  : Nothing
  : its very dated. hasnt had an upgrade in decades. its obvious. my mistake for not looking more carefully. its on the ocean but you cannot swim in the ocean. its too rocky so it just a very tired old package holiday venue. definitely not good if you just need a nice place to sleep while you explore the island. food is very poor.

  : One of the most relaxing places I've been to!
  : Lights on the room balcony are being kept on after 11pm, no way to turn them off, so you must close the curtains... That's annoying.

  : The hotel is in a sunny and quiet location, offering great facilities to relax and have fun.
  : Churros in the Foodmarket restaurant were great, but in Origen absolutely terrible, on one morning even seemed that some leftover oil from fries was used for churros. Please fix that!!!The sheets during our 10 day stay were never changed, evethough visibly dirty.Sometimes leftover food was served in the restaurants. In the morning of December 24, the breafast in Origen had only stale bread. Really not enjoyable, particularly considering the crazy prices for the few nights over Xmas that the hotel charged.The hotel offers different interesting facilities, but the reception provides only very limited information on this upon arrival (including in the leaflet and app). Essentially one has to go around and ask to get any understanding how things work.The heated pools are only marginally warmer than the others at best, so still very cold.Not sure what was the point of the Christmas dinner on the 25th of December - the arrangment was very stressful, in the end very short time to have dinner, and the food was less tasty than usually. Including drinks was not that much of a bonus for a teetotaler.The meat and fish selection in Origen was great, but the salad bar was rather disappointing. Not easy to have a really healthy meal.The food selection in the Mirador seemed to consist mostly of junk food unfortunately.On colder/windier days Origen is rather cold, as all doors are open creating draft, plus still fans in the ceiling.Not easy to relax by the pool area as the music in Coral bar is very partyish and loud.

  : The place was great, nice pools, lovely views. The bedroom was big, with comfortable bed and had a nice and big bathroom.
  : The food was just ok, nothing spectacular, just enough to sustain you. Cheap ingredients cooked adequately. The place reminded us of Disneyland.

  : hotels place was ok. Breakfast, lunch, dinner in the different restaurants ok, however food marked and restaurant Origien best.
  : The hotel has manny pools, water fresh and clean to high standard, but desirable could be a pool with ocean water from Atlantic.
