From when we booked I was a bit weary as the price I paid was very cheap! I was aware that the balmoral was a chain of hotels and you could be in either of 3 hotels: balmoral, mastines and Chihuahuas but all being sol hotels I thought would try it! I was surprised when I got there as the hotel was a bit dated and need of re touching in places, but it didn’t make my stay any worse. Bless the staff they did try and the entertainment was excellent the effort they went to in the shows etc was very good, as for the food a bit repetitive but what do you expect from all inclusive plenty of variety and it was hot! Rooms were ok but once again dated and a bit on the small side but you are not in your room all the time are you! Overall a nice stay but probably would try somewhere more lively as was just me and my boyfriend
My rating for this hotel: Value: 3/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Rooms: 3/5 Location: 3/5
