Hotel Orquidea-Bahia Feliz, BAHíA Feliz

I and my partner, a couple of 40 something's, have just returned in feb'08 from the Orquidea which was in my opinion a 3T (not 4T) hotel. The Orquidea is run almost exclusively for Scandinavians in the middle of a desolate resort (Bahia Feliz). Although the Scandinavians were more friendly and polite than the Germans, we felt like strangers in a strange land. I was told by an English mum (one of only two other English people I met at the hotel) that her son was excluded from the kids club because her child couldn't speak Nordic. The rooms were nice with fine balcony scenes but at 02.30 every night the air conditioning appeared to be switched off creating mini ovens. The hotel was very clean and spacious and the Spanish staff were very friendly and helpful. Amongst the culinary delights created by the Muppet show's Swedish Chef, were brussel sprouts and cabbage for breakfast (with cooked meats) and in the evenings fish and salads (with cooked meats). There was, to be fair, an attempt made at an English breakfast in the guise of rare sausages, fatty streaky bacon and crispy fried eggs, but I personally would have preferred the cooked meats. After two days, despite being half board, we couldn't stomach any more so we ate at one of the local restaurants. There was no sandy beach, just pebbles and rocks and a makeshift sandpit. The Thomson excursions were our only release, but sooner or later we'd always end up back in mini-me Norway at desolation point. On the plane back to England people were raving about Peuerto Rico, so go there instead. if not, like me you'll be screaming "I'm English.. get me out of here."

just increadable ***** A+++ so amazing so were the people and real fit girls! lee was a awsome rep also :) awsome cant belive its over!

anyone who says anything bad about this hotel must be crazy! myself and partner have travelled to many places such as dom republic, tunisia, and even the maldives being in our early twenties we want to see as much of the countries as poss,but just cant stay away from this hotel.last year we decided to take my mum who is the most fussiest person around thats y we bought her here we new she wouldn't have a thing to complain about and we were right! this hotel is great for al ages from young children to older couples it is of an extremely high standard if your idea of a good holiday is sitting by the pool al day or just having quiet strolls or even action packed with activities alday and lively entertainment al night this is al of it!!!! u have got to try it to believe it!
