What a week at Presidente costs
Google Hotels asking price for each week of the next year. Cheapest month: December. Dearest: May.
Average per night, by month (2 adults)
Google Hotels asking prices, checked 16 Oct 2026: the lowest public rate per night, for 2 adults or 2 adults + 2 children (7 and 10). A week = 7 nights from Saturday. Town figures compare each hotel with itself across the year, then take the middle hotel, so winter closures do not skew them. School holidays: council-maintained schools (England: Kent and Birmingham; Scotland: Glasgow; Wales: Welsh Government). Package deals with flights price differently.
Reviews summary
What guests say
We read the latest 200 Google reviews, posted between 30 Jun 2025 and 14 Oct 2026. 157 gave five stars and 5 gave one or two. Staff (71 reviews, 4.6) and food (68 reviews, 4.7) come up most, and the shows score best of all (19 reviews, 4.8). Drinks (26 reviews, 4.7) and value (14, 4.7) also score well. The weak spot is the area: 11 reviews mention noise from the bars around it. Recent reviews have dipped a little: the last 30 average 4.4, against 4.6 all-time.
We count and summarise; we don't copy reviews. Averages are the star ratings of the reviews that mention each thing.
Pool and sunbeds
Can you get a sunbed?
- Pool on two levels, with Bali beds and a jacuzzi on each level
- Open 08:30 to 19:00
- Sunbeds and parasols free, but you can't reserve them
- Towels €3 (£2.54) a day plus a €10 (£8.46) refundable deposit
- Pool bar in summer only
7 of the 200 reviews mention sunbeds, and they're split. Some say there are always beds and the pool attendant makes sure everyone gets a turn. Others say there aren't enough, that people queue for them in the morning, and that security lifts towels left to reserve a bed (you collect them from reception). The hotel's rule: sunbeds are free and can't be reserved.

What people are saying
The chatter
We read 166 YouTube comments under Who Knows Where's review of the Presidente (53,190 views). 50 commenters have stayed or are booked, many every year. They talk about the refurb (gone are the dark wood panels), the food, and the acts at Philippines 10. The complaint is the same as at Don Pancho: paying for the safe, here €4 a day. Regulars' tip: book well ahead for the best price. Some commenters prefer it to Don Pancho for the bigger pool and the food; others the other way round.
