We stayed at Alua Gran Camp de Mar for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon, and overall we had a really lovely experience. We had a double room with sea view including breakfast, and after arriving in the evening we were welcomed by Ramiro at reception, who immediately gave us a great first impression of the hotel. Friendly, energetic, and genuinely helpful. We upgraded to all inclusive after arrival and definitely did not regret it. He made sure we could still grab dinner before the restaurant closed and helped us settle in smoothly.
The food overall was good with lots of variety, especially the fresh carving stations with pork, chicken, and fish, which were delicious and flavorful. Breakfast was also very enjoyable with freshly made pancakes, eggs, and plenty of options. Desserts were sometimes a bit repetitive, but the chocolate fountains and fresh fruit were great additions. The ice cream was decent too. It is clearly a very popular hotel, so arriving early for dinner is a good idea since queues can form later in the evening.
One small thing worth mentioning is that some tapas, cheeses, cold cuts, and especially fruit occasionally seemed to sit out a bit too long and could probably be refreshed more frequently during busy hours.
The drinks were overall very good, although the taste and strength depended slightly on the bartender. The hotel also has several bar areas, including a quieter adults-only rooftop section with jacuzzis, which was a really nice touch.
Our room was comfortable and clean, and daily housekeeping felt luxurious. The only slight disappointment was that some trees blocked part of our sea view, but luckily we stayed in one of the outer buildings away from the main pool and entertainment area, which made the stay much quieter.
One thing this hotel genuinely does very well is service. Every employee we passed smiled, greeted us, and clearly worked hard to create a welcoming atmosphere.
The facilities were also great: spa, gym, indoor pool, jacuzzi, and plenty of daily activities including yoga, bingo, darts, table tennis, disco nights, and even a large arcade room.
The location is beautiful and peaceful, with the beach literally 30 seconds from the hotel. Camp de Mar felt much quieter and more relaxing than other tourist areas, especially in early May.
There were only two things that slightly affected the experience for us. First, there are quite a lot of birds around the outdoor areas, which means bird droppings occasionally end up in the pool and outdoor seating. Second, we were woken up at 7 AM on two mornings by loud leaf blowers in the lounge area below our room. We completely appreciate the hotel’s high cleaning standards and hardworking staff, but starting the louder outdoor cleaning slightly later would make the mornings much more relaxing for guests.
Overall, we had a wonderful honeymoon stay here. The hotel offers beautiful surroundings, hardworking staff, good food, plenty of activities, and a calm atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind.
