I wanted to make it clear and say a very big thank you to Ruby and Yass. They are a part of the 'animation team' and they were brilliant. The provided our holiday will uncontrollable laughter and all the entertainment any family could wish for.

Review title: "Dont Believe It!"
Travel date: March 2008
We read a couple of bad reviews of this hotel before we left so it was with some trepidation when we disembarked from the transfer bus. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic.

We had a small problem with our room in as much as it smelled slightly of smoke (some chain smokers the week before I think) but they moved us to another room with apologies and smiles.

The food was of a very high standard. Having stayed at several 'all inclusive' resorts I would rate this as the best for selection and quality. The staff were polite and very hard working. The rooms were nice with a separate TV lounge, balcony and even a small kitchen area, and were cleaned spotlessly every day by polite staff.

The main bar upstairs got busy at mealtimes due to the nice fresh coffee they made there, but we never waited any more than five minutes for a drink and there is a bar area downstairs where the queues were less. We did see some impatience by the usual 'I'm going to drink the bar dry because it's free' brigade but most people were really happy with it.

The Isla Bonita hotel has had a life and will need some refurbishment in the future, but everything seemed to work and everything was clean. The pools were nice and there are two rooftop terraces with plunge pools - one of them is nudist so don't take the wrong door!

Upon first impression the hotel was very good. We arrived late and found salads, a variety of fruit and water in our room. The buffet restaurant was always clean and the staff welcoming, especially toward the children.

Unfortunately, expect a lengthy wait at the 'Bar Plaza' during the evening time followed by a very rude bar tender. The evening 'entertainment' is somewhat inappropriate for children, ie knife throwing and walking on broken glass! Be early to book a table for the Italian and BBQ as there are limited places. If you are lucky enough to get a table, don't expect any high chairs or any help with getting one.

The pool was always clean with plenty of sun loungers. Overall a good holiday, although customer relations could do with a little help!

I have been to this hotel twice and both times I feel have been absolutely brilliant! Me and my family haven't found a problem with it. We came back again because we thought it was so great the first time round and we are even considering coming for a third time.

The food is lush as it is a buffet which suits all cultures and is different. The staff are lovely and very friendly and you are welcomed as soon as you arrive. Of course, the 'Bar Plaza' is busy in the evening because it is a busy place and you have to patient! We found the entertainment suitable for children and there is a children's disco every night!

Overall I think Hotel Isla Bonita is great and I really recommend it!
