I agree with the previous reviewer; El Oceano is disappointing. Largely catering to Brits, the hotel is full of footballers' wives types with an absence of any Spanish atmosphere at all. The location and views overlooking the beach are absolutely stunning, but if, like me, you are unable to get a room with a sea view, you will have a... more

I was slightly disappointed when we arrived at Oceano Beach Hotel. From the price and reviews we had expected first class luxury. What we got was standard accommodation surrounded by loud Brits abroad. The room and service were fine but don't set your expectations up for anything other than that. more

I have holidayed on the spanish coast for quite some time now and have been recommended on numerous occassions, to stay in El Oceano for that 'extra special get away', so this summer my partner and I thought we had better see what all the fuss was about and we were not disappointed!! The hotel is small and intimate, chic... more

I've stayed in many 5 star hotels all around the world. This was by far the most relaxing holiday I've ever had. The food was increadible (especially the seafood dishes.) I would recommend it to anyone! The pool area is so peacefull and relaxing, a ocean view to die for and on top of that.. the service was especially amazing.... more

I honestly didn't expect this. I have been to Barbados etc and this is on par with some of those overpriced hotels, easily. For a chilled out experience and a long weekend relax this ticked all the boxes. Loved it. I'm not going to go on because its our little secret! Just to say thanks to the staff and owners.... more

We have been staying in El Oceano for many years and have never looked elsewhere when in the Costa Del Sol. This WAS our favourite place. It has always been a bit pricey for what it is especially considering it's poor location (I mean in relation to visiting anywhere else) but we overlooked that for the ambience, theservice, the amazing... more

If you have a seaview room - and you need a mini suite for that - then the hotel is nice, breakfasts are excellent and the staff very helpful. But whilst you can ignore the dual carriageway that runs alongside, you can't ignore the dreadful live music they insist on arranging at every opportunity. I your idea of paradise is... more

I have travelled to many excellent resorts around the world including Sandy Lane in Barbados and The Elounda Beach Hotel in Crete and I found the service and freindliness of the staff the best I have ever encountered. This family run hotel excels when it comes to looking after its hotel guests whether it is in the bar, restaurant, around... more

Having recently returned from El Oceano and seen the recent negative report I have written to advise you not to be put off by this. My husband and I have been to El Oceano 3 times in the last 12 months and will definitely be going again later this year. The staff, the service, the accomodation and food is all... more
