One of the most unusual hotels we have ever visited. It was just at the start of the summer season, and you could understand why it wasn't up and running properly. The big plusses for this hotel are the oustanding location, the quality of the rooms and public areas and the general attitude of the staff, although it might be useful if any of them had a second language. The place was clean and room service was excellent.
The minuses were ones that some guests might find intolerable. Whan we arrived, the swimming pool resembled a sludge pit, with about 1/2 metre of muck and rubbish in the bottom, and very little effort was being made to drain it and fill with clean water. As for dinner, we were told that it started at 8.30pm............at 8.25pm the restaurant was still devoid of staff. Then suddenly waitress and another person arrive and started to take our order. The menu was very limited, only fish and a lot of different ways to cook ham and pork. None of the usual things you associate with Spain, like beef or chicken. The food was ok, but nothing special. They had a good wine selection at reasonable prices, so no complaint with that. However, the worst aspect of staying there was trying to find a way through the town of Mancha Real, about 10km from the hotel. This place is a maze of one-way streets with no signs or directions to Torres, where the hotel actually is. All in all it was a very mixed bag, but the view from the terrace was something very special, and we would probably go again....good value at E43 a night.
