We read reviews from people in advance and having experienced the hotel, we can only wonder what some people expect when they go away.

The hotel was spotlessly clean in every area - I spent many years in hospitality, so went looking: no complaints. Maids and cleaners were in general evidence, and busy, at all hours.

Food was routinely fresh, varied, tasty, inventive and well stocked; with great local produce - fish and vegetable dishes.

Staff were plentiful in number; always happy to help; always available.

The entertainers were a magnificent troupe - present throughout the hotel from breakfast to late at night; co-ordinating and presenting a mix of their own (mainly) and professional shows. They were also seen helping guests with luggage; chatting round the pool to people; and daily running fitness classes; in-pool activities; and poolside games and quizzes. The balance between invitation / availability, and OTT was spot on.

It is true that (literally) 99% of the guests were French and elderly - but this is only a problem if you let it become one (as some reviewers seem to have). We accepted the hotel therefore had to cater to this market, so fine.

DON'T be put off by your arrival. The hotel is VERY near a very busy dual carriageway. But - amazingly - once inside the hotel area, you would never know it and we'd forgotten within an hour.

10 minute walk to the beach, which has a lengthy and very clean strip of wide walkway; random exercise kit for anyone to hop on; and a selection of bars and restaurants. The walk there and back is pleasant enough, taking you - in part - through some lovely streets and areas.

The one negative we had - we let it wash over - has nothing to do with the hotel, but the French guests. There was no malice, but they appeared consistently - culturally, we believed - to be rude, boorish; with no sense of queueing and happy to barge in...........and don't ask them if the chair at their table's free, you just get a filthy look. This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't all-pervasive, but they appeared - as a group - to have a rude mob mentality. This behaviour was confirmed by a young solo English male there on a brief stay: he said he works throughout Europe, across several French-speaking countries, and this behaviour is the norm.
BUT..............DON'T be put off going here by that. Ignore them and, believe me, they'll ignore you.

Small; charming; clean; quaint - we'd recommend it

A friend and I spent just five days for a peaceful Easter break here and found it to be absolutely beautiful. It has a small Andalusian village feel about it's two story winding pathway "hotel". The all inclusive food was impressive and varied, (check out the speciality dish each evening). The pool was large (too cold) and had good child facilities at one end and a great bar/ entertainment area at the other.
Reception staff were very helpful and friendly although English was not their strength.
There were lots of French tourists and French reps everywhere and I spent more time speaking French than Spanish!, but this only really affected us adversely for the evening entertainment.
The pool was too close to the main road ( I believe they are landscaping to fix this now) and on our last night there was a serious fire in the bar. Check to see if this has been fixed.

Have just returned from this hotel after staying here for 10 days. Me & my partner are both 22. Very few English at this hotel..! All entertainment is in French (and awful!!!) and they do not speak a word of English and will not even attempt to talk to you unless you speak French! very very VERY rude! One Spanish lady (Carmen) was very helpful and made us feel welcome. All hotel and restaurant staff very friendly & polite. Maid service was very good & hotel very clean & tidy. No inflatables allowed in the pool..?!! Would not recommend this hotel to anyone who is English as you will be ignored for your whole stay here.. unless you speak french!

we have just come back from san pedro hotel pueblo it is a french themed hotel not used to british holidaymakers so you are not theit concern apart from one loveley rep for the british but there was only one other couple besides us so we were minority .we tried to join in with activities but were ignored mostly. good points lovely hotel good food spanish staff wonderful french entertainers need to be more polite we paid the same money and do exist maybe they dont want brits there but they advertise for allnationalities so dont ignore us when we pay .
