TripAdvisor Review
Awful, don’t book here, please!

In our opinion, this is one of the worst resorts we’ve ever stayed at.

Expect to be filled with dread when you arrive. The place looks dated. You’ll walk around and regret your choice of destination.

Day two, things went missing from our room. We know that, as a minimum, two bottles of perfume (worth over £200) had gone, but we couldn’t be sure if other things were missing too. We asked the hotel manager to investigate; as a minimum asking staff, who had been in our room, if they had perhaps moved or accidentally removed our things. We didn’t accuse anyone, but we were met with extreme hostility from the manager. Reading reviews now, I can see why - there are loads of suggestions of theft.

Our cabin had a lose nail sticking out from the bathroom door. It was low down; when our son picked up his towel from the floor, he cut two fingers open, which left him in tears and in a lot of pain. We reported it to the manager and she didn’t seem to care, just said she’d get it fixed as soon as possible. No concern for his wellbeing. Luckily we had our own first aid kit. When we left the nail still had not been sorted. Really poor.

While tastes differ, the food is really not good here. It’s pretty much the same every night. Very low quality. And if you don’t get in early, you’re queuing for 30-45 minutes and searching around to eat the best of the leftovers. It’s sloppy, low quality and tasteless. Our kids liked the sausages, that was about it.

The pool isn’t great. Parts of it are ridiculously deep; I’m 6ft and couldn’t touch the ground. Be prepared to hear whistles every two seconds; you can’t do anything. Other parts of the pool, where you can stand/touch the floor, are packed. Expect to queue for the bar. If getting cocktails, expect low quality, ready-made, drinks.

Staff are clearly unhappy. Nobody had a smile on their face.

It’s very expensive for what you get. Poor app to book restaurants/activities. Unhappy staff. Poor food. No air con in the entertainment halls or restaurants. Entertainment was not good. Basic accommodation with the worlds most uncomfortable bed (subjective I know, but never known anything like it).

We spent a lot of money on this holiday. Not sure why On The Beach, Jet2 and EasyJet are associating themselves with this place. It’s really bad. We left more stressed than when we arrived - we wished we’d gone elsewhere or stayed at home.

We’ve since spoken to the hotel group and they have completely dismissed the suspected theft and injury of our son. We know things happen, but the response from the manager and group has been shocking.

TripAdvisor Review
Great potential but don’t go!

We came with an open mind but the place is tired! Our lodge was fine but we had to clean the outside furniture with anti bac wipes. The cover of the hot tub looked as if it had never been cleaned. The pools and slides are fine but again the terraced areas need to be improved drastically. When a large establishment is scruffy and unkept everywhere it has to be down to poor management. We are so glad we only stayed 3 nights. On our last afternoon the housekeeping didn’t leave any toilet roll. When my adult daughter went to reception to place a request, she was verbally abusd by a male receptionist. At this point I lost it. I went to reception and when I complained about the man’s attitude he promptly left but not before we took photos of one another! He returned and threatened to get me arrested for taking his photograph. He said he had my passport number and my address! A manager was called to resolve the situation. I deleted my photograph in front of the manager and the man was taken to one side. 2 hours later I had to return to reception as we still hadn’t received the said toilet paper. The rude man was back behind the desk but assigned to answering the phone What an experience - Jet 2 and easyjet need to seriously remove themsleves from this establishment - before something drastic happens. We were premium guests but even in our ‘exclusive’ zone we had to hide uncovered electric cables and holes in the ground from our 31 month old granddaughter as well as nails sticking out from woodwork!

Extremely disappointing stay — theft, poor housekeeping's and appalling management!

Extremely disappointing stay — theft, poor housekeeping and appalling management Our stay at Magic Robin Hood was an absolute nightmare and, unfortunately, what should have been a relaxing break turned into an extremely upsetting experience. On the very first day, while our room was being cleaned, my partner’s £120 perfume went missing. The timing is incredibly concerning, as the perfume was there before the room was cleaned and gone afterwards. We immediately raised this with the staff, expecting the hotel to take the matter seriously and investigate properly.

Instead, we were essentially told that because we couldn’t prove who had taken it, there was nothing they could do. That response was completely unacceptable. We weren’t asking the hotel to magically produce proof — we expected them to investigate a serious allegation of theft involving an item that disappeared while their staff had access to our room. Being effectively brushed off left us feeling completely ignored and powerless.

The housekeeping standards were also shocking. We were genuinely surprised to discover that the cleaners don’t appear to change the bedding properly — they simply make the bed. For a resort charging the prices it does, this is nowhere near the standard I would expect.

What made the entire situation even worse was the attitude of management. Rather than showing concern, empathy or any willingness to resolve the situation, we were met with an extremely poor attitude. Maria, in particular, was incredibly unhelpful and dismissive, which only added to our frustration when we were already dealing with the upsetting disappearance of a £120 personal belonging.

The biggest issue here isn't simply the value of the perfume. It’s the complete lack of accountability and customer care. If something disappears from your room while it is being cleaned, you expect the hotel to take the complaint seriously. Instead, we were made to feel as though it was simply our problem because we couldn't personally prove what had happened.

For a resort like Magic Robin Hood, this level of service is unacceptable. Poor housekeeping, a £120 item disappearing from our room, and management responding with an attitude rather than genuine assistance completely ruined our experience.

I certainly would not recommend staying here based on our experience. We went away expecting a good holiday and came away feeling disappointed, ignored and extremely let down by the way our concerns were handled.

TripAdvisor Review
Not the worst holiday but wouldn't return.

So here is my honest review. Don't be too shocked when you come up to the hotel as it looks very dated. The resort is somewhat dated but the front does not do it any justice at all. So first impressions....great pool with plenty of slides and also a quieter pool - both with children's area. Rooms tidy but are a little compact. They are basically like a static caravan but was plenty of room for us a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 teenager). Food is good at the buffet restaurant and we had no problem at all finding things to eat. The evening entertainment is ok, some better than others. One evening we walked into Albir and it is well worth the walk. Front the hotel to Albir beach is about 30 mins but like I said well worth a visit both in the day and in the evening. So the worst part of our experience was having a £80 bottle of perfume stolen from our room. The reception staff were very helpful and did get the manager to contact my husband the next day. The manager asked if there was anything he could do as they are not allowed to search members of staff. It may have been nice if he had made a gesture rather than asking my husband what he wanted to be done 🤷🏼‍♀️ All staff are friendly and very helpful (well apart from the cleaner who stole my perfume). Also just be aware WiFi isn't great but that is not something that really bothered or affected me. Just to note beds are not very comfortable either. So all in all not a bad holiday but would come back again and wouldn't recommend to friends and family 😊 For reference we stayed in a Premium Lodge in Robinhood gardens area with a hot tub. We return home Friday morning and I'll be happy to get home.
