We enjoyed our 8 night stay at the Orange. We made the mistake of requesting a pool-view room, not realising that this meant facing the Square. We have never heard so much noise going right through until 6 a.m. This meant keeping the doors closed which in turn made the room very warm and as the air-con doesn't work until high season, this made for a few uncomfortable night.
The hotel was very quiet as it was the first week in May.
The food was very good although the selection of food at the Servigroup Torres Dorada was much better, having been there several times. The dining hall layout isn't the best. There is little room for queuing for the food and the soups and hot plates are in the corner where the end of the queue should be and so a lot of "jockeying" for plates and takes place. I would imagine that when the hotel is busier the other of serving area is used. The hot plates are a must because from experience, having lived in Spain for 9 years, food in Spain is never served hot, which is a must for me. You can always let food cool down but not warm it up.
The staff are very friendly, especially the bar staff, always smiling and attentive. Alberto the show chef was a nice chap, who was very busy at times, keeping up with the demand for eggs and bacon off the grill. We found one of the managers a bit surly.
