Hotel Best Siroco

Spent 4 nights here in October with my wife. No major complaints, found it to be a great Hotel. Standing out foremost were the staff. Well turned out, friendly (99%), helpful, and in our opinion hardworking. This goes from Housekeepers (Teresa and others) to Dinning (Samara and others) to many bar staff (the small(ish) English girl), and Reception (who helped us check in earlier than expected). Arrival was bit discombobulated due to not being able to check in, nor being aware of any delay (not Hotels fault); an area is available in the Gym to shower and change. It's basically a Public toilet, with not much privacy; so you can drag your suitcases down there to rummage through - better than nothing! Room was comfortable and clean, should have requested a kettle, but apart from that, a powerful shower and cleaned daily. Beds very very comfortable, balcony practical, small fridge, hair dryer, no iron - almost everything you need in a hotel room! Food was good, lots and lots of selection, though beware Spanish tend to undercook most of their meats etc - not to everyone's taste! Very comprehensive selection, and varied on a daily basis. Made to order stir fry's were very nice, as were the MTO omelettes in the morning; a nice touch... Something for everybody! Pool area is nice, though the Balinese beds could do with a little maintenance/attention/cleaning. Fresh towels are provided daily, and this area does represent a peace of mind regardless, for a little extra cost at 15/20 euros daily, depending on whether you want a bottle of wine/cava sitting in a bucket of ice alongside you! Location was fine, close enough to everything for the upwardly mobile, a hill or steps down to the street, then beach. Beware the 'Supermarket' adjacent to the parking area, on the hill, at the main entrance to the Hotel - everything is over priced for the unsuspecting, and the hospitality is a flat zero! Much better super(mini)markets only yards away on the flat main street... The Staff give this Hotel a heartbeat! Thank-you Hotel Siroco! On a side note: The green monk parakeets; a noisy Argentine invader from the 1970's, they can be heard easily around the Hotel due to their high decibel cawing, these individuals live in communal nests in the palm tree crowns. They are aggressive dive bombers, and work in numbers to browbeat morsels of food from the natives. Culls have been initiated in certain areas against these birds, and others wish to commence them due to property damage, disease, public safety, and agricultural harm (Photos Inc.).
