Evenia Olympic Suites

The hotel is nice. Dated rooms but SO CLEAN. The suite is great especially if you’re with a small child, they can sleep in one room and you can relax in the other room/balcony. They also allow drink in your room. The staff were lovely and very helpful. That includes bar staff, cleaner and reception. All super nice. The pool areas are very nice. Clean and modern. There is a pool bar at the biggest pool. The splash pool has slides and lots of fun for the littles. There are also big slides for the older fun seekers. The indoor pool is a let down very dingy looking but soo warm! Can’t review the entertainment as we had a toddler who is fussy about their sleep. The food was a let down. Not much choice often cold, meat was dry. Snack bar serves fast food only but it’s open for a long period so that’s good. Dinner is also late 7pm onwards, so was retry late for us with a little one. September was great for us as there weren’t that many people there but weather was still great. I would recommend it if you don’t care about food/are planning to go out to eat.

We booked our holiday through On the Beach with our booking stating Olympic Resort. I was unsure before arrival which hotel we would be in. We were given a room the Suites Hotel and we were pleasently surprised. The room was split into 2 rooms so offered some privacy for us. The Receptionist on arrival was lovely and we got the keys to our room about 11.30am. The resort is very busy with a variety of nationalities, we saw no bias towards Spanish guests. We never struggled to get a lounger and shade when we went down about 9am, the lounger around the main pool were usually taken but there were plenty of others around the grounds. The food was fine, it was what you expect from an All inclusive buffet. There was a good selection of salads, meats and cheeses. Waffles are served from 4pm each day at the top snack bar and donuts served on a Tuesday and Thursday from 4.30 in the suites bar. Magnum and cornetto ice creams are available at the icecream van by the park hotel. We didn't realise there were 3 areas for entertainment on an evening. The main one been the mini disco followed by a performance in the main area as well as on the 2 terraces. We much preferred the live music on terraces each evening. Overall, we had a nice time. I think people who struggle at this hotel are maybe a little narrow minded and maybe a little ignorant to different cultures.

Family of 5: 2 adults and 3 children aged 11, 5 & 3. Duration: 1 week. Hotel Olympic Suites. Transfer from/to Girona Airport - 2 hours it took on the way to the hotel. We were the last drop off on the coach. On return home we were the last to be collected so it took about 30 minutes! Hotel Room - Could do with updating however it was immaculately clean. Fresh towels and bedding every day. We had two singles pushed together to form a double then a double/bunk set up in the lounge section for our 3 children. Very cosy but served the purpose. Our room overlooked the pool and we didn’t have an issue with noise from outside or in the corridor, very quiet in fact. It’s often very difficult for a family of 5 to all be in the same room without splitting up over 2 rooms so we were very lucky this hotel accommodated us. Animation Team - The team did not stop from start to finish, they were excellent. So friendly to the children after the shows and when they saw them in passing throughout the day. The shows were the best we have seen as far as hotel shows go - really well planned and organised. Our children loved them. My only minor gripe would be - everything is in Spanish, even the songs. No variety of languages so suit those who travelled from overseas. The Bar (Suites Part) - there may be little queues here and there but nothing too concerning. My only concern with this would be it seemed that only British people queued. Everyone else seemed to go straight to the front and that was that. Some parents actively encouraged their children to push in, maybe the locals looked after themselves - who knows. Sun-beds / Sun loungers - Whatever you do, do not ruin your lay ins by getting or reserving loungers. There are plenty and we travelled from the UK during school summer holiday. There was always a space and there was stacks and stacks of loungers for you to use. We didn’t get to the pool until gone 10am most mornings and had a space with ease! The hotel do monitor towels and if they’ve not been occupied for 90 minutes they’ll take the towels off. All inclusive - we upgraded to the gold package which was an extra 12EUR per adult per day. Well worth it if you ask me.. all the branded drinks and spirits and fresh cocktails (rather than the pre-made machine ones on silver). We had our moneys worth. You don’t pay for the children to upgrade obviously, just adults. The food we found good, something for everyone and it was a good quality. Without repeating myself though the queues were only full of British people, others just pushed in. A fully grown man literally took a tong out of my daughters hand so that he could use it to have the last chicken?! Mind. Blown. The food at the snack bar was average - chips, burgers, nuggets, calamari, salad and rolls. Breakfast was by far our favourite meal. Staff - Animation team were spectacular so special mention to them. The staff behind the bar spoke very limited English and often laughed when we asked for somet
