Pros:

L'emplacement, les vues magnifiques, la verdure, la piscine, la tranquillité, idéal pour déconnecter du stress quotidien.

Cons:

2 points décevants : malgré qu'il n'y avait que quelques clients à l'intérieur du restaurant nous avons été contraints de dîner à l'extérieur car les chiens ne sont pas autorisés dans le restaurant ( on nous a apporté des couvertures car il faisait frais et venteux), nous avions le choix de laisser notre petit chien seul dans la chambre ce que nous avons refusé ou ne pas dîner. On a donc mangé le plus vite possible, pour un repas à 65€ c'est un peu embêtant.

2 ème point : le lendemain lors du check out à midi ( nous sommes arrivés à 17:30 la veille ) nous avons demandé à passer un moment autour de la piscine et la réponse de la réceptionniste a été : " d'accord mais pas longtemps car nous avons un mariage ". Ayant moi même travaillé dans un hôtel 4 étoiles je n'ai jamais vu cela. Il est en effet commun de mettre à disposition une pièce pour garder les bagages et permettre aux clients de rester dans les zones communes jusqu'à leur départ, et même de se doucher ! Cela a été désagréable et fait que je ne retournerais pas dans cet hôtel.Dommage .

Esto sí que es un hotel con encanto.
Pros:

Me gustó todo. El personal muy amable y atendo. La habitación era grande y la cáma cómoda, no pasamos calor a pesar de que era agosto. La piscina estupenda, fue una maravilla ver aves pasando por encima de nosotros mientras tomábamos el sol.

Cons:

Nada. Todo estuvo muy bien.

Relax y desconexión en un hotel tranquilo y muy comodo
Pros:

La tranquilidad y los detalles del lugar.

Cons:

Creo que el servicio de cenas debería tener apoyo de algún camarero más.
El acceso está algo mal señalizado en el pueblo de la Joya.

Would love to return if new beds installed!
Pros:

The location was stunning, we would stay again in good weather. The layout and style reminded me of La Bobadilla 50 km away which is very upmarket.
The idea of having the dog friendly rooms overlooking a large lawn was very good, and lovely walks nearby.
Sitting on the outside terrace for dinner with a stunning view was a memorable.

Cons:

The beds in the dog friendly rooms was terrible, as bad as I have experienced working as a travel professional in 25 years

Amazing location
Pros:

The location was out of this world. The views were extraordinary

Cons:

We had a deluxe bungalow which was lovely and quiet with a beautiful view. The floor near the fireplace wasn’t clean and the bathroom was very tired and the shower flooded.

The staff however tried to do their best. We would definitely go back but not stay in the bungalow.

The pool area was bliss and the salad at lunchtime was excellent

Estancia corta pero estupenda.
Pros:

Pude escoger entre dos habitaciones, a cada cual mejor, gracias a la chica de recepción. En Restaurante la sra que me atendió supercordial y amable. Quizás le falta algo más de variedad en el desayuno, pero bueno Sólo estuve una noche pero estuvo genial.

Cons:

El camino para llegar está un poco descuidado, necesitaría un asfaltado para no dejarte los amortiguadores en un bache.
