Excellent ! Une découverte !
Pros:

Un charme un peu suranné, une vue splendide, un hôtel chargé d’histoire et situé dans une petite station balnéaire à l’ancienne, dans un village vivant et un environnement naturel préservé.

Cons:

La piscine était en cours de remplissage et nous n’avons donc pas pu en profiter mais il faisait encore frais.
Il n’est pas possible d’arriver tard.

Un hotel emblemático en primera línea de playa
Pros:

La ubicación, las vistas al mar (en primera línea de playa, la comodidad de la cama y la amabilidad de Beatriz y del propietario, que además nos dedico su tiempo para contarnos la historia del hotel de los ilustres y famosos clientes que han dejado su huella allí. Por último y más importante es un lugar que admite mascotas!!!

Cons:

Es un hotel antiguo y cualquiera podría quejarse de algunos detalles a mejorar pero no seré yo quien lo haga.

Not recommended.
Pros:

The public facilities on the ground floor looked really nice.
The place has history as a film location .

Cons:

The room with sea view we booked was a suite with private outside terraces. There were steps everywhere. Not good if you're older. A total refurbishment is necessary to repair broken handles and redecorate, inside and out. The bed was like a rock. The location is a long way from everywhere, coffee shops, restaurants, town centre. Breakfast was advertised, but we were told after check-in that no food was available. Neither was the restaurant open. We didn't stay.

It’s quaint and that’s unusual in most hotels today - which are usually modern and largely without character - El Dorado
Pros:

El Dorado has a charm that goes back to the elegant days of the 50’s//60’s - there’s a great film history with original artefacts from famous films, used for the decor in
the hotel and you can imagine the ‘greats’ staying there, back in the day. The setting is right on the beach and the walk along the promenade is wonderful, great restaurants and cafes - Carboneras is a hidden little gem, very Spanish - the area where the hotel is situated, has the most amazing art deco buildings - it’s really beautiful. I love it. I might say it’s a little tired but this doesn’t detract from its charm - I’m going back definitely.

Really loved it. Will definitely return.
Pros:

Location of the hotel was amazing. The views from our room were exceptional. The hotel is very quirky and quite old with lots of interesting memorabilia. Our room was huge with separate living room and three outside private areas. Access to the beach took literally less than a minute. Lovely swimming pool right outside our room.
The hotel salon is absolutely charming, probably not changed since it was built.
Staff were very friendly and made us feel so welcome with our huge dog.

Cons:

It’s not really a big criticism but could probably benefit from a bit of a cosmetic update but would not want it to lose its authentic charm.

Unique and beautiful hotel
Pros:

It’s a real gem! We absolutely loved it for its unique character and wonderful customer service. The secluded beach with a gorgeous view, the spacious room, the beautiful terrace with a lovely swimming pool - everything was just right. The lovely receptionist made us feel very welcome and was really helpful. There’s a supermarket just a few minutes away and the town centre is a short walk away from the hotel. Couldn’t recommend it more!
