Morro Jable Holidays from AU$1,532

Just home from a fortnight all inclusive holiday at this hotel. We have stayed in neighbouring hotels so are familiar with the area. Compared to neighbouring hotels, we found the Pajara Beach hotel to be very clean and well run. Gardens and pool area were immaculate. Multiple signs stated that reserving sunbeds was forbidden but it was standard practice with many guests (I won't mention nationality) to peg out their towels before breakfast and expect to keep a lounger by the pool all day. Staff were very pleasant and helpful although sometimes, in the dining room, they were "run off their feet". Reception staff were superb. We stayed in a Royal Suite with a huge southwest facing balcony - a super place for relaxing and entertaining friends. Some of the bedroom furniture is a bit tired but remains comfortable. We judged the selection and quality of food to be better than neighbouring hotels. There was also more outside seating in the restaurant area. Our only disappointment was the quality of some drinks - the all inclusive deal only includes a limited range of cocktails which are machine blended. House Cava was quite drinkable. Beer was fine though only served in 25cl glasses. Recommended and excellent value for money.

Lovely break, fourth time back here

More of a variety in food selection

First the positives - I was a solo traveller and was delighted with my lovely big airy apartment style accommodation on the quieter side of the 3 storey block. It was very clean and was serviced daily with a built in safe (€2 per day charge to use it!!) Food/drink - poor for a 4 star. I like to explore so opted for Half Board. Breakfast was was the best meal of the day with unlimited juice/smoothies/chilled water. Tea and coffee was dreadful. Felt very put out when on the 4th day of my holiday I was challenged by the waiting staff for taking a glass of water with my evening meal - it had been ok to do so the first 3 nights- I was aware that 'drinks' were not included for half board but it never dawned on me that meant water too! There would be a €2 charge for that!! Red wine was €2.50 a glass and served ice cold (not pleasant) The impression given was that they would prefer you to be all inclusive for an added charge of €15 a day, I am. It a big drinker or eater so all these additional charges would have made my holiday very expensive. I chose to buy my own water from a shop at €0.48 a 1.5litre bottle (but was not allowed to take that into the restaurant) The pools and amenity areas were pleasant and there were ample sunloungers available but a €10 charge for a towel (non refundable) glad I took my own. It all felt a bit penny pinching and behind the times. The staff did their best and were courteous but I don't feel able to recommend the hotel to others.

Not bad, rooms could be much cleaner. Dirty cups in the dining area on clean tables - kind of like when you overfill the dishwasher. But other then that it was fine.
