I spent a weekend in April at this hotel and my experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, very spacious, and fully equipped with everything I needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. The hotel’s location is perfect — just a short walk from the beach — which allowed me to enjoy peaceful seaside strolls in addition to the fantastic on-site facilities. The pools were beautiful and well-maintained, and the spa was a real highlight — incredibly relaxing and professionally run. The buffet exceeded my expectations, offering a wide variety of delicious, high-quality food options to suit all tastes. What really stood out, though, was the staff: every single member of the team was kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole stay feel warm and personal. I felt truly cared for throughout my time there. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, and I’ll definitely be returning — hopefully very soon!

Lovely and quiet during the week. Weekends choas. Food is nice gets repetivite. The pasta was always cold which was a shame as it was very tasty. All staff helpful. Need to keep onto of pool cleaning daily and stop birds going into food hall. Rooms lovely and clean. To help during busy times have a pump for soft drinks to help themselves. Had a lovely stay.

Not much english spoken but I'm ok with that your in spain after all, I had to use Google translate a lot and by the end of the week I'd became rather fluent in speaking Spanish.. I wasn't a fan of having to hand over my room card every time I wanted a drink or went to eat it became a pain after a while also no kettle, tea and coffee in the room and a daily charge for the safe isn't very good for a 4 star hotel in my opinion. The food was mostly the same with only slight variations day to day and apart from the beach the area surrounding the hotel doesn't really have much to do and if you want to venture further afield the taxi fare will start from wherever the taxi set off from so can become quiet expensive.. best way I can describe this place if your coming from England is it's like a haven site for the Spanish
