Hotel Ritual El Palmar - Adults Only

Me gustó todo… excepto la entrada al hotel, está en malas condiciones y te pierdes

Acceso por dos caminos, uno bastante peligroso, no hay restaurante. Un sitio en plena naturaleza para relajarte

Maravilloso… eso sí, es complicado llegar !!

La cama

Pretty good experience, stunning location, great swimming pool area, comfortable bed but room dated, breakfast so so with choice poor, some staff excellent but others seemed inconvenienced by any requests. Not possible to get a coffee or a drink after 11pm which is strange.

Estupenda la habitación, el personal, los desayunos, la ubicación... lo único que tenemos que decir es que la ducha de nuestra habitación no cerraba y se mojaba todo y que las puertas del baño no cerraban bien porque no estaban bien encajadas las puertas correderas y se caía el yeso del techo por el roce mal.

Hotel pięknie położony, dobry jako baza wypadowa do pobliskich atrakcji i do zwiedzania okolic. Można także się relaksować na pięknie położonym basenie lub jechać na pobliskie plaże.

Good but can do better.
We had a bungalow, but the tiles on the floor need to be fixed. Douche water was leaking through the toilet space. No food is served at the swimming pool, ever no fruit. If you spend your day at the pool, better to foreseen something to eat. No fresh juices for breakfast. Steam bath does not work.

Maravilla de estancia!!!
Yo repetiría, sobretodo por la atención (resaltando a Gabi en recepción) y por el desayuno taaaan conpleto y rico.
Hay que mejorar un poquito el mantenimiento de las habitaciones, pero el trato es tan agradable que se prestan a reparar cualquier cosa en el momento (hasta la maleta que se nos quedó enganchada la cremallera jiji) o te cambian de habitación si hace falta.
Y la piscina uffff me encantaaaa, sobretodo que no tenga horario de cierre 😜
Podría seguir y seguir, pero reservo el broche final al spa, un gustazoooo

Bien en general

Amazing adults-only hotel. It caters mainly to the gay community. Fabulous pool. They’ve spent millions building this place. For non-residents: set lunch menu (very good quality) and use of the pool €20. So a real bargain. Fun fact: a hotel staff member climbed the nearest hill 1km away, high above the hotel and erected a rainbow flag. Way to go Ritual!

The only thing going for this hotel is the location, super close to el palmar and conil and the surrounding is beautiful.

The Hotel needs ALOT of upkeep, doors dont close, water coming out of the shower, wooden steps missing definitely not a four star, it has potential to be but management there has alot to desire. Some friends of mine had dirty rooms (full of condoms on the floor - what the actual f**k. I had hairs in the shower.

DO NOT EAT IN THE RESTAURANT- STAY AWAY. The food is a joke, service is bad. Food is tasteless and is definitely not homemade. There are a couple of restaurants nearby with amazing food, one being la pizzeria at la muela ❤️❤️❤️

The management and staff really need to go on a customer service course, the only person who was amazing is the lady at reception who was lovely, efficient and really understands the importance of giving a good impression.

Drink are overpriced 10euros for an alcoholic mixer. The discotheque called La Casona is horrible, music was such a disappointment. One person sat on the banister outside and the wood broke down and poor lad fall back and really hurt himself. This shows how dilapidated parte of the hotel is. If you are looking for a tranquil gay friendly hotel this is not the place. They do pool parties and anyone can go for the day. They don't even reserve the sun-beds for the clients so the outsiders take over. Oh and a-lot of drugs go on there, sorry not sorry but has to be said.

The Hotel Director is the worst. He makes everyone feel bad, instead of focusing on the wrong doing of a client, focus on how bad you manage the hotel. I feel i have to do this review because I wouldn't want anyone to pay the exorbitant costs which you are basically being robbed.

Get your act together because i do not think that hotel with survive another two years.

Oh there is a drag queen who is brilliant, Raquelita la torbe who always has a smile on her face. She is funny and a lovely person, kudos to you.

It may seem like i have something against the hotel but the sentiment was the same from lots and lots of people staying there. I will definitely never go back.

One star would have been zero stars just because of the location, raquelita and the lady at reception.

This was a great weekend vacation. The staff was amazing and always available to assist with any needs or information. Very clean hotel and excellent food.

Tolle Architektur! Leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen

C’est suite à un séjour au Ritual de Torremolinos que nous avons eu envie d’aller au Ritual El palmar. Nous avons beaucoup aimé cet hôtel. Véhicule indispensable car il est perdu au milieu de la campagne andalouse (et c’est aussi ce qui nous a plu) avec vue sur l’Atlantique. Personnel très agréable et prévenant, les chambres sont spacieuses et très confortables. On se sent vraiment à notre aise et la clientèle nous ressemble. Le petit déjeuner buffet est copieux, varié et très bon. La piscine est superbe. C’est avec plaisir que nous reviendrons!
Quelques améliorations toutefois:
-le hammam et le sauna ne fonctionnaient pas
- les plats servis au restaurant ne sont vraiment pas a la hauteur
- l’hôtel s’affiche comme friendly et Adult only mais nous avons trouvé qu’il y avait beaucoup de couples hétéros et parfois avec des enfants adolescents
- il manque des tapis de sol et des haltères plus légères dans la salle de sport
- le mini bar dans la chambre ne fait quasiment pas de froid alors qu’il était au maximum.

Absolutely beautiful setting. Delightful to spend time in the sun by the pool. The rooms are comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would certainly consider visiting again, but would suggest two improvements. A small one would be to provide more shade by the pool. The big one is to improve the quality of food available on site. The quality of what was offered for lunch and dinner was simply not very good. If you wanted a decent meal and some variety that would therefore require driving 20 minutes each way to local restaurants when often you'd prefer to maximise your time at the hotel enjoying the facilities and the sun.

Buen trato,amabilidad.El personal del hotel excelente así como su clientela.Buena ubicación,un lugar tranquiló donde poder desconectar.Recomendable 100%

The location is amazingly beautiful set in the hills loiki g down to the ocean. The infinity pool is paradise. Peaceful, tranquil amazingly beautiful. Hotel stylishly decorated.
Buffet breakfast superb.Dinner menu excellent. Presented very well. Staff are extremely helpful. Danny in particular is wonderful. Professional and friendly. If you require total seclusion this is the location for you. Verjer de LA Frontera is 15 minutes drive.

Fabulous three night stay at Ritual El Palmar. Very relaxing spa and pool areas & clean, well appointed modern rooms.

The hotel is in a rural location so a car is a must!, although the hotel can arrange local taxi transportation to the surrounding towns and villages if required.

A breakfast buffet (hot & cold) is included in the price of your room and is very good. The restaurant also offers a three course menu del Dia (changes daily) for 15€. Good value.

A special thank you to Javier, who worked tirelessly at least 12 hours a day!

Booked again for June!

EL hotel muy bien con estupendas vistas lo único que puedo reseñar negativo es que falta algo de personal están saturados aunque son tan agradables y atentos que suple la carencia que tienen
