We stayed twice and would again.
Pros:

The food and staff were great. The redtaurant and sime rooms overlook the beachfront and that eas beautiful. It has a throwback hippie feel. It stayed there twice and would again.

Cons:

It was inside a park and there seemed to be a lot of overnight vans. Wifi was not working in our room on two different stays.🤪

einfaches Hostel mit Hippie-Charme in toller Lage und überteuertem Restaurant
Pros:

sehr schöne Lage am Strand am Rande eines Campingplatzes

Cons:

die Preise sind für dieses einfache „Hostel“ mit Backpackercharme überzogen- wir hatten ein kleines dunkles Eckzimmer, das Frühstück war bescheiden, das Abendessen im Restaursnr mit Campingplatzcharme völlig überteuert.

Pros:

Lage, Lage, Lage !!!
Wirklich sehr schön gelegen.
Zimmer waren sauber, Frühstück ausreichend.
Fön und Pflegeprodukte vorhanden.
2x im dazugehörigen Restaurant gegessen, war sehr gut.
Parkplatz vor dem Haus.
Sehr naturnah mit Schwalben und schöner Bepflanzung.
Chilliges sitzen auf Lounge Möbel, leckerem Getränk und direktem Blick aufs Meer.
Kein störendes Licht Nachts.
Bequeme Betten.

Cons:

Wir hatten dieses Hotel gewählt weil wir Ruhe und Erholung suchten.
Leider gab es bis fast 2.00 Uhr Nachts extremen Lärm von Hotelgäste die auf der direkt neben unserem Zimmer anschließenden Restaurant Terrasse kein Ende fanden, und keine Rücksicht nahmen.
Hier hätte ich mir gewünscht das seitens des Hotels bzw. des dazugehörigen Restaurants jemand deutliche Worte gefunden hätten.

Nice beach shack with great food. More rules on dogs please
Pros:

The location is excellent right on the beach- the bar is great with ample sofas and places to chill out. The food was excellent and the beds were comfortable. The massage was Amazing highly recommend.

Cons:

They allow dogs to roam free and guests let there dogs poo on the lawn that is private for guests I nearly steps on one! This just isn’t acceptable. The electricity went twice while we were there walking us up in the middle of the night as the emergency lights come on and we couldn’t turn them off so we have a bad night sleep the next day we couldn’t shower, get WiFi or get toast or coffee as there was no electricity, then said it was all of Tarifa which wasn’t true and there was no real apology or back up plan to acomódate guests, the breakfast kept running out of food and they were slow to replenish so felt sparse.

Das war kein Hotel, es war wie ein zu Hause, vollkommen unkompliziert und normal. Herrlich
Pros:

Die Lage war hervorragend, in den Dünen direkt am Strand. Es war traumhaft. Die Terasse, gelegen mitten in den Dünen, hat einem einen super Ausblick auf das Meer und die Surfer geboten. Ich hätte Stunden dort verbringen können.
Das Personal war super freundlich. "Arte Vida" passt, fahre nächstes Jahr wieder hin. Die Zimmer sind einfach ausgestattet aber es ist alles da was man braucht und ich würde es jedem Luxushotel vorziehen.

Cons:

gar nix
