The hotel had amazing rooms that were very nice and different in a good way. The food quality was good, but the view of the garden instead of the sea was a little disappointing. The rooms were really big with a nice view; however, there was a severe damp problem.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were old and didn't work properly but provided a wonderful view of the Strait of Gibraltar on clear days. However, being just above the swimming pool for babies and young children made it very noisy when trying to relax on the terrace. The rooms were basic and in need of improvement.

The location was superb, with lovely gardens, a great pool, and breathtaking views of the sea.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a uniquely laid out bathroom allowing for a nice view and convenient pool access. The exceptional service, including a special birthday gesture, stands out. However, the lack of towel changes and coffee restocking was noticeable. The location provides stunning views, beach access, and smooth operations, although limited dining options nearby. Dining offers a great selection but can be a bit pricey. Overall, a phenomenal experience marred only slightly by minor service gaps and location limitations.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with very big rooms and spacious bathrooms. It was a fantastic experience considering the value for money. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially when they upgraded all three rooms for my family celebrating my 65th birthday. The location is one of the best things about this hotel, with a lovely sandy beach nearby, though I would have appreciated waiter service at the pool. The dining options were very good, especially the vast breakfast buffet with freshly cooked options. The facilities were top-notch and catered to our needs perfectly.

I have mixed feelings about the hotel. The rooms were nice even though we booked a King Size Bed and got two single beds, but they smelt a bit damp; however, the views of the grounds and seafront were lovely. The rooms are large, and so are the common areas like the reception, swimming pool, and hotel gardens. The service was excellent, with staff going out of their way to provide recommendations for exploring Andalusia, but they forgot to return something when requested. The location is great if you don't plan on leaving the hotel premises with easy access to the beach, a huge pool, and a dreamlike view, but if you want more outside options, Rhona and Tarifa are nearby. The dining experience was a bit chaotic at times, but the selection was good; however, the price per person seemed high for what was offered. Overall, a decent stay.

The hotel offers spacious and beautifully decorated rooms with lovely views. Although the jacuzzi style bath did not seem to work and our terrace was noisy due to its proximity to the children's pool, the overall experience was great. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our family vacation wonderful. The location provides private beach access and a dreamlike setting, though it's a bit isolated. Dining had a good variety but could improve. The facilities were top-notch.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with all expected amenities, friendly service in most areas, a great location with views of the sea, Gibraltar, and North Africa, and a lovely dining experience with plenty of choices.
