Schön für einen kurzen Erholungsaufenthalt.
Pros:

Schöne Lage direkt am Meer. Grosses Zimmer mit Balkon zum Meer, grosses Bad. Genug Parkplätze (zumindest im März).

Cons:

Ausstattung und Ambiance sind eher ein bisschen altmodisch, das Spa hätte eine Auffrischung nötig.

Wir lieben Andalusien und suchen uns auf jeden Fall ein Hotel mit mehr Leidenschaft & Flair
Pros:

Frühstück und auch die Mitarbeiter beim Frühstücksservice sehr freundlich, Die Lage war herrlich ruhig, freie Parkplätze jederzeit vorhanden, Preis für die absolute Nebensaison ok.

Cons:

Zimmerwunsch könnte man erst am Vortag der Abreise entsprechen, bekommen haben wir genau das Zimmer, was wir expliziet und auch kommuniziert NICHT haben wollten, meine Aussgae an der stets unfreundlichen Rezeption : "eben fu..ing booking Gäste" wurde nichtbeantwortet beantwortet... Pool war erst gesperrt, dann wegen fussball-team geöffnet, das HAus ist abslut in die Jahre gekommen

Pros:

Love this hotel, keep coming back every year. This year I thought to email them ahead of time about my allergies and they provided non-dairy yogurt for breakfast. The staff are fantastic, one lady has been with them for 22 years.

Cons:

The power shower in the bathroom didn't power shower
