“Would come again”

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay in Fuerte Conil. The hotel is actually comprised of two - Fuerte Conil and Fuerte Costa Luz.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay in Fuerte Conil. The hotel is actually comprised of two - Fuerte Conil and Fuerte Costa Luz. Residents can use both hotels' facilities, but breakfast is served in the hotel of residence. We stayed in Costa Luz part. First of all, the best impressions: 1) hotel is very clean, 2) it has great gardens, 3) people do not hoard sunbeds, so you could get one when you feel like it, 4) the breakfast is beyond excellent with its fresh fruits and just pressed juices, quality meats and cheeses, superbroad selection of muesli and hot foods (also non gluten food is available), 5) room, balcony and bathroom are spacious, matresses are good, conditioning is effective, 6) hotel staff is polite but not overbearing, 7) water from the tab is drinkable so no need for bottled water. The natural gem of the location is compratively mild climate (temperature did not go over 32), bustling evening life in the town of Conil and of course the superb Playa de Fontanilla beach. It is a very wide (100 m accross) beach with white sand. There are no sharp stones whatsoever. It declines slowly into the ocean, so is is safe for younder kids. The beach is very clean and taken care of. Toilets, showers and feet washing posts are available in regular intervals. There are kiosks and restaurants that are not overpriced next to the beach. Staying on the beach is not pricy - you could rent a sun bed or you could come with your own towels, chairs, refrigirator bags and sun parasoles like locals do. The waves are considerable in size, but the pull into the ocean is not too strong. If you come with a pram or with a wheelchair - no problem, ther ramps available. Within our hotel we have used parking garage, tennis court, ping pong table, gym, jacuzzy, big waterpools and inner waterpool. Garage is small, so drive carefully. It could be reached only if your card is coded with access. It costs 13 euro a day. You don't need to use it, since outside there is enough of parking space. Tennis court is avaiable from 11 to 20 due to Spanish guests' habit to sleep in late. The most shadowy time is 19-20. Ping pong is not too crowded, you give 5 euros as a deposit to make sure you don't mes up rackets. Gym is not too crowdrd with variety of equipment, it is also clean. Waterpools vary in depth. Pool guards are dilgent, but not rude. Now to some things that need to be known. 1) The algorythms offer a double bed and a 90 cm bed for a family of 2 adults and kids under 12. 90 cm bed is too narrow for two kids over 10. Our kids made it work, but it was not easy. 2) The hotel mainly serves Spanish guests. Mostly everyone understands English, but be prepared to get an answer in German or in Spanish. 3. Spanish guests wake up late - you will get a peaceful breakfast if you come before 9.30. Spanish guests also stay up late. 4. Be prepared for blasting music till 24.00 just next to your window. Also some very young kids will run and shout in corridors after 22.00. 5. Even though you see photoes of video game room - it was closed. Our teenager boys would have loved to use it. All in all, we are very satisfied and would definitely visit again.

“Avoid in hotter months if you want a comfortable night sleep.”

The air con is completely inadequate. We could hardly sleep at night!!!. Very uncomfortable indeed. I suspect they are saving money despite being a 4 start hotel. We made this clear to them multiple times, they only provided two small portable heater fans which were inadequate and very very noisy.… more

The air con is completely inadequate. We could hardly sleep at night!!!. Very uncomfortable indeed. I suspect they are saving money despite being a 4 start hotel. We made this clear to them multiple times, they only provided two small portable heater fans which were inadequate and very very noisy. We were three separate rooms, all of us encountered the same problem and struggled to sleep. I was told off for using the milk machine beside the coffee machine by the breakfast waiter, despite no sign or indication or any hot milk having been served us. I apologised profusely…..
