First impressions: hotel spotlessly clean everywhere, lovely pool area, room nice enough but not enough space to put things, especially wardrobe space. We were all-inclusive, as we always drink a fair amount. My tipple of choice is red wine though, and the wine included here was not good. There is a half decent Rioja at the bar at the entrance to the hotel, but you have to pay €2.50 for this. Myself and my husband were really struggling to find drinks we enjoyed, and looked forward to returning home for the decent stuff! BUT! I think this is the same throughout Spain, I’m not a fan of Spanish wine, and they don’t seem to import any. Food: the breakfast buffet was pretty decent. Something for everyone I would think. Lunch and dinner varied day to day; some days they had lots of great choices, then some days it was just fish/seafood and no nice meat option. I love my pasta, so had this quite a lot, but it was often cold, whereas most other foods seemed to stay hot. Pizza was nice, also chicken stroganoff and beef stew. The pool bar offered chips or potato wedges, burgers/hotdogs/battered fish bites/chicken nuggets/toasties etc, all help yourself during the afternoon. Note: the lake next to the hotel obviously attracts mosquitoes and we got bitten to death on the first couple of nights! Strangely it wasn’t too bad after that. The highlight of our stay at Boccaccio was without doubt the INCREDIBLE entertainment team, Davide, Gian Luca and Mica. All of them are an absolute credit to the hotel. Davide’s energy and funny faces during the pool dancing sessions had everyone in stitches, I’ve never before joined in with anything like this on holiday, but his enthusiasm was so infectious! He and Mica make a great double act doing this also! For anyone who has kids, Mica looks after them so well and does lots of activities with them, and they all love her. Gian Luca was great at encouraging people to participate (especially in the karaoke, which I have also never done before but actually did here!). The evening entertainment was generally good, some really great singers worth sticking around for. In summary: A lovely hotel, with fantastic hard working staff. Could be improved with better drinks!
