Holding a business seminar in this place is quite nice. Rooms are large and nice, bathrooms are huge (2 sinks, lots of space, plumbing may need a little refresh) and it is so calm. Close to the city beaches. On site food is good, breakfast on the terrace a real pleasure. There are anyway plenty of other places around (need to drive).

As noted by other travelers, this location, due to its landscape on a hill, may not be adequate for people having special access requirements: there are quite some stairs to get from rooms to the reception, restaurant or meeting rooms.

Hotel Internet access, provided by Telefonica, is unfortunately a real pain. And it was already bad when I stayed there one year ago.

My husband and I and teenage daughter just spent 10 glorious relaxing days at El Rodat. It was one of the most restful holidays we ever had.
The rooms were lovely, with a terrace each, well equipped and comfortable and spacious. We were in a junior suite which was later upgraded to a grande suite, even more luxurious !
The hotel is quite small and has an intimate feel. We got to know the staff quite well, all were warm friendly and helpful.
The food was fantastic, breakfast was a sizable buffet, lunch was a range of hot and cold dishes including tapas and paellas, both in the terrace restaurant upstairs with beautiful views of the hills.
Dinner was downstairs in the El Rodat restaurant and was truly spectacular, and fantastic value as the set 5 course menu was only €43 a head. The wine was very reasonably priced too and the service friendly and efficient.
The highlight for me was the range of gluten free bread and pastries available, which is rare in my experience.
The spa is also worth a visit, even if you dont have any treatments as they have a range of thermal pools and Turkish baths/sauna.
The swimming pool is tiny but surrounded by trees and shrubs giving shade. It is very quiet and there is absolutely no need to reserve sun loungers!
Unfortunately there is no gym. What they call "Fitness" is the thermal pool- however there are tennis courts if you can cope with the heat.
We wanted a rest in a quiet place and that is exactly what we got - people looking for nightlife should go elsewhere.

My partner and I booked two 1h30m massages last weekend as we were both due to some well deserved relaxation. When she booked the massages, she asked via phone if the Spa use was included (which usually when booking a massage is the case) and this got confirmed. So on the day, after the massage we used to spa for a little while, but it is really nothing special. Small sauna which was not up to heat, tiny pool, jacuzzi area, etc. After 20mins we called it a day, showered and made our way to the reception to pay. Turns out that for some reason there was a miss-understanding regarding the usage of the spa, and we now got charged 30 EUROS per person to use the spa!! Even in the events where sometimes the spa is not included with your massage, you typically get charged 5-10 EUR per person, and you get to use a decent spa. 30 EUROS per person for this standard of spa was a disgrace. It pretty much straight away undid the relaxation the massage provided. 1 star and not a recommendation as far as the Spa goes!

Stayed in a Grand Suite for our wedding night. Was more like an apartment. Very luxurious, with entrance hall, lounge area, bedroom, large bathroom and spacious terrace with sun loungers and table and chairs. Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Spain.
