Competa is one of the most beautiful; villages in the south of Spain. And Balcon de Competa offers old-world ambiance and a lovely location at the top of Competa. Prices are reasonable, breakfast service on the patio is terrific and the rooms are large and well outfitted. More

We stayed in the Balcon de Competa for one week organised through Sheila's Spanish Walking Holidays. The hotel staff were very welcoming and obliging. Maria and David answered my e-mails promptly and were very helpful. They provided soya milk without any fuss for my breakfast, (thank you David). Most mornings we had breakfast on the balcony before our walk with... More

We find ourseves at this hotel several times each year. We´ve stayed whilst attending a wedding and this year for other special occasions, including Valentine´s and a local festival. The hotel is not luxurious, a little raggety around the edges in fact, but the rooms are comfortable, clean and warm with terraces and wonderful mountain views down to the sea.... More

This was a second visit to this great hotel and town. As ever, the service was friendly and relaxed, and everyone was most helpful. The room appeared recently decorated and was clean and smart.

Competa and it's surrounding counryside have views to die for and it's Spanish inhabitants welcome... More

We didn't actually stay in the hotel but had a few meals and drinks there. The view is great, food great and very reasonably priced. What made it special was David - nothing is too much trouble. he'd always move the umbrellas about so we didn't have the sun in our faces, was always very friendly and helpful and took... More

The receptionist was very helpful, apologised for the road leading to the hotel not being there! Room stank of smoke, old style tv with a remote held together with tape. Clean room with shower over bath, shower basic with no hand rail. Staff very friendly and breakfast quick and tasty. More

My wife, nephew and I stayed here in October on a Ramblers Holiday. There had been a problem just prior to our arrival; the managers had left at short notice, and things were not as they should have been. Staff previously at the hotel lead by Maria, took over just two days before the twenty of us descended on them.... More
