Hotel Roc Leo: coming to its sell by date
Coming to its sell by date.
This is the third time at the Leo in 3 years, and its starting to show its age, Again the hotel is in an ideal position, close to beach etc and within easy reach for the airport. We decided to stay full board this time, and really enjoyed the meals, breakfast plenty of choice and there were 3 microwaves around the room to use if needed, plenty of choice, both hot and cold, Lunch was a calming experience, as there were never more than 15 tables covered, and there was a good spread of meals on display to choose from, to enjoy at a comfortable pace, Evening meal you need to time your entrance, as it will get rather full and there is no urgently to clean tables for new arrivals, sometimes causing queuing at the door.
Again rooms are basic, but clean, no fridge or kettle etc., air conditioning is hit and miss, but if you are willing you can pay 39 euros to hire a fridge, bathroom clean and functional, now , plenty of hot water, There are 3 views to choose from depending on your taste, one is overlooking the airport itself, good for plane spotters, the second is overlooking the side street, and about 40 metres into all the rooms of the Hotel Helios, who are all watching you as well, ideal if you area people watcher,!! And third the pool view which faces the sea and is a lot quieter, so make sure you pick your desired choice,
General furnishings in the public areas have seen their day, carpets in the hall ways well worn.
The main highlight each day was happy hour from 5 to 6, it’s the most I have seen the bar busy,
Entertainment was from 10:00 to 11:00pm each night, different act each night, nothing much happening for families with Children,
The hotel seem to be relying on past customers and people using it as a base only to visit the area, there are new hotels opening in the area and close to the Leo, so unless it ups the game i. e. and starts to reinvest in the hotel , will start to lose business .
