of restaurants on it. Id recommend them all. Great food and staff. Particularly a restaurant called Arena in the square. The hotel itself has everything you need, plenty of space around the pool and we never found ourselves searching for loungers there, no matter what time we went to the pool. Again the staff were great, we had loads of fun with them, especially when ordering cocktails and all the cooks were very good and we were blown away by some of the dishes. I highly recommend this hotel to couples and solos and we've already decided to return in the near future.

I honestly find the negative reviews slightly over the top,please take with a pinch of salt. I came here on my 1st solo trip as a female I felt very safe. The staff and service was 10/10 Great facilities Beach 5 mins away in taxi only 4 euros or 30 min walk. I went half board for food, I recommended all inclusive for the days you feel lazy.I found the food very reasonable,meats were cooked to perfection There are some food options near by say 10 min walk. Please note you only can only use spa once free of charge,then you pay after that. Worth it though just think it should be made clear. The ONLY negative comment I have is if the cleaners could do more of a deep clean in the rooms to prevent any outburst of ants. Please don't be alarmed by my ants statement. But worth mentioning. I would recommend great trip for a great price:)

I booked this hotel as a solo traveller (35). I read all the reviews before going and was dreading it but I can't fault the hotel really. It really isn't a 4* hotel more of a 3* and that's really down to the food. The room was spotless basic clean every day and a full clean when asked for. As said food is a bit of a let down, I had to use the microwave every morning for my beans on toast. Snack bar had the same things every day, burgers, hot dogs and chips. Only ever one member of staff on the bars which wasn't great as there was quite a few ques most of the time. You do need 1 euro for a plastic cup for in the day. Entertainment on a evening well was sometimes questionable but I met a few people and we made our own entertainment. Pool was cleaned every night at 6pm and checked regularly through our the day. Area wise don't be put off with what people are saying, I had a lovely walk into town just 20 mins max. There was a few good bars and restaurants, beach was lovely with a bar right on the beach. I had a day out to the zoo I will say don't bother pre-booking tickets I still had to qué and then it was a bit of a mess trying to prove I'd already paid. Coach to the zoo was 2.50 euro each way but I got a taxi back for just 13 euro as they do two transfers there but only 1 back which isn't till 4:30pm. You don't need all day for the zoo only a few hrs. Did a stint on the nudist terrace which is a sun trap. Honestly take a chance on this hotel it really wasn't a bad hotel at all. Very clean and generally good value for money.

Lovely hotel. Very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food and drink on offer is basic but all you need. There is a good selection at all meal times giving you the essentials. It's about a 30-45 min walk to the beach depending on which way you go but taxis are easy to get. Always plenty of sun loungers around the pool so no need to get out early with your towels. All in all an excellent stay and would come again.
