How many stars does Hotel LIVVO Koala Garden have?
I agree with other guests who say the hotel definately isn’t a 4*.
Arrived late at night, no vending machines in reception, no open shops nearby. One Spar across the road which I believe shuts at around 9pm, so after a long day travelling we had to remain hungry and in need of a nice drink until the following morning. Water is provided in the room upon arrival, but it’s just sat on the side at room temp, not cold. The hotel isn’t near any facilities, it’s taxi or bus everywhere and one shop about a 5 minute walk away.
Our “balcony” was what I could only compare to a communal area, ground floor patio with nothing around it, so there is zero privacy right by the pool area with foot traffic constant and easy accessibility into your room if the door is open, as I read another guest review stating this happened during their stay. Was definately not fond of it just being an outdoor patio rather than an enclosed balcony space.
Sun Loungers are the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on, thin mesh material with a metal bar sat right beneath your back making it unbearable to sit on.
Housekeeping not great, 4pm and onwards changeovers if they even come at all. After a day on a buggy excersion and being covered from head to toe in sand, 4:45pm and still no housekeeper has arrived with clean towels.
If you can only get a late flight on your departure then I’d reconsider booking as room extension is pretty much non existent, from our experience and hearing from others. Our check out is 12pm I believe and our transfers aren’t picking us up until 6:30pm, which means 6.5hours in reception, as there are no facilities or anywhere nearby to visit. The weather is still really hot, so sitting outside and sweating isn’t an option when we have a long day ahead. We were offered a room for 30mins but that isn’t enough time for both my husband & I to take showers, that’s giving us 15mins each to shower, dry & get ready, so I didn’t bother accepting the room. It’s something atleast, but not really great.
Snack bar serve the same everyday, the food in the drinks bar is what I presume left overs wrapped in clingfilm.
Breakfast was tragic, we went once and not again it was so bad, we have skipped breakfast the rest of our stay.
The food isn’t great I’ll be honest.
Pool area is incredibely small & cramped.
Rooms are nice, kettle and fridge supplied which is always appreciated.
We’ve just returned from livvo koala, Long read but here’s my review.
The hotel rooms were lovely, spacious, and very well equipped. Our apartment-style accommodation had a separate living room and bedroom, both with their own TVs, plus a balcony. The bathroom was excellent, with a separate shower and bath, and I particularly liked that the hotel used refillable hand soap and shower gel dispensers rather than single-use plastics.
The food throughout our stay was very good with plenty of variety. The main restaurant offered freshly made pizzas, Spanish dishes, a great salad bar, soups, and a good selection of desserts. The snack bar was also excellent, serving hot dogs, burgers, pizza, and salads throughout the day.
The pool bar was one of the highlights. It offered all the favourite fizzy drinks, a slushy machine, coffee machine, and water dispenser, all available on a self-service basis. The bartender was fantastic, and the all-inclusive package included cider, beer, wine, and cocktails. There were also snacks available during the day, including nachos and pastries, with peanuts served in the evening.
The entertainment team truly made the holiday special. During the day they regularly walked around inviting guests to join in activities, creating a fun and friendly atmosphere. There was something for everyone, from relaxed games such as bingo and dice games to more active options including darts, archery, bowls, and bowling. Everyone was encouraged to join in, regardless of age or ability.
Evening entertainment was equally impressive, with a mini disco for children followed by professional shows in a lovely open-air setting. The entertainment team were outstanding throughout our stay and worked incredibly hard to keep everyone entertained.
The hotel itself is spread across different zones, each with its own pool area. There were plenty of sunbeds available and lots of space, so it never felt overcrowded.
The location was also ideal for exploring. We visited the water park using the hotel’s free bus service and took a taxi back for under €10. We also visited the beach by bus and again returned by taxi for less than €10. On Saturday, we enjoyed visiting the market in Playa del Inglés, which had a great atmosphere and plenty of stalls to browse. A return taxi journey cost less than €20.
Currently staring her from the 30th-8th. We staying in pool zone one. Have to knock points off as cleaners only cleaned our room once, didn’t change the bed with stains on it and didn’t sweep the floor ect. However rooms are huge and bathrooms too.
Other than that staff were friendly and are nice if you’re nice. (No issues with languages- English people say there is but they’re picky and annoying)
Food was okay-mid range food but slightly repetitive if you only like certain things, don’t go if you’re a picky eater.
Location wise everything is so far away, however we knew this pre booking so local busses and €6 euro taxi to the centre so not what people are saying. All inclusive drinks are good, snack bars bit outdated and around the pool areas need a bit of TLC.
Overall the worst thing was the loud crying kids that had parents with a pea brain. Can’t lie that’s just brits abroad tho so you can’t complain too much. Trying to get a subbed when a family of 15 is around the small pool with 5 kids is quite annoying even tho signs state no reservation on pool beds, this didn’t seem to be enforced.
Good holiday overall just a slight bit of work needs doing.
This hotel is lovely but research unlike us.
This hotel is designed for families with very small children the activities are all aimed at young ones. The pools are lovely and the food is relatively basic. There is a center close by that has lots of places to eat if you get bored there about a ten min walk. Location there isn't much around other than a Spar which has plenty there. The staff are AMAZING they are super friendly and they have resident cats which are cute as hell but don't feed them.
Families reserve their loungers from 11pm the night before which is a nightmare the towel removal message by the pool bar does not get enforced. So you end up having to sort of join in with it all.
I have marked the hotel down as it needs some love putting back into it. The doors are blown due to the water, our room was HUGE and lovely but the door toghe bedroom had dropped so we had to lift it to close it and the shower door had no rubber seal to prevent you from flooding the bathroom which in turn has blown the bathroom door, the front door needed a good shoulder to it to open it and again to properly shut it once inside. The pool bar toilets are hit and miss, sometimes the locks dont work and sometimes the flush doesn't work and there's only one of each toilet. I loved the snack bar however if you plan on having pizza for tea you might fing yourself eating the same thing. Playa De Ingles isn't that far away 7 ish euros in a taxi and it is where the life is if thats what youre looking for. Activity team were lovely and got everyone involved.
Rooms are spacious and being renovated. Food varied, good breakfast choices, lunch options maybe better than dinner. Snack lunch pizza and burgers by the pool the best and lovely chef! Three pools are 1.5m/2m deep lifeguards on duty. Sunbeds plentiful for early July. Entertainment was poor, holiday makers entertaining holiday makers. Not much for kids to do daytime just 2 table tennis tables, no courts etc. This complex is isolated so taxi's (€7) are the option to visit Playa del Ingles or Meloneres. Palmitos animal park was a trip well worth doing. We love GC but will not return to this area as it's too isolated. We made the most of our stay but would rate it more a 3* than 4*.
