Hotel El Duque

We, a family of 3, stayed at Hotel El Duque for 7 nights all inclusive in a superior one bedroom apartment. We arrived at 1ish and were able to check in from 3pm. We were given our AI wristbands so were able to get lunch and drinks while we waited for our room to be ready. We were in A004, which was a ground floor apartment in block A which overlooked the smaller pool. The apartment was a really good size, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and separate bedroom. The bedroom had a L-shaped sofa bed which is okay for kids, but I’m not sure how comfy an adult would find it. The apartment also had a massive balcony which you could access from the bedroom and living room. Balcony had two sunbeds, a parasol, a table and 4 chairs. The hotel itself was always really clean, two decent sized pools. We only used the smaller pool which was heated. There are also cabana beds available round the small pool which were really great. The pools opened at 10am (closed at 6pm), with people putting towels out from about 8am. We never did and were always able to get three sunbeds or a cabana bed. AI includes standard drinks, beer, wine, local spirits and some cocktails. If you are ordering off the non-AI menu make sure they are not charged for all items. A couple of times we were almost charged for our drinks when buying a €2 ice cream. Even though we were AI we only ate in the hotel on a couple of evenings. Food is standard AI but always something to eat. Breakfast was really good and lots of choice. Although when I had toast I could never find any jam. If we returned we would only go B&B. Hotel is set behind a shopping centre but wasn’t noisy. You need a keycard to access the hotel so very safe. It’s about 10mins to the beach and a wide range of restaurants and bars. Bit of and incline on the way back up but not too bad. There are taxis near the beach if needed and also a taxi rank and bus stop outside the hotel if needed. Overall we all had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend Hotel El Duque

We truly enjoyed our stay here - our only issue was it wasn’t long enough! We stayed in A block on self catering basis, the rooms were spotless and spacious. The staff work tirelessly to accommodate customers. The pools were lovely with plenty of sunbeds. The location was perfect, close to shops and bars and a 10 minute walk yo the beach. Highly recommend Hotel el Duque!

Very clean, staff are really friendly. Spacious rooms, nice pool area. Entertainment is ok on the evening. Breakfast and lunch were good, we were not so keen on the evening meals so we ate out a few nights. Overall a really nice hotel and I would definitely return.
