Esmeralda Cotillo Homes by LIVVO

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location and comfortable rooms. The complex and rooms were perfect for our week long stay. Very comfortable for us with separate bedroom and living space, kitchen well furnished for us to cook for ourselves. Pool was lovely, big enough. Gym space and equipment good for a hotel gym. Filtered water machine, games room, laundry room. Location was excellent in the little village, walking distance to cafes and restaurants, supermarkets, and to the beaches too. Plenty of off street parking in the area. There is construction taking place in the area but it really wasn’t that noisy and didn’t bother us. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others."

"We just got back from a two week family holiday 1-14 Aug 2026. Two adults and two children 9 & 11. We stayed in the Adventure Park area but also had access to all other areas. We had a great time. Lots of activities during the day to keep the kids entertained with multiple pools, pool side entertainment and kids clubs etc…We all really enjoyed the evening shows and entertainment. Animation Team were exemplary. Food was really good at all times of the day. The main restaurant did get a little over crowded on some evenings - that is the only sight flaw I can highlight. Rooms were spacious and well maintained by the cleaning staff. 15 minute walk to the marina and nearby beach which was stunning. I would definitely recommend this hotel. We didn’t feel the need to upgrade to the gold package."

"A really lovely hotel that we are looking at booking again. Came with my friend and my two children for 7 nights, all inclusive. Room was lovely and spacious with a huge bed for my friend and I and the sofa bed was big for the girls. Nice and clean and kitchen was good. Few ants in the bath most days but we washed them away. Had a lovely room away from the main pool and entertainment and it was nice and quiet. Kids pool was where we spent most our pool days as it was quieter than the bigger one! And oddly not really any screaming kids! Felt like our own private pool at times Very very few early morning sun lounger hoggers which was refreshing. We popped towels down when we went for breakfast at 9ish and there were still a few free. Food is ok. Breakfast great, lunches and dinners just a bit hit and miss. Sometimes lots to eat and other times not a huge amount that was nice. Different themes each evening and there was always something being freshly cooked which my friend and I liked."
