“Massive hotel and complex, friendly staff”

We had a super time at the Vikingen Infinity Resort and Spa. This is an honest review of how we found the place with pros and cons Pros We got there after midnight, but check in was quick. Our room was a decent size with a double bed and a single which was fine for our son. the room had a small fridge as well as a kettle for make tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Bathroom was fine and was spotless when we arrived. Food Even though we arrived late, there was a snack bar that opened at 1am until 6am, so was nice to able to get some cold meats and cheeses and some salad items and some bread. The complex is massive once we found the main buffet area the choice was great for all meals though out the day, the choices were plenty if very similar most days, but they did have a themed night while we were there, and another day they did have a vast selection a sushi. Overall we had no issues with the food, there is also a couple of ala carte restaurants but never tried them. Also on the complex there are main food and bar areas so the choice of food was fantastic in my eye and i am sure I have put on a few pounds. Pools There is again a massive choice of pools by the hotel and over the bridge there is also more pools and water slides, also there is a beach area for you to swim in the sea as well as a large pier. You will not need to be up early and fight for a sunbed here, there is more than enough choice. We found the temperature of the poo, water to be very cold, not sure if that was due to it being later October, but lots of people found it too cold to swim in the pools, however the sea was much warmer. Staff The staff I found were very pleasant and made you feel welcome, Not sure where all the negative comments about the staff not being able to cater for us English speaking, cause we had no issues at all. From reception staff, to the bar staff, all the waiters, and even the cleaners, we never once had any issues, all were fantastic and a credit to the hotel. They also work extremely hard and do long hours so a little tip every now and then goes a long way for them. The hotel does have a few shops which are not over expensive, It also has a nice spar which we used, as well as a hairdressers and there might be more, as I said the place is massive. Cons Most of these are very minor, but think it should mentioned. Our room was next to the lift and stairs on the second floor 2255. We did have issues with noise late of a night so if you like your sleep, best not get a room near them areas due to the foot fall of people moving around late through the night, its a shame some guests like to scream and shout so late in the hotel, they should have a little respect for others. While the bathroom was nice and clean and a decent size, the shower pressure was not good, it was slightly better of a morning but just a trickle but early evening, something the hotel might want to look at. Entertainment While there are things going on during the day, Pool pole, darts ect, I found the mini disco a little late with it only starting at 21.15pm and the main adults show starting at 10pm. The shows we seen were to great if I am honest, also the DJ night by the Pool bar was just a guy with a laptop who would just change the music every now and then. Entertainment could be improved in my eyes. Food While I found the food to be very good and super choice available, I did notice that sometimes it was just lukewarm rather than hot. Otherwise no issues. Overall I think the hotel is fantastic, maybe not a full 5* but a very good 4+ rating and I would love to go back there in the future. The staff are a credit to the hotel. Thank you making our stay so good.

“Nice hotel but not 5 star”

We went to this hotel in October for a week. The hotel is very big and the rooms were nice and cleaned well every day. The pool area was lovely and the pools very clean. The waterslides were good and the lifeguards very nice. I didn't rate the food to be honest. It was pretty much the same every night and was certainly not 5 star food. The restaurants were busy. We went down for breakfast about 9am and for dinner about 8pm. It was always hard to find a table that was made up ready for you to sit at. It was also hard to find knives and forks! They could of had more staff working to clear the tables quicker. The entertainment in the evening didn't start until 10pm. So there was quite a wait between finishing dinner and going to watch that. The hotel reception is massive with lots of seating areas so we used to sit in reception until the entertainment started. The Turkish baths in the spa were nice but there were quite a few broken tiles in there which again in my opinion doesn't make it 5 star. My family went and had some massages which were fairly priced. There is a bridge from the hotel, over a busy dual carriageway to the water park and other restaurants. They do have music playing on the terraces every day so you don't hear the traffic! There is a mall you can walk to which is about 15 minutes away where you can go and buy the fake clothes! I would advise getting a private transfer from the airport to the hotel as the journey is about 1.5hours. I've seen some reviews that say the hotel was terrible but we didn't think this. I would of given it 3.5-4 stars.
