Aria Claros Beach & Spa Resort

Supposed to be 5 Star, but it is far from it! The food is a buffet for breakfast and dinner. There really was a very limited choice at breakfast - fine if you want salad for both meals. The service in the bar was extremely poor and very expensive. A small beer was €7 and the house wine could be used for cooking but nothing else. Also expensive. A lot of the rooms had very dim lights - difficult for the elderly to see. Walking back to the rooms the public lighting was not working and therefore very dangerous. Would not recommend,

The hotel is gorgeous for the price you pay but the food is not near at all good quality. We had booked for a week with the resort but on our last night we all had stomach bugs and went to a near by clinic, we we're also not alone having stomach bugs since the people at the clinic also stayed at the resort. Beware of the food! Also this resort is very much a family resort and it is not quiet at all no matter where you are (kids screaming and crying) and there we're so many Russians arguing while there staying which felt very uncomfortable.

Having previously stayed at this hotel in 2019, I had high expectations for our return visit. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by disappointment and neglect. The staff were consistently rude and unhelpful, particularly towards foreign guests, creating a hostile environment. Basic amenities such as air conditioning were lacking in the main lobby, and the dining options were inadequate, with food either overcooked or underdone. Our stay in the villa was equally disappointing. The room had several issues: broken handles, a malfunctioning TV, sagging mattresses, an ant infestation, broken lights, no WiFi, and unreliable air conditioning. Despite calling for assistance 15 times in one day, our requests were ignored, leaving us feeling as if our basic needs were being dismissed. Given our experience, I would strongly advise against this hotel for foreign tourists. The lack of respect and poor service, especially considering the high cost of over £700 per night, make it a place I cannot recommend.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL – FILTHY, UNSAFE, AND A COMPLETE DISASTER! I recently booked a holiday through Thomas Cook, expecting a five-star experience. What I received was beyond shocking – this place is an absolute disgrace, and I urge everyone to stay far away from this so-called "luxury" hotel. 1. Filthy Rooms and Lack of Housekeeping From the moment we arrived, it was clear the hotel had no standards of cleanliness. Although the room appeared clean initially, it was NEVER cleaned throughout our entire stay. The bed sheets were not changed even once, and the floors, balcony, and couch were filthy. We were essentially left to live in squalor for the duration of our holiday. 2. No Towels and Missing Amenities To make matters worse, there were no bath towels in our room upon arrival. How can a five-star hotel fail to provide basic amenities? We asked for mugs to use in the room – something that should be provided without question – and yet, they never arrived. The service here is not just bad; it's non-existent. 3. Bed Bugs and Health Risks We were horrified to discover that our room was infested with bed bugs. My entire family was bitten, causing discomfort and distress throughout our stay. I provided photographic evidence of the bites and the state of the room to the hotel and Thomas Cook via WhatsApp, but NOTHING was done. How is this level of neglect even possible in a hotel that claims to be five stars? Absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable. 4. Contaminated Swimming Pool – A Health Hazard An adult defecated in the children’s pool, and unbelievably, the hotel did nothing about it. The pool wasn’t cleaned, nor were guests informed of the contamination. We watched in horror as children continued to swim in the pool, completely unaware of the serious health risk. This is gross negligence at its worst. 5. Food Poisoning – My Whole Family Got Sick If that wasn’t enough, my entire family got food poisoning after eating exclusively at the hotel. We suffered from severe diarrhea and vomiting during our stay, which was made worse by the fact that the hotel’s toilets were filthy and never cleaned. This is an extreme health hazard – the lack of cleanliness undoubtedly contributed to the spread of illness. It was a nightmare! 6. No WiFi and Terrible Connectivity Don’t expect to stay connected while you’re here! The WiFi in the rooms is absolutely useless. The signal was so weak that we were left without internet access for the entire stay. How can a hotel in 2024 not provide basic WiFi access? This was a huge inconvenience and yet another failure on the part of this dreadful hotel. 7. Rude and Discriminatory Service The buggy service was abysmal. I waited 20 minutes for a buggy, only to watch two families who arrived after me get prioritized by the driver. Despite being first in line, I was told to wait until they were dropped off. This type of discriminatory treatment is inexcusable, and it reflects the hotel’s complete lack of care for its guests. 8. Staff Were Incompetent and Rude Most of the hotel staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful. On top of that, there was a major language barrier, as very few staff members could speak or understand English. This made it nearly impossible to communicate or resolve any of the numerous issues we encountered. The hotel’s disregard for customer service was appalling. 9. Emotional Distress – An Experience Ruined I was so overwhelmed by the poor conditions and lack of care that I ended up crying in front of the hotel manager. Despite providing photographic and video evidence of the disgusting state of the hotel, they did NOTHING to fix the situation. I expected a relaxing holiday but was left dealing with stress, illness, and complete frustration. This place ruined our trip. Final Warning This hotel is falsely advertised as five stars when it doesn’t even meet the basic standards of hygiene, service, or safety. I have reported it to the appropriate health authorities and will be pursuing a refund through Thomas Cook. This was not a holiday – it was a nightmare.

one of the most disastrous hotels I've ever stayed at, I'll explain the reasons below: I had a reservation for 7 days at a deluxe double room with a sea view for 2 adults and 2 children, when we got there we were told that there were no rooms available except in the cottages, where after I saw them, I refused let's stay there because it looks like after the war in Ukraine. After long negotiations in gymnastic language (no one at the reception speaks English except at a very poor level), in exchange for 570 euros more for 7 days, we would receive a two-room suite that we had to take in the central building, otherwise we would have slept in the car. The apartment is in a deplorable state, in the first room the air conditioning did not work, the water was flowing continuously and the beds were destroyed. Strong points of the hotel: the aqua park and the location. Weak points: cleanliness, internet signal, industrial type food, but the most important is the lack of air conditioning even in the dining room or reception. Avoid this hotel at all costs, it is a big scam.
