OK, to start, I booked a surprise holiday though an online agent for a christmas present. I looked on here for reviews and was a little worried by what I saw. When we flew out, we arrived late to the hotel, about 11.15pm. The front gates where locked and we had to use a security buzzer to be let in. Now, I honestly found this reassuring rather than worrying and , once allowed in, keys were handed to us very quickly by the owner. We were allocated room 208, a room with no balcony, but we knew this anyhow.
The room was small, but spotless.
We pushed the two single beds together and created a double, which was fine for us. There was an air conditioning unit that worked lovely, but as with all aircons, was a bit loud. Not the hotels fault.
The location of the hotel is cracking. It is around 5 mins walk to the beach and less than 10 to town centre. There is free parking outside the hotel and we left our car there for several days with no trouble although the hotel does have secure parking for 12 euros a night.
There are numerous supermarkets within walking distance to the hotel, one literally next door. However, we did find Lidl up the road. Much cheaper.
THere is a laundry facility there, but we didn't get chance to use it.
The reception is open from ten till three and they are extremely helpful and will go out of their way to help.
The pool really is that small, but after all, your only a couple of minutes from the beach and why stay next to the pool when nature has supplied something much more beautiful. We had a little trouble with noise on our fifth day, some more people turned up with a loud stereo. The hotel sorted it out very quickly and no more noise was heard.
No direct sun in morning into rooms. Fab as the rooms don't heat up and are quite cool when its hot outside.
One more thing to say. We found this a brilliant little hotel to base ourselves from. We aren't people to sit around the pool and this is a brill little hotel to see more of Andalucia from. And as a surprise,we've booked back fro the same next year and if you book a second time with them, they will give you a chunky discount. We can't wait to go back there.
