Great video, thanks for sharing! It's so nice to hear your experience as reviews on TA have been concerning. We are due to stay here in summer hols & found your video after reading your review, which has definitely reassured us, thank you. If you have time, there's a few recent questions on TA that I think people would appreciate your advice on. Thanks again :)

[@DJLeff]

Thank you! Yes, very concerning reviews on TA, and like I say, I may have fell lucky but I feel some of the reviews are unfair! Look forward to hearing how your trip goes. I’ll have a look on TA now and answer. Anything I’ve not included in the video you want to ask me about let me know.

[@teresah2359]

​@DJLeff That's great, thank you. Definitely feeling reassured after watching your videos & reading your reviews/comments. Can I ask a silly question, is it obvious from the menus etc what is included in the All Inclusive package, as I have visions of my Daughters running up a massive bill!

@@teresah2359 ha ha, don’t worry. I’m glad it’s helped you. At first it’s not clear but if you ask at the bar they let you know, but don’t worry, they can’t put it on a tab, you have to pay when you get it. It’s basically crisps, nuts, branded ice creams that are extra. At the main bar by reception they have QR codes on the tables that will tell you what’s on the menu but again, doesn’t tell you what’s included or not. The staff are helpful enough to tell you, but it’s a bit sneaky.

@@DJLeff Fab, thank you. One last question (I promise!), what App do I need to make breakfast/dinner reservations, etc ... I have the Portaventura one, but can't see it on there. Thank you so much for your help.

[@DJLeff]

@@teresah2359 oh yeah, I’ve just gone onto the app and they have changed it! I can’t find it either. I was worried before I left as I wanted to try and pre-book our meals but you are only given your reference number when you check in. Don’t worry about thinking you’re going to miss out as there is plenty of availability. It just might mean that for your first meal you might have to eat at whatever time is available. After that, just book your times for the period of your stay

Nice review mate thanks! We’re heading there very soon and I’ve got a food allergy. Do you happen to know if the buffet has allergens labelled on each food item? We’ve been before but it has been a while so just wanted to check!

[@DJLeff]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! I don’t recall them having anything next to the food with allergy advice no sorry. They must have something somewhere though. I’d ask when you check in at reception.

I’m there rn lol

Hiya, great review! Can I just ask (if you know!) are all of the balconies like yours or were you in an upgraded room? Thanks 😊

[@DJLeff]

Hi! Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The majority are like the one I had. The ground floor have a bit more obviously and just will have trees and flowers blocking between open area and the path. I did see some without a balcony but not many. The upgraded ones are near the pool and the balcony is a lot bigger on those 😊

Thank you so much for this. I have been to the El Paso before but not on an all inclusive, This year I am a single parent taking two teenage girls (15) and was concerned that I may have to fork out more money than already paid to keep them fed and watered. Can you tell me, the snack bar is it obvious what they can get as part of the all inclusive? I wouldn't want them snacking on nothing but chips but I am assuming a ham & cheese toastie would be included? and call me stupid but lemonade (7up/spirit) is included in the drinks? One last thing (sorry), did you get lunch in the park? If so, did you need vouchers from the hotel to do this or did you use your hotel/park card?

[@DJLeff]

Hi! Thank you for your comment, glad you found the video useful ☺️ yes, most of things included, just be careful at the pool bar and the bar outside near reception as the snacks that cost extra look very tempting, especially after a drink! Everything at the snack bar that’s self service is included and they keep it topped up quite well. The toasties seem to come out later on but they have fresh sandwiches (tuna and cheese), fruit etc on the right hand side. You don’t need to get everything at once. Yep, the Sprite is included too, as are slushes and they have water machines around too for you to fill up cups. Yes you can get lunch / evening meals at the parks. There is plenty of choice where to go but just make sure you find them out before hand so you can plan where your eating. Each restaurant offers different choice too. You use a QR code for the food on the app (although the app has changed since we’ve been). It’s really easy and you get a 3 course meal with a drink so I think that’s brilliant! Especially if you get bored of the food at the hotel ☺️
