This hotel is actually in the little seaside village of Herradura and is literally a 2 minute walk from the sea. Don't be put off if you arrive by car as you are directed around the back of the hotel in a shabby side street opposite a small supermarket. However, when you walk through the door the floors and stairs are grey marble and everything is spotlessly clean. The room was also spotless and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever had on holiday. We stayed on a half-board basis as this is what the website offered but there are plenty of restaurants and bars within a 5 minute walk. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace and was plentiful and varied. Dinner is served in the small restaurant downstairs and whilst the food was very good, there was not much choice - one meat dish, one fish dish, various vegatable dishes and loads of fresh salad.
I really cannot fault this hotel and we will definitely be going back. However, bear in mind that Herradura is not a particularly touristy area and the beach is pebbles rather than sand. If you like the true Spain rather than high rise hotels and 'kiss me quick hats' this is ideal.
