We stayed in the hotel in late November 2011 and had a great room (junior suite) on the west side overlooking the Guadiana river rolling from North to South. On the North you could see the new bridge that brings you to Portugal, and in the South is the town and the little estuary. Great place, very relaxing. Perhaps a bit cold, but what else would you expect in November? The hotel is very modern, the service was good, as was the outlook from the dining room. Romantic? Perhaps a bit.

Superb location with great views over the estuary between Spain and Portugal. Very quiet but service and facilities first class

We stayed here one night. The hotel is built in a lovely location, overlooking the Guadiana River which separates Spain from Portugal. The building is seventies style, long and characterless, but because of the style most of the rooms are big and have balconies looking out onto the river and to your left the town itself. The town is walking distance, but advise taking a taxi back to the hotel as it is all uphill home! Do not eat here, it is very expensive and with no imagination. There is a big choice of good quality restaurants in Ayamonte itself.

A typically old fashioned "modern" parador overlooking the River Guardiana which marks the border between Spain and Portugal. We had a spacious room with great views to the west. The building doesn´t have much charm, but the receptionist was very welcoming and the restaurant friendly and accommodating (they let us share plates of food without complaint). This was a welcome hideaway during terrible (warm but wet) December weather. Ayamonte itself looks like an uncontrolled architectural nightmare of a coastal development zone, typical of much of the Spanish coastline - we avoided it. The Parador is north of the town, signposted from a roundabout a few minutes drive from the motorway: one can avoid entering Ayamonte with no problem.
