O7 Alea, El Arenal

Request a pool-view room, preferably on a higher floor, for quieter surroundings.

Request an upper-floor room—top floors such as 404 or 420 are quieter and offer better forest views; third-floor air conditioning may be adjustable.

Plan for no in-room kettle or fridge; bring any essentials needed for hot drinks or chilled water.

Consider another room instead of 223; its bathroom door is awkward, despite having an unusually large shower.

Use the nearby bus stop or bus station for airport connections.

Use the pool beds for lying down only, as they are uncomfortable for sitting upright.

Ask for extra pillows if needed; staff can provide them.

Ask for a room with new air conditioning.

Use the pool between 11am and 7pm.

Tip the staff to show appreciation for their service.

Use the pool beds for lounging rather than sitting upright.

Choose room 002 for a first-floor pool view.

Do not accept room 110.

Avoid room 023 because repetitive machine beeping may disturb sleep.

Avoid ground-floor rooms left of reception because of severe noise and vibrations, plus entertainment noise from nearby hotels.

Request a room at the back for a quieter stay.

Choose a room near reception for convenient access to the kitchen, elevator, and exit.

Find a pharmacy open until 10pm, a Mercadona supermarket, and a children’s playground nearby.
